OnePlus 3T Launched With Snapdragon 821, 16 MP Front Camera
OnePlus 3T was launched today after weeks of leaks and reports. The latest smartphone from OnePlus comes with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and an improved 16 MP front facing camera. The OnePlus 3T comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, although the company has said that the Nougat update is in the works already.
OnePlus 3T Specs
The new OnePlus 3T is more or less a semi-upgrade from the OnePlus 3. It comes with the same 5.5 inch full HD display, featuring the same Optic AMOLED technology that we saw on the OnePlus 3. It comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box with a Nougat update already in the works.
Coming to other specs, the OnePlus 3T comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC with a quad-core processor and Adreno 530 GPU. The Snapdragon 821 is a higher binned version of the Snapdragon 820, with a slight improvement in performance. In essence, you can expect all updates that the Snapdragon 821 receives will be pushed to the Snapdragon 820 as well.
On the memory front, the OnePlus 3T comes with 6 GB RAM. In terms of storage, you get two versions – 64 GB and 128 GB, both featuring the fast UFS 2.0 technology. There is no support for memory cards, though.
The next big improvement we see is on the camera front. The rear camera is the same as before – a 16 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, phase detection autofocus, optical image stabilisation and LED flash. On the front, though, is where things get interesting. OnePlus has sourced a 16 MP sensor from Samsung. So you’re getting a 16 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus on the front as well.
Lastly, the battery has also seen a bump. From 3000 mAh on the OnePlus 3, you now get a 3400 mAh battery on the OnePlus 3T. Dash Charge and USB Type C are also present.
Other connectivity options include dual SIM, 4G VoLTE support, Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC.
Pricing And Availability
The OnePlus 3T has been priced at $439 for the 64 GB version and $479 for the 128 GB version. At the moment, OnePlus 3T will be made available in US and Europe. Details about availability in other markets are not known yet.
