He is plus 3. OnePlus smartphones. Information about other important connection technologies supported by the device

The OnePlus 3T is a newer version of the relatively impressive OnePlus 3. Currently, this smartphone can even afford to compete with the Google Pixel.

OnePlus 3T Smartphone Reviews

OnePlus 3 is the best smartphone OnePlus has released so far. Will the new model be able to compete with the original, and are all its innovations so good? You will learn about it in this review. Go!

Gorgeous minimalist OnePlus 3T design

Putting the OnePlus 3 next to the OnePlus 3T makes it almost impossible to tell them apart, at least in appearance. It's a pretty logical move as there was no point in redesigning the OnePlus 3 given that the last one came out just six months ago. Plus, the original design was great on its own.

The 3T has changed the structure of the metal shell that was on the OnePlus 2 from rough to smoother, and the overall design has become more minimalistic. The One Plus logo is embossed on the back of the device, and like the iPhone and HTC, the back cover has two darker colored lines at the top and bottom, and the camera lens is slightly raised off the body.

If you take the smartphone in hand, you can see that its sides are slightly curved and completely smooth, thanks to this, the device lies perfectly in the palm of your hand. Considering the amount of time that phones spend in the palm of a person throughout the day, this is very important. After debuting with a high level of quality and comfort, the OnePlus 3 has taken it to the next level with phones like the ZTE Axon 7 and Huawei Nova. The new OnePlus 3T may not quite live up to the ideas behind the formation of the Axon 7, but the 3T has managed to get as close as possible to the latest generation of phones.

It is worth noting that the phone is surprisingly compact. Samsung and LG have 5.1-inch and 5.3-inch screens, respectively, like the other best phones this year. While the OnePlus 3 has a 5.5-inch screen, it's barely wider than the LG G5 and only a millimeter or so longer. In addition, the smartphone is thinner and weighs 158 grams, which is almost the same weight as the G5 and S7.

Gorgeous screen and fingerprint sensor

The screen of the OnePlus 3T is covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4 protective glass, which has a curved shape, it beautifully completes the modern design. There is only a fingerprint sensor, which also acts as a home button. A two-stage switch allows you to selectively mute alerts based on their importance. This saves time and the switch itself has a new and unique look. Its placement in the upper left corner is a little out of the ordinary, but only for right-handers.

The fingerprint sensor works with amazing speed, in addition, the device has NFC, so the smartphone supports Android Pay. Even if mobile payments do not work, it is unlikely that this will be due to 3T problems, but rather to errors in the application itself.

OnePlus 3T received a 5.5-inch optical AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. What does optical AMOLED mean? OnePlus CEO Carl Pei said that the screens supplied by Samsung are equipped with a dual polarizing layer that is tuned to deliver improved color gamut and contrast. It's always been a problem on the OnePlus 3 to adjust the screen using the basic controls, but that's changed on the 3T. The picture here looks amazing, which was difficult to achieve in the OnePlus 3. If the default settings do not suit, you can always use the custom setting from warm to cool tones.

Performance level with reactive

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

It's time to turn to comparative tests. Putting the 3T against the OnePlus 3 is probably the easiest way to find any differences. AnTuTu 3D on OnePlus 3 scored 44.131 points, and the same test on OnePlus 3T turns into 166.912 points. Both ran in the same environment, without third party apps, on the latest version of the most up-to-date public release of the OxygenOS shell.

That's a big difference, and it crushes just about every other smartphone. Such high rates are present in other test programs. Geekbench 4 scored 4.133 on the OnePlus 3 and 4.390 on the 3T, while a 3DMark gaming test showed the OnePlus 3 scored 2.561 while the 3T scored 2.700.

There are some other changes that won't be immediately noticeable, but that give noticeable benefits to the new device. For example, 3T does not heat up when under load, unlike the 3rd version, and it also has an increased battery capacity - 3.400 mAh.

