One Plus is reported to make a bigger OnePlus 3 Plus and is already working on the device's model. Rumors about the launch of OnePlus 3 mini the previous months has been ditched by the co-founder and Global Business head of OnePlus, Carl Pei.

Remember that in August, news about a smartphone that was seen in the GFXBench resembles the specs of the OnePlus 3. The only difference is the cited device was smaller than OnePlus 3 itself. Speculations arise that the smartphone manufacturer plans to launch a mini version of the OnePlus 3 and will call it OnePlus 3 Mini. However, Carl Pei castigates such hearsay.

According to Phone Arena, analyst Pan Jiutang could be introduced sooner or later but did not disclose any rumored specs. Speculations to the handset's screen resolution could be at 1,440 x 2,560. The OnePlus 3 Plus could make use of a larger screen, around 6-inches. Since improving the display could pose a negative effect on battery life, the cell's capacity could land at 30 percent to 3,900mAh. Additionally, it could be equipped with a Snapdragon 821 SoC and a dual camera setup situated at the back.

News arise from the alleged report of OnePlus' supply chain unnamed source that the phone company might end the OnePlus 3 production to make way for the upcoming model - OnePlus 3S or OnePlus 3 Plus. The new model might carry an LCD panel rather than AMOLED. It is likely that the scarcity of AMOLED panels could be one of the major reasons why OnePlus have difficulties in keeping pace with the OnePlus 3 demand, Android Headlines reported.

For the meantime, smartphone users can only speculate the totality of the rumored upcoming phone. Since OnePlus 3 is priced at $399, the price of OnePlus 3 Plus and/or OnePlus 3S could be around $599-$699. Since the upcoming phone or phones will have a bigger display, other features and specs will follow accordingly. The release date is not yet concrete, as it will be launched sooner or later as reported.
