We’ve already seen a couple Chinese phone makers in Xiaomi and Letv (LeEco) dish out Snapdragon 820 phones, and OnePlus might just be the next with the OnePlus 3.
However, a much larger section of the international audience should be able to get their hands on the OnePlus 3 as compared to the Xiaomi Mi 5 or the Le Max Pro.
Coming to the subject of this article: OnePlus 3 specifications, which leaked thanks to AnTuTu (which is a popular benchmarking app, if you aren’t aware). Here’s what the listing has to tell us about the phone: a 1920 x 1080p display, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM, 16 mega-pixel rear camera, 8 mega-pixel front facing camera, 32GB ROM and a model number A3000.
Gizchina News of the week
Some might be disappointed to see only a 1080p display on the OnePlus 3, as suggested by the leaks. OnePlus have been known to use OPPO’s designs, and it is likely that the OnePlus 3 and the OPPO Find 9 share a bit in common. This could also explain the 1080p screen; OPPO’s versions could come with higher res ones (as in the case of the OnePlus One/Find 7).
OnePlus have traditionally attacked their competitors with super aggressive pricing. Expect the OnePlus 3 to attempt to pull off something similar.
What would you pay for a phone with the above mentioned specs?
A lot of these companies are starting to realize that screens above FHD aren’t needed for displays this small. They don’t look any better and are a waste of resources. I am actually very interested in the OP3, first time I have ever looked forward to one of their phones. But to win me as my customers they need to do two things: finally make a phone that isn’t thicker than a dictionary and ditch the invite system.
The invite system ain’t gonna happen.
Lol, then they won’t be getting Balco as a customer.
Lol. 😀
I know you love 1080 and have seen you saying anything above that for a 5-5.5 inch phone is a power sucker. Let’s see how this turns out.
And BTW… I didn’t change my S2 yet. It survived a 5 second dip in water. I respect it even more now. 😉
You might win the OP4!!!
I applied for the OP1 long time ago, wrote 1 single post in their forum and got the invite worth for the OP2! Lol, I’m not kidding.
One Plus are famous for the invite system more than their phones! 😛
That sounds funny but it’s actually accurate
Look at this, if you still have it this might come in handy…
and to add..just give a great camera phone..Mi5 dissapointed on that
I think that still remains to be seen. Xiaomi will spend the next few months optimizing the camera.
will be a dual sim?
Maybe another disappointment like the Xiaomi Snail5, now days mid-high devices are way more interesting than the so called flagships.
The only thing disappointing with the Mi5 is the looks, other than that it is a beast of a phone and a great overall value.
Personal Opinion, i like the looks of the black version. (Fingerprint shape looks bad but i can live with that).
And ill be getting the Mi5 Pro version soon. 🙂
This is probably the 64gb Ver. Display says 5inch. Might be wrong.

The display size is usually wrong on that.
I know.
P.S – But maybe OP is going for 5 inch flagship this time around, while Oppo goes for 5.5 or 6 inch flagship.
I doubt it, they have the OPX for their sub 5.5 inch line. There will probably be a OPX 2 at some point.
I hope the display is better than the one in the OP2, as that one cut a few corners.
B20?
O hope for an Onplus X successor with Helio P20.
OP3 the worst support you will ever experience.
I wanted to say OP as company, not OP3
Im not disappointed by the 1080p 🙂 Hopefully that means <$400 .. at a xiaomi mi5-competitive price and support for 4g lte in the US market, it would … well, it would be my next phone
Yo where is android 6 for OPO?
I don’t care much… Now I’m hooked on the 2k bandwagon… So I will want it as much as possible. Has any one with a mtk X10 got a better than 65k on antutu ?
I haven’t but my user sperience running multiple apps and heavy games have been all great from my blue pure xl version of the GIONEE ELIFE E8. today I got an update which I plan to enjoy. Maybe balco has it.
But as VR seems to be a thing that might stick in for a while then I guess I do want 2K on any phone I ran into if I’m not to tight in my budget (that means zopo s8 or something similar until a better offer comes by)
I’m starting to lose faith in oneplus, flagship killer used to mean something but with the oneplus 2 it was more flop…Let’s hope 3 with us something to want at a price we cannot believe
I hope the price is not too steep and 5.5″ is really a good size for current smartphone.
I also hope the price will be sub $300 because china online re-seller will jack off the price again so i cannot imagine if the original price is $400 then how much they will sell *sigh* cheap smartphone become expensive by then.
OnePlus2 was a big disaster since OnePlus never listen to the reviewer that all proved SD820 is overheating and badly throttle down.
Sorry should be SD810 that was overheating.
But i did hear SD820 also got rumor overheat and throttle down. Maybe it is true or maybe it is rumor i am not sure.
