GizmoChina claims to have information on the unannounced-but-inevitable OnePlus 3 smartphone. Accordingly, the base SKU of the model should be getting 4 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal storage for a price of 2000 Yuan (or around 270 Euros before tax and customs). The source also mentions another SKU with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB eMMC, but does not specify the price of the higher-end version.

The OnePlus 2 successor is expected to carry a Snapdragon 820 SoC as suggested by leaked reports from benchmark databases. If rumors hold true, then the smartphone may have an official announcement sometime this month for a launch in June.

Aside from the technical specifications, a picture posted by OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu (Pete Lau) on his Weibo account shows a macro shot of a flower purportedly taken with a OnePlus 3. The image shows excellent colors and heavy use of the Bokeh Effect.

The OnePlus 2 was hyped as a "flagship killer" prior to its launch only to disappoint users and the press with some missing features compared to other costlier high-end smartphones.
