Van plus 3 cords. OnePlus smartphone. Wonderful screen and sensor

A typical overview of a gadget is so lengthy and often boring for most readers, extending from the words, not only the clear numbers and graphs, as well as pictures, which informs about all the storage devices. There are too many letters, and the key points and shortcomings are scattered throughout the text and do not fit into the head.

We decided to throw away all the orders, depriving us of the most important ones. Including useful information where you can easily get acquainted and learn everything about gadgets. Here are the pros, cons and controversial features of the device with much less water.

What kind of killer is it that costs 30 thousand rubles?

Comparing OnePlus 3 with budget Xiaomi or Meizu for 100 dollars is the same as putting Lada and BMW on a par.

OnePlus 3 is a smartphone that is designed against expensive top brands from popular brands and is equipped with the most sophisticated fillings and materials.

For productivity, the current flagship market focuses on the Galaxy S7 Edge, LG G5 and others, but it is also much cheaper.




pluses

Productivity in reserve

It seems that the current Android smartphone does not have 2 GB of RAM. 3 GB is not enough for everyone. The new OnePlus is equipped with six gigabytes of LPDDR4 RAM. The desktop has a great use of memory, incredibly, excessively, but it is necessary for the most powerful Android enthusiast not to blame the smartphone for lack of RAM. I know again, you can shake the number in front of the Samsung power brokers, feeling the power of the superiority. After all, storing gigahertz and gigabytes is widely practiced among power users, and OnePlus 3 was created for them.

When paired with the powerful Snapdragon 820 and Adreno 530 graphics, the smartphone becomes a powerful monster that easily handles even the most powerful ultra-graphics game, keeping in mind three more important additions and a couple of dozen additional ones.

Gnuchky Android without tinsel

OnePlus 3 operates under OxygenOS controls based on the current one. This assembly, on the one hand, is similar to the standard, pure Android from Google, but on the other hand, it has great potential for customization. Let me tell you that users can add power to the system buttons and change the position of the “Back” button, placing it either left-handed or right-handed in position in front of the keys.



The assignment of a three-position physical switch to the notification mode is not yet configured, but the next update will add such a function, or you can get it from third-party retailers.

Due to the presence of important graphics, it is important to keep the system secure and stable. There is no fancy software here, which often duplicates Google applications, creates additional confusion and messes up the entire system. OxygenOS is practically ideal in terms of simplicity and functionality.

balancing design

If you want, you can get to the bottom of any case, but in the case of OnePlus 3 it’s important. Aluminum, heavy-duty, with perfect fit of parts.

The world has an important, not very thin, at the same time strict, but rather streamlined, rounded cut and 2.5D-style.

Without the back panel and glass, which collects tons of fat from your fingers. OnePlus 3 is very handy and looks great both in rough human paws and in beautiful womanish hands.



Scientifically primed night mode

A nighttime regime that is safe for health is not only dark and a dark theme. A bright light on the screen is a wake-up signal for our brain. For this reason, we can’t fall asleep if we look at our smartphone before going to bed. Night mode in OnePlus 3 turns on the dark mode and does not cause unnecessary hormonal surges.

A fast fingerprint scanner that is designed correctly

The flexibility of the OnePlus 3 finger scanner is not comparable to that of the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6s, and even worse, it has been upgraded.

We don’t know what the engineers were doing when they came up with the idea of ​​placing the sensor in the BACK. It’s possible that people wash their phones in their hands 100% of the time. Most people often get stuck in situations when they need to work on a smartphone that is lying on the table. The front scanner in this case does not matter at all, but if you carefully move it, first rub it in your hand, then wet the sensor, remove the lock and turn the device on the surface of the table. It’s not easy to handle and it’s fighting. Do not buy smartphones that have a scanner on the back: you will spoil your choice.

The scanner not only removes the blocking, but also plays the role of the “Home” button. As opposed to the same iPhone, the button here is touch-sensitive, not mechanical.

Monster cameras from Sony

Today's smartphone is inevitable without good cameras, and OnePlus 3 has two cool sensors: the main 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 with PDAF autofocus, HDR and dynamic noise filter, as well as the front 8-megapixel IMX179 also from Sony.



Naturally, these cameras are well aware of what you can get into by looking at the picture below. You can learn without any pre-settings, literally on the go.



OnePlus records video up to 4K at 30 fps. Standard 1080p is recorded at 60 frames, and for 720p the available upgrade mode is at 120 frames.

Selfie lovers will also enjoy the auto-selfie mode, in which the smartphone automatically focuses on the face, after which it launches the shutter and takes the photo itself. The function is very manual.


є NFC

We have learned the benefits of contactless payment using NFC and it is rare to pick up a cooker or a bank card. Not caring about the aluminum body, OnePlus 3 engineers miraculously shoved NFC into the smartphone. I do everything without complaining.

The normal procedure for purchasing a smartphone without an invite

Previous OnePlus models could not be reached without an invite. Complicating purchases through the request system is not the way to go, but it is a disgusting way to create additional noise and an aura of “elitism” around your products. Luckily, OnePlus decided to get involved in the non-senior business and now sell smartphones without unnecessary folding devices. Having paid - having checked - having taken off.

minuses

No choice

Only one configuration. No options. Don't want to overpay for a 6 GB RAM driver? Vibachte. Would you like to spare the size of the internal memory, since you are unlikely to take up 64 GB? I call vibachte.

We believe that if OnePlus had released a younger version of the smartphone with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, the sale would have been even stronger.

There is no protection from vologists

The point here is that OnePlus 3 is very angry with Samsung, whose new flagships are rated waterproof and IP68. We suspect that fraud will appear in the next generation of these monster smartphones.

5.5 inches is not for everyone

Trimali in the hands of an iPhone 6 Plus? Not everyone likes such a shovel. We think that a 5-inch diagonal is optimal for a modern smartphone.

By releasing the phablet, OnePlus is making a noise about potential buyers.

The battery is empty as it flows at night

A 3,000 mA battery per year is not enough, even if it’s very energy-hungry. The situation is complicated by the fact that if you turn off your smartphone for a night at, say, 80% charge, you can end up with a 65-70% charge. There were no guarantees of any kind of attraction to the great obligation of information. Updates were not installed. We believe that this problem will be resolved by the next update, but for now OnePlus 3 is not at all autonomous. Try to hold such a thing in your hands and do not use it to the fullest, for fear of losing your job without a bond - this is covered.

Two SIM cards, but no microSD - dammit!

The Chinese are now introducing a hybrid slot, in which you can put either two SIM cards, or replace one SIM with a microSD memory card. Hey, OnePlus, did you really not think about such a simple decision or Samsung made a rude decision, which smartphone has microSD?



