Subsequently, OnePlus 3T's imminent announcement probably means that people won't be able to purchase OnePlus 3 anymore.

While visiting the company's website right now OnePlus 3 has gone out of stock. Most likely, the company wants people to check out the powerful OnePlus 3T before making their final buying decisions.

However, the new phone comes as an upgrade over the currently available OnePlus 3. OnePlus 3T with improvements in various segments such as camera, storage, battery, and processor will be a good reason for people to upgrade to the better performing gadget.

Here are 10 features of the new OnePlus 3T that you need to know.

Faster Processor

OnePlus 3T looks to be more powerful as it features a 2.35GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, which is faster and efficient. On the contrary, it still has got 6GB of RAM that we saw in the OnePlus 3.

More Storage

OnePlus 3T brings 64GB of storage in its base model, but users also have an option to upgrade to 128GB of internal storage.

Larger Battery

The OnePlus 3T brings a slightly larger battery at 3,400 mAh compared to 3,000 mAh on the 3. Impressively, OnePlus has managed to fit in the extra battery without changing the device's footprint at all.
