The hype on the OnePlus 3 mobile units has been around for quite sometime, so it's understandable when a flurry of positive and negative feedback flew around after the model was first introduced and launched. Nonetheless, it was co-founder Carl Pei that took the high road on addressing dissatisfied customers about the quality of the phone.
Meanwhile, that's the case of the latest OnePlus 3 phones, but according to Know Your Mobile, it may take a while for the OnePlus 3 Soft Gold to be released. Alongside the arrival of the "graphite" OnePLus 3 was the announcement that OnePlus 3 Soft Gold will come at a later date; July specifically was the month indicated by Cart Pei on twitter.
There has been no official statement about the Soft Gold color, but if it helps to mention the price of the latest OnePlus 3 that came out in the market, expect the Soft Gold to be a little bit pricier than that. Online retailer JD.com priced the OnePlus 3 at approximately $379 USD. Take note that the OnePlus 3 Soft Gold may come at a higher price when it launches.
And because the OnePlus 3 Soft Gold edition is well, under the "Gold" edition, it was also revealed that it will have a white fascia, in fact, it will be the only unit in the flagship killer to have a white fascia. The Graphite OnePlus 3 unit on the other hand had a black fascia.
It may sound promising, but it is also important to take note some of the reviews about the latest OnePlus 3 gadgets wherein, consumers were a bit disappointed by the quality and specifications of the phone. Some even accused the company of cost cutting saying, they tried to remove the sRGB in order to market the phone at a cheaper price.
Pei responded on the accusations saying, "I want to make things really clear. There are no corners cut on the product, and there will never be. OnePlus cuts corners on business model (direct to consumer), org structure (nimble and fast team), and marketing (organic word of mouth focused)."
