OnePlus has already unveiled its latest flagship, the step-up OnePlus 3T. The new iteration has been on a staggered release. Already available in the United States, other regions like the U.K. and China are scheduled to ship in the new flagship starting next week.

According to GizmoChina, OnePlus has finally pegged a release date for the OnePlus 3T in China, scheduling the debut on Nov. 29. The launch will also be the new flagship's release date as the OnePlus 3T will be immediately available for orders. The indie tech maker has yet to come out with pricing details. However, it is expected that the OnePlus 3T will be priced starting at CNY 2799 or around $406 for its base version with 64 GB storage and at least CNY3299 or US$478 for the 128-GB variant.

Meanwhile, it is also confirmed that the OnePlus 3T will also be offered in the United Kingdom starting Nov. 28. Supposedly, mobile carrier O2 will be the sole distributor of the new flagship in the market. Aside from subscription plans, the new iteration will be available starting at £399.

The OnePlus 3T will also be launched for other European regions on the same day.

The new iteration serves as the step-up version of the tech maker's flagship, the OnePlus 3. Under the hood, the new variant features a newer Snapdragon 821 processor, paired with 6 GB of RAM. Other specs and features include a 3,400 mAh battery, an improved 16-MP setup for both its main camera and selfie shooter, and 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display with full HD resolution.

The launch of the OnePlus 3T is surprising news, since it has only been months since OnePlus released the original OnePlus 3. Speculations suggest that the tech maker is making the new variant of the unofficial "OnePlus 4," since the number four is said to be bad luck for some regions in Asia. OnePlus will then follow up the new flagship with the OnePlus 5 next year.