Difficulties with service

OnePlus 3 is only sold online. There are no services, especially in Russia, where the smartphone has not yet officially appeared. If you want to travel, you will have to send it by mail to another country. Long and expensive.

controversial moments

Optic AMOLED display and great marketing

The advantages and disadvantages of AMOLED displays have long been known. The OnePlus 3 screen is even more flamboyant, violent, and violent. True black color for independent skin pixel quality, Full HD 1,920 × 1.080, density around 400 ppi per inch, Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Everything is cool.

We pay a lot of attention to the realism and reliability of the color transfer. The colors are so divine that they seem unjust. Sometimes the stench is really strong. If you go to AMOLED, you won’t notice anything, and the axis will be switched to OnePlus with IPS screens.

Another unpleasant moment concerns marketing terms. Do you know what Optic AMOLED is and how it is better than standard AMOLED? Nothing. This is the same display from Samsung, which they tried to screw up in order to improve the reliability of color transmission. It turned out that if you don’t know much about the topic, people who are too lazy to Google this kind of marketing can be misled.

USB-C DASH Charge - exclusive and expensive

OnePlus 3's proprietary fast charging technology allows you to charge your smartphone by 60% in 30 minutes. True, it works only with the same adapter and only with the same wire.

If you don’t see any of these at hand, you will have to be satisfied with the standard battery charging characteristics.

Before you buy a phone with USB-C, you need to be prepared before all your friends and colleagues who share their cable and charger will no longer be able to help you. USB-C is still a rarity, and it’s expensive.

A replacement USB-C cable with DASH Charge support for OnePlus will cost 15 euros. Fork - 20 euros. Expensive!

Together

No matter how much we tried to bark OnePlus 3, it’s still gorgeous. Samsung Galaxy S7 price: 50,000 rubles. OnePlus 3 - 30,000 rubles. Do you feel the difference? This is how they used to kill flagships, stealing from their right.

This information is available from the GearBest online store for testing devices.

In early 2016, the young Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus, after the recent inferior flagship, released its third top-end device. A very inexpensive smartphone with a distinct, modern look, a clear AMOLED screen and enviable gaming performance for those who know their stuff. As soon as possible, OnePlus plans to release an updated model that will compete with the top models of its competitors. And here the company followed the path of Apple, which exploits the design of devices and releases updated models with a new slot in the old case. Why is it so good? Let's take a look at this situation on the OnePlus 3T.

Contents of delivery





The OnePlus 3t package is similar to that of the previous model. And the new thing is rather good, so the company has something to boast about. The smartphone is delivered in a massive box, without being placed in a special plastic form. Under it you can find your own envelope made of strong cardboard with instructions in English and a paper clip for pulling out the SIM tray. A 4 Amp power supply unit and a USB Type-C cable under the envelope are found in special containers. Traditionally for OnePlus, the DASH Charge cable is a rare example of how you can create a simple accessory with clarity and added value.

External appearance, ergonomics, finger scanner

The developer has clearly invested a lot of resources in the design of the OnePlus 3, which, as a result, has taken away a lot of commendable features from the world of IT-videos. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the new flagship is truly simply updated. The new look of OnePlus 3t can be praised for its special design features, it just looks good and is extremely ergonomic. The same can be said about a device with a 5.5-inch screen.

The smartphone is an all-metal aluminum body with a large screen in front. On the back of the lid there are two thin plastic separators. The smells are painted in a darker tone and are aligned with the body, but purely subjectively they do not at all interfere with the new look of the smartphone. Through the thin body, the massive camera module protrudes decently above the back cover. If you are afraid that you may not survive the fall, you can get official cases from OnePlus - dry covers or a flip case. It's a shame to cost $20.



It’s nice that they didn’t skimp on aluminum in the smartphone body. There is a life button on the right side, a dial for adjusting the volume and a switch for alternating sound modes made from the same material. The buttons have a clear, precise action, and the pressure keys have minimal wear and tear in the case. Although in my iPhone 6 the situation is exactly the same, which does not matter at all in everyday life.

The lower part is the butt of what today's flagships are. Between the two screws on the sides of the bottom, there is a loud and clear multimedia speaker, a USB Type-C connector, a main microphone (another one for noise reduction right above the main camera on a plastic splitter) and a 3.5 mm audio output.

The front of the OnePlus 3T is the same as its predecessor. Above the large display there is a standard set of sensors, a large speaker, a new 16-megapixel camera for this model, and a new LED indicator.

Below the screen is a touch-sensitive “Home” button with an integrated fingerprint sensor and two touch buttons with minimal backlighting on the sides. The finger scanner itself, without recognizing any changes, is still the same in terms of speed of recognition - unlocking the smartphone is simply done. In this case, the expansion of the fingerprint scanner is most important due to the fact that the smartphone does not need to be lifted from the table to unlock it.

Meanwhile, developers of local Android add-ons have become more active and have begun to introduce finger scanner support into their programs. For example, for days such a function has been available as an add-on to the Ukrainian PrivatBank, where it is easy to enter for an additional scanner.

The same difference between the OnePlus 3 and 3T cases is barred. Now the new flagship can be purchased either in dark gray, or even brown, or in fashionable gold.

Having had a look at all the current flagships, I can boldly say that OnePlus 3T is one of the most popular devices in the world with one “all”. When compared to Xiaomi and Meizu smartphones, the smartphone is not considered, so to speak, “Chinese”. There are no compromises here, there is a deliberately brilliant finishing of the body or something that throws the elements of the body into the eyes. This is a strict smartphone that I was just as comfortable using as, say, an iPhone. Those same “ale” - a very thin body with a rounded back cover, which sits comfortably in your hand, but sometimes gets wet. The solution is the same as in connection with the camera protruding above the body - buying an official cover.

display

It’s not surprising that the screen in the new OnePlus 3t is still the same as the previous model. It's still the same 5.5-inch AMOLED matrix with separate FullHD content. So, there is a painful scheme for relocating PenTile pixels, but with a pixel density of 401 PPI, it does not in any way affect the image vibrancy.

Traditionally for AMOLED matrices, there are markedly oversaturated, even unnatural colors, of which there are plenty of fans in the world. If you are not like that, but still want to properly edit photos from your smartphone, then you will benefit from activating the sRGB mode, which is included in the display settings. The colors behind it are as close as possible to those of IPS matrices.

The brightness of the display has decreased significantly - from 2 to 383 cd/m2. In the sun, readability is normal, but in the dark, as is traditional for an AMOLED matrix, everything is clear. As soon as we activate, say, in addition to the reader, the theme of black color, then the eyes of my special ones will not be watched. When changing the bright spring sun, the brightness does not rise, but only a little is due to the inclusion of the sRGB profile, since in the standard mode the contrast of colors is much higher.

