Qualcomm Reveals that the OnePlus 3T Will Sport Snapdragon 821 SoC.

Qualcomm may just have confirmed that the OnePlus 3T variant will sport a Snapdragon 821 processor. OnePlus is said to be working on a refined variant of the OnePlus 3, and it was largely rumored to sport Qualcomm's latest processor.

Now, Qualcomm itself has tweeted that another OnePlus smartphone is on the way, and it sports the latest Snapdragon 821 processor. While the chipmaker did not specifically mention that the processor will power the rumored OnePlus 3T, it is the only device that is reportedly 'on the way'. The OnePlus 4 is still months away from launch, and will be revealed sometime mid-next year powered by what's anticipated to be the Snapdragon 830 processor.

Nevertheless, Qualcomm has confirmed that a new OnePlus smartphone is in the offing. The OnePlus 3T was expected to launch in December around Christmas, but recent reports indicate at a November 14 launch.

The OnePlus 3T is expected to be priced at $479 (roughly Rs. 32,100) - $80 more than the OnePlus 3, which is priced at Rs. 27,999 in India. It is expected to run on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat-based OxygenOS version, and sport an Optic AMOLED display. The design of the OnePlus 3T is also expected to be similar to the flagship, with support for Dash Charge embedded as well.

Past leaks suggest a larger 3300mAh battery, 6GB of RAM, as well as 64GB and 128GB built-in storage variants. The company is also tipped to include a 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 sensor for the rear camera, instead of the 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor seen on the OnePlus 3.

Out of the four Kyro cores, two will be clocked at 2.4GHz which will be the performance cluster whereas the power cluster will have two Kyro cores clocked above 2GHz. The GPU that has been employed in the Snapdragon 821 isn’t yet known.

It hasn’t been long since the Snapdragon 820 was announced and we have seen it in the Xiaomi Mi 5, LeEco Le Max 2, the HTC 10 and the LG G5 so far. As compared to the Snapdragon 810, the Snapdragon 820 is much improved. The Snapdragon 821 will just take those improvements a step further.

According to Qualcomm, the handsets sporting the Snapdragon 821 will only be seen in the second half of 2016. Speculations are already hinting at the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and the upcoming HTC built Nexus device.

LeEco likely to launch new smartphone with 8GB RAM, Snapdragon 821 on 29 June

Last week, there were rumors about LeEco working on a device with 8GB of RAM. Though I thought their just rumors so I thought I'd better not report it. But now if reports floating online are to be believed than it may become a reality soon. The company has put out an official teaser about an event on 29 June. The company has confirmed that it will be revealing a new device at the Mobile World Congress, Shanghai.

According to a previous report, the render of LeEco's new smartphone looks very similar to the recently launched Le Max 2 with a metal build. So, it is believed that the coming device could be just another variant. Speculations are rife that the device could be the Le Max 2 Pro.

The teaser doesn't really say much about the product. But, apart from the 8GB RAM, the highlight of the device is said to be the Snapdragon 821, which is re-branded Snapdragon 823. According to GizChina, the upcoming smartphone from LeEco will be powered by a Snapdragon 821/823 processor even though Snapdragon 820 is compatible with high RAM units. On the camera front, it is expected to come equipped with a whopping 25MP sensor. The device will also get a fingerprint scanner on the back. It is said to carry a price tag that reads 3000 Yuan which translates to roughly Rs 30,000.

The Le Max 2 was recently launched in India starting at Rs 22,999. Sporting a 5.7-inch QHD display, the spec sheet includes 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB onboard storage, 21MP rear snapper, 8MP front camera, Snapdragon 820 and CDLA technology.
