A few weeks ago, we reported that OnePlus could discontinue the 128GB variant of its OnePlus 3T smartphone, but the Chinese company later revealed that the phone was simply out of stock and more units should arrive soon.

Now, the Chinese company has confirmed in a report that OnePlus 3T will be discontinued in Europe starting June 1. The device will simply be out of stock in the UK and the rest of European countries starting the first day of summer and no more units will be made available for purchase.

In a blog post from earlier today, OnePlus stated, “This is the last call to buy the OnePlus 3T before stock runs out. Only a few devices are left in our warehouse, so purchase yours before time runs out at onepl.us/3T.”

OnePlus will continue to roll out updates to OnePlus 3T phones

Although the smartphone will be discontinued, OnePlus is still expected to continue providing timely updates for the device, as well as for the OnePlus 3, which is slightly older than the OnePlus 3T.

The move comes as the Chinese smartphone maker is preparing to announce its latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 5. Some specs of the upcoming phone were already confirmed, including the fact that it will run Qualcomm’s latest platform, the Snapdragon 835.

In addition, OnePlus partnered with DxOMark to equip the yet unconfirmed dual-lens setup on the back of the OnePlus 5 with features that would secure a spot at the top of the DxOMark scale of smartphones with best cameras. Aside from this, OnePlus 5 is expected to come with 6GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch Full HD resolution.

OnePlus has also confirmed that it will provide the new phone with faster loading times for apps and improved touch latency. Moreover, the new OxygenOS version will allow users to better manage the way apps perform on the phone and rarely used apps will be prevented from affecting the device’s performance. OnePlus 5 could be announced in June or July.