OnePlus 3T camera and its software

The OnePlus 3T still has the same 16-megapixel camera as its predecessor. It has an f/2.0 aperture, optical image stabilization, HDR, and a 1.28-inch sensor. However, OnePlus has debugged the software. The pictures produced by 3T are more natural and pleasing to the eye.

When taking close-up photos, blurring the background looks very nice. When HDR was activated, shadowed areas were lit up quite well without sacrificing detail. In low light conditions, a lot of detail is revealed, although it's not quite like the iPhone 7 Plus, you won't be disappointed.

As for the front camera, the OnePlus 3T has a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The powerful sensor is not so much for selfie lovers, but for live streamers who require high-definition images. And even in low light conditions, it performs well. The front camera has a simple beauty mode and features where the sensor needs to recognize smiles and activate the shutter.

Swipe right on the sensor, in camera mode, and you'll be able to access the manual settings mode, where ISO, focus, shutter speed and brightness can be adjusted to suit you. The camera software is fast and efficient.

Software and updates

The OnePlus 3T runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on the OxygenOS user interface, which slightly changes the operating system from what Google suggests. It's not a drastic change, it's closer to the way Motorola deals with Android than the heavy UI from Huawei or Samsung. Android update to version 7.0 is expected by the end of 2016, our model was with Android update from November 2016.

There are several modifications included with OxygenOS. Most notable is the "Shelf" feature, which allows you to open from the left home screen, an interface where you can find links to frequently used apps, an Android widget space, weather data, and a place to write notes. You can enable or disable this feature if you wish.

OnePlus installs its own app gallery, app file manager, music player, voice recorder, and a new Community app that gives direct access to the company's online forums. There are a lot of complaints and whining on the forums, most of which are isolated incidents, but this makes it possible to find problems on the forum if a solution was not found on the Internet.

Memory capacity and no microSD slot

Depending on which model you buy, you can get either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage, but unfortunately there's no microSD card slot to expand the storage. OnePlus decided not to go with the trend and did not add a new Dual-SIM tray feature that has the ability to use one of the memory card slots, so the 3T is strictly a dual-SIM device.

For this reason, we suggest opting for the 128GB version of the OnePlus 3T, which will last a few years given its performance before you need a replacement.

Battery life and fast charging in OnePlus 3T

While the OnePlus 3T is the same size as the OnePlus 3, it packs a larger 3,400mAh battery that lasts around a day with moderate-to-heavy usage. You can extend your battery life even more by using the feature that turns off the display of data in the background, as well as the vibrate feature.

The fast charging system works great, OnePlus claims it will charge the battery up to 60 percent capacity in just 30 minutes. Our tests showed that this was true, and we saw 60 percent in the 31st minute. A full charge was completed within an hour and 20 minutes. We have achieved the same with OnePlus 3.

Warranty, price and availability

The much hated invitation system is now a thing of the past, you can buy the OnePlus 3T through the OnePlus online store right now. The 64GB model costs $440, which is $40 more than the OnePlus 3.

OnePlus offers a good one-year warranty, defects will be repaired or a replacement device will be provided - free of charge, including shipping and handling costs. This does not cover wear or water damage. Alternatively, OnePlus offers an extended warranty plan for a year, 18 months, or two years, but that costs extra money and is only available in the US, not China.

Should You Buy OnePlus 3T?

The OnePlus 3T is powerful enough to offer a combination of high performance and style, allowing you to keep a solid piece of money in your pocket, unlike its competitors. One or two problems in the software do appear occasionally - but we hope they will be fixed in the near future. Moreover, they are not enough to cover all the advantages of this device.

The OnePlus 3T is, in our opinion, a good and powerful smartphone, without any major flaws. It's beautiful to look at, great to use, takes impressive shots, and is technically capable of being a powerful and productive device for many years to come. And all this for the price of $440 (28,000 rubles). Tempting, isn't it?

Advantages

High speed performance thanks to Snapdragon 821;
Impressive cameras;
Beautiful metal case;
Almost pure Android with regular updates;
Very fast battery charging.

In our opinion, the device turned out to be stylish and convenient. However, if you look at, you can suspect OnePlus of plagiarism.

