OnePlus 3t
Gadgets|June 2017

OnePlus is now officially in the country, and the first device they have for the local market is the OnePlus 3t. Every day, the market gets more and more saturated. Does the OnePlus 3t have what it takes to break into a leading position? We find out!

DESIGN

Metal body? Check. Shiny, beveled edge? Check. Smoothly curved glass? Check. You can tell they put a lot of effort in picking materials, and putting them together in a design that’s as pleasing to look at as to hold. Our demo unit was a nice blueish gray, done in what looks to be a very pleasing anodized finish. The front is protected by sturdy Gorilla glass, and the sides of both the glass and the metal housing are nicely curved. Forget your fidget spinner, I’ll be fiddling with this instead, thank you very much.

The power button is nicely raised off the side of the case, as is the volume rocker, and in addition to those, the phone has a very nicely knurled slider that switches profiles from audible, vibrate, and do not disturb. The knurling serves both to make it easy to manipulate, and simple to tell apart from the other buttons.

HARDWARE

The OnePlus 3t has some muscle. The Snapdragon 821 Chipset and an absolutely massive 6 GB of RAM make for a device that can handle multiple instances of anything you can throw at it. The large 5.5-inch screen give you plenty of space to move around, and a fingerprint scanner keeps everything secure. The camera is an adequate 12 MP affair, with an 8 MP front-facer, and it has all the connectivity you need to get your work squared away, including the ability to take two SIM cards, so you have one less device to worry about. All told, it’s a very impressive spec sheet.