The OnePlus 3t display is covered with hardened Corning Gorilla Glass 4 with a nasty oleophobic coating and a heavy 2.5D effect, with a little rounding on the sides. In particular, such a display is simply more attractive to look at, a lower display with clear edges on the sides. During this period of active victorious work, apart from a couple of scraps of dirt, nothing happened.

Operating system and shell



The operating system of OnePlus smartphones is one of their most important advantages. Initially the stench was created on the already deceased CyanogenMod, and now on similar custom firmware. All these systems were united by the idea of ​​“naked” Android, on which Google smartphones under the Nexus brand ran, with expanded functionality. OnePlus 3T is not a culprit. Everything here is the same as in the previous model. The model for the Chinese market runs on HydrogenOS, and for the American and European markets - on OxygenOS. I tested a smartphone with OxygenOS 4.0.3 based on Android 7.0 Nougat.

The call system is practically a new clone of the official Google Start launcher. There is a hidden extensions menu with vertical scrolling, and the familiar notification curtain. The first noticeable change is the first side of desktops under the name Shelf, where there are widgets and weather information. The settings include alternating between light and dark themes, the ability to activate on-screen buttons instead of touch ones, fine-tuning the LED, and supporting gestures on the screen, which I have never been able to hear.

OnePlus is one of the first to update its smartphones to the latest version of Android 7. OnePlus 3T comes with this system on board. Change from OxygenOS to Android 6 Marshmallow, but everything is brown. For example, you can now receive notifications directly from the curtain. Naturally, it became possible to view two running add-ons on one screen and quickly return to the first add-on using the second tap on the “Back” button.

The main change in the OnePlus 3T is the same model that was released a few years before - the remaining mobile chipset from Qualcomm. Given this change, including marketing, the OnePlus 3 already had outstanding productivity. We'll be amazed at what the new OnePlus flagship is built on the current chipset.

The smartphone uses the same chipset as the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 or LeEco Le Pro3. A 64-bit SoC on the Kryo architecture with four cores, two of which operate at a frequency of 2.35 GHz, and the other two at 1.6 GHz. Video clip - Adreno 530 with a frequency of 624 MHz. With such a “grip,” the smartphone operates smoothly, without any lags or hang-ups. Everything just flows from your fingers, apparently (and first of all, I think, for the optimization and shell) everything works a little less than on Mi Note 2.

There won't be much to say about productivity in games. Modern Combat 5, Asphalt Extreme, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas run perfectly at maximum settings and with stable FPS. My smartphone warmed up a little under steam to a temperature of 48 degrees Celsius, but there was no noticeable throttling.

A full run of the AnTuTu benchmark confirms the presence of throttling - the difference in scores was between one thousand. Both in AnTuTu and in other synthetic tests, OnePlus 3T always scores the highest number of points and is equal to the average of the presented models and beats, for example, the Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.



Productivity improvements for Antutu version:


The OnePlus 3t I tested has 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, and there is also a model with a larger storage capacity of up to 128 GB. Six gigabytes of RAM is enough to save up to 7-10 extras and a couple of resource-intensive games in your workspace. It appears that there is just too much RAM here, so the additions can simply sit in memory for two days, and then be dismantled in the same workbench in which they were burned. In all other respects, OnePlus 3T is identical to OnePlus 3.

Communications and multimedia

The OnePlus 3T, like the previous model, has one feature that is often underestimated when choosing a smartphone. Three-position control - no sound, custom mode and standard. During the hour of testing the phone, I more than once caught myself thinking about how easy it is for them to profit from everyday life. For iPhone users, it may be less functional.

The 3T's voice communication tasks are handled efficiently. It has a clear loudspeaker that allows a little sleep to flow during subway trips, plus a nasty multimedia speaker. It has a medium volume, and like the large Google Nexus 6, the smartphone does not seem very jingly. Although the sound appears clear and sounds with tension on some bass.

All is well with navigation. When connecting GPS + A-GPS in about 10-15 seconds, the smartphone knows and has about ten GPS satellites, communicates with GLONASS and sends a couple of Beidou.

autonomy

The battery capacity of the OnePlus 3t, aligned with the front, was increased by 400 mAg - 3400 mAg versus 3000 - which did not have any particular problems with autonomy due to several years of display activity. I’ll tell you straight away that it’s not worth it to invest in those that everything will be more beautiful here. Still, a more productive Snapdragon 821 chipset is installed here, which accounts for part of the larger battery.



However, I can’t complain about the autonomy of the OnePlus 3T. On average, a smartphone showed between 3.5 and 4.5 years of screen activity when the smartphone was in use. In my traditional mode, there are several beeps per day, high display brightness, constant activity in three or four messengers, reading in an average of almost a year per day and, of course, constant camera speed, phone support Working from morning 9 until 8-9 pm , after which it needed to be sent for charging.

As a leading flagship, OnePlus 3T cannot boast of high-quality autonomy, like, say, Moto Z Play and iPhone 7 Plus, but for the average consumer, I think these results will be achieved.

Moreover, the device supports DASH Charge charging behind an additional power supply with an output voltage of 5 Volts and a flow of up to 4 Amps. As a result, such charging is even faster than Turbo Charge in Moto, where to fully charge a smartphone from 0 to 100% I spend on average one year and 20-30 hours. Right there this show is 20 rubles less. Up to 60% capacity, the smartphone battery is charged in an average of 30-35 hours.

cameras

The main camera in OnePlus 3t is the same as in the previous model, which has already been discontinued from sale. It has a 16 megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor with phase detection autofocus. As before, the camera is doing its best to compete with all current flagships, but it is subjectively inferior to the iPhone 7/7 Plus. More precisely, it is not up to you to pay attention to all the parameters of the photos.

The camera interface is simple and user-friendly. It is possible to activate manual mode with adjustments to highlighting, focusing, ISO and white balance. As in Moto smartphones, here you can activate the quick launch of the camera using the pressed button. Several photo modes are available: automatic, auto-HDR, HDR and HQ.







Multi-size photographs can be taken as requested.

The smartphone can record video in 4K and FullHD at 30 fps, as well as slow-mo in 720p at 120 fps. The quality of the video cannot be called exceptional, but the rest of the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Google Pixel do not benefit from the OnePlus 3t, however, due to adequate stabilization and a wider dynamic range.

The front camera is now a full 16 megapixels thanks to the Samsung 3P8SP sensor with f/2.0 aperture. You can clearly see what the adult has done, but because of the rigidly fixed autofocus, you can sometimes miss and take away a few times from taking a Selfie.

pouches

OnePlus 3T is a much improved flagship model from a very long time ago, which is one of the most popular purchases for the price. So, the smartphone has become a little more expensive, but will then acquire an advanced mobile chipset, which will increase productivity by a couple more rocks, a larger amount of stored memory and an upgraded front panel. I think the remaining point will still need to be corrected in the upcoming OxygenOS updates, as OnePlus often does. The bag suggests itself - to mention the increased versatility of the OnePlus 3T and the largest smartphones for $ 400 with a small one, which will increase your respect.

