1 + 3 or ( One Plus Three arriving soon )

OnePlus 2OnePlus provided one of the most interesting phones of 2014 in the OnePlus One, and two of the most interesting phones of 2015 in the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X.The Chinese brand turns out well-built, well-specced Android phones with one of the most beloved Android UI customization around – all for around half the price of your average flagship phone.It is expected that the same basic combination of price and performance from the OnePlus 3, although obviously scaled up to meet the sky-high standards set out by the Samsung Galaxy S6, HTC 10 and others.

Specific details concerning the OnePlus 3 have been hard to come by up until recently, but rumours and alleged leaks have begun to appear. Rumours about the device include an upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a new metallic design, and a Snapdragon 820 mobile processor. Following are some specs from trustedrevies.com

  • Model number: A3000
  • Android 6.0.1
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor
  • Adreno 530 GPU
  • 4GB RAM
  • 32GB storage
  • Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixel display
  • 16-megapixel rear-facing camera
  • 8-megapixel front-facing camera

However, a separate leak from Winfuture, citing specs revealed on Geekbench, suggest the handset willl actually feature 6GB of RAM, not 4GB. That’s class-leading by today’s standards, although we’re not sure if that much RAM is really necessary. Of course, both could be the case. The OnePlus 2 came in both 3GB and 4GB iterations, for example.

It was also heard that the handset could price at 1,999 Yuan in China, which translates to around £210/ 16000 INR – not bad, if it’s true. In any case, there’s plenty more to expect from the OnePlus 3, so read on for all the latest on the next OnePlus phone

Invitation

Invitation system in the last, and it’s an important point to bear in mind.Since the launch of its very first phone, OnePlus has forced would-be customers through an egregious invite-only purchase system. Naturally, OnePlus fans are keen for the firm to drop the strategy with the next phone, but how likely is it? You can probably count on seeing the invite-only system once again. OnePlus maintains that it helps the firm control stock levels, which is the only way the brand can stay in business. It’s also not a bad tactic for generating hype.

oneplus 3Fortunately, there is a small upside to all of this. OnePlus has shown that it does eventually make its phones freely available for purchase. What’s more, the time between day of release and invite-free availability has decreased with each handset. As such, we’d expect the OnePlus 3 to become available for anyone to purchase after not too long.

Awaiting for the phone to hit the markets and have an experience over.
