(OnePlus)OnePlus 2, the predecessor of the soon-to-be released OnePlus 3

Recent leaks are giving people a better idea of what the OnePlus 3 will ultimately be capable of.

Previously, a leak coming courtesy of a source spoken to by Gizmochina revealed that there would be two different variants of the new smartphone.

The standard edition will reportedly feature 4GB of RAM paired with 32GB of internal storage, while the higher end variant will offer increased specs in the form of 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

Both variants will also reportedly be equipped with the Snapdragon 820 chip.

The source spoken to by Gizmochina also revealed that the new smartphone will be available for 1999 Yuan or about $310, though that figure is supposedly for the standard edition. A possible price for the higher end variant was not provided.

While that initial leak already shared some important details regarding the OnePlus 3, a newer leak, this time coming courtesy of MyDrivers, builds upon it even further.

Interestingly enough, the newer leak also features some of the same details that were revealed earlier, including the part about there being two variants of the OnePlus 3.

The listed memory capacities and processors are also similar across the MyDrivers and Gizmochina leaks.

On top of the similarities, the more recent leak also shares new details about the smartphone, indicating that it will have a 5.5 inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, as well as a 3500 mAh battery.

The leak also reveals that the new OnePlus smartphone will feature a 16 megapixel rear camera paired up with one up front that provides 8 megapixels.

As for pricing, the newer leak suggests that the standard edition will also be available for 1999 Yuan, while the higher end variant may be put on sale for 2499 Yuan or right around $385.

No specific release date for the new OnePlus smartphone has been revealed, though in an earlier interview with CNet, company co-founder Carl Pei indicated that it would be launched around the end of the second quarter.

More news about the OnePlus 3 should be made available in the weeks ahead.
