OnePlus is long rumored to launch the new variant of the OnePlus 3 rumored as OnePlus 3T that was previously rumored to be powered by the latest Qualcomm chipset SD821. Now the chip maker itself has confirmed that OnePlus is soon going to launch a new device that will be powered by their latest processor Snapdragon 821. Some rumors from China also says that OnePlus will launch the OnePlus 3T on November 14 in an official event in London.

Qualcomm has confirmed via a tweet and posted, “Something new from @OnePlus is on the way…and it’s powered by our #Snapdragon 821 processor. Stay tuned.” which confirms that a OnePlus device is on its way with SD821, however, the tweet doesn’t mention the OnePlus 3T smartphone. But as the rumors says, the OnePlus 4 is expected to launch next year with the SD830 processor, so the chances of the OnePlus 4 are almost zero to launch which also clears the way for the launch of the rumored OnePlus 3T.