What was honored:

    new look and new color to the body;

    become overly productive;

    AMOLED display;

    A fast finger scanner that does not support Touch ID 2.0 in iPhone 7;

    DASH Charge support;

    "Naked" Android with expanded functionality;

    The front camera has been improved.

What was not worthy:

    It’s easy to miss the fixed autofocus and take a few moments off the Selfie.

Where to buy?

Thank you for your respect!

Remember flagship watches for 30,000 rubles? So the stench didn’t go anywhere. І OnePlus 3 is a living confirmation of this. A productive, clear, technologically advanced smartphone for a nice price - here’s a short story about our hero. And for details I ask until the great look around OnePlus 3.

OnePlus is a series of extraordinary Chinese smartphones that are creating a lot of noise in the mobile electronics market. All this means that the device (now in its 3rd generation) offers not only maximum characteristics at a minimal price, but also technology and unique features. This is what happened with the output 1 + 3. I can immediately say that your smartphone is much more valuable than yours. On my relish 1 + 2 yakimos is not perekonlivim, passable. It’s not bad (at the time of release), the camera is good, but it’s clearly not suitable for driving flagships. Everything is different with the new product.

Judging by the policy of this Chinese startup, the crusade for global panic is not an option for it. In more than three years since the company was founded, it’s hard to say that it has grown a lot. As before, we cannot compete in the scale of our business with Xiaomi or Lenovo, not to mention other competitors in particular A-brands. And I can’t say unequivocally whether it’s good or bad. For you and me, the survivors, it is important that the product be good, so that the acidity does not suffer and the support remains. Everything is here and thank God!

Equipment

OnePlus is happy to offer and work even at the unpacking stage. At the edge of the box, the “oxamite” dot is applied to the top of the box, which is filled with a Hi-End product in the middle.

The first thing that flows into the world is the device itself. A simple dry film is already glued to the screen from the factory. She may not be shaking in three seconds, otherwise the fingers on her will be forfeited for her dear soul. It was time to wake up immediately.

On the back side there are also their wet spittle.

In the middle is a neatly folding USB Type-C cable and a Dash Charge power supply unit, which will ensure the device remains untidy for an hour of charging. Let's talk about this in the section about autonomy.

There are no headphones included and are not required. If a buyer buys 1 + 3, he will pay for everything, and he will get to the point of exhaustion. And these guys have no problems with the availability of good, comfortable headphones that they really like for themselves.

In addition, the box contained a plastic box (more like a case) with a paper envelope on the reverse side. In the middle there were all sorts of papers, a paper clip for extracting SIM cards and stickers. Cool, fan-made “Merch”.

Design

First of all - wow! Friend - stop! Maybe he’ll guess me. It appears that the device bears a strong resemblance to the ideas of yesteryear. The rut looked exactly the same: the same metal, thin, with furry fur on the back and a bulging camera in the middle.

I still have one of these, so I can appreciate the similarity of the two devices.

No matter who you are, we will accept your smartphone even better. The Vikonan score is five plus. The quality of materials is amazing.

The metal that is received on the pillbox is smooth, but also quite slimy. It’s easy to lose sight of the device. In addition, the camera is very visible above the body, and there is a sharp rim at the back, so it will either become tattered or the surface on which it lies. I'd love to buy it case for OnePlus 3. Still, the river is a road and, unfortunately, it’s slimy. It’s better to put everything into a stale case.

From the drive to the housing, the buttons of the scanner and so on, you can watch the video below. I'm ahead of the curve, don't be surprised by weak nerves. On the other hand, you will be warmly welcomed.

The device is thin and can be clearly felt in your hand. In terms of other dimensions, the wines are no different from their 5.5-inch brothers on the market.

The tray for the SIM card (the space for Micro SD was not transferred) is located on the right side. Supports two Nano cards. It’s cool that there are plastic plugs from the factory there. Perhaps, for those who can’t see it in their eyes, this is what “nano-sizes” themselves look like.

All external organs are located on the lower end. There is a microphone (right-handed in the Type C port), a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a multimedia speaker (left-handed). This is not the most important thing, because I use a smartphone in landscape format, if the Dodoma key is on the right side. In such a situation, the speaker closes the valley “far away”. You have to turn the device over.

Speaker quality is good. The wine is thick, there is no crime or other crime. There was still a stink!

The front panel is covered with hardened Gorilla Glass 4. Most importantly, it has rounded sides. A plastic side, which connects it to the metal body, presses directly into the ice.

The upper right corner has a rotating LED indicator. Sensors and front panels in their own places.

The display cannot be called frameless in the modern sense (it’s far from Nubia Z11), although the width of the frames is still minimal. This adds a point of excellence to the phone. The incompetence in the vikoristan is something I didn’t notice.

Below the display there is a Home button (touch-sensitive, which cannot be pressed), and on the sides there are completely invisible touch buttons.

It is even difficult to recognize them in the daylight or at night, as they will have to be pressed and pressed blindly. Everything on the right is that their lighting is even dark.

For a couple of seconds, two small specks of ice light up and that’s it. You can adjust the hour of their light.

The buttons can be reassigned among themselves to suit your taste: change them in places, use them when tired, when pressed hard, and so on. I set the camera launch to the second step (the same as on) - it’s even easier.

A welcome bonus is the presence of a physical switch between alert modes on the left side. It has three settings: all information, priority mode and absolute “silence”. Everything is priced according to the menu under your own control.

Peremikach has already honored me. It’s really clear here what couldn’t be said about. Corrupting with him, I gradually missed the calls and notifications, and at any moment I realized that I had suddenly locked up something important.

Finger scanner

The speed of recognition is practically brilliant! and the cows do not turn around them. The first one still hasn’t gotten enough sleep.

It takes only 0.2 seconds to unlock another Chinese smartphone, but it’s really a marketing fake, but it’s not at all real. Once finished, it’s ready. Once finished, it’s ready. And so you can get stuck on a couple of quills, which is what I got.

Vzagali, covering the touch button with vikonano ceramic. It’s impossible to tear it up and sell it, so it’s better to finish the video that I share more.

display

At first glance, you can see what's on the right side of the AMOLED panel. First of all, the color is striking because of the power of the AMOLED matrix. Ale varto viddati carefully, the rest of the time the panels have grown greatly: they have retained the high contrast, the distinct transmission of the black color, but with which the “virgin eye” color has almost completely changed and has become less similar to natural ні.

  • diagonal 5.5 inches
  • allowed 1920 x 1080 pixels
  • dot thickness 401 ppi

Look, here we have Optic AMOLED, so color calibration was given great respect. I don’t know how it really is, but the screen is simply amazing. Violent, colorful, beautiful, contrasting - everything is good about him.

