OnePlus 3T Features

Let’s begin with aesthetics. The OnePlus 3T will be available in two colors: Gunmetal and Soft Gold. Inside we find the best mobile CPU on the Android side, i.e., the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.35GHz. A nice upgrade from the SD 820 present on the OnePlus 3, and also the USP of the OnePlus 3T.

The phone still features a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display coated in Corning Gorilla Glass 4, It’ll sport 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage as well as a 128GB variant (not available earlier).

The rear camera stays the same 16MP IMX298 sensor shooter with PDAF, f/2.0 aperture and 4K video recording capability. Meanwhile the front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 16MP Samsung 3P8SP with PDAF and f/2.0 aperture, this one will only be able to record 1080p @30fps… perhaps keeping in mind the growing selfie junta.

The OnePlus 3T will be fueled by a bigger 3400mAh capacity battery (3000mAh on the OnePlus 3) featuring Dash Charge fast charging technology, which they say it allows to charge a “day’s power in half an hour”.

The phone measures 152.7 x 74.7 x 7.35 mm and weighs 158 grams, it will support Cat.6 4G, VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, GLONASS, NFC.

The fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 3T is integrated in the front home button and it comes with Oxygen OS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Android N has been officially announced to arrive later this year.

The OnePlus 3T will be on sale for $439 for the 64GB version and $479 for the 128GB, starting November 22nd.

So that was it, a slightly upgraded OnePlus 3, with better front facing camera and bigger battery to please power users. Not a whole lot more than that!
