OnePlus has launched the much-anticipated OnePlus 3T with 16MP front-facing snapper in gun metal and soft gold color variants starting at $439. According to sources, the OnePlus 3T is a significant upgrade over OnePlus 3 launched a few months back. The main difference is that OnePlus 3T offers an improved Snapdragon 821 processor, enhanced internal storage and 16MP front-facing camera paired with a larger battery.

OnePlus 3T will be available for sale from November 22 in the US and Canada. Meanwhile, the phone will hit retail shelves in Europe from November 26. The company has announced that they will launch the handset in other emerging markets starting November 28.

During the launch event, the company revealed that a new OxygenOS build based on Android 7.0 Nougat will be released for the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T before the end of 2016. In future, both handsets will receive updates simultaneously.
