Les caractéristiques du OnePlus 3 officialisées avant son annonce

We’ve been la fuite des spécifications du OnePlus 3Il n'est pas rare que des appareils soient testés, mais il faut toujours prendre les spécifications rapportées avec un grain de sel jusqu'à ce que quelque chose devienne officiel et apparaisse dans les tests de l'appareil. Pour les fans du OnePlus 3 qui salivent, ce moment est arrivé. Les spécifications du OnePlus 3 ont été divulguées dans des tests de référence graphiques en 3D qui ne remettent plus en cause la majorité des spécifications.

Grâce à la source, nous pouvons maintenant annoncer les caractéristiques techniques du OnePlus 3 : écran Full HD de 5,5 pouces avec une résolution de 1920 x 1080p, processeur Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 à quatre cœurs de 2,1 GHz, 4GB-6GB de RAM, 32/64GB de stockage, caméra frontale de 8MP avec enregistrement vidéo Full HD, et caméra dorsale de 16MP avec enregistrement vidéo 4K. Nous ne savons toujours pas quelle sera la taille de la batterie, qu'elle soit de 3 500 mAh ou de 3 000 mAh.

The OnePlus 3 will showcase OnePlus’s strength to craft a mainstream device that many will want. Metal unibody devices are all the rage, and there are good reasons for this to be so. For one, unibody devices just perform better, handle damage better (than devices with removable backs or modular parts, for example), and hold up better when confronted with water in the elements. HTC has pronounced that its HTC 10 is splash-resistant, but many consumers who saw torture tests done on One devices as far back as the One M7 can attest that HTC One devices have always had something of a splash-resistant nature to them.

The OnePlus 3 sports aluminum metal, which has had its share of fans in both HTC and Apple circles, and OnePlus hopes that its next-generation smartphone will capitalize in the good design and looks department. It just may, but with high-end chips we’d expect of all high-end smartphones, the only appeal to the device so far is that it’s cheaper than what you’d pay for a high-end smartphone. And yet, if price is the only winning feature of OnePlus, it’s hard to see what’s so appealing about the company’s handsets.

OnePlus is trying to create a brand, but price is the wrong way to go about it. At the end of the day, having a true flagship costs money, and OnePlus is creating anything but a brand. What do most customers like about OnePlus? Well, they sell cheap handsets. Is there anything specific to their brand that makes them stand out from, say, an HTC, Apple, or Samsung device? I don’t think so.

We cover the OnePlus 3 here as much as anything else because we want our readership to explore and appreciate all smartphones, but we want it to be said, too, that just selling a handset cheap isn’t enough. OnePlus has been riding that wave, but these leaks and photos we’ve seen are just an indication that OnePlus, for all its hype, is becoming just like every other smartphone company.
