OnePlus 3T is already shipping in the United States, but customers in Europe had to wait one more week to be able to get their hands on the high-end smartphone.

For those unaware, OnePlus announced the 3T would be launched in Europe on November 28 and customers would be able to buy it for €439 (64GB model) and €479 (128GB model), respectively.

Unfortunately, the smartphone if well overpriced in the UK where O2 is the exclusive carrier to offer the smartphone. O2 UK sells the 64GB OnePlus 3T for £417.99, while the 128GB option is available for £456 outright.

There's another option for those who want to pay slightly less, as OnePlus offers the phone through its online store for £399 (64GB variant) or £439 (128GB variant), respectively.

Despite the higher than usual price, fans have been lining up early in the morning at O2 UK stores to be among the first to purchase the OnePlus 3T.

Impressive crowds of more than 100 people were spotted at O2 UK stores, which somewhat confirms the success of the flagship.

The OnePlus 3T is an incremental upgrade of the previous OnePlus 3 model, and comes with some decent improvements under the hood.

Although the phone has been packed with a slightly larger 3,400 mAh battery, it kept the same size and weight as the OnePlus 3.

Also, the OnePlus 3T is equipped with a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor inside, though it comes with a similar amount of RAM, 6GB.

However, this time customers can choose to grab the 128GB storage model, which is not available for the OnePlus 3.

Another major improvement over the previous model is the impressive 16-megapixel camera in the front. The 16-megapixel rear-facing camera on the back now features sapphire glass for better protection.

Although OnePlus 3T ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box, the Chinese company promised an Android 7.0 Nougat update would be available by the end of the year.
