OnePlus 3 with fast charging technology launched

Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus launched its flagship device OnePlus 3 with 6GB RAM and a unique dash charge feature that gives 60 per cent of battery in a flat 30 minutes.

Threat to several flagship devices, the Rs 27,999 smartphone is available on Amazon.in starting from Wednesday. "OnePlus 3 delivers the ultimate experience that our customers already love about our products," Pete Lau, Founder and CEO, OnePlus, said in a statement.

The dash charge feature charges the smartphone even when a user is gaming or working on it. The feature shifts the heat generated while charging back to the adapter, thus keeping the device cool.

"Dash charge has set a new standard for the fast-charging technology. It's a flagship smartphone inspired by and made for our fans," Pete added.

The device has Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor clocked at 2.2 Ghz, 6GB LPDDR4 RAM, a 16MP rear camera with optical stabilisation and a smart capture feature. It sports an 8MP selfie camera with Smile Capture feature.

The smartphone incorporates a fingerprint scanner that unlocks the device in 0.2 seconds, the company said. The DualSIM device (Nano SIM) has 64GB of storage, dual-SIM support, 3,000mAh battery and a 5.5-inch full HD optic AMOLED display.

The aluminium unibody smartphone runs on OxygenOS based on Android Marshmallow. With off-screen gestures and customisable capacitive hardware and software buttons, the OnePlus 3 allows customers to personalise their experience.

"We are confident the phone will bode well with the expectations of the Indian fans, who will now have an easier time experiencing the OnePlus 3 since we have gone 'invite free'," said Vikas Agarwal, General Manager at OnePlus India.
