[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Joshmccullough:
I'm very happy with the OP3, moved up earlier this month from my trusty Nexus 5 and it's a world of difference in terms of fluidity and speed. The fingerprint sensor's a nice addition; if it wasn't there I wouldn't miss it, but it adds a very convenient touch to the phone (hey, OnePlus....release the Pocket Mode source code already!!! :) ). My wife's on the fence about getting an OP3 or waiting for the new Nexus; she likes the thinness of the OP3 compared to the Nexus, but isn't completely sure the larger screen will be a good fit for her hand(s). That they're making a 5" version of the next Nexus might be the tipping point, but either way she wins.

The Dash Charging is incredible, I charge it once a day, if that, and I can usually toss it on the charger at work in the last hour and have it back at 100% by the end of the day. I've stopped putting it on the charger at home overnight while I sleep; it's usually in the mid- to high-80%s by that time, and it doesn't hardly lose any power overnight just sitting on my desk.

Love my 1+3 (one plus three). Amazing device, HUGE upgrade from Samsung galaxy s5 Mini which was a mistake purchase (gave that to a relative for free :), to a family member). This phone is amazingly fast, fluid, snappy, POWERFUL. Premium build quality aluminum, oh my god... 399€ Price. Upper mid range price or so. It's amazing and worth every cent. Dash Charging is VERY FAST, super fast!! Battery also seems to last well right now, 3000mah is not bad at all, great.

Weakest point is the camera software and camera itself, you cant change the resolution of photos at least, maybe videos you can. Photo/Video quality is not bad at all, its good, just not upto samsung flagship cameras of course. Not many settings like that but manual mode is there (y). The fingerprint scanner sensor is GREAT. Better than SG5SMini, where I didnt use the fingerprint feature or it was iffy when I used it. This phone fingerprint sensor is so fluid and opens up my phone from sleep with that. Beautiful and so fluid motion, working of the machine.

Soft Gold 64GB Version. I am running completely stock, not rooted, so far. Might consider rooting and flash a ROM but not sure. Stock works so good already, all good. I will look at a glass screen protector, and a case of some sort (slickwraps etc stickers on the back is possible as well...).

I can only recommend this phone so much. I love it. Professional, fast, nearly flawless, top notch, as good as they come. Huge value and bang for buck/euro/pound etc.... 5 Stars. OnePlus Family <3

Was it worth it?I have s7 edge was thinking doing same?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] BG64:
I too came from the G4 (albeit the unlockable H815 model) but I have to agree, the G4 was a mistake on my part. Then the G4 I had ended up breaking, and I needed a phone on the cheap. I went OnePlus and it's the best decision I've ever made. If only I had an SD card, it would be absolutely 100% perfect. Even without an SD card slot, though, I still have to rate the phone 5 stars. Amazing amazing amazing.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] yoramweil:
Best decision

Just sold my note 5 and bought with a little extra the 1op3. Such a relief. being stuck with Touch Wiz for over a year is a real punishment. Absolutely great phone. the only reservation is the screen - Alas, Samsungs are better. But from any other aspect there is nothing to compare. So fun again to unlock boot loaders, root etc'.... and no bloat, thanks god!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] piotrkruczek:
Love it.

Design is superb

Thickness is amazing.

Love the notification switch.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MrClaret:
The one plus 3 is just a perfect phone, a massive improvement on a one plus 2. I really think this company is going somewhere with an excellent product
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Fir3blade:
The phone is far from being perfect, mostly because of the buggy software.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MrClaret:
Never experienced any problem, compared to the one plus 2 it really is perfect
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] alois72:
:good::good::good:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Tiz92:
Which bugs? Please... And if you encounter some, just flash a custom rom if you want because this is THE developer phone beside the nexus.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Sir Backe:
These guys from Oneplus are amazing. They think about which things are important to use a phone, and then they realize it.