Let me look at the miracles. The light, when the diagonal axis is tilted, does not bloom at all, and does not create that same buzzy fog that dominates IPS matrices.





It is clear that the temperature settings on the screen have only one modest slight difference. Pull to the left - get out of the light, pull to the right - more warmth.

I especially like the Full HD resolution. It uses less processor resources and consumes less energy, and there is only one bag - the picture is smooth, there is no graininess. What else is needed?

The CGG 4 has a unique oleophobic coating. Fingerprints get crowded within reasonable spaces and come off easily.

Of course, this is the night mode. There are no special adjustments in your relationship. You can only set the intensity of the light and that’s it.

I was lucky enough to have a bunch of chips that were sold here. In sleep mode, the screen may not remain in black and white until new messages arrive. In the same way, you can illuminate the display by making a Jedi gesture over it. It works out in 9 out of 10 rounds, which is bad.

The main thing is, of course, 6 gigabytes of RAM. After re-downloading and cleaning it is 4722 MB. Bring more memory to the table than on a desktop computer! We've lived, it's called.

Quite recently there have been phenomena in the world. We overtook our hero with a processor, but rejected the same types of memory: LPDDR4 and UFS 2.0.

Navigation on smartphones is hassle-free. Satellites are caught a few seconds after the start. The only thing is that I could not smell the evil of the greedy Chinese companion, but there is a stink in our region. Maybe it's the wrong hour of the day?

This is probably all you need to know about the characteristics of a smartphone.

OnePlus 3 is a bigger version of the rival OnePlus 3. This smartphone can now compete with the Google Pixel.

OnePlus 3T smartphone - Vidguki

OnePlus 3 is the shortest smartphone released by OnePlus at the moment. How can the new model compare with the original, and why do the table tops include all the innovations? You will find out about this in this review. Let's go!

Wonderful design of OnePlus 3T in minimalist style

It would be practically impossible to place the OnePlus 3 hand-to-hand with the OnePlus 3T and separate them from one another, just by sight. This is a logical conclusion, since there was no sense in changing the design of OnePlus 3, looking at the fact that it was just six months ago. Besides, the cob design itself is marvelous.

The 3T has changed the structure of the metal shell, as was the case in OnePlus 2, from the shortness to a smoother one, and the outer design has become more minimalist. On the back of the device there is an embossed One Plus logo, and, similar to the iPhone and HTC, on the back there are two lines of a darker color - top and bottom, and the camera lens is slightly raised above the body.

As soon as you take the smartphone in your hands, you can see that its side parts are slightly curved and have a smooth surface, so the device lies perfectly in the bottom. Looking at how many hours it is, it is even more important to spend time in the valley of people in the middle of the day. After the OnePlus 3 debuted with high levels of power and comfort, it has now risen to the same level as phones like the ZTE Axon 7 and Huawei Nova. The new OnePlus 3T cannot fully match the ideas that underlie the design of the Axon 7, but the 3T zoom comes as close as possible to the phones of the last generation.

Varto means that the phone is surprisingly compact. Samsung and LG have 5.1-inch and 5.3-inch screens similar to other beautiful phones of this era. Although the OnePlus 3 has a 5.5-inch screen, it is hardly wider than the LG G5, and just a millimeter or more. Moreover, the smartphone is thinner and weighs 158 grams, which is smaller than the G5 and S7.

Wonderful screen and sensor

The OnePlus 3T screen is covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4, which has a curved shape that beautifully completes the modern design. There is only a finger sensor, which also plays the role of the “Home” button. A two-stage switch allows you to vibrately mute notifications, based on their importance. This allows you to save time, and the pump itself has a new and unique look. It is located in the upper left pocket, and a little bit is not important, but only for right-handed people.

The finger sensor operates with adaptive speed, and in addition, the device has NFC, so the smartphone supports Android Pay. Payments for additional mobile phone services will not be requested, it is unlikely that it will be associated with 3T problems, but rather, with amends in the supplement itself.

OnePlus 3T has a 5.5-inch optical AMOLED screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels. What does optical AMOLED mean? The CEO of OnePlus, Karl Pius, stated that the screens supplied to him by Samsung are equipped with an advanced polarization ball, which is adjusted to transmit enhanced color and contrast. On OnePlus 3, there was always a problem adjusting the screen, visors, and basic controls, but this changed to 3T. The picture here looks dull, which is what was important to achieve in OnePlus 3. If the standard settings are not suitable, you can now quickly adjust the settings from warm to cool tones.

Productivity on par with reactive

The main change in OnePlus 3T is the replacement of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with a new and larger Snapdragon 821. RAM remains unchanged at 6 GB, and, although there are a number of other changes, The processor is undoubtedly the main reason why the 3T costs more.

It's time to get ready for the final tests. Put the 3T against the OnePlus 3, perhaps the easiest way to find out what features it has. AnTuTu 3D on OnePlus 3 showed 44.131 points, and the same test on OnePlus 3T turned into 166.912 points. The grievances were carried out in the same way, without third-party additions, on the remaining version of the current public release of the OxygenOS shell.

This makes a big difference, and you may destroy any other smartphone. Such high indicators are also present in other test programs. Geekbench 4 showed 4.133 on OnePlus 3 and 4.390 points on 3T, and the gaming test on 3DMark showed that OnePlus 3 scored 2.561, while the 3T showed 2.700.

And other changes that will not be noticeable immediately, but will give noticeable benefits to the new device. For example, the 3T does not heat up when it is under heating, compared to the 3rd version, and it also has an increased battery capacity of 3,400 mAg.

OnePlus 3T camera and security software

OnePlus 3T still has the same 16-megapixel camera as its predecessor. It has an F/\u200b\u200b2.0 aperture, optical image stabilization, HDR, and a 1.28-inch sensor. However, OnePlus has improved its software security. Photos made 3T are more natural and easier on the eyes.

The rosy photographs are close-up and against the background it looks even beautiful. When HDR was activated, the shading of the plots was highlighted well, without harming the details. In low light levels, a lot of detail is revealed, although not quite like the iPhone 7 Plus, you won't be disappointed.

In addition to the front camera, OnePlus 3T has a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The pressure sensor is not only for selfie lovers, but for live streamers who require high image clarity. And in the minds of low lightness, it works well. The front camera has a simple mode of beauty and function, where the sensor is responsible for recognizing chuckles and activating the shutter.

Swipe right on the sensor, in camera mode, and you will be able to access manual adjustment mode, where ISO, focus, shutter speed and brightness can be adjusted to suit your needs. The camera software works smoothly and efficiently.

