OnePlus 3 review: Confidence booster

24 June 2016
A great act is tough to follow and sometimes delivering two great devices in a row requires that you take a completely different approach with the successor. Now on its third "flagship killer" (with the OnePlus X taking a different path), OnePlus has taken on the tough task to mature from a business standpoint, while still retaining that ambitious "never settle" attitude that brought it where it is today.

      It comes with shitty Oxygen OS. I dont ever think to buy this phone. OnePlus go change yourself to Cynogen or give user to opt their operating system. Uhh .. I am Sick with OnePlus X

                    ssbatman21, 26 Jun 2016how is mi3 better den note 4???the only prob in Mi3 when we compare'em, is its little ram capacity.. and battery, too..
                    i have them both , and im not kidding , i took pics way N wayyy better than N4 ( Mi3 got real colors and N4 had blue instead of real white ( there was a trash there ) )
                    Audio differences was so funny, N4 wasnt as good as Mi3 was ..
                    again, just 2 winnings for N4, RAM ( just in capacity, even Mi3 with 2Gb ram was more smooth and had no lags when i compared'em ) and battery :)

                      Considering the price difference of 250€,they are not in the same class.More so Sammy is adding quite a bit more feautures and a brand name(and service) for that amount.
                      Thats not to say that OnePlus have'nt their own audience,but mainly price concious byers in developing countries.

                                    So bad, seriously speaking. Well, let me explain you something guys, for the variety of android phones, keep in your mind these major things:
                                    Battery life and internal memory.
                                    Other specs are almost same, so when I looked at oneplus3 battery test, I felt so bad, really unbelievable ... so it is not even an option for me. Currently I have droid turbo 2, and my next plan is Xiaomi mi5/5s or Galaxy s7 edge or note7.
                                    however, the galaxy gives an extra feature which is also important which is the micro-sd for additional storage.

                                    these are my comments and oneplus, please consider putting back the micro sd and increase the battery size.

                                    regards