The body of the OnePlus 3T is made of anodized aluminum. Its rear panel is one piece with the edges of the case and is slightly rounded towards the edges. The side edges, on the contrary, are slightly pointed, in contrast to the smooth lines of the back of the case. All this makes the grip pleasant and reliable; in a large palm, the gadget looks very organic.

The front panel of the smartphone is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4, made using 2.5D technology (curved at the edges). In its upper part, there is a front camera, a light sensor and a speaker slot. At the bottom, the most prominent element is the home button, which houses the fingerprint sensor. The button is fully touch, rather large. To the right and left of it are the "Back" and "Recent Applications" keys. They have a little oddity - they are highlighted with small dots, and only at the moment of pressing.

The volume control buttons are located on the left side of the case, just above them is the mode control slider. In the lower position, the normal mode is active, in the middle position, the Do Not Disturb mode is active, and in the upper position, the phone switches to vibrate mode. On the right side of the device there is a power button and a tray for two nanoSIM cards.

On the back you can see plastic inserts for antennas. There is also the main camera, which protrudes significantly from the body. Looks nice, but not very practical. We often put the phone face up, while it rests on the camera - because of this, scratches and chips can appear on it. Just above the camera is a hole for an additional microphone, and just below the LED flash. Under the flash is the OnePlus logo.

With dimensions of 152.7 × 74.7 × 7.77 mm and a weight of 161.3 grams, the smartphone can be called thin. , for example, almost a millimeter thicker, and a few grams heavier. Separately, we note that the case material almost does not get dirty, and the build quality is at the highest level - nothing dangles or creaks.

OnePlus 3T can be bought in several body colors: gray (Gunmetal) and golden (Soft gold). There is also a limited edition in black (Midnight black).

Screen - 4.6

The smartphone is equipped with a very high-quality screen made using Optic AMOLED technology.

With a diagonal of 5.5 inches, the resolution of the OnePlus 3T display is not the highest - 1920 × 1080 pixels. However, this ratio gives a density of 401 ppi, which is quite a lot and coincides with the parameters.

Color reproduction is very accurate. The color field coverage we measured completely covers sRGB and AdobeRGB, this is a very high result. A similar display is installed in . If the colors seem too bright to you, the display can be switched to sRGB mode, or calibrated yourself in the settings. Viewing angles are also good - even when viewed from a large angle, the image does not lose brightness and contrast, and color reproduction remains just as accurate. The contrast of the AMOLED display tends to infinity.

The brightness margin is not bad - 450 nits at maximum. Under direct sunlight, the display behaves with dignity - the image fades somewhat, but remains well readable. The minimum brightness of 4 nits makes it quite comfortable to use the device in the dark. Automatic brightness works well, the backlight does not jump. Unfortunately, there is no mode of operation with gloves, as well as newfangled pressure recognition. However, all this does not detract from the advantages of the OnePlus 3T display.

Cameras - 4.7

The hero of our review is equipped with high-quality 16 MP cameras each. As a rule of thumb, you expect a flagship to have great photo and video capabilities, and the OnePlus 3T did not disappoint us.

The main camera is represented by a Sony IMX298 photomodule. It has an aperture of f/2.0 and a sensor size of 1/2.8". The size of one pixel is 1.12 microns. Optical stabilization, LED flash and phase detection autofocus are also available. To begin with, we note the high speed of operation - switching between modes occurs almost instantly, the reaction the shutter button is also fast.The interface itself can be called ascetic, but everything you need is present here.Although someone may not like the lack of a large number of different special effects.

Auto mode allows you to take good pictures in daylight. Focusing is accurate, errors, if any, are rare in the operation of the focus. Photos are well detailed and clear. The colors in the pictures in some cases come out a little brighter than natural, but this is not so noticeable, so do not consider this a disadvantage. It is possible to shoot in RAW, as in professional . This allows you to fine-tune the color balance settings in Adobe Photoshop or other similar programs on your computer. When shooting at night, the quality of the photo drops somewhat, noise appears. This is where the HQ mode comes to the rescue, significantly raising the brightness of pictures at dusk. There will be less noise, more detail. We also note the HDR mode, which works well on the machine and allows you to take pictures with a large number of colors and shades. In manual mode, ISO adjustments are available in the range from 100 to 3200, the lighting level, shutter time and focal length are also adjusted.

