The OnePlus 3 (also abbreviated as OP3) is a smartphone designed by OnePlus. It was revealed on June 14, 2016. The phone was unveiled in a virtual reality event and OnePlus offered its customers Loop VR headsets to experience the event using their phones, giving away 30,000 free headsets in lieu of a traditional press conference.
Prior to the global launch event, OnePlus revealed that the OnePlus 3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The OnePlus 3 includes features not included in some previous OnePlus smartphones, such as Dash charging and an NFC chip, a feature that was removed from the OnePlus 2.
The OnePlus 3 is the first OnePlus device to not be part of the invite system, which OnePlus had used for its last three devices to regulate flow with inadequate manufacturing for the inevitable high demand.
The OxygenOS 3.2.1 update began rollout on 7th July 2016, with improved RAM management, an alternate sRGB display mode in developer options, and various bug fixes.
An updated version of the device, called the OnePlus 3T, was announced by the company on November 15, 2016 and released on November 22. It improves upon the OnePlus 3 by including the newer Snapdragon 821 chipset, a 16MP front camera, along with a larger 3400mAh nonremovable battery. Sales of the OnePlus 3 were discontinued on November 17, but it will share the same software update cycle with the OnePlus 3T starting from Android 7 (codenamed Nougat and called N during development).
The OnePlus 3 features a new metal back design, similar to that of an HTC M9 or later, with anodised aluminium and curved edges. The device is available in two colors, Graphite (black/grey) and Soft Gold (white/gold, released later at August 2016). Additionally, users can purchase protective covers in Kevlar or black apricot wood, bamboo, rosewood, and sandstone which takes care of the camera hump and evens it with the phone.
The device is slightly smaller than its predecessor, the OnePlus 2. It's 2.5mm thinner, 0.9mm shorter, and 0.2mm narrower, but still has the same screen size, at 5.5in (139.7mm) across diagonally. The display is still 1920×1080 px, comparable to that of the previous two models, but the 3 is the first flagship OnePlus to have an optic AMOLED display. As is typical for most smartphones, the OnePlus 3 features Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.
