OnePlus has finally confirmed the official launch date of OnePlus 3T in India. OnePlus 3T, the updated version of OnePlus 3 will arrive in India on December 2, which is just a week from now.

Earlier this week, OnePlus confirmed its plans to bring the updated flagship to India and OnePlus 3T is definitely the talk of the smartphone world. The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 processor, the same chipset available with Google's Pixel range. The smartphone sports the same 5.5-inch Full HD optic AMOLED display and unibody metal design like its predecessor. However, OnePlus 3T will lack support for Google's Daydream VR platform.

In a Reddit AMA, OnePlus confirmed that its latest flagship won't support Daydream VR platform. OnePlus says OnePlus 3 was designed before the arrival of Daydream and so the device won't be compatible with Daydream even after Android 7.0 Nougat update. The company also confirmed that the Nougat update (slated for December) will arrive very soon. With that confirmation, Google Pixel and Moto Z will be the only devices support Daydream right now.

While it may lack support for VR, OnePlus 3T makes up for it with a stellar specifications set. The smartphone comes with 6GB and now option for 64 or 128GB storage. There is 16MP rear camera (same as OnePlus 3) with support for 4K video recording. OnePlus has improved the EIS for better effective stabilisation while recording videos.

The smartphone also brings a slightly larger 3400mAh battery and Oxygen OS 3.2, which should combine for a day long battery life. The smartphone was announced at a starting price of $439 in the US and it killed the OnePlus 3 to become the only flagship device.

The big question ahead of OnePlus 3T launch would be the price. Will OnePlus kill OnePlus 3 in India also and introduce OnePlus 3T at Rs 27,999? If that happens then this product will hit all the right notes. However, we expect OnePlus 3T to arrive at slight premium to OnePlus 3 and that price would certainly be justified.
