Build quality is good. After all, this phone gives the feeling of being a premium range phone in terms of design.

During the review we found that it detects fast.

Screen

This time OnePlus has decided to provide AMOLED screen. It was also used in OnePlus X. It is already obvious that AMOLED screens are not as bright as IPS LCD screens. However, the company has used a polarizing layer on it, due to which it is easy to use in sunlight. It is very sharp and you will like the pictures too.

dash charger

There is a 3000 mAh battery to power the phone. It is worth noting that this is the company’s first smartphone to support fast charging. Customers are being given a 20-watt dash charger with the handset. With its help, the phone’s battery can be charged up to 60 percent in just 30 minutes of charge. The phone’s battery will be fully charged after charging for about an hour. OnePlus is also selling dash chargers for cars.

camera
The primary camera of OnePlus 3 is 16 megapixels. The rear camera can shoot videos in 4K resolution and slow motion videos at a speed of 120 frames per second. Features like optical image stabilization, phase detection autofocus and RAW image format support have been provided in the rear camera. In good light this camera takes great pictures. These pictures are sharp and detailed. The colors are quite vibrant and they look quite bright. Optical and electronic image stabilization helps in taking photos and videos.

Talking about shortcomings, there is not much to say. The camera does not work well in low light. Photos become oversaturated. The 64GB of inbuilt storage should be enough for any average user, but the lack of support for a microSD card is a bummer. Its single speaker is a bit weak. The handset does not support some video and audio file formats.

But all these shortcomings are small. There is no doubt that OnePlus 3 is a great smartphone. Equipped with this capability, this phone available for Rs 27,999 is truly a ‘flagship killer’.
