OnePlus 3 Review: This one is a serious flagship killer
OnePlus 3 is the third flagship smartphone from the Chinese player, and here's our full review of the new smartphone.OnePlus has been a unique company in many ways. It was among the first to decide that its single mission would be to offer a smartphone that can take on the flagship devices, but at much lower price points. it has been very successful in this endeavour with the OnePlus One, maybe a bit less so with the OnePlus 2. Now, it’s time for its third marquee device, the OnePlus 3.
Though ideally a one device a year company, OnePlus had to buckle to market pressures and offer a mid-range OnePlus X last year. However, it seems the company has realised that its strength lies in offering a phone that pushes the limits for its price point and has the bigger brands second guessing themselves. Can the OnePlus 3 do this, again?
OnePlus 3
OnePlus devices have always been about style. In fact, I would have bought the OnePlus One just for the sandstone body. The OnePlus 3 is sure stylish. In fact, it can easily pass off as an HTC flagship, which I think has been the pinnacle of smartphone design. It looks a bit too much like an HTC phone, and resembles some other models we have laid our hands on in the past few months. But that is not essentially bad.
The metallic body of the phone offers sort of assurance a plastic body never can. It is also one of the thinner devices I have used recently, but not one that will push that as its only unique identity.The square camera module in the rear with the LED flash behind it could end up being an iconic design feature like the home button or camera on the iPhone.