Best handling, best software. And the really best: no touchwiz and bloatware.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] wlagalvez:
i kind of disagree with you. I have lg g4 since last year, i was pretty happy with the phone and software experience since i got a boot-loop. i sent to lg and they sent me a new one because was their manufacturing problem and it was on warranty. i like (not love) the g4 because of IR blaster and other features phones don't have like swapable battery and otg connection. I hope not to get any other software issues and if possible i will keep it until next year or when other phone with ir blaster and interchangeable battery comes up
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] sparklingapps:
love it

great phone
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] ziozxzioz:
Just got it last saturday and I'm already falling for it. I came from a Nexus 5 which died and then switched to a chinese THL crappy phone, it's refreshing to have android 6 again.

The only "complaint" I have it's that it's a little bit too big. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but just a bit smaller 5.3'' display COULD'VE been better (not sure).

I'm a little sad that I got the gold version (graphite was sold out). The back doesn't bother me but having a white front makes it seem much uglier when the screen is turned off.

Anyway, great phone all around, looking forward to getting a stable Android 7.0 in this one :)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Pie.:
I like the OnePlus 3 so far. However out of the box I did have some problems with Oxygen OS.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] m3lover1:
Just got it last night. Came from note 7. Loving the phone so far. Several things I wish were different:

- Wish the power button was textured like the alert slider.

- Wish it was a little bit heavier.

- Vibration motor is weak.

- Wish it had dual stereo speakers.

- Coming from using 2k screens ever since the LG G3 first had it, it does take a bit of adjusting coming back to 1080p. Wish it had 2k screen, but I can deal with it.

- Wish the bezels were smaller. Note 7 much better in terms of bezels

Other than that I'm in love. Going to return the note 7 (I am still smitten with the note 7's design and how it looks and holds, and the really small bezels). Also currently have ZTE axon 7, very good phone but going to return that one and keep the oneplus 3.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] hp13:
note 7 display is extra ordinary and camera is also far better than one plus 3. but with the price point one plus 3 is an awesome device. Its a well balanced phone in terms of hardware and software.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] m3lover1:
I agree on the screen. That note 7 screen is just on another level. I'm coming to grips with this screen though. Only issue I'm battling now is Google services staying awake and eating up my battery.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] HIshan Pavidu:
I had the same problem with my g4 and i bought it from local shop
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Alamien:
Overall the best device I ever owned. Coming from a Nexus 5, you can feel the difference. Everything is better, one thing I miss is the nexus 5 form factor, feels kind of big at first but now i'm getting used to it.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Jogutierrez:
I like its 6G RAM, Impressive
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] H@wK11:
Oneplus is my love ?❤
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] TheCopyright:
When I was deciding what phone I had to buy, I didn't know which one between OnePlus 3, Xiaomi Mi 5 and more and more... Then I realized: why should I take a phone for his software (MIUI 8, my favourite ROM... it's awesome!) when I can buy one and get how many ever ROMs I want? You can get the point. OnePlus 3 is... no words.

P.S. Today I flashed MIUI 8 on it. Now I have a Mi 5 into it :cool:
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kishore1997:
Require a suggestion guys, I bought a Oneplus 3 around 3 months back and fell in love with it but unfortunately it was stolen :( and all i could do was give a complaint but i have lost faith almost that i might get that back, now planning on a new phone with the same budget as oneplus 3 so i was wondering whether I should get one again or might wait for something else! Really confused :v
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] skaze193:
oneplus3ftw

Recently bought one, and i luv it !
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] borijess:
Why did you pick the one plus over the axon 7?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] mapolidori:
I retired my OnePlus One to exclusively use it for experimentation. It's still going strong, but I figured it was about time to get a new device. I'm loving the 3. It's everything I expected, and more, from researching before buying. The only thing that has bothered me at all about this device is possibly a non problem. I can wobble the white part of the charging cable while it's in my phone. Only a small amount. Left to right, up and down. It has a solid connection, and never stops charging, so I'm wondering if it's a design feature. Maybe the movement is like a buffer, in case you trip on the cable or something while it's charging. Not sure, but it definitely feels different from when I plug in the micro USB on my old phone. If it's normal, great, but if not, I'm worried that after some use, it might become a problem.

