SeekerOnePlus 3
Previous OnePlus smartphones have claimed to be “flagship killers”. That’s still not quite accurate, but the OnePlus 3 is a very good smartphone priced at less than half the price of top rivals.

The OnePlus 3 is another amazing smartphone from the Chinese company as easily its best effort yet. It’s a little bit more expensive than its predecessor but it’s still a ridiculous price considering the design, build and hardware on offer which matches rivals but also beats them in some areas. There’s very little to dislike here unless you really need things like expandable storage and waterproofing. You don’t even need an invite any longer, either.

If you already own the OnePlus 3, don’t be too upset that it’s been superceded. The OnePlus 3T will more than certainly be a little faster, last a little longer and take better selfies, but the OnePlus 3 is still an awesome phone and a match for many of the best phones of 2016. If you’re completely new to the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, while stocks last the OnePlus 3 is the more affordable option at £329 and, in that sense at least, could still be the better phone.

The OnePlus 3’s battery life is less notable. Stamina is inconsistent, although it do believe it was a blessing that the screen resolution wasn’t bumped up to QHD or 4K.
