The OnePlus 3 is all set to be the recipient of a bigger battery than its predecessor if a new report out of China is to be believed. The company seems to focusing on battery skills with its new handset, what with an earlier leak hinting at a new technology dubbed Dash Charge.
My Drivers now reports that the OnePlus 3 will pack a 3500mAh battery, an upgrade over the previous model’s 3300mAh. It doesn’t seem like much, but could prove to make a difference in the long run if the accompanying Snapdragon 820 processor proves to more efficient than the older handset’s Snapdragon 810 SoC.
To recall, the OnePlus 2 did not carry fast charging capabilities inspite of running on the aforementioned CPU equipped with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology. A fresh set of speculation now suggests that the China-based brand is working on its own Dash Charge feature to power up the upcoming device quickly.