Anyone else notice this?

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

I think you'll get comfortable with the size, and then you won't be able to go back. That's how I was. Before the 3, I had the OnePlus One. Same size. Before I bought the One, I had a smaller phone, and I thought the One was HUGE, but the specs sold me on it. It didn't take long for me to love having a device this size.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Yeah. The OnePlus One had a weak motor as well. If you're rooted, there should be ways to change the vibration settings. I know I did on my One, and on this device I'm using the boeffla kernel. His settings app has an option to change the vibration.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] m3lover1:
Didn't really like the design, I like the OP3 a lot more, even though it's a bit bigger. I just like the rectangular, blocky shape more. And the finish and build is just incredible on the OP3. Development much better on the OP3, and I really hated the the axon didn't have back-lit capacitance buttons and were spaced wrong.

Some things axon did better imo was quad HD, dual speakers, and almost bezel-less front. But that didn't sway me over the OP3.

But now my time with the OP3 is short lived, just bought the pixel xl today, so when it gets here it's bye bye OP3. Will certainly miss it.

Yep I used ex kernel app to do it.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] letray6:
Everything I expect from Oneplus! (I skipped the 2 as my OPO was working perfectly) After I broke the screen on my One and my sister bought my X from me I bought my 3 and even when looking at my friends s7 edge I know I made the right decision!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] mprenditore:
Amazing phone for not too high price

I letterally love this phone... It's blazing fast in everything... I immediately installed various custom rom and finally stay on daily base on Resurrection Remix... Downclocked to 1800MHz/1300MHz to improve more the battery (even if not necessary because it last long with full speed) and it' still fast... And having 6GB of RAM are a fantastic thing for everyone like me that have a lot of app installed and running
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Dmega86:
Love this phone. Upgraded from SIII so obviously a huge step. Couldn't be happier with choice. Dev community is great. OOS is clean and fast.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] strange1712:
Excellent Phone, build and characteristics, OxygenOS surprisingly good, specially the Betas. OnePlus is doing right in that aspect. A shame it was prematurely surpassed by 3T.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] speedlever:
The existence of the 3T in no way diminishes my OP3. It is a great phone. As long as OP supports their products going forward as they have promised, I have no problem with the 3T replacing the 3.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] xdanewbiedude:
Love it too ;)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] CodanCrux:
It's the best phone I've ever had! It just looks great, feels great and runs perfectly.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] flashingrom84:
Me neither, it basically looks the same it's not like the 3's out of date. It appears as though they're copying Apple's 'S' models which may or may not be good going forward.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] eankon:
Amazing Phone One Plus 3

I have just made a small review on this

Please search on Youtube

Hope you would love it. Cheers
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Masterx9:
I don't know post, nougat update im not really into it anymore. I mean no VoLte during calls after this many updates to 7.0 then 7.1.1 just sucks.

Oh well better trade it while the iron is hot.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
I feel in some ways, it's not even the specs about this phone. What makes this phone great is the experience for those of us who love modding. Extremely fast phone, plenty of RAM, and good battery life. What makes it even better is the developer community. It's huge, and we have some of the best devs on the forum for our device. Highly recommended phone.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Humorce:
Nice shape design , great camera , and the fastest fingerprint module.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] LagannBTT:
Best phone i ever used.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] astralbee:
Absolutely no complaints about this phone. It is a solid performer and the camera produces beautiful outdoor shots.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] AmeyKothari:
Smooth even after 18 months of vigorous operations
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Ganizz:
What a reply..!! that's true :D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Bidiminished:
I just can't replace this phone.

