Design
The all-new OnePlus 3 will get a new design language and this is not just speculation, but actual fact. OnePlus’ co-founder Carl Pei has said that the OnePlus 3 will be featuring a new design which is different from the OnePlus 2. As per his words, the OnePlus 3 will come with a captivating design which will enthrall the users again just like the first OnePlus One back in 2013.
The OnePlus One charmed with its distinct premium ‘sandstone finish’, which was also followed by the OnePlus 2. However, both these models actually had plastic construction with a metal outer frame.

Add-on Features
The OnePlus 3 is naturally expected to come braced with premium features such as fingerprint scanner as well as USB Type-C port. However, some suggest that the OnePlus 3 might be ditching the fingerprint scanner to offer an iris scanner.

Display
The OnePlus 3 is most likely to pack in a 5.5 inch Full High Definition display, just like its predecessors with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Software
As the OnePlus 2 runs on the Android 5.1 Lollipop based OxygenOS that is OnePlus’ custom skin on top of the Android Operating System, it can be safely said that the OnePlus 3 will run on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based OxygenOS, which will offer its own benefits.
Processor & Storage
The OnePlus 3 is likely to get equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 820 chipset. Several speculations have it that the new smartphone will come in two variants – one with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of onboard storage, while the other with a superb 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. Some other reports have also added to these, saying that there could also be a third model offering a humongous 128 GB of inbuilt storage.
Cameras
The OnePlus 3 is expected to feature a 16 MP primary camera lodged at its back, while an 8 MP secondary front facing camera should be there to take care of all the selfie shooting and video chat needs of the users.

So, expect the primary camera to offer features such as Optical Image Stabilization and rapid focus in order to offer superb photo shooting experience.
Battery
As per the speculations, the OnePlus 3 will be packing in a 3,000 mAh battery pack, which if true would be larger than the OnePlus 2’s battery capacity of 3,300 mAh.
