[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] twinflyer:
It feels awesome and the build quality is just on-spot.

But to me it's a little too large (coming from a hammerhead Nexus 5) which might resolve once I get used to the size.

Reports of it being slippery without a case are definitely true for me as well.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] se7ensde:
Yes I do find it slippery as well kinda scary as I would hate to drop it. But with the oneplus sandstone case it's prefect.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Cottaer:
Lots of unused space on top and an bottom (but most other devices aren't better).

I prefer to root my devices but OOS is very clean from bloatware.

feels very solid, keeps good in hand but require some kind of skin as it is but sliipy but not as htc 10 or iphone 7
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] se7ensde:
Not to excited on oos but that's not why I got this phone. I got out for custom ROMs and I love rr on this phone makes it a masterpiece in my opinion.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
Please check the default productivity apps for me:

- email (imap client)

- calendar / planner

- note taking app

I'm using Samsung s7 on Nougat patch and would like to have a few opinion on the difference of experience.

I'm planning to switch primarily for experience of stock android (google pixel is too expensive) and for software updates as Samsung tend to do a poor job on this one. I want to have the latest version of Android.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Romman0:
I use Gmail for 2 Gmail accounts and 2 Yahoo accounts.

The stock calendar is Google calendar.

There is a memo widget in the swipe right screen on the stock launcher and all tiles are customizable. It's very handy.

The stock latest nougat version is super lean and nearly stock Android, no real bloatware. It's very fast and fluid, I think you will like it. The notification slider is very handy too, something that you didn't know you want until you have it.

The only thing I would like on the phone would be dual front facing speakers, other than that it's perfect for my liking. The slightly curved glass on edges feels great in hand but tempered glass screen protectors are a PITA to find one (only real one that covers whole screen and actually adheres to screen is the official curved tempered glass screen protector).

Keep in mind too the screen is only 1080p, it is a Samsung amoled panel, but you are losing some pixel density from the S7. But it is as good as a 1080p screen gets, and saves power.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
What about its stock email client? I use Samsung's default email client for around 7 mailboxes via IMAP and it works very nicely as subtle details like gestures for drag to move contacts from TO to CC is very useful for me, as well as built in text formatting. Handling attachments is very easy as well.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Romman0:
I don't recall if I uninstalled it or it didn't have one, all I have is Gmail on mine. Hopefully someone else can comment.

I went through first thing and removed or disabled all the apps I don't use. Sry.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
Come to think of it, I can download 3rd party apps anyways, glad that I'm seeing I'm making the right choice. I'm hoping to get this phone instead of Oneplus 5 due to budget constraints. Thanks for your input.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Romman0:
No problem. You might be able to find an email app that is based off the Samsung stock app.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
How is oneplus dealing with software updates? Are they better than samsung?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Romman0:
They seem to be very good. Check out the general forum. It was one of the first phones with nougat 7.0, it's on 7.1.1 now, and even have a beta program for newest versions. There was an update within the last few days also.

Now whether it will keep up after the new OnePlus phone comes out is in question.

The custom ROM scene will probably keep it updated for years to come though. Even the OnePlus one has perfect custom ROMs on the latest Android and are updates all the time. But you have to be willing to flash a recovery and ROM.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
Got it, thanks!
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Chansen1029:
Oneplus is pretty good

I'd say my expectations has been concurred. The Oneplus latest phone is both amazing in screen quality and performance. It makes and overall remarkable speed and quality and not to mention its camera. I bet the new Oneplus has some even better specs to bring os.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Ricky_Karmator:
It's too early saying that OnePlus is good with Updates. OnePlus 2 it's abandoned, OP1 was a total failure (due to CM) and never got updated with OOS. OPX? They forgot about it (neither security patches). What i think? It's the best smartphone for price/specs. Yeah it's supported right now but when the new OP will come out our 3T will die. Hopefully Modding is our solution
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Romman0:
The OnePlus One has 7.1.1 roms that are perfect (ala RR and others), so I would guess devs will keep us up to date for some time. Unlocking bootloader and flashing are easy on OnePlus phones.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Navi44:
One plus one was debacle due to cm thingy, and op2 had it'd own problems of SOC and all. Op3 came out to be perfect, and that's why they are going overboard for the updates for this phone.

