OnePlus 3T goes on sale outside the US: UK and Europe sales start today, India in early December

The OnePlus 3T, the souped-up remake of the OnePlus 3, is now available outside the United States and Canada: starting today, the 3T is available across Europe and in the United Kingdom.

What's new and noteworthy about the OnePlus 3T? Just like its predecessor, it features flagship-grade specs: Qualcomm' most powerful Snapdragon 821 system chip (and not in its processor capped version as we have in the Google Pixel) with 6GB of RAM at nearly half the price of its rivals with similar hardware.

Yes, the price of the OnePlus 3T is slightly higher than the OnePlus 3, but it still compares favorably with the mainstream. Here is how the price of the 3T breaks down:

$439 / €439 / £399 - OnePlus 3T 64GB model
$479 / €479 / £439 - OnePlus 3T 128GB model
$869 - Google Pixel XL 128GB model
$869 - Apple iPhone 7 Plus 128GB model

The list of new features on the OnePlus 3T also includes a new color, 'gunmetal gray', a darker shade than the silver on the OnePlus 3, a new 16-megapixel front camera, and probably most importantly: a 3,400 mAh battery, a boost over the original 3,000 mAh cell.

Currently, the OnePlus 3T 64GB and 128GB version ship within 5 days in the UK, while in Germany and other mainland Europe markets it 5 days for the 64 gig model and 4 weeks for the 128GB version. You can buy the phone at the source link right below.

I don't see the point in this, surely people are thinking towards 2017 releases right now?

My dad needs a dual sim phone in the next week or so. For people like him, this is one of the best choices he can pick. If you are a phone enthusiast, then yes it's better to wait for next year. But for someone who needs a new phone now, this is as good as it gets.

Does your dad really need a OnePlus 3T over a OnePlus 3 ?

Nope, he will most likely get the 3 since the 3T isn't available yet. But if it was, the battery life gains would make him choose the 3T.

US prices I guess are not so bad, $399 to $439. £329 to £399 here in the UK makes it less appealing, even less so when you consider they were originally selling them for £309.

This time of the year is the best time ever to buy a flagship smartphone. All the galaxy, htc, lg, and other have been out by now for some time with lots of price cuts. Why would you buy a flagship for 800$ when its out and not wait 6 months to get it almost half the price? That unfortunately does not apply for iPhones.

The best answer to that is don't buy overpriced flagship devices, simples. If you stick to the better value phones the sales don't make much difference.
