is this normal?

when using wifi/4g in my house, i watched video, browsed fb and even shared internet and all. below i'll give my observations:

in wifi:

watching video, fb and browsing, whatsappin: the phone get very very slightly warm like not warm just the bit different from the phones usual temp like it hovers around 33-34.

when gaming in wifi it goes arounf 36-39 (NOVA 3) battery never crossed 31..

4g in my house, battery arounf 32-33, temperature around 37-39 for all.

but when i step out of my house, like when i'm operating my mobile in train/bus and the ambient temperature varies from say 28-32, my phone gets considerably hot and today, i was travelling in Bus and the ambient temp was around 35 and i was just browsing , watching videos and fb, my phone became hot like it even would have touched 43-46! i felt it hot to touch, is this norma(it's making me extremely paranoid)l!!??? if this is the case what happens if it's summer here, the phone would become blazingly hot, coz in summer ambient temp would be around 36-44 and all!! and just browsing in chrome, whatsapp & fb evenin while travelling say ambient temp is around 26 gets the phone warm that in minutes and it'd go upto 40-41, that the the area near the earpiece is making me paranoid, so i just lock the phone, it immediately cools down to ambient temp and agan when i unlock, in seconds it's warming up..

today I was playing NOVA 3 connected to wifi in an ambient temperature of 25C, 5-10mins into gaming, CPU reaCHED A MAX OF 41c and at around 20 it maintaining at 43 but jumping sometimes 45.. this is gaming, but i get the same temperature just browsing in knda same ambient temp while I'm travelling. and also browsing in wifi/4g(fb,insta,chrome) in my house in ambient 25-27 gets the phone phone to 35-37... and the rest of the pat of the mobile is cool, even the back side is normal, only the small portion between the earpiece..

why is this happening? is this normal(it'd be great if you guys clear this)?

Is this normal or am i unlucky for the second time ? I'm getting paranoid!

and by the way how do you guys sense the temperature, like keeping the palm on screen?(I know it's a ridiculous question, but curious)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] flashingrom84:
Same. I don't play games but when watching say 20 minute video clips it's never been more than mildly warm. Certainly nothing to be concerned about.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Rickyzx:
My OnePlus 3 is perfectly fine in overheating issue. I never played Asphault 8 on my phone but played other heavy games but no over heating problem occured till now.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] r4wky:
my phone gets heated up sometimes around camera area on top, does anyone face this issue.??

also i dont play any heavy games or such. And my battery gets drained way too quickly.

[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kerymercury:
recently my phone started to heat up during phone calls only. Not sure whats going on :confused:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] xicombiz:
Mine some time get hot while playing games , Not when charging so i stop playing games on my one plus 3
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] msvr3:
i've resetted twice and still, today when in call, it started becoming a bit warm during call.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kavuris99:
Please help,

I have the same problem .. Oneplus 3 purchased 24th Dec 2016, speaker at EAR (earpiece) heats up too much while on call and I am not able to hold the phone close to my ear after 5 minutes talking during phone call. After calling Oneplus support and wiping cache.. heat reduced but still at level where we get irritation in ear after 10-15 min of call.. haven't used extensively so didn't come across any other heat issue on phone. Should i replace. ? please suggest me on this one. I have only a week left to replace.﻿
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kerymercury:
The heat issue seems to be gone now. And my phone is back to normal again. I reflashed the firmware
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] parabvidit:
never had any excessive heating problems with this phone....... it stays way cooler than the moto g 4+
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Vakke:
Rooting the device and using L Speed have lowered my phone temps even on long gaming sessions. It helps on many occasions and you can monitor ylur temps with Device control app
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] xkid30:
reflashed the firm in sense clean install??
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kingcandy1:
so what's the normal temperature range, your phone is in when browsing and norml usage like watching video?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Sir Backe:
This is the worst thing you can do for a battery. Using it with heavily load (for example games) during charging. This will damage your battery more than anything else.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

my OP3 is between 24 and 28° during normal use.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kingcandy1:
what might be your ambient temperature?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Sir Backe:
Well at the moment I must say it's quite cold. Inside something around 22°, outside it's all the day and night through below 0°.

