We are just a few days away from the
global launch
of the OnePlus 5, the Chinese smartphone maker’s latest flagship. With the launch so close, it indeed makes sense to pull out stocks of the older model and replace them with the new. Turns out, OnePlus has done just this for the US and European markets. After informing customers via a
post
on its official forums, that this is indeed the ’last chance’ to buy the OnePlus 3T flagship, a
report
now points out that the OnePlus 3T is now officially ‘out of stock’ in a number of markets in Europe and in the US. A report by Gizbot indicates that stores in the US and in Europe have taken down the ‘Buy Now’ button. Users visiting the OnePlus website for now can only check out the OnePlus 3T’s features. That global launch is set to take place on 20 June. OnePlus is expected to announce its all new OnePlus 5 smartphone, one that is more powerful both in terms of performance and image capturing capabilities and comes with an all new-design. While the models of the
OnePlus 3T
are now out of stock in the US and European markets, fans in India can still buy the flagship handset. OnePlus recently revealed that it would continue to sell the outgoing OnePlus flagship until later this year in India. In an official statement, OnePlus
told
Gadgets360, “The
OnePlus 3T
(64 GB, 128 GB) will continue to be available for purchase in India until later this year. OnePlus products and accessories are available through three official sales channels, including oneplustore.in, Amazon.in, and the OnePlus Experience Store in Bengaluru,” [caption id=“attachment_380943” align=“aligncenter” width=“640”]
