OnePlus has already launched three smartphones. However, its new smartphone could be launched at the beginning of 2016. Data are beginning to arrive about what would be the OnePlus 3, the company's new flagship. It will be a high-level smartphone, although it will also have an economical price.
High end, inexpensive price
The OnePlus 3 will be a high-level smartphone, as the OnePlus One and the OnePlus 2 had been up to now. In fact, the latter have been characterized by having high-level features, but at the same time with a rather reasonable price. economical when compared to the price of high-end flagships on the market. In this case, we know that the OnePlus 3 will be of a high level because it will have the new generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, thus being a smartphone similar to the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the LG G5. However, it will be relevant that it has a screen with a Full HD resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels. All top-level mobiles, including these two that we have mentioned, the LG G5 and the Xiaomi Mi 5, will have a screen with a Quad HD resolution of 2.560 x 1.440 pixels. The OnePlus 3 would not have this screen, but it would be a more basic screen. Thanks to this, the price of the mobile could be somewhat cheaper than that of its rivals. After all, the difference in image quality between a Quad HD screen and a Full HD screen is not really noticeable. Even the iPhone 6s Plus, priced at 800 euros, have a Full HD screen.
Launched in 2016
We can confirm that the launch of the OnePlus 3 will be in 2016. However, there is the possibility that the mobile will be launched in the first half of the year, and even at the beginning of 2016. Actually this would not be strange because it is the same as it will happen with the Xiaomi Mi 5, with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and with the LG G5. All three mobiles will be launched in January or February. OnePlus could launch more smartphones in 2016 than it has launched in 2015. Last year it launched only the OnePlus 2, this year it has already launched two phones, and next year it could launch more. At the end of the day, with a 400 euro mobile and a 300 euro one, you can still launch an inexpensive mid-range that rivals phones like the Motorola Moto G 2015. By launching three phones a year, OnePlus can launch its flagship early of the year, its basic range in the middle of the year, and its mid-range at the end of the year.
