One of the bestselling phones in the market, the OnePlus 3T, sees its first price cut and is now available with cashback offers, which doesn’t come as a surprise to many, considering the next flagship from OnePlus, the OnePlus 5 launch is right around the corner.

The OnePlus 3T is now available for Rs 28,500 after a Rs 1500 discount.

The OnePlus 3T, at an original price tag of Rs 29,999, is a good bargain. Therefore, a price drop for a phone that’s already a hot selling product does raise some suspicion. This could probably be a ploy to clear the 3T stock before the OnePlus 5 hits the market. So the question to ask is, should you buy the OnePlus 3T right now or wait for the OnePlus 5?

For the ones looking to make the most of this discount offer and just can’t wait for the the OnePlus flagship, we say go for it! You are getting a great smartphone at a cheaper price. The OnePlus 3T comes with a powerful combination of a Snapdragon 821 and 6GB RAM. Do you really need more than that right now? Maybe not right now.

I Already Bought the 3T

Already purchased the 3T? No need to regret it. Sure you paid the full 30k for the 3T, but there is nothing to feel bad about, even with the discounts going on. As said before, the Rs 29,999 price tag makes the phone a great bargain. Considering the specs of this phone, it is not going obsolete anytime soon, so don’t worry about upgrading. If you still feel the need for more power and want to move along with the trend, then you always have the option to buy the more powerful OnePlus 5 when it’s launched.

I Am the Patient 'One'

This, according to us, is the category with the most patient candidates. Rumours suggest that the OnePlus 5 will be launched in a couple of weeks from now, and to wait even that long is frustrating. It’s being said that the phone will be priced under Rs 30,000, and if that true, then our heart goes balle balle. The OnePlus 5 is said to sport a dual-camera setup and the latest Snapdragon 835 processor which makes it the phone to buy.
