Three follows two and thus, the name of the new flagship killer is not surprising. The OnePlus 3 is the successor of the OnePlus 2. The look remained almost unchanged. The OnePlus dismisses the sanded rear side and uses a aluminium unibody case now. Inside, the current Snapdragon 820 makes for fast performance. 6 GB of RAM are an enormous capacity and the future will show if this is really necessary. The internal storage device features 64 GB and cannot be expanded. In return, there is a dual SIM slot. A 16 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front camera are suitable for this class; at least on paper.

The display brings similar specs as its predecessor: a diagonal of 5.5 inch and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. As the OnePlus 3 also is designed for use of VR content, we would have wished for an QHD panel at least. OnePlus does no longer use the IPS technology, but incorporates an AMOLED screen. In addition, the OnePlus 3 is finally also available with NFC.

OnePlus offers a powerful product for just under 399 Euros. Definitely, the price is an incentive to buy. Learn how the device compares to the high-end competitors in our in-depth review in a few days.
