The leaks have been pouring in about the new OnePlus device expected to hit the market. The phone now referred to as the OnePlus 3T is an upgraded version of the OnePlus 3. Earlier today, Evan Blass posted on twitter that the new phone will even be sporting a higher price tag in addition to the upgrades.

There is however a new detail leaked by a source on Weibo. The acoount @Reviewer_Well says the OnePlus 3T will launch with a new camera, the Sony IMX398. Sounds familiar right, yes it does and that is because it is the same sensor on the recently announced OPPO R9s and R9s Plus.

The 16MP shooter has a f/1.7 aperture and dual-core autofocus. It will replace the IMX298 on the original OnePlus 3 and should come with OIS like its sibling.

The source also says the phone will ship with 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 821 processor. We however don’t know if it will feature a larger battery. The OnePlus 3T is also expected to launch with Android Nougat out of the box. The company has already announced they’ve been working on a Nougat update for the OP3, so shipping the OP3T with Nougat is a possibility.

OPPO has sent out invitations for the official launch of the OPPO R9s. The invitation lists the date as the 19th of October for the release of the R9 successor.

Like its sibling, the R9s will focus on camera performance and the invitation reveals that the phone will be the first in the world to sport Sony’s new IMX398 sensor. OPPO is still keeping the details of the camera under wraps but a source says it is a 16MP dual-pixel camera combo on the front and rear with a f/1.7 aperture.

The OPPO R9s is also expected to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor, a 3010mAh battery with VOOC fast charge, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage.

Although the invitation is for the R9s, we don’t know if the R9s Plus which was featured in a TV ad recently will launch on that day or later. A still from the ad shows the R9s Plus with a bigger body (or screen) which is all we know about the phone right now.

It’s hard to tell if OPPO will change the internals of the R9s Plus like they did with the R9 Plus or if they’ll just leave the difference at screen size.
