According to latest rumors, the upcoming OnePlus 3 smartphone will come with a solid 3,500 mAh battery unit onboard. In comparison, the predecessor OnePlus 2 houses a 3,300 mAh cell.

Meanwhile, another report from Gizmo China says the OnePlus 3 got 3C certified in China. Going by the certification listing, it’s clear that the handset will support rapid charging at 5V 4A, with a maximum wattage of 20W, guaranteeing insanely fast charging experience.

The point to be noted, however, is that OnePlus will apparently make use of OPPO’s low voltage charging technology, in place of Qualcomm’s ubiquitous Quick Charging mechanism.

Moving on to other rumored OnePlus 3 specifications, Phone Arena says this device will come with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, complemented by 1,080 x 1,920 pixels resolution. Under the hood, being a flagship, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset will power the device with a quad-core processor and Adreno 530 GPU in tow.

Speaking of camera configuration, the OnePlus 2 successor is believed to sport a solid 16-megapixel sensor at the back and a gracious 8-megapixel front-facing shooter for selfies and video chats.

OnePlus is expected to release the flagship as multiple variants. One of them will apparently carry a cool 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of native storage combination, which will set the buyers back by about $308.

The second high-end model will come bundled with a massive 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage space. This variant is believed to cost around $385. Apart from OnePlus 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is also expected to come with the same RAM configuration.

Rumors also suggest that OnePlus could be working on a 128 GB variant as well. As far as the release date goes, Gizmo China says the OnePlus 3 will be introduced sometime in May.
