If a recent post by OnePlus CEO Liu Zouhu aka Pete Lau on the Chinese social media website Weibo is any indication, the Chinese smartphone maker is expected to release its next-gen handset soon. In his post, Zhou wrote that the upcoming OnePlus 3 "feels good to hold."
Incidentally, Zhou's comment came just a day after famous tipster Evan Blass or @evleaks posted an image of the purported OnePlus 3 on his Twitter page.