And this will be supported for quite some time.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] urbanmetalgray:
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-05-01

My OP3T is very late on security patches, which is quite surprising and disappointing.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Navi44:
May security patch is already there and you are saying op is late on security patches.

Maybe expecting too much, are we?

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the OnePlus 3T's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] lindahl85:
This screen is bright!
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Murmur95:
Yeah I would agree. The screen is way too bright.

I would hope that the android 7 update will bring a better brightness slider so that we can have a more varying degrees of blindness...err brightness.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Abu-khulzat:
Outdoor visibility is very good. I am surprised!
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Iksos84:
Outdoor visibility is the biggest downside of the OP3T's display.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] redmetalman:
The visibility is very good but in maximum brightness and very sunny day LG G4 or Samsung Galaxy has better visibility.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] seabro01:
Outdoor visibility is usually fine but I use high brightness mode when needed in direct sunlight.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] mtur:
Max brightness is definitely good enough, I never really had any issue in using the screen, even in conditions of direct strong sunlight

Sometimes I just find the automatic brightness sensor not super-reactive to adjust it accordingly

How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the OnePlus 3T's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] igotlostintampa:
it has an amoled display o.o so real blacks.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] system.img:
The blacks are as good as any AMOLED display, that is, pitch black. It is virtually indistinguishable from the top and bottom bezels of my gunmetal OP3T
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] bimmerbot:
Just to expand slightly, an AMOLED display means that each pixel only produces light while it's activated. There is no full-screen backlight like you'd see on a typical LCD screen, so if a pixel is not given a signal to illuminate a specific color, it just remains off, so you get the best blacks you can find. So the contrast ratio is basically 1:infinite. This is, in my opinion, the best screen technology for a cell phone. The reason it's not more prevalent on TVs and monitors is because of (a) the cost, but more importantly (b) burn in. Static images will cause permanent (or semi-permanent) shadow images. You can easily see this if you find a retail store with a display model OLED TV. Cell phones displays are, for most people, more often off than on, and the image is frequently changing while they are on, so it's not really a concern there. Hope this helps!

[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] jowaii89:
s-RGB mode is great, except for the white balance, it's a tad too warm/yellow.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Defferex:
Want to share my screen settings, I personally love AMOLED colors but I hate yellowish tint, so I tuned it up a bit to get cold white:

1. Install Kernel Adiutor.

2. Go to Screen section.

3. Red 205, Green 225, Blue 256 (default).

4. Save.

That's it. Keep in mind that this is completely personal choice.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] MattBooth:
sRGB is supposed to be like that, though. I also find the warmer screen easier on the eyes in bed.

Problem with that is really each screen is different, whereas the sRGB calibration is the same for every display, as far as I know.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Dirk:
I only use the sRGB mode as i hate oversaturated colours and always prefer colour accuracy in all circumstances. As mentioned above the colour temp is a bit off, but overall the sRGB mode is the lesser of all evils. Is it just me or do the colours pop a little more in sRGB since the Nougat update? Before the update i felt the colours were a little under-saturated but i'm happy with it now.

How people can live with the disgusting neon AMOLED colour space is beyond me.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] GauharJK:
Screen is a downgrade. Very strong yellowish tint. Not happy at all.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Aman Amrit:
I use Official RR and there is option for screen color in %. What to do for it ? How to Calibrate it ? Thanks in andvance.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] nitinvaid:
custom kernel
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Aman Amrit:
Thanks.

But Which kernel btw ? Official RR comes with custom kernel build in. So which one is supported ?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] basratransport36:
yes screen color saturation is a failure when we recognize it and also we saw some yellowish
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] MattBooth:
SRGB is a bit yellow anyway.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Naprzod:
For everyone using sRGB just modify rgb values and set green to 248 and red to 249. You'll love it :)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] worldsoutro:
Would it be weird to say I like the saturation of the default colors
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] r3ix:
Me too. I like stock. One day when i will root the device maybe i will change but i like very much default colours
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] system.img:
One of the best 1080p AMOLED displays that I've used. Of course, it isn't as impressive as the QHD Samsung panels though not really far off. The whites on my display seem good to my eyes. I can easily notice the yellowish warm whites on AMOLED screens but I don't seem to notice anything like that on my unit. My unit luckily has good whites (not too warm/cold) and no pink or green tint.

