We are still coming on terms with OnePlus 3T, and are still on the lookout for its spec and proper release date, but rumors have already begun surfacing about the OnePlus 4, tipped for release in August 2017.

FYI, the OnePlus 3 was released by the OnePlus team back in June, so August release is kind of delayed release for the 2017 flagship. As for the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus One, they were released in August 2015 and June 2014 respectively.

So, the August release in not a completely uncharted territory for the company, but the slight delay when compared to June release of OnePlus 3 is understandable when you think about the OnePlus 3T, which is scheduled to release in December with improved specs.

It also let people interested in buying the OnePlus 3T feel a bit secured knowing that the next OnePlus One flagship won’t release until August, so their OnePlus 3T will be completely new until that. If there is a new device coming in June, that overshadows the OnePlus 3T’s release by great proportion.

So, if you are planning to buy a new device in 2017, a super-phone, kind-of, then you know when OnePlus 4 is expected to hit the market. And given OnePlus One’s history and its latest killer in OnePlus 3, you would definitely want to hold on buying before checking out the OnePlus 4 in full.
