With a massive 6GB LPDDR4 RAM, a Snapdragon 820 at 2.2GHz and Adreno 530 GPU, you can expect flagship tier performance. As OnePlus boasts, it also provides 35% performance boost and 40% graphics boost compared to the OnePlus 2. However, it has no expandable storage which leaves me a little disappointed.

Design

The front of the phone holds an optic-AMOLED 5.5 inch screen along with an earpiece and notification LED on the top. On the bottom lay the fingerprint sensor and the navigation keys. Coming to back, it brings a beautiful metal unibody that holds the antenna lines. The camera on back protrudes a little with the dual LED flash sitting flush besides.

All that we miss about the design are the style-swaps, but let’s call them things of the past, for the industrial feel, OnePlus had to switch to anodised Aluminium body for the OnePlus 3. Coming in at just 7.35mm thin and beautiful curves, the OnePlus 3 is amazing to hold. It also feels lightweight. The OnePlus 3 will be available in graphite and soft gold colours.


The OnePlus 3 is available to purchase without invites from OnePlus official website (world-wide) and from Amazon India below:

 


Well, that’s it for now. Don’t you feel that amazing power of the 6GB RAM? Let us know your thoughts below in the comments.
