History[edit]
Release[edit]
The OnePlus 3 is the first OnePlus device to not be part of the invite system,[5] which OnePlus
had used for its last three devices to regulate flow with inadequate manufacturing for the
inevitable high demand.
Following some controversy, the OxygenOS 3.2.1 update began rollout on 7 July 2016, with
improved RAM management, an alternate sRGB display mode in developer options, and various
bug fixes.[6]

Discontinuation[edit]
An updated version of the device, called the OnePlus 3T, was announced by the company on 15
November 2016 and released on 22 November. It improves upon the OnePlus 3 by including the
newer Snapdragon 821 chipset, a 16MP front camera, along with a 3400mAh non-removable
battery.[7][8] Sales of the OnePlus 3 were discontinued on 17 November with the OnePlus 3T
replacing it. It was also announced the phone will share the same software update cycle with its
successor starting from Android N.[9][10]
After owners of the phone expressed concern whether their phone would be abandoned after the
release of the OnePlus 5, it was confirmed by Pete Lau, the CEO, that the phone, and its
predecessor would eventually receive a software update to Android O.[11] It was also announced
that it would be the last major update.[12] On 8 September 2017, the phone started receiving
Android O in closed beta with public beta updates following soon after as part of their community
beta program.[13] As of 19 September 2017, Android 8.0 Oreo has been delivered via software
update.[14]
Android 9 Update[edit]
On 30 June 2018, OnePlus updated their update policy for the OnePlus 3 and 3T, opting to
update to Android Pie (9.0) instead of Android 8.1, and discontinued their Android 8 OpenBeta
program.[15] The first stable Android Pie update was rolled out to devices in May 2019.[16] Including
security updates and bug fixes[17], the latest firmware of 3/3T is OxygenOS 9.0.6 base on Android
9.[18][19]

Specifications[edit]
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/gray) and Soft Gold (white/gold, released later in August 2016.[20]) 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 5.5 inches (140 mm) 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.[21]

The OnePlus 3 is also the first OnePlus phone to ship with only 64 GB of storage available, as all
other OnePlus devices have shipped with a 16 GB option also. The onboard storage is UFS 2.0,
but there is no option for memory expansion via an SD card. The OnePlus 3 does include a dual-
sim card tray, but fails to have compatibility with LTE band 13,[22] making LTE unavailable to
Verizon customers in the United States.
For the rear-facing camera, the OnePlus 3 has a 16 MP f/2.0 Sony IMX 298 sensor, with both
optical image stabilisation and electronic image stabilisation. It is capable of 4K video at 30fps,
and 720p slo-mo video at 120fps. Further, it includes support for shooting RAW images, allowing
greater control of the image to the user. The front camera is an 8 MP f/2.0 Sony IMX179 sensor,
with 1080p at 30fps video and fixed focus.[23]
