UPDATE: As expected, Amazon realized their mistake and removed the page. But luckily, we have all we need including the full specs list. 

It looks like someone over at Amazon India was just fed up of the hundreds of OnePlus 3 leaks that we have been seeing online as the dedicated page for the OnePlus 3 is already live on the online retailer, revealing practically everything about the smartphone including the rumored Dash Charging tech, a few hours before the official global launch.

First of all, the listing confirms that the OnePlus 3 features a unibody design, carved out of a single slab of aluminum. The company is also calling it ultra-thin as it measures just 7.35mm. In fact, we have the full measurements, 152.7 x 74.7 x 7.35mm. The phone will weigh 158 grams, which is pretty good, considering its metal built. You get bottom facing speakers and dual noise cancellation microphones.

As for the display, the OnePlus 3 will sport a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p Optic AMOLED display and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Under the hood, like expected, the OnePlus 3 comes with a quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset with 6GB of RAM on board. We haven’t seen the listing for the 4GB RAM version, but we expect most of the details to be the same as this version. There will be 64GB of internal storage which is going to be fast, since its UFS 2.0. There doesn’t seem to be a MicroSD card slot on board.

At the back, the OnePlus 3 will come with a 16MP camera with two image stabilizations, namely OIS and EIS to make sure that the photos and videos come out blur free. This is a Sony IMX298 sensor with 1.12um pixel size and f/2.0 aperture lens. The phone supports PDAF and can take 4K videos at 30 fps and slo-mo videos at 720p @ 120fps. Further, the phone also supports RAW images and manual controls. Up front, it will feature a f/2.0 8MP camera.

We had talked about the fast charging feature of the OnePlus 3 in our previous articles. Now, we know that the OnePlus 3 will come with Dash Charge which the company claims is faster, safer and cooler way of charging the 3000mAh battery inside. The listing states that the phone will charge to 60% in just 30 minutes at a maximum wattage of 5V 4A.

Another important feature, that seems to make a comeback in this device is the NFC. So, unlike previous rumors, the phone does come with NFC enabled. Further, you get Cat. 6 4G LTE networks, Bluetooth 4.2, dual band Wi-Fi ac, GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou. Other additional features include a fingerprint sensor embedded into the front facing home button, RGB LED notification light and an alert slider located on the left side of the device. You also get USB Type-C port as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. As for the software, the OnePlus 3 runs on OxygenOS based on Android 6.1. There also seems to be some enhancements in the music department, as the listing reveals something about OnePlus Music and Dirac technology.

Finally, there will be three models available for the OnePlus 3 — North American, Chinese and Europe/ Asia with different LTE band support. As for the pricing, we know that the OnePlus 3 6GB RAM model will be priced at INR 27,999 in India ($416).

So, there are only a few things left to know about the handset right now like the pricing of the 4GB model in India as well as the pricing of both the variants internationally as well as in China.

Oneplus 3 Specs list!

So, what do you think about the new OnePlus 3? Impressed?

The official launch event is just a few hours away. So stay tuned for some more details in the next few hours.

The post OnePlus 3’s Listing On Amazon India Confirms Entire Specs & Pricing Before Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus 3 is coming and the launch is today! It is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2016, and we have been hearing about this particular flagship for the past few months. In fact, as the launch is coming near, we have a very good idea as to what to expect from the new flagship, thanks to the various leaked renders, real life images and TENAA listings. So, let’s take a look at the expected features, specs, pricing and other details of the upcoming OnePlus 3.

OnePlus 3 Design:

OnePlus One was a pretty good looking device and so was the OnePlus 2. Then late last year, the company released the OnePlus X with glass body and premium design for the mid-range market, taking the design to a new level. So, the company has pretty big shoes to fill with the OnePlus 3. Everyone is expecting a new design and something that will look premium and will be good to hold.

