OnePlus is said to unveil its new smartphone next month but, no exact launch date has been revealed. However, according to new information from a OnePlus live chat agent revealed that the new smartphone will be launched on June 14, using the Loop VR. As per the company, the event will be 'beamed from the future', with the OnePlus offices relocated to an orbital space station.
Based on leaks, the OnePlus 3 will have a new design, something different from standard current-generation flagship smartphones. It will offer a slim design with metal frames around the side. Reports claim that OnePlus 3 may ditch the fingerprint scanner in favour of an iris scanner, while another leak suggests that the device might include a physical home button which could double up as a fingerprint reader too. You can surely expect a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack as well.
Similar to the OnePlus 2, the new flagship killer will sport a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. It is rumored that the company could unveil a 5-inch variant too. Previous benchmark listings have hinted at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with either 4GB or 6GB RAM. The device will most likely pack in Adreno 530 GPU. The smartphone will be available in either 32GB or 64GB storage variants. The company could surprise us by introducing a 128GB storage variant too.
The OnePlus 2 was shipped with Android Lollipop with the company’s OxygenOS on top. For the new OnePlus 3, the company will most likely offer a new Android Marshmallow version based on the company UI. Basically, the smartphone will run Android 6.0.1-based OxygenOS 3.0. The device is also said to sport a 16MP rear camera along with an 8MP front facing camera. We can expect OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) and 4K video recording as well.
According to rumours, the OnePlus 3 will sport a 300mAh or a 3500mAh battery capacity. Additionally, the smartphone is said to feature Dash Charge, a home-brewed technology that could challenge Oppo's VOOC and Qualcomm's Quick Charge. The OnePlus 2 included a 3300mAh battery.