But what I wanted to say is, that I rarely have a problem with an overheated phone. There were very few moments over the past 6 months where I felt that the OP is "hot". May be due to some apps getting crazy or something like that. After a reboot it normally has gone.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kingcandy1:
mine goes around41-43 while borwsing, while ambient around 28-32, is that ok?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Sir Backe:
I think this is no problem, as long as it goes down when not in use. It always depends on which processes are running, but in my opinion, 41-43 is not that much.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kingcandy1:
for me, the problem is even sometimes for normal use, cpu cores fluctuating to max and down, like frequently fluctuating, u say 41-43 not much, but the screen becomes considerably warm or sometimes a bit hot,.. coz for an ambient say 28-20 itself it's this much, I live in a place, where it can touch 35-40 easily, won't it make the phone more hot.

generally how much degree whatsapp can raise while using.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] HIshan Pavidu:
+ country/city weather matters
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
It could be my imagination but I remember this phone running much cooler. It could be because it's getting warmer outside, and I bought the phone in the mid of winter. Doesn't get nearly as hot as my 6p or my note 4, but it does get a little warm by the earpiece.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] 8hodgsonkh:
This phone is really good with heat because it throttles the cpu down at a lower temp to avoid getting that hot it takes ages to cooldown (Like my xperia m4 is terrible for heat and even if i switch it off it takes ages to cooldown) so if a phone doesnt get very hot in the first place it wont stay hot at all
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kmr168401:
Phone is much better in battery

Hi, oneplus3 is my first android phone actually my previous mobile is blackberry z10 which is horrible experience battery wise but is wise it is the best. But anyway I come to he fact after using this oneplus3 I really proud to I made a good choice because when I watching any TV channel via jiotv application for almost complete one hour I lost only 8% battery only. According to my novice user standard it is better and great to have by the way I am not used boardband available in my home, I used jio 4g service to watch. Seriously this is my best experience in mobile internet wise and battery discharge wise. I am really thanking oneplus3 company to manufactured this mobile.:D:laugh:

Too much heat issue
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the OnePlus 3's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] remydlc:
sucks on this department when compared to those of samsung, iphone or nexus 6p, but is alright... average at best.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] thanhnvt194:
did well at low light

took in my trip, 6p.m with auto, no flash and auto hdr
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] FroyoShark:
Low light video (fireworks) [youtube]I1NT2Vsk2pA[/youtube]
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] alexisjmz:
even my old xperia Z3, with all the bad feedback that the camera had, takes better photos in low light conditions.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Fatherboard:
I'm noticing a pink cast on the corners (worse on the lower right) when trying to take low-light indoors shots.

There's an example which shows what I'm talking about (I made an extreme exposure on purpose in order to make the cast stand out, but you can clearly see it during live preview before taking the shot).

Is my unit defective? Please tell me I'm not the only one :(
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] karliyo:
Pretty sure I have that too. Only visible when using extreme exposure.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] jocaboss:
This should be high iso values. Next time try change to manual mode and put iso manually.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Fatherboard:
I know what I'm saying - leave the iso as it is (auto) and play with the shutter speed - between 1/250 and higher the pink cast should be at its peak (given the situation you're indoors).
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] GTRanushka:
Check this out. Photo was taken around 10PM at a camping night. I'm happy about it's camera performance. But lowlight crowded scenes could get blurry. I would rate lowlight camera performance for OnePlus3 8/10 if he S7edge gets 10/10.

Neither too good nor too bad.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MilanStojkovic:
I think this camera is pretty good in low light. I got some nice (for phone camera) shots using manual settings. First one is taken at midnight, no lights but the moon. Second one from fishing pier, I couldn't even see houses on the beach with my eyes, but sensor actually caught it. Third one is full moon and bioluminescent ocean.

These are all taken without any artificial light. I think this camera has potential.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Just nice..

Manual mode, iso 400, 0.5-1 s shutter speed.. No edit.. Just stock camera..
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] M3ntoR:
IMHO low light photos are amazingly good. Much, much better than my old OP2. Here is an example. Deep night with medium city lights.

Auto mode with HQ

View attachment 3939333
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] 2x4:
can anyone here perhaps explain in simple terms how to use manual mode, in particular ISO?

I use manual mode sometimes but the only thing I change is exposure time in order to get more light into photos in low light scenarios, but I see others modifying ISO as well and I'm not sure why or why not to do that
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] AcmE85:
The higher the iso, the lighter the picture.

But at the same time a higher iso means more noise.

