The wait for the latest flagship from OnePlus is only 15 days away. The company announced on the Weibo site that the OnePlus 3 will launch on June 15th at 10AM local time in an online VR experience.

It is possible that the larger-than-normal home button on the front of the phone acts as the fingerprint scanner.
Regardless, we will know what the OP3 brings to the table in just a little over two weeks.
