OnePlus 3 - 2 Weeks Later! #Helpful Post

hey guys johnathan here the 1+3 has been

out for a couple weeks now if you're

considering picking one up here are 10

things to know first off the price to

build quality is insane for 399 you get

an all metal unibody design that looks

and feels fantastic not going to lie

though it does kind of look like an HTC

10 swipe right an iPhone 6s plus did

some stuff you need to throw some

earmuffs on for me to talk about and out

came this but at the end of the day I

get it we've kind of reached a point

where there's only so much you can do

with a smart phone design and

similarities aside it's a well-built

really pretty phone on the left-hand

side above the volume rockers that is a

priority switch what this does is allow

you to shuffle between silent priority

and all notifications on the right

there's not a ton going on you have a

dual SIM tray so there is no microSD

card expansion here and then below that

the sleep/wake button which also double

functions to open the camera if you

click press it twice moving towards the

bottom there's a single speaker which

sounds good not great

a USB type-c port headphone jack and

then lastly towards the back the only

real drawback with the design is a

pretty apparent camera hump number two

and this is one of the most important

factors surrounding the oneplus story

and that's the fact that finally there

is no more invite system so what that

means is you can go onto one plus's

website there's no codes there's the

wait list just the ability to buy a

freaking phone now as of now there is

one model one storage option and that is

it but there is expected to be a gold

model launching later this year now

number three and again this directly

correlates with the price point and how

much you're getting for the money and

that's the fact that this thing is

packing monster specs inside is a

quad-core Snapdragon 820 which isn't

crazy by any means what is crazy though

is that this thing has six gigabytes of

RAM now to be honest I think way too

many people get caught up in specs and

cores and clock speeds because at the

end of the day was actually more

important is how the phone performs more

importantly how it feels the good news

though is the one plus three for me has

felt great whether you want to test that

to the specs or to the RAM I think it's

more of a combination with oxygen OS

because combined it results in a super

lightweight snappy fluid experience now

I did notice Walt game and it did get a

little hotter than it would have liked

I'm not going to get crazy and whip out

temperature guns or anything but I do

want to point out a negative

along with the positive now number four

is the fact this doesn't have a 1440p

display but that's okay I've seen the

one Plus where you take a ton of heat

for not only using a 1080p display but

also for using a pentile panel and for

one the people that get that hard core

are probably not people you want to hang

out with - the phone is 399 bucks and

three to the majority people out there

the screen looks really good there's a

ton of references against galaxy s7 the

g5 the major flagships and again all of

those phones are almost twice the price

now as a screen perfect absolutely not

and one of the drawbacks I notice was

using this thing outside but it was

really bright outside this thing

struggle to keep up making it fairly

hard to use in those conditions aside

from that though whether you're watching

movies gaming or browsing the web if

anyone tells you the screen looks bad

they are crazy that number 5 is unlike

the 1 plus 2 the 1 plus 3 now features

NFC and while this isn't anything to

praise the 1 plus 3 for it is nice they

finally included it the number 6 is well

there is in quick charge 3.0 and the 1

plus 3 there is fast charging with -

charge now if you've never heard of -

charge that is because it is 1 + is

proprietary fast charge solution and

while there may be a potential negative

there due to the fact you're going to

have to use - charge products to get the

benefits that aside it works crazy well

starting with a battery life percentage

of 38% after 30 minutes of charging that

could have juiced up all the way to 90%

the number 7 is on paper the camera

looks fantastic a 16 megapixel rear

shooter an 8 megapixel camera on the

front but in reality it does fall a

little short the negatives definitely

fall towards taking video with the 1 + 3

for the most part taking stills in the 1

+ 3 is stellar photos were sharp crisp

there's tons of detail the colors are

solid in certain situations it did

struggle a little bit with dynamic range

especially in brighter situations like

this where you can see the highlights

get blown out but again as a whole it's

a great stills camera video on the other

hand not so much they're supposed to be

stabilization in this but no matter how

steady you try to hold this the 1 + 3

does an amazing job at making it look

shaky you can also see it has a ton of

trouble auto focusing which results in a

really jittery image and while there are

a ton of good things with the 1 + 3 as

far as taking video it falls flat on its

face the number 8 and jumping back to

some positivity the fingerprint reader

is crazy fast with the oneplus 2 that

was always a step behind other

fingerprint readers but with the oneplus

3 it is instantaneous put your finger

down and you are in the screen the

number 9 is a slide all of the hype

surrounding battery life with the

oneplus 2 where you can expect decent to

good but not great - battery life at the

end of the day no matter how you spin it

this is a 3000 milliamp hour battery

which for me on a phone like this is a

little small they went all the way to

the moon with the RAM so I wish they

would have put some of that ambition

towards battery life ideally a four

thousand milliamp hour battery or at the

very least 3500 again this is by no

means me saying that this is going to

yield poor battery life

I just wish with oneplus always dubbing

themselves as the flagship killer they

would have gone a little above and

beyond in the battery department all in

all though you will more than likely get

through a full day if you happen to

drain your battery fast luckily there is

- charge now lastly at number 10 and

this is probably my favorite thing about

the oneplus 3 and that's the fact that

oxygen OS is extremely useful and

customizable small things like being

able to swipe down literally anywhere on

your screen to access notifications the

ability to switch between software and

hardware buttons being able to switch

between both a light and dark theme and

what I've always thought to be really

cool is you can change songs by drawing

a less-than or greater-than sign aside

from that - 1 + 3 isn't perfect but for

the money it's a fantastic phone and

more importantly you can actually buy it
