Fine for you that you like the OnePlus 3, but personally I don't agree on everything you claimed.

Camera

I'm into photograph. So I have an other look on this subject. Indeed, phone camera has raised a lot the last few years.

But when you start saying "Excellent daylight performance and very solid low light performance leave it in the upper part of the spectrum within the likes of the LG G5, HTC 10 and the iPhone 6s, beating some phones like the Galaxy S7 and probably much more others.", I have to stop you.

I also have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and I assure you, the OP3 is way behind if it comes to photo-quality. Yes when looking at fullscreen on a FullHD it looks good. But I have 4K monitors at home, and then you see the real quality of these photos. I had a look at your photos on your dropbox. And they all have the same problem, they are grainy, and they have some clearly artifacts, like colors that run out. I don't see that on my photos taken with my Samsung S6 Edge (https://500px.com/photo/166547265/sunrise-at-gooik-by-paul-de-meersman?ctx_page=1&from=user&user_id=1777241).

The OP3 photos are over exposed (about 1 stop of light). It's the worst scenario you can have to recover, because you lose to much information that can not be recovered. I don't have this issue on my S6 Edge, I personalty feel that it even does the light-metering better then my 1600€ Canon reflex camera. The photo of the sunrise I posted taken with my Samsung would have been over exposed with my Canon Reflex on auto settings.

I would be surprised that the S7 has over-saturated color production or aggressive sharpening and noise canceling techniques. That is not what I have seen on photos taken with it. But I did not tried it my self. over-saturated color production wouldn't be so bad, because that can easily be corrected in post editing.

But yes for 400€ it is very good, but don't say its leveled with the performance of some flagship like the iPhone 6s or the Samsung S6.

sRGB mode

Are you kidding us, when you say that sRGB mode hidden in the developer options is for those who want the most accurate colors possible ????

I have 2 monitors that are color calibrated. When I look at the colors of my photos on the OP3 with sRGB activated, it's horrible. All my colors are lost. And yes my JPEG files include the sRGB embedded color profile.

Display build quality

Because people must also be informed about the négatifs.

A lot of people include me, have bad experiances with the display after it falls. Yes it is not made to trow on the ground. But accidents happen. In my case it felt from less then 60cm (23.6 inch) on its back, and the display is shattered and cracked over the hole surface. I never had a display broken that easy. And yes I have a lot of stupid accidents. Phone falls from the bed, table, ... but never had any issues. The only phone that I had some cracks was my Samsung S6 Edge (the reason I bought the OP3). But the S6 felt from my hands on the first floor, hitting some stairs before terminating at the tile floor. And even then the damage was a lot less then the one on the OP3. And that is remarkable because bought pretend to be Gorilla Glass 4.

I was already hesitating what i would do the day my S6 Edge would be repaired. Because I'm sure that the camera will improve with software upgrades (because the RAW files shows us that it can take better picture, only the camera information is missing or not correct in the DNG file, so you have a lot of post processing to do or the need of a camera calibration tool), it is very fast and has dual sim slot. But after my experience with the easily broken screen, and afterwards reading all the posts of other people complaining that this gorilla glass 4 screen is very fragile, I have decided that I will go back to the Samsung S6 Edge, because I already know that next time it should fall, and it will certainly, it will break again.
