OnePlus 3 Vs OnePlus 3T – What’s the difference?
In fact, the official specs of the smartphone were leaked on OnePlus’s official website before the scheduled live stream announcement on its Facebook account. Alternatively, O2 will also be offering the 64GB OnePlus 3T SIM-free for £417.99.
The OnePlus 3T has come as a bit of a surprise, superseding the OnePlus 3 – which was only launched in June this year – at the top of the Chinese manufacturer’s smartphone lineup. The phone has a faster processor and a bigger battery over the phone that it replaces. Set up of the Snapdragon 820 chipset on the OnePlus 3, the OnePlus 3T accompanies a Snapdragon 821 chipset instead and it is clocked at 2.35GHz.
There are not many, but few differences between the new OnePlus 3T and old OnePlus 3 model.
Thankfully, battery has been one of the elements addressed on this new phone with OnePlus providing a beefier 3400 mAh battery. Looks like the OnePLus 3T is quite the Apple iPhone competitor so far! It comes with the latest Oxygen OS on top of Android Marshmallow which is OnePLus native OS. The back camera is still the same as the last version and is of 16MP.
First of all, the phone packs the most powerful mobile processor available on the market, the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821.
OnePlus 3 packs 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage which can not be expanded.
The handset will start at $439 which is about £353 for the 64GB model and go up to $479, about £385, for the 128GB version. The RAM remains unchanged at 6GB. OnePlus 3T comes with 5.5-inch FHD AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Plus it’s encased in Corning’s Gorilla Glass 4 for protection and features a super minimal bezel. Even if you are thinking of upgrading your OnePlus 3, you will have to pay $339 for 64 GB version.
Well, it’s not the rear camera that gets the biggest upgrade, although the 16-megapixel rear unit with enhanced electronic image stabilization, “Intelligent Pixel Technology” which lower down the noise in low light and a sapphire lens are all nice additions. The change has been done on the front camera. The camera can record up to 4K videos at 30 fps and 720p slow motion at 120fps.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that OnePlus 3 will eventually be killed off as OnePlus 3T makes its way to other markets. The 20W OnePlus Dash Charge is still supported, and this should translate into very fast charging times. OnePlus 3T will retail in Gun Metal and Soft Gold variant. It goes on sale in the U.S. on 22 November. The Indian availablity and pricing is still unknown.
