**** The Official OnePlus 3 Thread ****

[Christmas themed thank]

The OnePlus One, 2 and X all came with preinstalled protectors so I would think the 3 would too.

My One didnt (ordered March 2015). Had to put one on it.

doubt it, they never did with the One at least. Especially as they probably want to sell you:

OnePlus 3 Tempered Glass Screen Protector £9.99

They were selling them pre-installed with the OnePlus 2.

DOH.

In The Box

1x OnePlus 3
1x Screen Protector (pre-applied)
1x Dash Charge Type-C Cable
1x Dash Charge Adapter
1x SIM Tray Ejector
1x Quick Start Guide
1x Safety Information

oh well, £10 on a spare tempered glass one..

Nice, thanks for checking that.

It's probably just a plastic screen protector, but it's great to have some protection out of the box.

If it's like the OP2 then the preapplied one is just basic plastic. Tempered glass all the way .

 

[neil_g]

yeah true

Do Oneplus ever do any deals/sales? I'm gonna pick one of these up towards the end of summer, just wondering if it's worth waiting for a deal once they've been out a little while

It's only really goes on sale nearer end of life so about 10 months in.

Does the phone come with a screen protector pre-installed?

It does come with one preinstalled albeit a rather basic film one. its a fingerprint magnet but im leaving it on until my tempered glass one arrives. Until then its serving its purpose spot on

 

[kona786]

2.5D glass though right? So the screen protector doesn't go right towards the edge so leaves a lip?

 

[neil_g]

the OP tempered glass protector has cut outs around the fingerprint button and camera etc

Spot on. It sits about 1mm from its true edge.

How does this phone compare to the 6p?
Im thinking screen quality and camera performance specifically?

Nexus 6P is still a great phone, only let down by SD810.

If it was released a little later with SD820 it could have been a real contender this year.

Screen and camera quality should be better on the 6P.

 

[neverender]

Any thoughts on the audio quality (3.5mm) of the Oneplus 3 vs the 6P?

Anandtech just posted their review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10411/the-oneplus-3-review

Looks like OnePlus have messed up the screen again.

As expected, the OnePlus 3 also regresses here, and beats the OnePlus 2 as the most inaccurate display on the chart. I really don’t have anything else to say here, as I’m just so frustrated by OnePlus’s choices here,

Really liking this phone but miss the default email app.

Can't stand my emails coming through using gmail or outlook app.

Much prefer the setup for emails on my iPhone 6.

Strange, most reviewers never commented on this which suggests it's not as bad as Anandtech have made out.

Will find out when I receive one, glad to hear they're going to included another display mode in future updates.

I expect it's because no one else bothers to do the full suite of colour accuracy tests that Anandtech does.
