OnePlus has now officially announced the launch date for its next Snapdragon 821-based smartphone and will be made official on November 15 at 1 PM EST (11:30 PM IST). The event will be live-streamed on OnePlus’s Facebook page.

The company has now officially confirmed the device name after all its rumours. Also, the teaser video not so subtly shows off a “T” which could be a hint that the device could be named as the OnePlus 3T.

We could see a 10% performance boost on the OnePlus 3T when compared to OnePlus 3. The Snapdragon 821 chipset on the OnePlus 3T is anticipated to come clubbed with 6GB of RAM. The company might launch the device with two internal storage options – 64GB/128GB. For pricing, it is expected to be priced at $479 (approx. Rs. 32,100), which is $80 costlier than the OnePlus 3, which debuted in India at Rs. 27,999.

The device will run Android 7.0 Nougat, and its high-end chipset would make it somewhat stronger than the OnePlus 3 that uses Snapdragon 820 SoC. All other features are expected to stay identical to the previous model, such as 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display, 64GB storage, 6GB of RAM, and 3000 mAh battery.

That, no doubt, will be the question on every OnePlus 3 buyer’s mind. Everything will be known about its specification on Nov. 15 when OnePlus makes the phone official. Until then, take all rumours with a pinch of salt.