Though I've been an AMOLED fan for years, this my first phone with an AMOLED display. The colors do seem a bit too saturated at times but it is a gorgeous display. The sRGB mode is nice for when you need color accuracy but it is just too washed out for my taste.

Only real "defect" in this display is the purple ghosting effect which can be observed while scrolling grey elements on black backgrounds in low brightness but this issue is inherent to AMOLED and I've seen it on all AMOLED devices I've laid my eyes on.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] sherlock_holmes:
Can the color be optimized to look accurate like an ips display with elemental or franco kernel ?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] exaflare:
Both kernels supports color control and works the same so either can produce accurate colors, you just need to know the proper color values settings :)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] RE910177:
here's the best profile by far:

saturation intensity = 33

screen value = 127

screen contrast = 121

let me know if it's good.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] gaurravv5:
How to do that on default os?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] jokerpappu:
you need bootloadr unlocked and root and a custom kernel like franco blu spark or boeffla for that. stock kernel does not support that
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
The OnePlus 3T has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] TheHupfdole:
How do you find the sRGB-mode? I dont like it at all. The colours are not colourful any more in that mode. I find custom mode full warm the best though...

What about you?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Eremitus:
Same, custom mode with full warm is my fav so far. Whites in other modes looks little blueish to me.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] eddymonti:
At first I thought S-RGB mode to be very bland in comparison with the default's vibrant colours. But after trying out the S-RGB for a day straight I don't want the default anymore xD

Everything seems much more realistic, accurate, not overly saturated, and even soothing/calmer with S-RGB. Default now gives off a wacky vibe, like I'm high or something :P

Edit: Tried custom full warm like the posts above, but I don't like it during the day. At night it is good, but still prefer the S-RGB for most of the day.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Rodn3y:
I really dislike the screen of the OP3T and I'm probably going to return mine because of it.

Unfortauntely I can't post an image comparison I made but you can probably see it for yourself: get some app with sharp edges in the UI and black on white text (Now for reddit, for example), you'll notice a bit of color fringing around the text, typically some green above and purple below the characters' lines. This makes text look somewhat out of focus and uncomfortable to read.

It really sucks compared to my Nexus 5's IPS screen, sure more vibrant colors but what use is that if it can't display text in a readable form?

Too bad, I really like the rest of the phone. Now I'll have to go back and look for another affordable dual sim high-spec phone.

(This is my second OP3T after I returned the first one believing this was a manufacturing defect, after some looking around it seems to be a result of the screen being a PenTile AMOLED display at a too low resolution for the size)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] paratox:
i now have a huawei p9 with 1080p ips lcd and 5,2". i like the uniformity and the "sharp edges" (no pentile matrix) of the display.

anyone in the same boat and did a "downgrade" to the OP3T amoled screen?

i`m a little bit afraid of uneven gray level (yellow on one side) and fuzzy fonts which are not so comfortable readable as on a lcd display.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] golfinggino:
l like the phone specs but worried about the low resolution screen - anyone have this and the s7 edge and can compare the screens ?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Wiesi21:
sRGB mode is really great in my opinion --> the calibration in this mode is great, so you can be sure, that everything on the web and in apps looks as the creator intended, as sRGB is for the time being the "standard" color profile.

I have no problem with the pentile matrix and 1080p resolution --> while I can notice a difference in sharpness compared to the OPO with its 1080p IPS display, the display of the OP3T is all around great. I would put the sharpness of the OP3T around the sharpness of the iPhone7 (non plus) with its 326ppi.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] ivAnash:
The sRGB mode on the OP3 is way better.. The OP3T sRGB mode is definitely pretty washed out with a lot more yellow tint..

I'm sure one plus can tweak that.. Nothing inherently wrong with the screen coz I think they're the same..
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] J4DedPrez:
I'm calling BS on this one. Smells like a troll...
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] raksan:
I just got OnePlus 3t for a week. The screen sharpness look okay to me, I have s6 and s7 edge to compare and I can't see any pixel in these phone except both samsungs look sharper. The only complaint here is that the screen panel doesn't look very black when see in daylight and not as vivid/warm, compare to my iPhone 6s. But custom setting to nearly full warm help a lot.