Video recording is possible in 4K resolution (3840×2160 pixels) at 30 frames per second, in Full HD (1920×1080) at 60 frames per second and in HD (1280×720). There is a slow motion mode, but in it the frame resolution drops to 1280 × 720, and the frame rate remains at 30. Strangely enough, usually in slow motion, the frame rate increases to 120, and in general to 960.

The front camera has an aperture of f/2.0, a pixel size of 1.0 microns and a fixed focal length. It allows you to get well-detailed pictures with natural colors. Video recording is possible with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.

OnePlus 3T Camera Photos - 4.7

Photos from the front camera OnePlus 3T - 4.7

Working with text - 5.0

The smartphone comes pre-installed with Gboard, a convenient and highly customizable keyboard from Google. A large number of settings are available in it - keyboard height, theme, additional input languages. It supports continuous and voice input, as well as a layout with various emoticons. There is also a user dictionary function - when the keyboard remembers unfamiliar words. In the future, this dictionary can be synchronized between other devices with Gboard, for example, with .

Internet - 5.0

The main browser out of the box is Google Chrome. It is unnecessary to say anything about the most popular mobile browser. Let us briefly recall its main functionality. It can compress traffic, save bookmarks, store your passwords and autofill data, and also has an "Incognito" mode - when your data is not transmitted to the Internet.

OnePlus 3T's screen size allows you to comfortably browse the web.

Communications - 5.0

OnePlus 3T has a set of communications and various sensors to match any flagship. The lack of FM radio may be frustrating for some, but in the age of 4G, online radio stations are successfully replacing it. It is also worth noting the USB connector - it is made in the Type-C form factor, but in the old version of the 2.0 protocol.

The smartphone is equipped with the following set of communications:

Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA
Bluetooth 4.2
GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou
USB Type-C
accelerometer
gyroscope
compass.

Multimedia - 4.4

The OnePlus 3T's multimedia capabilities are on par with other flagships. The earpiece delivers speech loudly and clearly. The music speaker can sound up to 80 dB, so the call melody is clearly audible even in a noisy place. The built-in gallery can play many video formats, but there are no playback settings.

Only good things can be said about the sound in the headphones. The sound characteristic is quite flat over the entire audible frequency range. There is enough power even for serious ones with a resistance of 64 ohms or more. There are branded "improvers" that allow you to customize the sound for yourself. The smartphone has no genre preferences; both instrumental compositions and electronic music will sound equally good in headphones.

Battery - 3.9

The battery life of the OnePlus 3T is not bad. The battery charge will surely be enough for a full day of work, which is typical for modern flagship devices.

During tests, watching videos at maximum brightness drained the battery in just over 12 hours. As a music player, the smartphone was able to play music for about 50 hours without interruption. We managed to talk on the phone for almost 30 hours in a row. The indicators are not bad, comparable to.

With everyday use, the smartphone will ask you to charge it in a day and a half. It is understood that during this time you make several calls, check your mail, communicate in instant messengers and social networks, listen to music. If you add games and watching videos online to this scenario, you will need to charge your smartphone by the evening. But still, given the 3400 mAh battery, it could be better.

The OnePlus 3T comes with a special charger that is compatible with proprietary Dash Charge fast charging technology. This is OnePlus proprietary technology and is not compatible with other common standards. It allows you to charge your smartphone battery from 0 to 60% in half an hour, and a full charge will take about an hour.

Performance - 4.7

The smartphone has excessive performance and easily copes with heavy applications and games at maximum graphics settings.

