OnePlus will be launching its latest phone, the OnePlus 3T before the end of the year. It is rumored to cost an extra $80 because of the "upgrades" on it.
According to First Post, OnePlus is currently working on an enhanced version of the OnePlus 3 with a newer processor and a better display. The OnePlus 3T is expected to be launched at December.
About the reason why the OnePlus 3T is going to be $80 more costly, it is because of two things: a new processor and a new sensor. The Oneplus 3T is believed to sport the Snapdragon 821 and a Sony IMX398 sensor.