I use to be afraid of the pentile 1080p too, but now I can say it look very great.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] B3501:
I'm disappointed in the clarity of the screen, it looks quite pixelated and grainy to me. I can't understand why OP didn't go for a QHD in the 3T :(
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] neo_bpm:
I preffer 1920x1080 in my 3T, the screen has a lot of quality in my opinion, I don't want anymore.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Batfink33:
I don't like the screen at all, it just isn't as sharp as other phones compared to today's standards its not great. Im quite let down by it.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] neo_bpm:
LeL
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] MaxFTW:
It's decent in my opinion

I came from Galaxy S6 and its (well, let's face it) outstanding quad HD display and actually the downgrade in resolution is in fact noticeable for me. Not a big deal though, it may be just me being crazy about some minor details ;)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Batfink33:
Agreed, I'm used to using 2k screen phones and I'm perhaps being a bit OCD about it. The 3T screen isn't bad by any means, I can just see the difference from my old 2k phones which is annoying me. I'm also noticing the PWM on the screen and that's something I've not noticed in phones since I had my old Note 4.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] MaxFTW:
Exactly, I totally agree with you
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] B3501:
Such an amazing phone but the 1080 pentile is ugly, you're only getting an effective resolution of around 900p because of it. I feel the phone is spoiled a lot because of this.

sRGB mode is a must also on this panel.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] SpasilliumNexus:
Coming from a Moto X Pure, which has a 1440p display, I can definitely tell the difference, especially when I resize my desktop icons using Nova Launcher, with the display set to small on Nougat. This phone however is blazing fast compared to the Pure, so I'll be getting used to the display and set my icons to a somewhat smaller size (120% instead of 130%.)

I have no reason to root this thing either, except for a custom kernel with KCAL support and using Kernel Adiutor-Mod. None of the sRGB settings are good enough for me. I need Samsung-like bleeding color settings.

EDIT: Solved the blurry icons with Nova by disabling the "Normalize icon size" option.

Got a Mate 9...Have the OP3t on order...One of them is going back in a week. After reading this thread, I have an idea which one :(
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] wszwsz:
Having already Mate9 what is the purpose of ordering 3T? Just curious :)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Batfink33:
The Mate 9 is a 1080 display? In fact it has a lesser Ppi than the OP3T.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] admorris:
I feel like these are the two best Android phones at the moment, so wanted to compare them side by side myself.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

It is not a pentile matrix display...So far probably the best overall display I've seen on a phone...Ultra bright, great colors (almost AMOLED like) and very clear. There are obviously higher PPI displays out there, but nothing that can really be perceived by the human eye.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] carlinleos:
I've got to say, the screen looks decent but it is very far to be pleasant, at least for my eyes, the colors are not crisp and brilliant like others, my last mobile was a s7 Edge and the coloes looked great! a bit too radiant but really good.

I wish, I could adjust the screen colors, not just the temperature....
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] yohouse2:
I think franco kernel has the setting to adjust display saturation, but not sure the one for the oneplus 3t does though. It might be something you might want to look into if you already have it (or another custom kernel).
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Naprzod:
He's totally right. Once you stay in srgb for a while you won't come back. I recommend to change rgb values and set green on 248, and red 249.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] kolembo:
Heh. I'm custom full cold....!
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Cottaer:
Obviously pentile matrix. Not as clear as my previous device.

i feel that they need to dim it more, it's still annoying
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] insaneoctane:
One thing I noticed is that the phone offers EXTREME fine tune-ing of the lower brightness end.....when I adjust the adaptive brightness, if I click and drag the setting towards the bottom end, there is tons of adjustability available to the user to find exactly how much brightness you want. Having said that, the lowest settings appears quite dim to me (but not 'dangerously' dim)
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Chipaton:
The lowest setting for me seems to be extremely bright still, for night usage at least. Every other phone I've used has been able to get far more dim.

Anyone know of any way to lower it further actually?
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] vikingsail:
root it and with the help of xposed (or without) you can edit the parameters to make it even dimmer.
[OnePlus 3T Real Life Review] Chipaton:
What do I edit? I'm rooted with Xposed.