If possible without shaking the phone it is always better to shoot at the lowest iso

and use a longer shutter speed.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] GTRanushka:
Do not worry about iso if you are not shooting a quick object. Like moving thing. Just adjust shutter speed and let the camera adjust other settings. Find out maximum exposure time you can get without a tripod. Play with E. Time to get the best out of night photos. Increase iso incase of you want to capture quick shot. It would be grainy, but less motion blur. :good:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] vicusbass:
Usually blurry mess, totally unacceptable. Sure manual settings + tripod, you can make artistic shots, but in day to day use, this camera (or the algorhytms behind) is total rubbish
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] gordito_gr:
its (much) worse than my previous Nexus 5x.

People here using manual settings are just kidding us.

I appreciate a good manual mode but auto performance is what i want and 1+3 fails miserably here. Night shots are terrible, my 5x (same sensor with Nexus 6p) beats it by a large margin.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] humzaahmed155:
Well. It's definitely better than the iPhone 7 and 6S camera that's for sure. I was shocked to see how poor it's low light performance was.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] parabvidit:
manual mode works well on oneplus 3...........you just need to keep it on timer
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] rouyal:
Huh? I'm sitting here with both. In my den with only a lamp. The 6s is way better low light than OP3. OP3 is dark, green tinted, and trying to denoise too much. 6s is actually decent all around, not even struggling.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Fille84:
Oh please....
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] humzaahmed155:
Are you mad? My sister uses my OP3 for her Instagram blog because her iPhone 6S doesn't take good lowlight shots. If someone that knows nothing about phones or cameras can point that out that's going to damn well be my benchmark.. HDR is even better.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Fille84:
No but you clearly are. I have both an op3 and iPhone 7 and I can tell you it destroys the op3 in low light, I repeat destroys.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] humzaahmed155:
Oh well. The iPhone 7 camera isn't even anything to write home about anyway. Yes it's exceptional, but there's still a range of better phone cameras out there.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] shriom_manerker:
New camera blobs definitely improved the picture quality

Im on the latest ressurection remix 2/1/2017 unofficial test rom and im very happy with the picture quality.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] jackmcleassig:
i did a comparison to SGS7Edge in different low light situations!

After all it's absolutely dependent on the situation of light.

tungsten light landscape are way better on the oneplus i therm of sharpness, noise and colors

night shots are better on the samsung, especially when there is a movin object ==> OP is always blurry, that sucks
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] whitefang3456:
Manual Mode ISO 100, 10 secs shutter, Infinite Focus.

Some tweaks in Exposure,Brightness,Colors and Noise Reduction via PS.

This is probably one of my best phone for replacing DSLR to edit images. Sorry if bad shots !
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] chinmai560621:
You have to agree that its way better than that of 6s, be it low light be it daylight. HDR is also better. But i7, NO WAY. HQ might be able to bring it close but no beating 7.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] tnttrx:
it seems that OP has put OIS on OP3 and realized camera can now handle 1/25 or even 1/17s exposures when shooting from hand. it gives nice boost in pic quality reducing noise, as ISO can be kept lower while shooting indoors and/or in evenings.

but, OIS helps with camera/phone/hand shake only.

it doesn't help with kids running around and even doesn't help with them posing for a photo without being completely frozen in place.

real life result of OP optimization is great, clear and noiseless background of the picture, and almost always blurry characters in it.

I would really like to have a lower ISO and longer exposure times for some scenery mode. HQ mode could be used also.

on the other hand, normal Auto mode should be able to catch every-day non-completely-static events, while keeping exposure close to 1/60 or shorter. switching to Manual and fixing exposure each time you want to make some quick photo is just no go!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] GTRanushka:
This guy gets it. This camera is great for me to capture landscape and still items. If i want to capture a moving object i know auto mode is gonna screw me a big time. So i always set desired sutter speed manually. I know most of you don't use manual mode. But i love it.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] tnttrx:
manual is cool, but I cannot every time yell:

"kids, freeze! I just have to turn on camera, slide right, switch to manual and set shutter speed! that's right, now you can continue running and jumping..."

the moment is gone. :eek:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] GTRanushka:
haha.. I know. Manual doesn't go well with kids. Well since I don't have kids yet and interested in scenic photographs, this suits me. ( coz I can't afford a LG G5 ) :p

Maybe the Pixel is the best to you. (It is the best of course) So Kids wont have to freeze randomly just for a photo :p :silly:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] paok4270:
Camera is great in low light...try hq mode
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] tnttrx:
yes, HQ is great for absolutely STATIC objects.

so, mostly just for synthetic photo comparison without too much real-life worth
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] tnttrx:
any improvement with OOS 4.1.0 ?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] pablo216:
I would also like to know before updating...
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] nggroup247:
i think so. :D i like photo in low light
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
It's all right, but has nothing on the nexus 6p in low light.