Security software and updates

OnePlus 3T runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS in the OxygenOS interface, which easily changes the operating system from the one that Google promotes. This is not a drastic change, but closer to the fact that Motorola is on the same page with Android, which is less important than the interface of Huawei or Samsung. Android updates to version 7.0 will be completed by the end of 2016, our model was updated to Android as of November 2016.

A number of modifications included in OxygenOS. The most notable is the “Shelf” function, which allows you to open the interface from the left main screen, where you can find messages sent to frequently used add-ons, space for Android widgets, weather data and a place for recording at the notes. After all, you can either turn this function on or off.

OnePlus is installing its own add-on gallery, add-on file manager, music player, voice recorder, as well as a new Community add-on - it gives direct access to the company’s online forums. There are a lot of tricks and threads on the forums, most of them with a few outbursts, but this allows you to find problems on the forum, if a solution has not been found on the Internet.

Memory capacity and availability of MicroSD slot

Regardless of which model you buy, you can choose either 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory, but, unfortunately, there is no MicroSD card slot for increased memory. OnePlus decided not to follow fashion and did not add a new feature of Dual-SIM trays, which could replace one of the memory card slots, so the 3T is a strictly secondary SIM device.

For these reasons, we recommend choosing the 128 GB version of the OnePlus 3T to allow the smartphone to be wiped for a few years, depending on its productivity, first you will need a replacement.

Battery service term and charging speed in OnePlus 3T

Despite the fact that the OnePlus 3 is the same size as the OnePlus 3, it is equipped with a larger 3,400 mAg battery, which holds a charge close to the level of power consumption. You can increase your battery life even longer by using the vikorist function, which turns off data display in the background, as well as the vibration function.

The fast charging system works great, OnePlus claims that it will charge the battery up to 60 liters of capacity in just 30 minutes. Our tests showed that this is true, and we got 60 hundred units on the 31st line. Full charging of the tank was completed within a year and 20 hours. We achieved the same thing with OnePlus 3.

Warranty, price and availability

Tablets are not supported by the request system, now on the right, you can buy OnePlus 3T through the OnePlus online store right away. For the 64 GB model you will have to pay 440 $ (28,000 rubles), the price is 40 $ more, lower than the price for OnePlus 3.

OnePlus offers a good one-time warranty, defects will be repaired or the device will be replaced - at no cost, including shipping and handling costs. This is not subject to wear or damage by water. As an alternative, OnePlus offers an extended warranty plan for up to 18 months or two, which costs extra pennies and is only available in the US, not China.

Chi varto kupuvati OnePlus 3T?

The OnePlus 3T smartphone is powerful and offers high productivity and style, allowing you to save a lot of money compared to its competitors. One or two problems in the software are currently being reported - but we suspect that they will be corrected in the near future. They are no longer enough to overcome all the advantages of this device.

OnePlus 3T is, in our opinion, a good and durable smartphone, without any serious shortcomings. It’s easy to admire, it’s great to be victorious, it accepts hostile images, and the technical creation is still a powerful and productive device. And all for the price of 440 $ (28,000 rubles). Tempting, isn't it?

accomplishments

  • Most clean Android with regular updates;
  • It's a breeze to charge the battery.

Advertising campaigns for OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 were based on the fact that these smartphones are “flagship killers” (the slogan Flagship Killer). With the first model, this bold statement was often true, since one of the first models had a Snapdragon 801 processor (version MSM8974AC), 3 GB of RAM, and could also boast of unique packaging and firmware CyanogenMod 11S, adapted specifically for 1 + 1 . And all for $299! Try positioning the OnePlus 2 in the “drive” box and click more often. It has market-leading characteristics, a new design and is equipped with the same Oxygen OS firmware. I didn’t accept such a buzzing name and the delay with the device’s exit. In order not to completely turn into the “killer without eggs” meme, the company took a look at the approach before releasing the new OnePlus 3. And rightly so. Less words, more action. OnePlus 3 has become one of the most popular and deserved respect for the flagships of 2016. Whatever you want, you can decide to become a flagship killer. Let's face it, without paws.

Video review and unpacking

Design and equipment

I still remember the packaging of OnePlus One with warmth. The OnePlus 3 has just the same box, but everything in it is laid out neater than the OnePlus 2. The set of accessories includes: a USB Type-C cable, a fast charger with Dash Charge support, documentation, a couple of stickers. The smartphone is placed in a pallet made of hard plastic and, with a small addition of it, the whole thing could be stored in the inside of the case. However, OnePlus did not complete the new product with a case, regardless of plan, for the sake of higher income (it sells a number of branded cases made of plastic and with a wooden base). Zahisna molten coating was applied to the slope.

Initially, OnePlus 3 was presented in the “graphite” color (like ours), and recently the “lower gold” color scheme debuted. In my opinion, the darkness of the barley suits the structure better.

The design of OnePlus 3 is impressive. It doesn’t seem original, but it doesn’t seem unpleasant (like the same OnePlus 2 with the stupid design of the camera area). The front of the device is similar to Meizu, the back is similar to HTC. If you take 1 + 3 in your hands, then neither Meizu nor HTC will be able to guess. The device is thin and light. The dimensions are equal to those of Huawei P9 Plus, Meizu MX6, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge - they all have 5.5 "screens. The camera is prominent and strong, due to damage it protects the metal bezel and the hardened edge (extraordinarily, Gorilla Glass 4). Unpacking I said that you can wash the camera to get some great photos.

The refinishing of the key elements of the body can be seen in the photographs. I will indicate the presence of a LED, which color you can choose for a number of occasions yourself. Below the screen there are two touch keys, marked with dots, and a Home touch button, whose fingerprint scanner is located in the middle of a ceramic glass. You can remember that the accuracy and fluidity of reading fingertips does not degrade over time, as it is very difficult to clean the Maidan. In reviewing OnePlus 2, I criticized the scanner’s performance, but there are no reasons for negativity. Everything works smoothly and clearly.

The “Dome” button, unfortunately, was not pressed, then you can link two additional functions to it from the seven presentations. The stench is activated by long pressing and pressing. In the first method I tied the connection to the screen, in the other - launching the camera. Very handy! Before speaking, you can do the same with the right-handed and left-handed touch buttons in Home.

Switching between audio modes and menus was not possible in OnePlus 2, but in OnePlus 3 it was greatly improved, you can and will need to use it. The tray on the right side is designed to accept two SIM cards in nano format, and microSD, unfortunately, is nowhere to be inserted (Chinese companies either push in hybrid trays or don’t mark them otherwise - I don’t understand).

The upper end is completely empty, but on the lower end there is a bunch of everything: a pair of speakers, a multimedia speaker, a USB Type-C socket, a microphone and an audio system. The speaker shows more volume than average and plays cleanly. The lower end of the bevels and it turns out that the dynamics of the particles are straightened down to the surface, which significantly increases the sound - but the engineers thought it through very well (the company simply designed the openings at the lower end and the effect of vibration is not the same Itny).

