Days after confirming the [1]OnePlus 5T[2] name and revealing its existence along with a 3.5mm audio jack, OnePlus[3] has finally teased the place where it is set to launch the smartphone, besides pointing to the smartphone's dimensions. The upcoming smartphone is also being speculated to look identical to the Oppo R11s that was launched last week[4], and a benchmark listing reveals the presence of an 18:9 aspect ratio featuring display.
OnePlus on Sunday tweeted, "Guess which city we're going to party in for the #OnePlus5T launch!

All this points to the New York City launch of the new OnePlus smartphone.
With the latest attempt to grab some eyeballs in New York City, OnePlus is following in the footsteps of giants like Samsung[6] and Sony[7] that had showcased their top-end offerings in the same city in the past. Moreover, the new launch plan suggests that the Shenzhen-based company might have some announcements specific to its US audience.
