Just a day after OnePlus confirmed the official launch date for their upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 3, the company informs users that it will hold a flash sale for the new smartphone on June 6, one week before its official launch date, which is June 14.
According to a report by AndroidWorld, OnePlus will sell 1,000 OnePlus 3 handsets on its Chinese website for a price of ¥2999 (approximately Rs 30,650). However, there is no clarity on whether the device will officially launch with this price tag.
The company also says that it will refund the difference once the final price is announced. If the device turns out to be more than ¥2999, users will have to pay the difference. However, the devices will be shipped on the day of announcement itself. If consumers are not happy with the price difference, they can exit the deal within seven working days.
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.
