In 2016, both the OnePlus 3 and the OnePlus 3T, two high-end smartphones, were launched. One of the two featured the next-generation processor Qualcomm had released in mid-2016. Will a new-generation processor be released this year? OnePlus 5T with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 836?
OnePlus 5T
If the OnePlus 3 was launched in the month of June, and the OnePlus 3T was launched in the month of November, it is possible that the new OnePlus 5T is also launched at the end of this 2017. The new OnePlus 3T was launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor that Qualcomm launched in the middle of the year as a version of a somewhat higher level than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 that it had launched, and with which the OnePlus 3 already had.
In 2017 the OnePlus 5 was launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, and it precisely seems that Qualcomm could launch a higher-level version of the processor, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 836. Bill Google Pixel 2 could have the new processor. In 2016 the Google Pixel also launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.
Will the OnePlus 5T be released in late 2017?
It is possible that the OnePlus 5T launches at the end of 2017. However, that will depend on whether there were indeed many users who bought the OnePlus 3T in 2016. It will also depend on whether the OnePlus 5 sales are really positive. It will also depend on whether There are many smartphones that are launched with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 836 processor, and the OnePlus 5 would no longer be one of the best mobiles on the market. The truth is that the OnePlus 5 has a price of 500 euros, while the OnePlus 3 had a price of 400 euros. Because of this, It is no longer a smartphone priced as cheaply as the one launched in 2016, and users might consider it better to buy a slightly more expensive mobile that has a better processor.
It is possible that this is why the OnePlus 5T is finally released. In fact, the ideal would be that A OnePlus 5T will be launched that also had a price of 500 eurosand that The OnePlus 5 will have a cheaper price. A OnePlus 5, priced at 400 euros, for example, would be one of the best smartphones we could buy at that price, even if the OnePlus 5T had been launched.
In any case, the OnePlus 5T would be launched at the end of 2017. It may never be released. And if it does not launch, it is very possible that the price of the OnePlus 5 will remain the same at the end of 2017 as it is now. But even if it was launched, it is possible that the OnePlus 5T will be launched with a price of about 580 euros, since the OnePlus 3T was launched with a price of about 480 euros, when the price of the OnePlus 3 was 400 euros.
A couple of details, the 3T went on sale for € 460, not € 480, and when the 3T went on sale they stopped selling the 3. So there will be no cheaper version of the 5 when the 5T comes out.
