The OnePlus 3T is now available to buy in India, with the 64GB inbuilt storage model priced at Rs. 29,999, and the 128GB storage model priced at Rs. 34,999. The new OnePlus 3T smartphone is available from 12:01am IST from Wednesday via exclusive online retailer partner - Amazon India.
While both OnePlus 3T storage variants were launched globally in Gunmetal and Soft Gold variants, the company specified at the time of the India launch that the 128GB variant will only be available in the Gunmetal colour variant in India. The Soft Gold OnePlus 3T variant of the 64GB model will be made available at a later date.
To refresh, the OnePlus 3T has minor upgrades over its predecessor, the OnePlus 3 (Review). OnePlus earlier confirmed to Gadgets 360 that it will "continue to sell the OnePlus 3 in India," which means both smartphones may be available in the market.
