The smartphone is powered by 

Qualcomm's newest chipset -- Snapdragon 821. This is complemented by 6GB of RAM, in line with wide speculations.

OnePlus 3T has a 16MP primary camera with a Sony IMX298 sensor and LED flash. The camera is capable of recording 4K video, as well as slo-mo (120fps) videos in HD resolution. It boasts of features like Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization and Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF).
