After launching two new smartphones and a slew of mobile accessories this year, OnePlus is apparently not keen on taking a time off. The Chinese startup is reportedly putting the finishing touches on the OnePlus 3. Now, alleged renders of the upcoming handset have cropped up online, exposing the device's front and back sides.

The images which were first sourced by MobileDad showed a rumored prototype of the OnePlus 3. The handset looks like a mix between the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. It has the former's central camera lens and the latter's slightly curved edges. Click here and here to view the renders.

Inspecting them more closely, the images shows the device having the same textured back panel featured on the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2. The speakers are positioned at the front while gray spots hint the placement of the volume toggles, micro-SD and SIM card slots.

It's worth mentioning that if in fact the renders are legitimate, there's still a good chance the handset's final design will be completely different from what is currently shown.

At the moment, possible specs of the OnePlus 3 are still up in the air, but the report did talk about a 1080 x 1920 full HD display and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC. The only spec hinted by the latest leaks is the possibility of a dual-LED flash that will complement the rear-facing camera.

To recall, the OnePlus 2 launched in August with a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 display, Snapdragon 810 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of native storage. The Android 5.1 handset sports a 13-megapixel back camera and a five-megapixel front-facing unit. Users can also customize the device with numerous accessory options.

"The second-gen version looks more expensive than it is thanks to its impressive build quality," said Chris Velazco of Engadget. "Its powerful internals help the phone punch above its weight in performance tests."

Despite is fervent efforts, OnePlus will fall short of its goal of selling one million smartphones in India this year, but only by a slim margin, a company executive told Reuters.

The Chinese startup's roster of mid-range and high-end devices has proven to be a huge hit in India. However, supply chain issues have limited the company's ability to amass a bigger share of one of the world's fastest growing mobile markets. By itself, India is responsible for more than one-third of the company's annual revenue.

"In the initial two months, we weren't able to get stock, due to which we lost almost 6-8 weeks of sales," explained OnePlus India general manager Vikas Agarwal.
