Bottom Line
The OnePlus 3 offers some great performance, premium features, and a high build quality at an affordable price that proves it to be a force to be reckoned with in the high-end smartphone market despite its humble beginnings.
The OnePlus 3 is a 2016 5.5-inch high-end smartphone that has received rave reviews for its premium design, high-end specs, and great value for money. Featuring a simplistic all-metal design, the device not only feels premium, but it also looks like it could cost a lot more than it does. It has unprecedented power under its hood, with 6GB worth of RAM making daily tasks a breeze, with a fluid interface and smooth gaming. Users loved the proximity display, which allows you to wake the phone by waving at it, and the highly customizable Oxygen OS interface. However, the screen is only Full-HD, reducing pixel density. Also, there is no memory expansion slot, with the sole configuration being 64GB, reducing purchasing flexibility.
