I don't think there's a thread for this yet...

From here : https://www.androidpit.com/oneplus-3-price-release...

OnePlus 3 price and release date
CNET en Espanol got an exclusive interview with OnePlus Co-founder Carl Pei. While he didn't disclose any details about the design of the OnePlus 3, Mr Pei did disclose an estimated launch date; the end of the second quarter of 2016.

There's no information on the OnePlus 3 price yet, but we would expect it to offer similarly good value to its predecessors.

OnePlus 3 design
Some early conceptual renders of the OnePlus 3 design were leaked in December 2015. They leave much to the imagination, but it would appear that the company has discarded its trademark sandstone black back in favor of black brushed steel. What the sheer white face on the left-hand render below means is anyone's guess.

The renders do clearly show that the fingerprint scanner no longer sits at the base of the front of the device, leading to speculation over how the company plans for the new device to be unlocked. It's possible that it could employ iris-recognition technology or even an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor embedded below the screen.

Excitingly, front-facing speakers can clearly be seen below the screen.

Earlier, in December, a concept video leaked showing the possible design of the OnePlus 3. It gives us a glimpse of slick, curvy device with extremely thin bezels. The video further hints that the OnePlus 3 might go with a brushed metal back, and we can also see a dual-tone LED flash and USB Type-C charging.

I almost got a one, then a two, then an X but have so far stuck with my now ageing HTC One M7.. It could be this or the HTC 10 or whatever it's called!!

I ordered my yesterday and got the dispatch confirmation today. It is shipping to Germany so will have an EU plug, if that makes any difference on availability. Swapping from IOS to Android, wish me luck.
I hope you enjoy Android, hopefully you'll wonder why you didn't leave sooner!
Although it's not quite as simple as that... The different flavours of Android and the different offerings from handset manufacturers mean that the experience is quite different depending on which manufacturer you choose, possibly even more so from OnePlusOne to OnePlusTwo (and therefore OnePlus3 and X by implication) due to the OS change.

I went with a Nexus 5X but have gone back to HTC. HTC works well for me, especially the mail client and being able to chuck APKs on there (as I develop some very small time Apps) via bluetooth, this wasn't possible on the 5X.

I also prefer the swipe keyboard provided by HTC, but each to their own!!

To be fair I think that's like most of the manufacturers cables - they are simply better quality and allow faster charging.

Why not buy a Samsung, or Apple?
Don't worry I've trumped both of those and gone with the HTC One 10 smile It does everything I want it to and does it really well.
