On 19 November 2017, the first stable Android 8.0 Oreo update was released, as OxygenOS version 5.0. It was also announced that it would be the last major update.
Īfter owners of the phone expressed concern whether their phone would be abandoned after the release of the OnePlus 5, it was confirmed by Pete Lau, the CEO, that the phone, and its predecessor would eventually receive a software update to Android O. The last version of 7.1.1 was released as OxygenOS version 4.5.1 on 16 October 2017. Ī major stable update (still based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat) was released on 25 September 2017, as OxygenOS version 4.5.0. The last version of 7.1.1 as OxygenOS 4.1.x was released as version 4.1.7 on 22 August 2017. OnePlus then released a first stable version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat on 16 March 2017, with the release of OxygenOS version 4.1.0. The last version of 7.0 was released as OxygenOS version 4.0.3 on 9 February 2017. OnePlus released the first stable version of Android 7.0 Nougat on 31 December 2016, with the release of OxygenOS 4.0. The last version of 6.0.1 released was OxygenOS version 3.5.4 on 14 December 2016. The OnePlus 3T came out of the box with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, as OxygenOS version 3.5. The phone comes with a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and a bigger 3400 mAh battery. Additionally, the power brick can contain larger, dedicated electronics, whereas any power processing on a phone has to use smaller and cooler equipment, reducing the speed of charging. According to the company, this is accomplished by doing all the power transforming required for direct input to the battery in the power brick supplied, not within the phone itself, reducing heat on the device. The phone once again has the same OnePlus quick charging capabilities named Dash Charge with the ability to gain 60% of the charge in 30 minutes. The phone has an upgraded front-facing Samsung 3P8SP sensor with 16 MP, 1.0 µm, f/2.0 and EIS. The OnePlus 3T contains the same rear-facing Sony IMX298 sensor with 16 MP, 1.1 μm, f/2.0, Optical image stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), as the predecessor.
It includes NFC and the same fast finger scanner which can unlock the device in approximately 0.3 seconds. The phone also features the same alert slider which users can use to quickly toggle between alert modes from silent to priority to all notifications. The OnePlus 3T now comes in options for 64 GB or 128 GB of UFS 2.0 storage. It features the same Optic AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection, in the same casing of the OnePlus 3.
Users can also purchase the same protective covers in Bamboo, Rosewood, Black Apricot, Karbon and Sandstone, which takes care of the camera hump and evens it with the phone. The OnePlus 3T's darker aluminium backing is the only physical characteristic that allows it to be distinguished from the OnePlus 3. A limited edition Midnight Black colored phone was available to purchase on 28 March 2017, it featured an all black backing similar to the Colette exclusive limited edition but without the logo. The device is available in two colors, a new Gunmetal (black/gray), which is slightly darker than the Graphite color used in the OnePlus 3 and Soft Gold (white/gold) which was released on 6 January 2017. The OnePlus 3T has the same metal back design, compared with the OnePlus 3, with anodised aluminium and curved edges. This exclusive edition of the phone went on sale in Paris at a Colette store on 21 March 2017. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Colette, a French high fashion, streetwear, and accessory retailer, OnePlus and Colette partnered to produce 250 exclusive limited edition black versions of the phone featuring a Colette logo at the back of the phone. The OnePlus 3T has 6 GB of RAM, the option of 64 or 128 GB of UFS 2.0 storage, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor that can support the new Daydream VR headset from Google. It went on sale in a new Gunmetal colour with the Soft Gold option being released soon after much like the OnePlus 3. The OnePlus 3T was released on 15 November 2016 via a Facebook live video.