With Gcam the camera is better than a lot of stock flagships like the HTC 10, Sony phones, OP5/5T

It has a very good AMOLED panel for true blacks and always on display.

It has capacitive buttons so you don't lose any screen estate like you do with the Pixels or Sony phones. And hence 18:9 "bezel-less" is unnecessary.

It has one of the best custom ROM communities.

It has a headphone jack, notification slider and a front facing fingerprint scanner.

It has 6 GB RAM for peace of mind and has been fluid since day one. It's noticeably smoother and has much less app reloading than the XZ Premium I tried using for a month.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
You're a power user. Can the OnePlus 3 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the OnePlus 3. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] iam_adarsh:
I heard OnePlus released the source for the 3. If its true, the 3 would survive for as long as OnePlus 1 :D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Falkenhorst:
Oneplus released the sources while presenting the OP3. The warranty covers software changes made by the user. This device is all about editing every possible part. Community development strength = 200%
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] fix-this!:
id say the development here soo far is better than the nexus devices.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] matze19999:
The community here is amazing!! :D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Angristan:
It's a bit early to say, but it looks good.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] paultje162:
Official CM in just days. Lot's of roms already with good support.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] ABotelho23:
Definitely very alive. I was in the G4 community before; development was a ghost town.

Plus with Dash Charging kernel sources just having been released, there's literally not a single feature we'll be missing out on by during custom ROMs, unlike most phones.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] 2x4:
I've heard the non OOS based ROMs have issues with the camera, is this true?

Dash charge is finally out so this is one of the main things holding me back at this point
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] GeneralDisaray2:
Yes so CM-based ROMs lack the OOS post-processing for photos in camera.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] 2x4:
That's unfortunate. Is there a way to export the OOS camera into a cm based ROM?
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] JumboMan:
Dev support for one plus is excellent
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Joshmccullough:
This is what's pushing me toward buying a OP3 over the ZTE Axon 7. The ZTE may have better specs in some areas (ex. full USB 3.0 speeds, more frequency bands, expandable memory, sharper screen), but I've been reading that developer support for ZTE isn't good, at least for their other phones. And it's not like I'm going to really come close to filling up 64GB of space to begin with........just have to nudge the wife into signing off on the expense :)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] carbon271:
One thing I'd be happy if it did come would be Multi Rom that be awesome to have on the one plus 3 So we can have more than one rom to boot back an forth instead of reflashing
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] exebreez:
You are on XDA, so go and Flash it by yourself ;)

