At the end of February 2016, OnePlus CEO Carl Pei revealed the company would launch it's latest tech offering by the end of the Second Quarter of 2016 ie.., Betweeen April and June of this year.
June, Has just started and we are all buzzing with news on the OnePlus 3, Infact they dropped a mail last night confirming the lauch on the 14th of June, 2016.
A lot of Info about the new OnePlus 3 is doing the rounds, Here is a one-stop knowledge base for everything we know about the OnePlus 3, Includes Rumours, Leaks and other stuff. Solid!
Design:
If you've spend considerable time on the Social networking sites, I'm sure you must have come across this. The initial renders showed us that OnePlus ditched it's trademark Sandstone back for a more sturdy material, All this was true. Now, It's confirmed. It's METALLLLLLLLLLLLL! Okay. Let me sober up. OnePlus is going the HTC way and looks on road to be making a One chunk metal UniBody design. The initial renders showed it to be something like the HTC's M series phones. If metal is gracefully used, It's the best you can ask for.
RAM:
Probably, This is the other one that's doing the rounds. OnePlus 3 is rumored to have 6GB OF RAM. I repeat, 6GB. Well, The discussion of whether this is needed or not can be done some other day. Which speculations are adrift that there will be two models, One with a standard 3 GB RAM and the other with 6 Gigs, The fact remains that there is every possibility of this being true, Only time will tell. Frankly, I feel 6GB RAM is an unnecessary luxury.
Processor:
This one was quite easy, OnePlus has always gone one with what the best of Qualcomm has had to offer, This time around it's the Snapdragon 820 SOC on board the OnePlus 3. It's not *really* confirmed, But that's not hard to guess either. No more fuss on this.
OS:
This one too has had it's share of speculations with screenshots and leaked images showing the OnePlus 3 running on preview versions of Android N with a skin on it. But let's be practical on this, No one in their right sense of the mind would release a phone running on preview builds. So it'sbe safe to say that, out of the box OnePlus 3 will be running Oxygen OS 3.0 up-top Android Marsh mellow 6.0 and needless to say, will receive the N update as soon as possible.
Camera(s):
Camera's haven't been OnePlus's strongest game, They've played it safe most of the times, This time around they seem to have dumped in a 16MP rear shooter and an 8MP front camera, Sufficient for toooo many selfies. Also, Renders show that there will be a camera bump on the back. Not necessarily a negative though. That aside, It should be a decent camera.
Internal Memory:
ATLAST. 16 GB Internal storage model will DIE. RIP. *Maintains only one minute of silence*
Okay, So the minimum internal storage version will be 32 GB and a higher one with 64 GB on board storage, Also the SD card tray from the OnePlus X is going to be in here! So it's safe to say, The storage department is clean as you like it.
Invites:
Are you planning to buy the OnePlus 3? DO YOU HAVE AN INVITE? You won't hear those lines anymore. YOU DON'T NEED AN INVITE. OnePlus has decided to ditch invites. It's Invite Free now. OnePlus has grown up. :')
Pricing:
If the two variant/model game is anything to go by, Two variants at $300 and $360 should be the gameplan. Well, This is one department you really can't play guesses, Better we wait and watch.
I hope you found this useful, spread the love, Share this article. So, Keeping watching this space as i'll be updating it with all the new additions when they happen. So stay tuned, 10 PM IST 14th June 2016. The OnePlus 3 is coming! Also, Don't forget to share this, Thank you. :)
