OnePlus is back with a bang. The much-awaited smartphone OnePlus 3 finally launched on June 14th. This android flagship, priced at $399 (27,999 INR), competes with the high priced smartphones of LG, Samsung, HTC and gives you the best in this range. It has Qualcomm’s fastest Snapdragon 820 processor paired with Adreno 530 GPU. OnePlus 3 delivers a great performance, has a great camera and a decent battery life but OnePlus, this time, failed to deliver something new. The OnePlus 3 is great on specs, but it has nothing exciting to look for. The headlining features of this phone, however, is its 6 GB LPDDR4 RAM and Dash Charging. OnePlus 3 gets charged up to 60% in just 30 mins and promises to deliver a full day battery life.
The phone has a 5.5-inches 1080p Full HD sharp display. OnePlus 3 does not have any bloatware or extra app, giving you a pure android experience. You can run any game or do multi-tasking with this phone very efficiently, thanks to its 6 GB RAM. The OnePlus 3 has a 16 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, and an optically stabilized lens, which is capable of recording 720p Slow Motion videos at 120fps. It can also record 4K resolution video at 30fps. The camera is not as good as Samsung Galaxy S7 but is still very great, especially in low-light.
OnePlus 3 has a dual nano SIM support and comes stacked with the latest edition of Oxygen OS, based on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. OnePlus 3 looks quite good on specs, but again, some features like water-resistant, expandable memory, etc. are missing. Also, it has some memory management issue but we believe that OnePlus will fix it with the new update. It may not be the Best Phone available in the market but it is surely going to give its competitors like Xiaomi Mi 5, Nexus 6P, Samsung Galaxy S7 a tough fight. Also, in this price range, it is the best phone available in the market right now and is definitely worth buying.
