Now Qualcomm has now sent a tweet from its Twitter account saying "Something from @OnePlus is on the way...and it's powered by our #Snapdragon 821 processor. Stay tuned".

This will mean that it is going to head for the OnePlus 3T instead, which will not only make it faster but also Daydream ready.

It's likely the new phone will just be a processor update rather than a completely new device, as the OnePlus 3 already has flagship-matching specs. In theory, the launch date would be 14 November which would make the OnePlus 3T available just in time for Christmas and the perfect partner to a Google Daydream VR headset.
