Last year OnePlus jumped ahead on its release cycle by a few months with the OnePlus 3T, a slight upgrade over the previous OnePlus 3 with revised specs and minor improvements across the board. Along with that came a new 128GB model, but so far, it’s never been available for purchase. Now, though, that variant is available for pre-order.
It’s not secret that OnePlus has had a hard time shipping its phones over the years, but today marks one of the brief moments in time when you can actually navigate to the company’s website, click a few buttons, and actually have their newest device ready to ship to your home within a day or two. The OnePlus 3T, in its 64GB Gunmetal variant, is now available…
I’ve had the OnePlus 3T for about a month now, but there’s one flaw with this otherwise awesome phone that I just can’t get over. As you may have heard before, the phone has a touch latency issue. It’s not terrible — definitely not as bad as some of the bottom-of-the-line Android phones you might be familiar with. But it’s enough of an annoyance that I — and plenty of others — notice it every day.
And while OnePlus told us last month that the phone would be getting some “optimizations” relating to its touch latency with the release of OxygenOS 4.0 (which brought Android Nougat), we can’t really tell if there is any improvement in the new version. So we thought we’d bring it up again…
Earlier this year, we received word from OnePlus that they planned to get Nougat onto the OnePlus 3 and 3T before the end of the year. As we quickly approached the New Year, many became skeptical that this deadline would be met. Now, on the last day of 2016, Carl Pei, Co-founder of OnePlus, has announced that they will begin rolling out a stable build of OxygenOS 4.0 (Nougat) later tonight…
The Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued over two months ago, but we still talk about it a lot for good reason, there are still quite a lot of them out there. Just last month Samsung confirmed that 90% of Note 7s had been taken off the market, but that last 10% is still a lot of phones. In fact, it’s so many that it still outnumbers the total sales of some other smartphones which are still available.
Shortly after its release last month, OnePlus has just updated the OnePlus 3T with a new build of OxygenOS, version 3.5.4. The new update, much to the dismay of many OnePlus fans, is not Nougat, but it does bring a handful of important bug fixes and optimizations.
In my eyes, there are two standout Android phones for the second half of this year, and they serve slightly different target markets. The OnePlus 3T, the revamped version of the Chinese company’s OnePlus 3, brings a lot of high-powered specifications in an affordable package that’s super developer- and tinker-friendly and well-designed. The Google Pixel (XL, in this case), on the other hand, is a device that is similarly well-designed, but higher-priced, has compromises and is aimed at the average consumer — the kind of person who couldn’t care less about specs.
The problem is that a lot of people fall in between these two categories. They want a consumer-friendly phone that “just works”, and they also want a phone that has all the bells and whistles. They want a phone with a great camera and great battery life, but they also want a phone that they can tinker to their heart’s content and has as few compromises as possible at the lowest price-point possible. If you’re that person, you’re not going to go wrong with either of these choices. But let’s take a look real quick at the differences between the two phones if you still can’t decide.
There’s no doubt that the OnePlus 3 and recently announced OnePlus 3T are among the best bang-for-your-buck Android smartphones on the market today, but they aren’t without issues. As owners have noticed over the past few weeks, both devices have poor touch latency. Now, Carl Pei, one of the company’s founders, has responded to those complaints.
Depending on your preference, you might like the look of dark themes instead of the default light themes within applications. With the OnePlus 3 and 3T, you can enable a system-wide dark mode…
Smartphone manufacturers — and, in some cases, even the cellular carriers that sell their phones — have started doing unboxings in recent years, and this latest one comes from OnePlus. In this unboxing — which, in reality, is mostly just an ad — the Chinese company sends someone up in a fighter jet to unbox the phone hundreds of feet above the ground…
People love their OnePlus devices in large part because of the amount of customization they can accomplish without having to root or modify their handset. One of these small system tweaks is being able to choose from four different battery icons right out of the box…
OnePlus offers a lot when it comes to customizing the 3 and 3T. Building on top of the ability to enable either on-screen or capacitive navigation buttons, OnePlus allows you to add additional actions behind the Home, Recents, and Back buttons…
If you choose to use your OnePlus 3 and or 3T with on-screen navigation buttons, you can swap the placement of the Back and Recents buttons so that they are in the same order as those on the Samsung Galaxy S7…
One of the unique features found on the OnePlus 3 and 3T is the option to either use on-screen buttons like those found on the Pixel or capacitive buttons which can free up some space on your screen…

OnePlus has just released the OnePlus 3T, which is the successor to the company’s previous flagship device. Although the changes are minimal and mainly spec update, it is important to still know some of the basic functionality of the smartphone if you happen to pick one up…
Last week OnePlus made it’s latest smartphone, the OnePlus 3T, official. As an upgrade to the OnePlus 3, the OnePlus 3T brings along some minor spec upgrades and a slightly higher price tag. Starting today, it’s available for purchase for the first time.
Following OnePlus’ announcement on Monday of the OnePlus 3T, it was unclear if the company was planning to keep both models and offer flagships at two pricing tiers, or if it was planning to fully replace the OnePlus 3 with the OnePlus 3T. Now the company has confirmed that it’s the latter…
Just yesterday OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 3T, an updated version of the already-pretty-impressive OnePlus 3. It brings an updated processor, extra storage, a new color variant, and a handful of other improvements. One of those was a larger battery. The larger 3,400 mAh battery adds a little extra stamina to the phone, but also extends the charging time ─ or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
We’ve been hearing rumors about an updated OnePlus 3 variant for weeks now and even caught a leak on the company’s website earlier today. Now, OnePlus has just made its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 3T, official…
Just ahead of the official announcement, the OnePlus 3T has leaked out via the company’s website (since pulled). As expected, OnePlus’ latest smartphone is nothing more than a slight upgrade on the current model…
