The OnePlus 3 launch is just around the corner and the phone is highly anticipated. While many have put a lot of faith and trust in OnePlus and expect a fantastic phone, many are waiting for the company to reveal the handset before commenting.
OnePlus has filed a patent for a technology called “Dash Charge” while little is known about the tech, many assume that the name suggests a fast charging technology. Something that was missing in the OnePlus 2 and was considered unacceptable by many.
Other reports are mentioning two models of the OnePlus 3 one with 4GB of RAM + 32GB of storage and one with 6GB of RAM + 64GB of storage. A price of CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,400) is quoted for the base model of the OnePlus pointing towards a roughly Rs. 24000-25000 launch price in markets like India. It was earlier reported that OnePlus 3 will be launched in three variants. Other specs leaked also point towards a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset with the Adreno 530 GPU.

Strange as it seems the 3GB + 32GB will cost US$ 354 whereas the 6GB + 64GB variant will cost US$ 384, well worth the additional if you ask us.
Leaks are also mentioning a quick charge feature, which details a 5-minute charge capable of giving 2 hours of phone calls. Android 6 with OnePlus’ new OS Hydrogen is expected to come pre loaded.
OnePlus’s is unsure of when it wants to announce the phone, so it’s either May 18th or May 28th for the launch and sales should begin soon after.
