First impression OnePlus 3T: the best Android device of 2016 – Bright – Bright.nl

The Chinese smartphone OnePlus 3T is a few tens more expensive than its predecessor, but again, the price really worth it.

OnePlus has in a few years, the smartphone market shaken by powerful smartphones at low prices to sell. The OnePlus 3T is a slightly revamped version of the OnePlus 3, which in the summer appeared, and shows that quality, again, not have to cost a lot.

The OnePlus 3T, that as from 28 november to buy it for 439 euro, looks exactly the same as its predecessor. Only the color is different: gunmetal, that is a sort of combination between gold and grey. By doing this the aluminum housing there is tight again.

OnePlus retains two important features of the previous phone: dualsim and a physical mute button. The former means that you have the phone with two sim cards and both numbers can call and appen. The physical mute button allows you to place the device in the silent mode (alarms ringing) or priority mode (all notifications from important contacts or apps).

Long battery life

There is much remained the same with the OnePlus 3T. The phone has a 5.5 inch amoled screen (full hd), 16 megapixel camera on the back, 6GB of ram and the ability to use the smartphone within a half hour, with 60 percent battery charge to complete. What has changed? Well, two important parts of the phone: the processor and battery. The OnePlus 3T has the new Snapdragon 821-chip from Qualcomm, which is more powerful and more energy-efficient, and a bigger battery (3400 mAh). The battery is 13 percent larger than its predecessor.

The energy-efficient chip forms in combination with the larger battery the most important improvement: the OnePlus 3T is a lot longer than its predecessor. That is fine, but even the OnePlus 3 already had a great battery life. With this smartphone, you almost no longer have to worry about a dead battery.

Stronger sapphire glass

Then we go to the smaller changes. The OnePlus 3T is stronger saffiergras used to the camera lens to protect it. That sounds not really interesting, but there are plenty of OnePlus 3 owners who are complaining about broken glass. A friend of mine has this glass even cracks the phone is a little too hard on the counter to put down.

also, has OnePlus the number of megapixel of the front camera increased from 8 to 16, that your selfies in higher quality shoot. Last, there is an added option to 128GB of storage to choose. That takes something else, too: 479 instead of 439 euro.

Enhanced software

The power behind the OnePlus-phones is the software, the on Android 6 Marshmallow-based OxygenOS. The version of Android that OnePlus uses, is almost identical to Googles bare-bones version of Android on Nexus devices it runs. That ensures a smooth system, with a beautiful interface and no unnecessary apps.

OnePlus gives the user a lot of choice, for example, the ability to have software – or hardware-based buttons to use. In addition to the finger print scanner are two touch-sensitive buttons (which you are not physically in key) at the OnePlus 3T to find, but you can also softwareknoppen through the screen.

The software for the OnePlus 3T is at various points are improved so that the system has less memory and energy consumption. Also, there are some useful features added, including the ability to have all the buttons in the notificatiepaneel to adapt and unwanted callers to block. These features also come to the OnePlus 3.

Two small critiques

I still have two small points of criticism. First of all, the OnePlus 3T not waterproof, which he behind the bulk of the other toptoestellen of this year.

The second point is the price: the OnePlus 3T is 40 euros more expensive than its predecessor. For the extra 40 euros you get more powerful hardware, longer battery life and improved selfiecamera. These are all important points that the price increase justify.

If you are that improvements are added to the fine build quality, smooth software, and the ability to take two sim cards to use, is the OnePlus 3T with its suggested retail price of 439 euros, the best Android smartphone you can buy.
