OnePlus 3T Review: A Lot Of Phone For Your Money


The OnePlus 3T is one of the best mid-range Android smartphones out there with a power specification that will give some high-end smartphones a run for their money.

It’s definitely not a perfect device with its own downsides but a lot of this review will have many positives because that’s just what the 3T is about – good things to simply put it. From fast charging with dash charge to a whopping 6GB RAM.

OnePlus 3T design review – It’s sleek and feels natural in hand.

Current OnePlus 3 users will notice nothing new here as it’s the next iteration of the 3 line. It is to the iPhone 6 what the “S” range is. For me, though, if yo have a winning design formula that no one has complained about, why change it?
Once you take it out of the box, you will notice its metal housing, the one which OnePlus mentioned that it’s carved out of one piece of space-grade aluminium alloy – it screams premium and solid build quality that some so-called premium devices can’t match today.
You can use the 3T all day and still have a little juice left under heavy usage, but whilst everyone’s usage will vary from person to person, OnePlus has included a fast charger – a really fast one, it’s witchcraft – called the “Dash Charger”; it’s a USB Type C and power brick combo that will charge the 3T to 60 percent in 30 minutes – that’s nearly a day’s worth of charge in 30 minutes.
OnePlus 3T camera performance
Anyone who’s been following my smartphone reviews will know this is a section close to my heart. If you were to rank smartphone features by how important it is to me, the camera would stand out on top of my list.
Should you buy the OnePlus 3T?
There’s a reason why the 3T was sold out in a matter of minutes at launch, and that’s because it’s such a great device and a steal. For previous OnePlus 3 users, you probably won’t be upgrading yet, unless you absolutely one a new device, but for new buyers, you will not be disappointed – that’s if you can get hold of one.
For £417.99 from O2 UK, you can pick up the 64GB version and for £456 you can get the 128GB version which is one of the reasons current One Plus 3 owners would probably jump to the 3T.  For that price, you’re getting a great camera, solid build, fast processor and software.
If I have any qualms with the OnePlus 3T, it would be the lack of microSD card support and I now worry about OnePlus realising how good their devices are that the price will continue to rise – fingers crossed that don’t happen.