The Home button is smooth, there are no gaps, the mechanical keys do not play or shake. Our copy of OnePlus 3 is amazing! And I can’t attribute such a characteristic to either the HTC 10 or the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, which are almost twice as expensive (the first one has an uneven screen and the Home button is crooked, and the other has gaps between the back edge and the aluminum frame).

The color of the front side became a 5.5 "Full HD screen with Gorilla Glass 4 and an Optic AMOLED matrix. In essence, the company took the original AMOLED display, optimized the color, brightness, lighting behavior in different minds and added a beautiful description ku Optic. adjusting the white balance and night mode, which reduces the negative effect of blacklight. However, I would like to go to the section for readers (if you forgot, it will appear after pressing the collection number in the section many times). and “About phones”) and turn on the sRGB color mode there. All poorly calibrated AMOLED panels disappear and the white balance is adjusted in the warmer direction. by 5.5 "with a PenTile matrix, then Quad HD definitely looks better. However, keep in mind the price, which allows for greater clarity. Since there are 1.7 times more pixels in QHD, lower in 1080p, then the speed in games is not 2 times higher, and the energy consumption is also indicated. How can we not praise OnePlus engineers for making the right choice?

Software security

One of the main advantages of the first OnePlus was the CyanogenMod 11S firmware. This year, OnePlus and Cyanogen Inc got into a quarrel, and the Chinese manufacturer of confusion is hastily dismantling the power platform, the potential of which was evident on the OnePlus 2. I note that for China and the rest of the world, OnePlus is creating two firmwares in parallel. The global Oxygen OS is a kind of modified modification of vanilla Android, while the Chinese Hydrogen OS is even more specific and not at all similar to the stock one. The first versions of Oxygen OS for OnePlus 2 had clumsy desktops that many did not see and switched to Hydrogen OS, overcoming all the intricacies associated with it. I hasten to please you that the current version of Oxygen OS for OnePlus 3 has been well optimized and the company has already released a number of updates with high priority, in which they added rich tasks, video capture, and added an sRGB scheme And fix a bunch of minor, or even unacceptable, bugs. The streaming version of Oxygen OS (3.2.2 at the time of writing) is based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. In terms of functionality and functionality, it is already very different from vanilla Android, but the sophistication of CyanogenMod is not yet close. I like this kind of stance “Kisnyu” - here in the middle between two extremes.

The shell includes a Shelf screen, where police can display popular add-ons and requested contacts. Fortune telling, weather, and widgets are also displayed there. You can change the size and shape of icons on the desktop, select a program grid in the add-ons menu, and also add a Google search form (however, you can’t put anything in this place - it’s a glitch). On the multi-tasking screen, add-ons can be blocked during cleaning, and there, using the additional “broom,” you can activate all background processes. The curtain will contain a variety of jumpers, the order of which can be changed (otherwise it is not yet possible to remove unnecessary ones). Access to quick searches and the sales curtain by swiping up and down (can be disabled).

The settings have other gestures: activating the screen behind the second tap, launching the camera by checking the letter “O”, turning the fireman on and off with the tick “V”, controlling music. The “Screen” section has a night mode feature and the function of activating the camera by pressing the lock key. The use of the AMOLED display made it possible to implement the “black and white screen” function without any special restrictions on autonomy, so that the display can be activated when the notification is removed (you can click it by waving it over the glass).

The “Individual settings” item turns on the dark theme for the entire system (relevant for AMOLED, since pixels are simply not illuminated to display black colors) and when activated, it is possible to specify an accent color for active graphs other elements. It’s important to look at the “Buttons” item if you want to enable hardware keys, giving priority to virtual ones. Which section alternates between “recent” and “back”, there are functions for double-clicking and long-pressing all buttons at the bottom of the display.

The company did not limit the range of installed programs to just add-ons and Google services. She gave the bad guy “Gallery”, a simple music player Music (it doesn’t have any audio systems) and a file manager with the promotional name “Files”. A sufficient minimum that can be easily expanded through the Play Market.

The addition of Qualcomm's audio codec to the Snapdragon 820 was once again pleasing. Paired with the Beyerdynamic DT1770 Pro headphones, there is a significant headroom of one ear, and the sound is clean and energetic, although it is clear that 250-ohm headphones 1 + 3 are not easy to match. The Denon D600 model fit better. To my ears, OnePlus 3 sounds a little better than the Xiaomi Mi5, Sony Xperia X Performance (the “Japanese” has a weak power reserve) and much better than the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. If we compare 1 + 3 with Meizu Pro 5 with a visible booster and DAC, then the presentation of the new one is less refined, but I can’t say that the OnePlus model sacrifices much. I hope that Meizu’s new flagship can set a new bar for power.

There are a lot of people talking about the bad reception of Wi-Fi on OnePlus 3 (and it’s louder for everyone to shout about it). I downloaded the phone with Oxygen OS 3.1.3 firmware and immediately upgraded to 3.2.1, and after about an hour 3.2.2 came out. Most of the time I used 1 + 3 with firmware 3.2.2 and I can’t say anything bad about Wi-Fi - the speed of access from the Play Store reaches 6 MB per second, web pages open smoothly, connections are not wasted (up to the router wake-up close to 10 meters). Well, I read the guides on the forums and tried to get married. Judging from this, a lot of people were happy that the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has the same speed in the same Wi-Fi range at 2.4 GHz, which is the second time (I didn’t notice it on the OnePlus 3 with Wi-Fi at 5 GHz). I was less than thrilled. However, I ran a similar test (Speedtest) on Meizu MX6, Huawei P9 Plus and OnePlus 3, and showed nearly 50 Mbps for expansion and expansion. And S7 edge and Huawei Nexus 6P support up to 100 Mbit. As it turned out, the superiority of the Galaxy and Nexus 6P models lies in the support of 2X2 MIMO technology. In this mode, data is received and transmitted in two streams, which is more fluid than others. I don’t turn off that in early versions of Oxygen OS the Wi-Fi signal was destroyed or cut off, but I can’t just confirm this because I’ve been using the OnePlus 3 with the latest software. I don’t have any worries anymore. Now I want to be surprised at the impossibility of watching HD videos on YouTube that run at 50p or 60p. It's a purely Software glitch and it hasn't been fixed yet.

Camera

For the main camera, OnePlus chose a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor with a pixel size of 1.12 microns and phase focusing, added optics to the module with an f / 2.0 aperture, and also implemented an advanced stabilization system, which includes optics I think digital. At the output there is a photo module inserted, which pleases with frames in absolutely most scenarios. Frames from OnePlus 3 are characterized by good detail, correct color reproduction, moderate sharpness and high dynamic range.

