OnePlus 3T review: An excellent affordable Android handset gets even better

At the end of November last year I was sent a OnePlus 3T . This appeared relatively hot on the heels of the OnePlus 3 , which I'd reviewed in the middle of 2016, judging it to be the best smartphone in its price range.

Attractive design; Solid build; Dual SIM slots; Excellent battery life; with fast charging; 64GB or 128GB internal storage options

No MicroSD card slot

OnePlus 3T review: The best midprice phone

Editors' Note: Since the June 2017 release of the OnePlus 5, OnePlus is phasing out 3T production and will no longer actively sell the phone. You can read CNET's OnePlus 5 review here.

This is our new favorite budget Android, but if you have the OnePlus 3, you don't need to upgrade.

The OnePlus 3T's battery lasts way longer; takes sharper selfies and has a 128GB storage option.

Pricier than the OnePlus 3; the 3T now directly competes with better phones.

OnePlus 3T camera review

The OnePlus 3t offers all-around top-specs and snappy performance, all wrapped up in a sleek metal unibody design. While the camera performance can't quite match the best in class, it is still very good, making the 3t one of the currently best value propositions in the market.