Almost dark...taken with light painting

[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] koko21341:
On low light the camera is quite bad.

When I choose HQ/HDR the flash is not active.

Only when both are off the flash can be used....

I'd rater use my g2 camera

[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] maamiradina:
can you post some sample screenshots of camera here?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] taphius:
So far medium to high brightness takes excellent photos. I am finding HD much more appealing than HDR in most situations. In low light HD or manual mode must be used to get an acceptable photo. HD works very well in a single 13w(cfl) light illuminates room (low bedroom light level).

Soft fine grain present in photo, but it is not distracting and plenty of detail left.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] vacs03:
So I opened the hidden service menu *#808# and went through al the test and when I came at the "optical image stabilizer" it says failed...anyone else has this? Could it be software disabled or is my camera faulty?

here is a picture for comparison
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] mir bilal:
nice but doesnt quite compare with nexus 6 p
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] fix-this!:
I dont use the camera much but i do know it seems better than my wifes s6.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] altayeb hoota:
this phone has super hd camera the best thing i like on it
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] mDaniel:
Camera seems to be very compareable to my 6S Plus. In low light the iPhone does a slightly better job, in good lighting the 1+3.

The stabilisation for video is much better in the iPhone.

Important tip for making the most out of the 1+3 camera...if you want to take a good macro, you cannot rely on automatic mode. Switch to manual focus, dial it all the way down, and you'll get insane macros like this:

When looking at photos other people have taken with the OP3 it often looks like they have a watercolour filter on them when you zoom in due to the image processing, but some other images don't. Is anyone who has the device able to explain this?

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] laz3r69:
Really great pics!! ?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] matze19999:
my pics
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] remydlc:
After testing the OP3 and my 6P, the SD820 could be a beast, but man the pics on the 6P are much much better, specially in a low light environment AKA where most pictures happen AKA in your house. I cant say i am dissapointed, its pics are good in daytime and average in low light for a "$400 phone". But not sure I am going to keep it. So if you are planning on dumping your Galaxy, 6P or iphone for this phone, you might want to wait for another one if the camera is that important to you.

Hope this helps someone.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the OnePlus 3 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Video quality is okay, nothing great. The stabilization could be better. I also don't like that there is no 1080p/60 option.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] feis:
You got any sample? And i think none of the latest flagships support 1080p60fps, dont know why
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] abelvarela:
Techradar said you can record 1080p 60fps with other camera app, like open camera.

Anyone can test it?

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] B1nny:
I gave open camera a shot and set it to 60fps, it doesn't actually do it, sadly enough. I've tried it both at the default bitrate (~20) and forced it to 5 mbit, both on the old api and the new camera2 api, nothing.

I'm not entirely certain what OP's reasoning behind no 60fps recording is anyway, I hope they'll add it in an update since AFAIK there's no hardware limitations which wouldn't allow it.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] feis:
Htc 10, lg g5, htc 10, nexus 6p, xiaomi mi 5, none of these offer 60fps. Actually i think of all recent flagships only s7 is capable, i dont know reasons behind this decision of oems
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] abelvarela:
I have an old hardware Zuk Z1 (snapdragon 801, same hardware as oneplus one) and it CAN record great quality 1080p 60fps.

With my Zuk I have low cost phone with great battery, very good responsive, customizable software, and a video resolution I CAN'T GET WITH NEW 2016 FLAGSHIPS.

incomprehensible.

Specially because that is the only reason I don't renew my phone.

But I would be happy to buy oneplus 3 of they add full HD 60fps non slowmotion video recording.

Hope they add it.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Psych0_D0g:
Anyone can test Video Recording in a really Loud environment?

Like for example a Rave or Concert?

Since the OPO, OP2 and the OPX all had serious issues with audio clipping on such occasions im very curious if OnePlus finally fixed this issue in theyre newest phone