The addition of a camera is simple, although the functionality is not taken away from anyone. There is a difference between HDR and HQ. Make sure to activate HDR Auto sufficiently before you have an hour to evaluate the composition, then you can turn on the HQ mode, so the camera can quickly take a few frames and align them with each other to produce one photo with a minimum of noise c. Experienced photographers appreciate the ability to save photos in RAW and manual mode by changing focus, highlight, white balance and ISO. The exposure control appears on the screen, then the brightness changes in a circular motion. A number of butts compared with competitors:

OnePlus 3 and HTC 10

OnePlus 3 and Meizu MX6

OnePlus 3 and Sony Xperia X Performance

OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

As you can see, in almost all recent photos, the flagship OnePlus showed itself to be equal or worse. One scenario, in which 1 + 3 is definitely compromised by SGS7edge, is home plots with the capture of active objects (guts and children). The frame on OnePlus 3, as a rule, takes a little longer (more than anything else, the S7 edge is noticeably brighter at f/1.7) and if the child collapses, the photo will be blurred. Of course, on the S7 edge, the oiling is also not turned on or off in any way, otherwise a similar solution is seen earlier (by the way, Meizu MX6, Pro 6, Xperia X Performance and HTC 10 in such a scenario are also no match for the Korean flagship). However, if you've caught the moment when the subject is placed sideways or poses, then the OnePlus 3 easily beats the S7 edge in terms of white balance and details. So, OnePlus, without any unnecessary claims, took and created one of the best mobile cameras.

The front cameras look good for the current Selfie parameters: 8 megapixels, pixel size 1.4 microns, f/2.0 aperture, Sony IMX179 sensor. In my opinion, OnePlus 3 performs no better than the Galaxy S7 edge, Meizu MX6 and HTC 10, but is inferior to the autofocus Xperia X Performance and Huawei P9 Plus, as well as the Xiaomi Mi5 with ultrapixels.

The main camera records video from a separate UHD source. Thanks to hybrid optical stabilization (digital + optical), the picture appears smoother, without the “aquarium effect”. The focus is clear, quick and precise. However, other objects may be unavailable, and in this case touch focus can help (the exposure can be adjusted after touching). With the first firmware of OnePlus 3, the sound was obviously lost, but in one of the remaining updates, the audio track was greatly improved. Recording on the front cameras is carried out in Full HD, the capacity is still disabled. Consider video recording to be the weak point of Chinese smartphones, but OnePlus did a great job here.

Tests and productivity

OnePlus 3 is not the first and not the only smartphone we have on our radar with the Snapdragon 820 chipset. And the more I test phones with this processor, the more I am convinced that it behaves even differently in accessories from different manufacturers c. Whereas with the HTC 10 I recorded very strong throttling and extreme heating, the OnePlus 3 demonstrated the almost constant presence of throttling and the highest fps in games that I have never been able to experience on Android phones. V did not show mercy. Xiaomi Mi5, Sony Xperia X Performance with a similar chip and the same resolution have a significantly lower frame rate per second (as well as Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with Exynos 8890, Meizu Pro 6 with MediaTek Helio X25 and Huawei P9 Plus with Kirin 955).

Dead Trigger 2 shows 50-60 fps on average, in GTA SA and Assassin's Creed Identity the frames per second values ​​are almost always 29 fps (they are not well optimized), in Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8 they stay at a stable 30 fps. Stable 60 fps is visible in Reckless Racing 3, Sky Force Reloaded, World of Tanks. New to Titan Quest and Hitman: Sniper The smoothness of OnePlus 3 allows you to play without discomfort. A number of officials have positively noted the gaming directivity of the device: excellent thermal conductivity from the 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 820 chip with Adreno 530 graphics (in games the battery temperature does not exceed 40 degrees , the phone feels a little warm), the internal memory is UFS 2.0 (64 GB), high availability of Swedish RAM (6 GB LPDDR4). Before we talk about operations. If you had been following the gadget since its inception, you suddenly felt that with the early software, 6 GB was not optimally used - the add-ons were aggressively consumed by the memory, which, of course, was not up to the standard of a flagship with such a lot of RAM. However, a couple of updates have corrected this, so now OnePlus 3 can easily store a bunch of programs in its memory.

Benchmark indicators are presented in screenshots. Return to a series of runs of AnTuTu, in which the device heroically demonstrated the increasing prevalence of throttling: 3D displays in all six tests were at 58 thousand. To put things into perspective, for Xiaomi Mi5 this indicator is up to 28 thousand, for Xperia X Performance - up to 48 thousand, for HTC 10 - up to 38 thousand. But there is only one processor and there is no overheating for 1 + 3. Why didn't they create a stink? I don’t know if competitors like HTC and Xiaomi are to blame for the stress.

A 3000 mAg battery in a phone with a 5.5 "screen was the norm in the past, but today I want a mother who wants 3500 mA. I'm afraid that the inclusion of such a life element in connection with an IPS screen would not lead to anything good, however OnePlus chose AMOLED. It did the right thing, since a smartphone without special folding devices lasts about 5-6 years on a single charge for the active screen (2.5 years in the test). 15 years, and the discharge in Asphalt 8 per year with brightness at a comfortable level of 14% (more than 7 years of continuous play!).

The real autonomy of OnePlus 3 will finally be demonstrated, so there is no need to judge the phone based on its technical characteristics on paper. However, with active charging, the phone will only last for 1-2 days, while charging Dash Charge will last only a few hours. The company confirms that the charge rises to 63% over the course of a year. For me, in 30 weeks, the value increased to 62%, which, in general, is the same. For 10 times the charge increases to 19%, for 15 times it increases to 30%, and for 100% charging it takes 1 year 10 times.

OnePlus 3 is not positioned as a flagship killer, although it honestly deserves the title. It was clear that behind the beautiful metal shell there was a very productive creature - one of the best gaming smartphones. I was also pleased with the camera and the simple firmware with a small amount of geeks (singing, gestures and tricks with buttons are unlikely to be deprived of anyone). Autonomy was not only disappointing, but actually encouraging. Honestly, I was very happy with OnePlus 3 after the less than happy news about OnePlus 2.

If you plan to spend close to 30 thousand rubles on a smartphone, then OnePlus 3 should be first on the list. For just a pittance you get a clear device with a cool grip and active, even slight, power. There are few reasons not to buy or not to look at the 1 + 3 row. For example, you need a compact phone with a small screen. Before speaking, official sales have recently begun in Russia, the RRP is 34,990 rubles (you can find something cheaper, for example, in OZON). The price has increased, isn't it?

The test price of OnePlus 3 is due to the online store GearBest.com. Remember that you can return part of the spent cash through the Letyshops Cashback service (a VIP account is provided upon registration). It is also possible to marvel at the prices for