OnePlus 3T is equipped with a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor. They enhance the efficiency of the processor and 6 GB of RAM, coupled with the Adreno 530 video accelerator. The system interface literally “flies”, applications run quickly, without any slowdowns.

Synthetic tests showed the following results:

Geekbench 4 - 4262 points. At 800 points less, there is a good optimization in OnePlus 3T.
AnTuTu 6 - 151629 points. The Samsung Galaxy S7 has 129,842. A noticeable difference is the larger amount of RAM in the hero of our review.
3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited - 31036 points. A little more than Xiaomi Mi5s.

Heating under load is moderate - the metal case, which conducts heat well, affects. With intensive use, the back panel becomes warm, the temperature rises to 30-32 degrees. Very good result, it is comfortable to hold the device in hands.

Memory - 3.5

The smartphone is available in two versions:

64 GB internal memory
128 GB internal memory.

There is no possibility to install a memory card, and in our opinion, this is a clear shortcoming of the model. If you take a lot of photos or store your music collection in the phone's memory, then 64 GB may not be enough. But even buying the "older" version carries some limitations - OnePlus 3T 128 GB is available only in gray design.

Peculiarities

The smartphone runs OxygenOS, a slightly modified version of . The changes here are more cosmetic, but there are also interesting features. For example, gesture recognition when the screen is off. If you draw the letter “O” on the screen with your finger, the camera will be launched, the letter “V” will activate the flashlight. The music player control is implemented in a similar way. Vertical "swipe" with two fingers will start or pause playback, and by drawing "<» или «>”, you can switch the song being played.

The operation of the fingerprint sensor is clear and fast. Touches are recognized from any angle.

A review of the Oppo subsidiary device has already been published on the site. But everyone has their own view. In mine, I will try to supplement it with some details about the technical characteristics of the device in its version for the Chinese market.

The OnePlus 3 is another flagship killer from China, a 5.5-inch smartphone with top specs and not too high a price. And it's not just about the characteristics, the manufacturer is trying to keep the bar, diversify the design and add chips typical for flagships like a fingerprint scanner, a new type C USB connector, and so on.

We will test the smartphone when it is available in Russia, but in the meantime, we will acquaint you with the opinion of GSMArena specialists who have already tested the device.

The OnePlus 3 stands out for its top-notch performance (no kidding, 6GB of RAM), quality cameras and screen, and thin metal body. At the same time, it does not have flagship autonomy, and there is also no slot for a memory card.

Whether this is enough or not is up to the consumer. OnePlus 3 is a good smartphone choice for those who need a powerful device with a thin body, a large high-quality screen, and who are ready to recharge their smartphone every day.

Dimensions and design

GSMArena experts liked the design of the OnePlus 3, although others found it boring.

In principle, there are no particular flaws in the design of the phone, except perhaps for the large size due to the 5.5-inch diagonal. At the same time, OnePlus 3 is one of the thinnest flagships with a thickness of only 7.4 mm. To be precise, the dimensions of the smartphone are as follows: 152.7 × 74.7 × 7.35 mm, weight – 158 grams, not bad for such a diagonal. It's comparable in size to the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (though it's slightly thicker) and in weight to the LG G4 or Huawei Honor 5X. The OnePlus 3 fits comfortably in the palm of your hand thanks to the rounded edges, but it's a bit awkward to use with one hand. The back of the smartphone is made of aluminum that is pleasant to the touch and resembles the HTC One M9, only with the camera lens protruding slightly outwards. It is unusual to use a key atypical for Android devices, which is located directly above the volume rocker. This is a mode switch, like on iPhones. But unlike the latter, it has not two, but three positions - there is a transition between silent and sound modes, only priority alerts will sound. Like most modern flagships, OnePlus 3 received a fingerprint scanner hidden in a key below the display.

OnePlus 3 can be bought in two colors: gray and gold.

Display

According to experts, the display of OnePlus 3 turned out to be of high quality, bright and clear, it is well read in the sun.

