OnePlus 3T more details

It will broadly focus on more precision and more power, over its predecessor phone, according to OnePlus. While the first pointer could be related to the phone's improved camera power, the other could be talking about its improved processor and bigger battery.

The OnePlus 3T will reportedly carry the same camera specs as the original OnePlus 3, but will come with a faster Sony IMX398 sensor, under the hood. The Sony IMX398 sensor - to an extent -- is responsible for the Google Pixel's fantastic low-light photography skills.

Moving on, the phone will definitely come with a Snapdragon 821 processor, which although is currently the fastest mobile processor in the world, is only just a slight upgrade over the Snapdragon 820. You can look at it as a slightly over clocked (2.35GHz) version of the Snapdragon 820. But then, having a Snapdragon 821 processor would bring the OnePlus 3T in the same league as the Google Pixel.

The OnePlus 3T may also come with a bigger battery ranging anywhere between 3,500 mAh to 4,000 mAh. The OnePlus 3 has decent battery life (above-average), if not the best. Moderate to extreme usage saw us charging the phone twice on a working day. OnePlus may be looking to change that by harboring a bigger battery inside its next iteration. Of course, Dash Charging would ensure the phone charges like a bullet.

The OnePlus 3T will also reportedly come with Android Nougat straight off the bat. OnePlus is known to take its own sweet time to update its phones. With that in mind, the company is working to merge its global Oxygen and China-specific Hydrogen ROMs into one unified entity. This is to, besides giving out the general impression that it is taking software updates very seriously, streamline the two products and offer users the best of both worlds. The OnePlus 3 OxygenOS 3.5.1 community build was the first (concrete) brainchild of the merger. It is yet to be seen whether or not the merged ROM will available in time for the OnePlus 3T market availability.

Despite ongoing rumours that OnePlus will put an LCD display in its upcoming phones due to a shortage of (Optic) AMOLED display panels, the company co-founder Carl Pei has reiterated that "OnePlus will be staying with Optic AMOLED displays for the foreseeable future." Chinese OEMs like OnePlus and Xiaomi have so far refrained from using a higher resolution display in its phones due to budget and battery concerns. Although, a 2K resolution screen would seem appropriate for the OnePlus 3T to make it qualify a thorough upgrade of the original, it wouldn't be surprising if it comes with the exact set of display parameters as its predecessor.

OnePlus 3T: The upgrade will cost you

As per the rumurs the OnePlus 3T will be priced at $479, which roughly translates to Rs 31,000. The phone retails at Rs 27,999 in India. A company like Xiaomi has, until now, shied away from bringing its more expensive phones to India, because well, it isn't ready yet. The Mi 5 high-end version wasn't brought to India, just because it would have cost somewhere around Rs 30,000. OnePlus, on the other hand did not have a choice. It had just the one flagship phone to contend with. Now that it would have two, it would be interesting to see how things pan out for the Indian audience.

So what is the bad news:

The bad news s for the end users who recently bought the OnePlus 3 device and now may be tempted for the same device upgrade. The phone was launched in June, and already, OnePlus is looking to replace it with a more powerful and a more expensive smartphone. People might have doubt regarding the performance of The OnePlus 3 device and further lead to disatisfaction
