But just a day before the device is all set to be shown to the world, a twitter user by the name of Steve Hemmerstoffer, has tweeted two photos via Weibo of the said OnePlus 3. The photos show the front and the rear side of the smartphone, sporting an all-metal unibody.

As seen in the photos, the device sports an all-black glossy front with a fingerprint sensor on the bottom. The rear has a camera in the centre and a single LED flash just below it. The two extreme edges (top and bottom) are cut out to accommodate the internal antenna and are possibly built of plastic, while the rest of the device looks encased in metal. As for now, we still cannot confirm if these photos are truly of the OnePlus 3, but as for the photos, they look pretty authentic.
Apart from this, a few similar renders have been shown previously, which look identical to what the phone looks in the photos. Steve also tweeted the same early in June this year.
The next flagship OnePlus is all set to be unveiled by the Chinese startup today at 10pm India. The device is said to some with a 5.5-inch display and powered by a Snapdragon 820 chipset with up to 6GB of RAM. The entire OnePlus 3 series will come in six variants, of which there will be three with storage variants and the three will come in two RAM variants respectively. A fingerprint sensor, 16MP/8MP cameras, 3450mAh battery and a USB Type-C port are some other features that are speculated for the OnePlus 3 today.
