OnePlus is officially going to announce the new OnePlus 3 flagship later today internationally via the Loop VR app. While we all are excitedly waiting for the new handset to be unveiled, more images of the OnePlus 3 flagship have just been leaked out on Weibo. It looks like until the phone is official, such leaks would make it to us.

Given that we have seen the handset in real life in the past couple of weeks, the new leak actually offers us not much in addition to what we already know. However, the OnePlus 3 model leaked today seems to be the international model as it runs on the OxygenOS 3.0 version based on Android 6.0.1. The OnePlus 3 models in China run on Hydrogen OS. Other than that, we can see that this is the black version, with HTC like back design and an oval front facing fingerprint. If you remember, yesterday, we had seen the silver variant of the device. Anyway, check out the newly leaked images from down below.

OnePlus will be unveiling the device today, so it’s just a matter of a few hours until we get official details. In case you are confused about the timing of the launch event in your local time zone and from where to watch it, check out this article, wherein we have compiled the launch times in international time zones as well as the link to the Loop VR app.

OnePlus 3 specs are going to be quite powerful, including Snapdragon 820 and 4GB  / 6GB RAM options. Pricing is said to start at 1999 Yuan which comes to nearly $305, which would be aggressive. But these are rumored figures and the official prices will be confirmed later today. Stay tuned for details.

OnePlus doesn’t want you to stop thinking about the upcoming OnePlus 3, so they’ve been regularly dropping bits and pieces about it. And I’m sure we are going to keep getting them till the 15th of June.

This time around what we have for you are live images of the OnePlus 3 (OP3) . The version in the picture is grey and appears to be wearing a transparent case compared to the black version spotted last month. We can also see that the OnePlus logo is missing, so this is most likely one of the prototypes running around. Thinking about it now, it’s possible for people to have seen the phone in public but not know it’s the OP3 since it’s not wearing their trademark logo. Plus, the design looks quite familiar, so you might not have taken it for a new OnePlus device. 

The OnePlus 3 will be sporting a 5.5″ AMOLED FHD screen, Snapdragon 820, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 3000mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner. It will also bring back NFC support which was removed on the OP2 and ditching the invite system.

Pricing is still not known yet but OnePlus offered 1000 units for sale today at 2999 Yuan ($450) per unit. However, if the final price turns out to be less, buyers should expect a refund. More details on the sale here.

Also, in case you missed, here are some camera samples from the new flagship.

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?

OnePlus 3 is rumoured to release later this month, and naturally, there are a lot of rumours and leaks about the device coming up online everyday. Recently, we saw a couple of images of the OnePlus 3 online and now, a whole new batch of the same phone has been leaked, revealing the design in all its glory. Could this be the final version of the OnePlus 3? We can’t be sure of that, but let’s take a closer look at this design.

There’s no denying the fact that the phone has an HTC look to it. The top is similar to the design of the HTC M7 with the antenna lines placed almost in the same fashion as the old HTC flagship. The design isn’t the best we have seen, with a squarish camera sensor which protrudes from the body. The front has a different look to it and this time, it looks like the company has taken some design inspiration from Meizu. The oval physical home button is almost the same as the ones we have seen in the Meizu’s blue charm series. Considering that there is no fingerprint sensor at the back, we can expect the sensor to be embedded in the front placed home button.

The new leaked images also show off the bottom of the OnePlus 3. The phone will have all the slots down there, including 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C. Also, we can see a speaker grill as well as microphone opening at the bottom. The top seems to be clean. Only one side of the phone has been revealed in the images, and there seems to be a toggle switch there. The volume and the power buttons should be located on the opposite side. From the looks of the device in these pictures, it seems to be an engineering prototype. So, despite multiple leaks with the same design, we can’t be sure this will be the final design of the OnePlus 3.

We have already seen the specs of the OnePlus 3 flagship in detail, thanks to the previous leaks. You can read more about them from here.

OnePlus 3 is rumored to be announced around May 18 of this month and released sometime early June. However, as of now, the Chinese smartphone maker has not yet revealed any details of an official event around the above-mentioned date. Now, several alleged pictures of the OnePlus 3 have surfaced online, giving us a first good look at the device.

From the front, the OnePlus 3 seems to have retained the basic shape as the OnePlus 2. However, when you come to the part below the display, things look too familiar. The fingerprint sensor embedded (most likely) home button looks like it’s taken directly from Meizu. Don’t agree with us? Check out the image of the Pro 6’s home button down below and you would notice the similarity.

Coming to the back, the top design looks like inspired by HTC’s earlier One series models. The lines on the top and the bottom are  similar to the ones on the HTC One M9. So, overall, the OnePlus 3 leaked today looks like a combination of HTC and Meizu.

As for the specs, the OnePlus 3 is expected to come with the Snapdragon 820 quad-core chipset in two memory variants, 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM and 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM. At the back, the phone is expected to come with 16MP rear camera and up front, an 8MP selfie shooter. The camera is supposed to take excellent bokeh effect images, an example of which we saw via the company CEO recently. Other possible specs of the phone include 3500mAh battery, OPPO’s 5V 4A low voltage fast charge, and Android 6.0 with Hydrogen OS 2.0.