And from the renders we have seen lately, the company seems to have followed the same route as most other smartphone makers, using an all metal body on the new OnePlus 3. From the front, the design has a very similar appearance as the OnePlus 2, which is not really a bad thing since we loved OP2’s design. However, at the back, the OnePlus 3 seems to have taken inspiration from HTC One M9. Now, for most, this is a pretty good design, with visible antenna lines and a large sensor. But in my personal opinion, OnePlus could have done much better, as this design will always remind us of the good old HTC flagship. Nevertheless, the design looks polished and if you are able to get over the HTC feel, the overall design is good enough for a premium flagship smartphone.

OnePlus 3 Specs:

We have heard about the specs of the OnePlus 3 from so many sources in the past few months. Luckily, most of them, paint a very similar picture. The flagship phone will come with the mighty Snapdragon 820 quad-core chipset inside, which shouldn’t be surprising that most of the powerful flagships of 2016 are currently powered by this Qualcomm chip. As for the display, you should find a 5.5-inch 1080p panel on the device.

Coming to the memory, our own sources have revealed that the OnePlus 3 will come in two variants, one with 4GB RAM + 32GB of storage and another with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. But we believe there could be two other variants, namely 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB + 128GB storage. So, in all, there could be four different variants of the device. Recent rumors also seem to conform to these specs, so it’s likely that we will see these four variants at launch.

From the reports we have seen in the past as well as the phone’s TENAA listing, the OnePlus 3 should come with a 16MP sensor at the back. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a laser focus in the renders before, so we aren’t sure whether it will make it to the device this year. Also, details about the sensor inside have been scarce till now.

But don’t be disappointed, we have seen a lot of camera samples from the OnePlus 3 in the past one month, to give us a good idea of the sensor’s capability. And from what we can see, the phone has managed to capture some pretty good images. Low light photos also have been decent. All the camera samples from the OnePlus 3 are added below.

We also have seen a couple of samples from the phone’s front camera. It should be an 8MP shooter. You can check out those images from down below.

As for the software, the OnePlus 3 international model should come with OxygenOS 3.0 based on Android Marshmallow while the Chinese variant should feature HydrogenOS based on the same Android version. The phone’s battery is said to be 3000mAh which is decent, but we should either see Quick Charge 3.0 or OPPO’s VOOC fast charging tech inside, which should speed up the process of charging the phone to 100%. There have been rumors about the company’s own Dash charge tech as well, but nothing is confirmed so far.

Like the OnePlus 2, the new OnePlus 3 handset should come with a fingerprint sensor incorporated in the home button placed right up front. We hope the company has improved the sensor inside, as there were a few reports about fingerprint sensor related issues with the previous generation OP2.

The phone should get standard connectivity features such as dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G LTE support, dual-SIM card slots, and even NFC. However, there was a new report which said that OP3 won’t feature NFC, but we can’t be sure of that.

OnePlus 3 Pricing:

Our sources have revealed that the OnePlus 3 should start at 1999 Yuan which is just $306. This will be for the 4GB RAM version, and the 6GB RAM version should retail somewhere around $380. While we are yet to confirm these figures, earlier today, an advertisement, which was most likely posted by mistake in a daily newspaper in India kind of confirmed the 6GB RAM pricing of the OnePlus 3, at least in India. The phone will retail for 27999 INR which comes to $416. So, we expect the official price for the 6GB RAM model should be more or less around this figure, which would be great. Now, some of you may argue that there’s the 6GB RAM smartphone, Le Max 2 that retail for less than $400. But considering that OnePlus is sold internationally in almost all major markets, if the pricing is anywhere close to the above-mentioned figure, it would be great.

OnePlus 3 Availability:

This time around, OnePlus has decided to ditch the boring old invite system. So, fans can purchase the device from the moment of announcement. In fact, the company has even revealed when the OnePlus 3 will go on sale in different time zones. Here’s the list.

