OnePlus 3 Camera Samples Released; OxygenOS Now Open Source


There is little left to the imagination when it comes to the OnePlus 3. The smartphone has been subjected to numerous leaks ahead of its June 14 unveil, and now, we get treated with camera samples, some great OxygenOS news, and pricing details.

After releasing camera samples a few days ago, OnePlus has released more images to show what the OnePlus 3 camera can do. The four images are stunning; capturing movement, depth of field, and colours adeptly. There's one image of a small bridge by the sea, highlighting the camera's focusing abilities. Another image of a firecracker shows how movement is captured well, even in low light conditions. The other two images also boast of great colour and clarity. Again, these pictures may have been taken after much detail and deliberation, and a novice may not be able to produce such results. Of course, we will reserve our final judgement about the OnePlus 3's camera for when we review the device.



Chinese tipster Reviewer has also unveiled the possible pricing of the smartphone(via Mobipicker). While the OnePlus 3 is said to come in several bundles, the tipster claims that the base variant will be priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,300). If this is true, its quite an attractive offering, considering the rumoured specs.


There's also some good news for the developers. Just ahead of the launch, OnePlus has also made OxygenOS open source, which means developers can access the code of the operating system, and play with it. This means that developers can download the fork, and learn from it to make one of their own. They can also provide bug fixes to OnePlus, and even develop their own features on top of OxygenOS. Full details can be found here.

For all those who don't already know, OnePlus is hosting the launch event on a VR space station. The smartphone will be sold invite-free soon after launch. The OnePlus 3 is expected to come with a 5.5-inch display, Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB or 6GB RAM options, 16-megapixel rear camera, and an 8-megapixel front lens.
