If the render has any remaining credibility, it seems that the front-side fingerprint reader, three-stage alert slider and USB Type-C port are here to stay. The StyleSwap back covers are gone, though we don't doubt that OnePlus will continue to offer other types of cases.

We reached out to both CEO Pete Lau and Head Of Global Carl Pei regarding this render, but they both declined to comment. So far, the only official detail about the OnePlus 3 is the June launch window which Pei confirmed to CNET back at MWC. According to some benchmark and certification listings from last month, the metallic device is expected to come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, up to 6GB of RAM, Oppo's VOOC rapid-charging tech and Android 6.0.1. Evan Blass, formerly known as @evleaks, added that it'll feature an AMOLED screen and a 3,000 mAh battery.

Here's hoping OnePlus has saved us some genuine surprises for the launch in a few weeks' time; it'd be quite a shocker if the actual device looks rather different.