Open sales will start at:
June 14 15:00 EDT New York time
June 14 12:00 PDT San Francisco time
June 14 20:00 BST London Time
June 15 03:00 HKT Hongkong Time
June 15 12:30 IST New Delhi Time

Finally, for all those who want to watch the event, which is going to start in around four hours from now, can check out this article. It contains the event start times in different time zones as well as a few other details about the launch of the OnePlus 3.

We have just 4 days to the launch of the OnePlus 3 and CEO Pete Lau aka Liu Zuohu has decided to whet our appetite by posting a night shot of the OnePlus 3. We’ve been getting a steady stream of camera samples of the OnePlus 3 and this is probably not going to be the last.

The picture is an outdoor one of a fireworks show and it does look impressive. The color reproduction is good,  noise reduction is great, and we can see the blacks are well reproduced.

The OnePlus 3 is going to sport a 5.5″ FHD screen; 4GB or 6GB of RAM and possibly multiple ROM configurations (32GB, 64GB, and 128GB); a Snapdragon 820 processor; 16MP rear camera capable of shooting in 4k and 8MP for selfies; NFC, fingerprint scanner; and a 3000mAh battery. Pricing is said to start at 1999 Yuan.

OnePlus has a tradition of hyping its flagship device before launch. This year is no exception, with the company promoting the upcoming OnePlus 3 in full spirit. We know that the OnePlus 3 will have several pop-up events in major cities around the world wherein you can purchase the device. We also know that the phone went for sale in limited quantities in China (shipping on June 15) for $450. Well, hardly anyone got hold of the unit in China since it was reportedly sold out in a second.

We also have seen a few camera samples taken by the company CEO. But now, OnePlus’s official twitter account has shared some wonderful images taken from the OnePlus 3. From the images, it looks like the phone’s been travelling, which is good, because we get to see some great shots from the device. Unfortunately, they aren’t full size, so we can’t judge the real quality until we get the original samples. However, from what we can see, the pictures have very good amount of detail and the color reproduction is good as well. We also saw an image of night time firework, which reveals good amount of light and hardly any noise. Check out the four samples from down below.

The phone is expected to come with a 16MP sensor at the back and an 8MP shooter up front. Not much details about the device’s camera are available yet, but the official announcement on June 14 should confirm additional details about the sensor inside.

We are just a few days away from the official launch of the OnePlus 3 flagship. The company is already hyping the device, even selling limited 1000 units of the new device earlier today for 2999 Yuan ($456) in China. Unsurprisingly, the limited units were reportedly sold out in a just a matter of a second. Now, the next option for fans is to wait for the official launch of the device, on June 14 (June 15 in China). The company has confirmed that the phone will go on sale the very next day in China (i.e. June 16). And guess what, the company is said to have stocked millions of units for the sale day. The CEO also reaffirmed today that the stock will be adequate.

OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 had very good cameras, so we naturally expect the new generation OnePlus 3 to keep up the tradition of coming with a powerful rear snapper. From the previous TENAA listing, we saw that the phone came with a 16MP sensor at the back. We have also seen a couple of camera samples revealed directly from the company’s CEO. Now, CEO Pete Lau has just revealed three more pictures taken from the OnePlus 3 and they all look quite good. You can check them out from down below. The color reproduction looks really good, and there’s a good amount of detail as well. What do you think?

For the first time, OnePlus is going to release a phone with a metal body. TENAA pictures as well as earlier leaks have pretty much confirmed the metal design on the device. As for the specs, the phone is expected to come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, powered by the mighty Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor. For memory, you can expect 4GB /6GB RAM versions with 64GB of inbuilt storage. At the back, the phone is said to come with a 16MP camera while up front you will find an 8MP shooter. The battery is going to be of decent capacity — 3000mAh but the highlight is most likely going to be the VOOC fast charging technology (still unconfirmed). As for software, the phone should run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based on OxygenOS (HydrogenOS in China).

As the release is nearing, expect more details about the phone soon.

