It is speculated that the smartphone would sport similar specifications as that of OnePlus 5 except for a potentially bigger battery.

OnePlus 3T was launched in 2016 and appeared almost identical to OnePlus 3 but with an improved processor, front and back cameras and sapphire glass protected lens cover.

Recently, GSMArena stated that the company would launch the OnePlus 5T on November 5 but the report was later corrected after the company issued a statement denying any such plans.
