OnePlus 3 image leak hints at metal body

After appearing in some leaked photos earlier this month, the OnePlus 3 is back today in an new leak that gives us a clear look at the upcoming Android flagship.

Prominent leaker Evan Blass has shared a render that claims to show the OnePlus 3, complete with a fingerprint reader on its face, a rear camera that appears to protrude a bit from its backside, and what looks to be a USB Type-C port on its bottom. There’s also a power/lock button on one side, a ringer switch and volume rocker on the other, and a OnePlus logo resting beneath the rear camera.

The OnePlus 3 itself has a body that’s reminiscent of the HTC One M7. Its body appears to be made of metal, and it’s got antenna lines at the top and bottom of its rear.

In addition to sharing this image, Blass has spilled a couple of the OnePlus 3’s specs, saying that the next OnePlus flagship has an AMOLED display and 3000mAh battery.

If this is indeed the OnePlus 3, its design will be a bit different than the past two OnePlus flagships. They both came with Sandstone Black backsides that were like  a smooth sandpaper, but the OnePlus 3 could have a smooth metal backside that could be going for a more premium — and probably a bit less grippy — look and feel.

OnePlus has said before that the OnePlus 3 will debut at the end of Q2 2016, which would be the end of June.