Meanwhile, you can check out the camera samples revealed by the CEO a few days back from down below.

Evleaks gave us a first good look at the OnePlus 3 flagship smartphone a few days back. To be honest, it looked like the design was inspired by HTC. Now, OnePlus 3 has just passed through the Chinese TENAA certification website and guess what, the design we saw back then is almost confirmed today. TENAA reveals that the new OnePlus flagship will be going with the market trend by using an all metal design, a first for the company. Up front, the phone will feature 2.5D glass.

Design wise, the OnePlus 3 has a bit of an HTC feel, but overall the looks are not bad at all. You have a large camera sensor on the top center of the back panel, which for your information is protruding. Then, there’s a single LED flash and no laser focus, which is really surprising given that the OnePlus 2 had this tech. The black antenna bars are a significant part of the design and lies on top as well as near the bottom of the metal back panel.

Coming to the specs, TENAA confirms that the OnePlus 3 will feature a 2.15GHz quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There’s no information about a 6GB RAM version, which we had heard about before. At the back, the phone comes with a 16MP camera while up front, there is an 8MP shooter. The screen size is also confirmed. It will sport a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution. OnePlus 3 is quite thin as well and will measure just 7.3mm in thickness. In this body, the company has fitted a 3000mAh battery. This should be enough since previous 3C certification of the device had revealed that the phone could feature OPPO’s VOOC low voltage fast charging. The phone also supports dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE.

While this particular model that hit TENAA was running on Android 6.0.1, it is said that the phone should be getting Android N version after it is officially released by the company.

Since the design of the OnePlus 3 is basically confirmed, what are your final thoughts about it?

Fans have been waiting patiently for OnePlus to unveil the new OnePlus 3 flagship for the past few months. While the company has been revealing more details about the new flagship model, it is yet to announce a release date for the device. But now, thanks to a conversation screenshot between a Oneplus fan and a company representative, we might have a final date.

When the fan asked the question, when was the OnePlus 3 launch, the representative answered that the OnePlus 3 will be unveiled on June 14, which is a Tuesday, through the company’s VR experience. In case you missed, CEO Carl Pei had already revealed that OnePlus 3 launch would be the first global VR shopping experience, wherein users can purchase the device during the launch in virtual reality. You can read more about the VR launch from here.

According to the latest information, the OnePlus 3 flagship will come with a 5.5-inch 1080p display with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 64GB ROM and a 16MP rear camera. What’s more interesting is that the same leak revealed the new OnePlus model was running on the Android N preview build, which kind of hints that the phone will run on the new OS once Google announces it officially. Also, the leak said that NFC will make a return!

There are two memory variants expected, one with 4GB RAM + 32GB storage and another with 6GB RAM + 64GB storage. Pricing is expected to start at just $310, with the 6GB RAM version costing around $385. The company is yet to confirm these details, but most rumors have given prices close to this figure.

OnePlus 3 is expected to be unveiled sometime early June, and the company has already starting hyping the device before its launch. We know that the company will continue the tradition of launching its smartphone in VR, as the OP3 will be unveiled in the company’s virtual space station called the Loop. Now, the CEO of OnePlus, Liu Zuohu aka Pete Lau has given us a first picture taken by the OnePlus 3 flagship.

The picture is taken from the front camera of the phone, which should be an 8MP sensor. While we can’t be sure of the lighting conditions when the photo was taken, it looks like the camera has done a decent job of capturing even the dark areas. But we would have liked the image to be clearer.

The company seems to have adopted a new sales strategy this year. For example, the OnePlus 3 launch will include the world’s first VR shopping experience, which allows viewers to purchase the device before anyone else when in virtual reality. So, it looks like OnePlus is finally ditching the invite system for good. The company also gave away 30,000 Loop VR headsets to its fans worldwide yesterday which can be used to watch the event. But the event can be viewed with any standard VR headset.
