OnePlus 3 mini is benchmarked: 4.6-inch screen, SD-820 SoC and 6GB of RAM?

Yesterday, we told you that strong demand for the OnePlus 3 has forced the company to halt sales of the device in 24 countries for a little more than a month.The manufacturer is hoping that the pause will allow it to build enough inventory to cover future sales. Without requiring invites like it did in its first two years, OnePlus wasn't able to correctly gauge demand for the OnePlus 3 in Europe. Luckily for the company, demand topped supply and not the other way around.

And things could be getting even more hectic. Today, an unknown phone was discovered on the GFXBench benchmark site. While there is no indication that this has anything to do with OnePlus, the specs practically scream out "OnePlus 3 mini." Of course, there is no guarantee that the manufacturer is even considering the release of such a model.

The phone on GFXBench carries a 4.6-inch screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution. The Snapdragon 820 SoC is under the hood with a quad-core 2.2GHz CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU. 6GB of RAM is inside along with 64GB of native storage. A 16MP camera adorns the rear of the device, with an 8MP front-facing camera shooting selfies and handling video chats.

Outside of the screen size, the rest of the specs match the OnePlus 3 exactly. OnePlus could decide to offer a truly high end OnePlus 3 mini device by shrinking the screen size, but keeping the rest of the high end specs. If this is true, we should see this model certified by both TENAA and the FCC. For the moment, we'd advise that you take this story with a grain of salt.
