Several weeks after the OnePlus 3 came out, Ian Hardy, MobileSyrup ‘s publisher, asked me whether the website should run a "three months later" feature on the device. "Bossman," I said, "shouldn't we wait until the phone is at least six months old?

Superb performance & improved battery life; Near stock Android with smart additions; Handsome new Graphite colour

$100 more expensive; OnePlus 3 is still a great smartphone; Not water or dust proof like other flagships

The OnePlus 3T is well made and surprisingly powerful -- stacking up favorably compared to many, much more expensive flagship phones. The 5.5-inch AMOLED display is well liked and the phone features front and rear 16 MP cameras, which are regarded as solid.

Powerful performance; Clean user interface; Good cameras

No memory card slot; No support for CDMA networks (Verizon and Sprint; Best value direct from manufacturer

The OnePlus 3T is an excellent smartphone that ticks all the right boxes, but is very hard to find brand-new

Incredible value; A superfast handset for the price; High-quality screen

It's not as much of a bargain as the OnePlus 3; 16-megapixel front facing camera isn't great

The OnePlus 3T is really not a big upgrade to the OnePlus 3, but it still a good performer, and value for money smartphone

Class leading performance; Premium build quality and design; Super fast to charge; Good display

One day battery life only

It does everything really, really well, and while it may not truly excel in areas such as screen resolution and camera quality, the OnePlus 3T is still astonishingly good value for what is a serious flagship contender.

Great battery life; Super-slick performance; Still an affordable flagship

No microSD slot; Slightly more expensive; Incremental upgrades

The OnePlus 3T will be unfairly compared, for now at least, to the phone that came before it. So let's ignore it. On its own, the OnePlus 3T is everything a modern smartphone should be; slim, fast, and responsive, with above average battery life and cameras that produce stunning images.

The faster processor, an improved front-facing camera, and larger battery capacity also results in a bump in the price point, with the 64 GB model priced at $439, and the 128 GB iteration setting you back an additional $40.

-Thin and light metal design; Beautiful 1080p panel DASH charging works as advertised Great all day battery life Performance is smooth and responsive Great all around rear camera Improved front facing camera Dual SIM Fast fingerprint sensor OxygenOS is more refined

No expandable storage Single bottom firing speaker

The OnePlus 3T is an excellent smartphone. The fit and finish is right up there with the best, the metal design is refined and even with a 5.5in screen, it's a manageable smartphone to use on a daily basis.

all-metal; great fingerprint sensor; good screen; fast charging; good cameras; excellent notification slider; dual-Sim with dual standby; cheaper than rivals

not quite as cheap as it once was; no removable battery; no expandable storage; slow charging from non-Dash charge power adapters; screen low res for VR; not yet running Nougat

OnePlus has come a long way since the invite only days of the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 . At $440 the OnePlus 3T is the most expensive phone the company has ever made, but it's also the fastest.

Relatively affordable; Fast performance; Attractive metal unibody; Solid front and rear camera; 10+-hour battery life; Clean UI and highly customizable software; Larger storage model available; Dual SIM cards

Same screen resolution as the OnePlus 3, and less sharp than the competition; Lacks waterproofing and expandable storage

Coming from the Samsung Galaxy S5. It was time for a new mobile. Read about OP3T and clicked a soft gold. An incredibly nice flow and good camera. The battery life is also good, and it's fast to load.
