OnePlus 3 Soft Gold release date news update: Available in US, new variant will also be available in other countries in August

A month after OnePlus 3 Soft Gold variant was launched in China, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has decided to release the device in the United States.

The new elegant design of the device will surely capture the admiration of many tech observers. The new variant is expected to challenge the leading brands in the tight smartphone market today.

Even before the company decided to release a new Soft Gold version, the device is already popular amongst consumers who are looking for a cheaper high-quality smartphone.

The handset has impressive specs and features that can easily compete with the leading devices in the market today such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.

The OnePlus 3 Soft Gold variant comes with a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display, which is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. The smartphone will run on a Snapdragon 820 processor from Qualcomm, which is paired with a whopping 6 GB of RAM. The device will carry a 64 GB internal storage capacity and a 3000 mAh battery that comes with a Dash Charging technology.

OnePlus 3 Soft Gold will run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. However, the device is expected to get the Android N update once the new mobile operating system is already available.

The device will sport a 16-megapixel primary camera with an aperture of f/2.0. It also comes with phase detection autofocus and optical image stabilization. The front-facing shooter will come at 8-megapixel with a wide aperture of f/2.0.

Although OnePlus 3 is yet to level with Samsung Galaxy S7 in terms of popularity, the device has slowly garnered some attention from tech freaks all over the world.
