OnePlus/Business Insider
Normally, companies announce new phone models a year after announcing the previous model.
OnePlus, on the other hand, just announced a new updated model of the OnePlus 3, called the OnePlus 3T. Worth noting: The OnePlus 3 was released just five months ago.
Why? OnePlus is unsatisfied with waiting a year before bringing you the latest and greatest specs.
"We're weird like that and we're not like the others" OnePlus told Business Insider, referring to the big guns at Apple and Samsung with annual release cycles.
Indeed, OnePlus' tagline "Never Settle" is ringing true.
But what about current OnePlus 3 owners? Are you "settling" with your "old" phone, even though it's barely five months old? I'm sure some OnePlus 3 owners won't be happy, as you might have waited for the 3T had you known OnePlus was going to release it just five months after the 3.
The good news is the OnePlus 3T isn't that much of an upgrade. The OnePlus 3 is still a top-drawer phone with top-drawer specs and premium performance, and OnePlus will update the Oxygen operating system that runs on top of pure Android with the same features as the 3T. The OnePlus 3 will also continue to receive the same Oxygen OS updates at the same time as the 3T does, too.
