OnePlus 3 – Specifications, Price & Review [Complete] [id]

OnePlus has launched its most awaited phone the OnePlus 3. Since the time the company’s last flagship phone – the OnePlus 2 was launched, many serious competitors like the Xiaomi Mi 5 were launched so, it was clear for OnePlus, to stay in the race it has to produce a phone which has to be much better than the competition and which stands as a clear winner for months. Now let’s see if the company has succeeded or not. For the first time, OnePlus, in its flagship phones has ditched the Sandstone finish back and came up with a full metal unibody design although, you get the Sandstone, Bamboo and all the other back finishes in the form of cases this time. Design wise, the OnePlus 3 is simple and elegant, the company hasn’t tried anything fancy. It sports a 5.5 inches Full HD display, disappointing many who thought it will be a 2k display this time but, we are quite happy with it, as 2k is still not mainstream in India and not to forget it uses more battery. It uses the Optic AMOLED display (built by Samsung) which is excellent and almost perfect, full marks in the display department. The OnePlus 3 runs on Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 820 Processor paired with Adreno 530 GPU and 6 GB RAM. It is a beast in terms of performance, throw anything and it can handle it. It is currently one of the most powerful Android smartphones in the world. The OnePlus 3 features a 16 MP rear camera with Sony’s IMX298 sensor with 1.12 µm pixel size and f/2.0 aperture, it also comes with OIS. The camera has got good balance of everything and it can capture some really good quality images. The 8 MP front camera has also top-notch quality. The OnePlus 3 can also record 4K videos. The phone runs on latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based company’s Oxygen OS which has a near stock Android UI, it just brings in few enhancements. The fingerprint scanner situated below the screen is ultra fast and accurate and works even when the screen is sleeping. The phone packs a 3,000 mAh battery which gives good battery backup but more importantly, it comes with Dash Charging (OnePlus’s fast charging technology) support which charges the phone from 0% to 60% in under 30 minutes without overheating the phone, which is just amazing. It is a dual sim phone with 4G support and comes with 64 GB internal storage but there is no microSD slot. Overall, the OnePlus 3 which has one of the best performances in the world, is a great complete package, it packs very powerful hardware and works efficiently with its stable software. It is near perfect in most departments and delivers all the latest flagship features at a very impressive price.
