OnePlus is an Android company that still receives plenty of attention for its high-end handsets that are sold around the world for reasonable products. The OnePlus 3 is already one of the best Android devices of the year, considering what you get for your buck. But OnePlus will not wait until 2017 to release a hot new smartphone. The Chinese company has been working on something else, and we’re going to see it next week. It’s probably the OnePlus 3T, which appeared in a bunch of rumors so far.

In a teaser video posted on Twitter, OnePlus confirmed that it’s going to unveil something new on November 15th. It’s a new device that will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chip clocked at 2.35GHz. That’s Qualcomm’s latest mobile processor, which is already found in Google’s Pixel smartphones.

OnePlus is apparently counting down to the event, so we might see more details about the OnePlus 3T revealed on Twitter in the following days. That “T-7” might also be an indication that OnePlus 3T is indeed the name of the next phone coming from OnePlus.

Previous reports hinted the new phone will feature a 5.5-inch Full HD LCD display, a 16-megapixel camera, and run Android 7.0 Nougat right out of the box.

Qualcomm earlier this week also teased that a new OnePlus device is on the way and that it’ll feature its Snapdragon 821 processor. The chipmaker did not say what OnePlus will announce or when, focusing solely on teasing the Snapdragon 821.
