Design and construction
What colors will the OnePlus 3 be available in?
The colors in which the OnePlus 3 will be available was yesterday one of the things that went quite unnoticed in the official presentation of the device.

Official covers and protectors
Like many other manufacturers such as Apple, OnePlus has also launched a series of accessories for its flagship. Among them are a couple of cases and a Flip Cover that we can find in 3 different colors. All accessories can be purchased from now on through its official website.
What is its thickness?
The market is increasingly moving towards offering mobile devices with a very small thickness. This OnePlus 3 will not be able to boast of being the thinnest smartphone on the market, but of being one of the thinnest ones used to put so many good specifications. Specifically his thickness is 7,3 millimeters.
Is the OnePlus 3 waterproof?
Unfortunately, this is one of the small drawbacks of the new OnePlus terminal and that is, despite the fact that it has been tested in extreme climates, with very good results, it is not waterproof as it does not have the corresponding certifications.
Some leaders of the Chinese company have stated that this feature is interesting, but not essential for any user.
Screen
What does it mean that the panel is Optic AMOLED and not just AMOLED?
One of the things that yesterday surprised almost everyone at the official presentation of this new OnePlus 3 is that the screen was not simply AMOLED, but it was Optic AMOLED. As confirmed by the manufacturer, this type of panel allows incorporating a touch of contrast and its own temperature, with which we could say that we will not see a resolution of this type in any other device on the market.
The term Optic refers specifically to the polarized dual layer that is lka that makes colors so vivid and realistic.
Who makes these Optic AMOLED panels?
The answer to this question is simple and is that the manufacturer is Samsung, which is responsible for manufacturing the vast majority of AMOLED panels that reach the market.
Will there be a OnePlus Mini with a smaller screen in the future?

Internal storage
Can we expand the internal storage using a microSD card?
The answer is no and it has its explanation that some OnePlus workers have given us. According to this official version They did not want to offer the possibility of expanding the internal storage using microSD cards to avoid a bad user experience.

What versions in terms of storage can we buy?
Unlike what had been rumored in the days leading up to the official presentation of the device, the OnePlus will only be available in a single version with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Of course, I believe that we should not rule out that versions with greater storage space could soon reach the market.
Is there or will the version with 32GB exist?
Many rumors suggested that we would see a version with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, but this It is a possibility that OnePlus has already totally ruled out And it is that regarding the possibility of launching a OnePlus 3 with 32GB of storage they have already said that they only want star devices.

Is the camera lens protected by sapphire crystal?
Unfortunately for all users, the official answer from OnePlus is no.
