Another batch of OnePlus 3 live images surfaces online

OnePlus is definitely no stranger to viral marketing and it is no wonder the upcoming OnePlus 3 has been stirring up so much excitement online. The Chinese manufacturer has steadily been feeding us one detail at a time, whether it is a press render, leaked specs and more recently, a short teaser video. But now that the unveiling is officially set for June 15 and the dreaded invite system allegedly ditched for good, fans really have a big event to look forward to and thus, understandably, are digging even deeper to get new info on the handset before launch.

The latest scoop comes in the form of a brand new set of live shots. These seem to show a grey variant of the OnePlus 3 and upon inspection, details do appear to match up with existing renders. This is actually the second time the OnePlus 3 is spotted in the wild. Back in may, ablack unit surfaced as well, but, currently, we can only speculate on the authenticity of both sets of pictures and we leave it up to you to decide for yourselves.

  
Alleged OnePlus 3 unit

As for the OnePlus 3's specs, the ones we know of so far include: 5.5-inch AMOLED 1080p screen, return of NFC support, Snapdragon 820 CPU paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB of on-board storage, a 3,000mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner. And for the most impatient among you, we also know that 1000 units will be up for grabs on June 6 at a price of RMB 2,999 each (around $455). However, interestingly, this is not the final price. The actual cost of the handset will be revealed on the announcement day, and if it turns out to be less, you'll be paid the difference.

Meizu Blue Charm Metal 2 will be unveiled on June 13

We were already in the know about Meizu's intention to release a successor to the m1 metal, named the Meizu Blue Charm Metal 2 or simply Meizu Metal 2 . The first solid confirmation of that came in the shape of a TENAA certification from a few days ago. It appears that the Chinese manufacturer has decided to move things along quickly and has already sent out invitations for the official unveiling event.

The event will take place in China on June 13 at 14:00 local time. However, the insider source for the invitation itself has also shared some very different specs from the ones listed on TENAA, which could indicate that the event will be for another device entirely. Regardless of which one turns out to be the true Meizu Metal 2, the new device is said to feature a 5-inch HD display and an octa-core MediaTek Mt 6750 SoC. Its camera setup is quoted as having a 13MP main camera and a 5MP selfie shooter.

It should also be offered in two memory tiers, which the leak even provides prices for. The base 2GB RAM plus 16GB of storage is listed at CNY 799 ($121), whereas the 3GB with 32GB of on-board space will go for CNY 899 ($136). Both offers sound very compelling at their respective price points, but bear in mind that some price hike is expected if and when the smartphones get exported outside China.
