OnePlus 3 is in approach foe with a Rs 24,999 Xiaomi’s Mi5 and LeEco’s LeMax 2 various (6GB RAM and 64GB) that comes for Rs 29,999.

What works
The association has offering a steel unibody design. But don’t usually get tender by a skinny feel as some of a best hardware are dark underneath a sheet.

 

The device has 6GB RAM and a singular lurch assign underline that gave 100 per cent of battery in 49 minutes. Unlike other fast-charging record smartphones, OnePlus 3 does not feverishness adult while charging.

 

To exam a company’s explain that lurch assign underline charges a smartphone even when a user is gaming or working, we slid a device in Loop practical existence set (also a OnePlus device though does not come bundled with a smartphone) and charged it while regulating a few games. The underline works good though do not design too most from it.

 

The device has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor clocked during 2.2 Ghz for complicated gaming and multitasking (a thumbs adult from my side), a 16MP back camera with visual stabilisation and a intelligent constraint underline — improved than a predecessor.

 

One of a conspicuous facilities in a phone is a fingerprint scanner that unlocks a device faster than blink of an eye. Touch any partial of your ride and it unlocks a device in a jiffy.

Double daub a fingerprint scanner and it thatch a phone so that we might or might not use a energy symbol for this. If we are left handed, we can change a functions of navigation buttons according to your finger movements.

The Dual SIM device (Nano SIM) has 64GB of storage and 3,000mAh battery that final for roughly 27 hours. In my loop video test, it lasted for scarcely 7.5 hours.

Running 4K videos was not a problem on a 5.5-inch full HD ocular AMOLED display. Not as good as Samsung’s S7 though scarcely tighten to it. The smartphone runs on OxygenOS-based on Android Marshmallow.

What doesn’t work
As distant as a device is concerned, zero vital detached from heating while regulating it with a VR headset. Camera could have been better, generally in low-light condition. The 8MP “selfie” camera works average.

The VR device is as good as a nominal device though we would suggest users to buy it separately. Design-wise, a VR headset looks pleasing and has correct cushioning, rather identical to Samsung Gear VR, though it lacks a quality.

You can't use a VR set with a phone thicker than OnePlus 3. Every time we slip in a device, we have to adjust it for clarity.

Conclusion: Not in approach competition with Samsung S7 though it certainly is one of a best flagship inclination we would suggest for people looking for high-end smartphones.
