Here’s a detailed review that talks about various aspects and gives Let’s Expresso’s verdict as well. So let’s straightaway jump into it.

OnePlus 3 review

Design

The aesthetic design of OnePlus 3 takes class to an all new level. Elegantly carved aluminium unibody looks suave and chic. Resilient build balanced by soft curves against sharp lines makes the phone nothing less than a piece of art. It measures 7.33mm and is their thinnest flagship ever.

The stunning 5.5-inch 1080p Optic AMOLED display with one of the world’s thinnest bezels produces bright and vivid colors even in bright sunlight, thanks to the dual-polarizing layer.

It is available in 2 gorgeous colors – Graphite and Soft Gold.

Camera

Camera is indeed one of the most important features that we look for in a smart phone. OnePlus 3 offers 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera.

OnePlus’ exclusive suite of imaging technologies, Smart Capture, allows users to effortlessly capture the ideal shot in any environment. A special mention to the brand new Smile Capture feature! The feature allows you to take incredible selfies by just smiling.

Dual-stabilization technologies – Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) – help reduce blurring of pictures to make sure they come out perfect. The robust manual mode offers the benefits of a DSLR, including support of RAW image files, in one lightweight device. A dream come true for all photography lovers, bloggers and social media buffs.

Performance

OnePlus 3 comes with the new quad-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 processor (up to 2.2 GHz). It performs tasks 35% faster than the OnePlus 2 and features a 40% boost in graphical power – all at a fraction of the power consumption.

OnePlus’ operating system OxygenOS offers a fast and effective operating system based on Android Marshmallow. The good thing about the operating system is that users can customize their smart phone with off-screen gestures and customizable capacitive hardware and software buttons built in. It comes with dual nano SIM card support, allowing users to connect to different networks with ease.

Dash Charging

OnePlus 3 uses the all new Dash Charge technology. It replenishes more than 60% of the 3,000 mAh battery in 30 minutes. You can also enjoy fast charging while streaming videos or playing games.

Dash Charge carries more current than other charging solutions, and at lower temperatures, by shifting the power management process from the phone itself to the Dash Charge adapter, so a vast majority of the heat generated while charging never reaches the device. There are 5 custom safety measures in place to adaptor, cable and phone itself. So you can use the phone without any tension.

Added Benefits

• Users can also enjoy complimentary subscription of 12 months of ad-free Saavn Pro.
• If you utilize OnePlus’ partnership with Idea Cellular, you get ‘double data’ for 12 months.
• You can avail the 12 months of accidental damage coverage through the ‘OnePlus Care app’ powered by Servify.

Price

The Graphite version is priced at 27,999/- and the soft gold version will be launched soon. You can buy the phone at Amazon.in, the exclusive online partner without any invite from day one.

Verdict

Although the price is on the higher side, but OnePlus 3 comes packed with amazing features. Spend some extra bucks and you won’t regret it. It is a great buy!