Multirom Thread
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Pandemic187:
OP is without a doubt a better choice if ROM development is important to you. That's why I'm here; I had both the Nexus 4 and 5 - I wanted to stay with the Nexus line, but the 6P had already been out for a while and I didn't want to wait for the next Nexus device. There have admittedly been a few kinks (I'm still battling random reboots), but overall, I think it was a good choice. :)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Joshmccullough:
You're mirroring my situation almost exactly: I've had the Nexus 5 for about 2 1/2 years now or so, looking to upgrade, but the N6P is closing in on a year old, the new Nexus models are likely to be much more expensive than the N5 was, and I want something I can tinker with but won't be obsolete in 6 months or ignored by the dev community. Thanks for being an inadvertent guinea pig :)
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] carbon271:
Thank u now I'm definitely interested and am buying this phone have a v10 from T-Mobile but development is hard for it the devs are doing all they can with AOSP for the v10 but ima upgrade to the OnePlus 3 since it has taken my complet attention
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Pandemic187:
Hahaha no problem. :D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] kvaju:
The communiti on OnePlus One was great, and so many great ROM-s out there, some had better camera, some better batery, some had this some had that, but on op3, I really have no need to 'touch' anything, great camera, battery life is ok for me, multitasking great, and maybe I'm getting too old for experimenting :D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] bricky23:
I just flashed the google nexus launcher on my +3, and it works great! If you want to download it, just look up Qbking on youtube. He has a video about it, and the download link.:D
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] girishb:
The community here at XDA was one of the major reasons for me buying the OP3. Now that OnePlus has released the sources for Dash as well, custom ROMs are going to feel complete. Flash away!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] shalom06:
Just want the oos camera to be ported to cm .Then it will be heaven .Until then have to stick with oos
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] J_Dutch:
It's okay but a lot of copyroms, all CM based. I love Substratum more then cmte, well then the op3 is a bad device to buy ;) but let's be patient first.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Harry44:
I think that it is way too early to judge on development. This device will be very well supported by devs. Especially once 1+ gets past its initial surge of shipments. Right now they are on backorder afik.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] lndulgence:
I have a Nexus 4 and is looking for a replacement. Community support is one of the factors I'm considering and I find the community of OP very interesting. With the efforts of OP in building and strengthening their OS with the help of the community, I am very solid on having the OP3 as my next smartphone. Good day!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] frickinjerms:
This is the first device I've had since the OG evo on sprint back in like 2010 that I didn't want to flash like crazy right out of the box. That being said, freedomOS is a grand because it's stock oos and has all the extra little things I enjoy having like debloat and viper and AdAway. All I needed to do was put my custom fonts (Prelude from the WebOS days) with Unicode 9 emojis and custom UI sounds and I was good to go
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Joshmccullough:
I remember the good old days of the OG EVO 4G! Man, they shoe-horned a Jelly Bean build onto that thing, it was ridiculously supported by the developer community. There're only a couple small things missing from the stock OS that I really like (center clock, text-only battery indicator, DPI size), but that's what Freedom OS/Xposed - GravityBox are for. Toss in root for AdAway and TiBu, and it's golden. The developer strength was what convinced me to go for the OP3 instead of the Axon 7, and I'm so glad I did; the development for the Axon 7 is pitiful thanks to ZTE.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] AmeyKothari:
regular monthly/bi-monthly updates even after launch of 3 flagships. Truly commendable.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Would you say that the OnePlus 3 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the OnePlus 3 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] gee2012:
Everything opening fast and snappy, even from the cache. No issues with ram management in my case. Could be 3.1.2 fixed this issues for the most part.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] js042507:
Ummmmm...yeah. This phone is insanely fast!! My note 4 received 66~k reading. Lol.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] slonn:
Compared to the LG G4 I used before this is amazingly fast. Don't know if it's cos of the processor or the ram.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] johncanadude:
Blazingly Fast phone at an affordable price [emoji106]
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] droidrev71:
Yes, it's fast. Very pleased with its day to day use. I scored 144k on antutu.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] gman88667733:
Is it faster than the Nexus 6P? I just had to get rid of my 6P and the OP3 seems like a good upgrade
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] droidrev71:
Yah, it is a little bit better performer. Overall I'm still uncertain if it's really much of an upgrade though. I haven't used it on a cell service yet nor have modded it yet. Each device is solid and I don't think you can go wrong with either.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] chindynasty:
Coming from 1+1, 1+x, moto x pure to 3. Definitely feels primo. Love the upgrade.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] Prozart:
Just got the phone today and have been playing with it the past couple hours. In some ways not a big upgrade from my Moto X Pure, but as far as speed it's an absolute joy to use. Everything is extremely snappy and smooth.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] anba94:
Coming from a 4 years old SGS 3 and it is incredibly fast. But i guess that feeling is normal coming from that old phone.
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] grobbins89:
This phone is a straight up BEAST!
[OnePlus 3 Real Life Review] nigerson:
Have been using the device since the 17th. I have only rebooted it a couple times while I was doing rooting/moding/bootloader unlock because it was required to do so. I have yet to notice a single dropped frame during any sort of task. I have had 0 crashes. My only issue has ram management, but that was quickly fixed with the ram fix for root users; now I can literally have all my installed apps opened and cached in memory. This phone flies.