The smartphone screen parameters are as follows - 5.5 inches, AMOLED display and Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels). The pixel density is 401 per inch, which is enough for a clear image. The screen brightness rises to 433 nits, the contrast can be considered infinite. The viewing angles of the display are wide, and it is perfectly readable in the sun. Color accuracy turned out to be average by the standards of the flagships, but it is almost imperceptible to the eye.

Performance

OnePlus 3 is one of the performance leaders thanks to 6 GB of RAM, a top-end chipset and a moderate display resolution.

High performance has always been important for OnePlus smartphones, so it's up to the mark this time around. The phone received the top chipset of 2016 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (two cores at 2.15 GHz plus two at 1.6 GHz), which is used in many flagships, for example, in Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe and Xiaomi Mi5. As for the OnePlus 3, in most benchmarks it ranks among the leaders of various ratings. And finally, we can say that the smartphone just works quickly and effortlessly copes with any games and applications.

Camera

OnePlus 3 received high-quality cameras at 16 and 8 MP. According to GSMArena experts, they are quite consistent with the level of the flagships of 2016, that is, they shoot well.

The main camera of OnePlus 3 received a Sony IMX298 sensor, it is not the most top-end, but suitable for top-end smartphones. By the way, the same is used in Huawei Mate 8 and Xiaomi Mi5. The dimensions of individual pixels are small - 1.12 microns, but the camera has a fairly wide aperture (f / 2.0), and there is also an optical stabilization system and phase focusing. In terms of shooting quality, it is still inferior to giants like the Samsung Galaxy S7, but it does its job well. So, it has good detail with a reasonable level of noise. Auto HDR works correctly, always guessing when it needs to turn on. Among other things, OnePlus3 can shoot 4K video.

The 8MP front camera does a pretty good job of taking selfies, but is inferior to the leaders in mobile shooting.

Communications

The OnePlus 3 smartphone received a flagship set of communications:

high-speed dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac with Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA support
Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy with A2DP
support for LTE Cat.6 (up to 300 Mbps)
NFC chip
A-GPS with GLONASS support
two NanoSIM cards
new USB Type-C connector.

Only FM radio is missing, and someone may not have enough infrared port to control home appliances.

Battery

OnePlus 3 shows average battery life.

The capacity of the non-removable battery is 3000 mAh, which is a good indicator, but with such a screen diagonal there are more. In a standardized test from GSMArena, the phone lasted 66 hours. For comparison, HTC 10 has the same amount, while Huawei P9 and Xiaomi Mi5 have more - 75 and 92 hours, respectively. That is, the results of OnePlus 3 are not that impressive. In some usage scenarios, the operating time of the novelty turned out to be quite good - almost 33 hours of talk time (a lot), almost 14 hours of video viewing (too much) and 8 hours of browsing (already not enough). But OnePlus 3 supports fast charging, up to 60% in half an hour, while it does not overheat.

Memory

OnePlus 3 has 64GB of built-in storage. There are no other modifications for today, just as there is no slot for a memory card. However, 64 GB should be enough for most users.

Peculiarities

The OnePlus 3 is running Android 6.0, but with proprietary Oxygen 3 firmware, slightly different from stock Android.

The features of the phone include a metal case, a fingerprint scanner and a mode switch button (silent / priority signals only / normal). You can also note the possibility of customization - up to setting the operation of buttons and notification indicators.

Competitors

For the summer of 2016, OnePlus is sold at a price of about 33,000 rubles. With its characteristics, let's call Xiaomi Mi5 and Asus Zenfone 3 as competitors.

Xiaomi Mi5 is a more compact smartphone with a smaller screen, better battery life and, in our opinion, a more interesting design. In terms of cameras and performance, phones have parity. Otherwise, the devices are very similar, except that Xiaomi Mi5 also has an infrared port and it costs a little less.

The Asus Zenfone 3 is another 5.5-inch phablet with roughly the same dimensions. It also has a fingerprint scanner, the same battery capacity and premium case materials. The OnePlus 3 stands out above all for its higher performance. Asus Zenfone 3 boasts a more affordable price tag and the presence of a slot for a memory card.
