the original 1+1 was a revelation in the smartphone space it offered near flagship specs the performance but any budget price the invite system that came with it was super frustrating the oneplus 2 was met with incredibly high expectations but failed to live up to the promise of his predecessor how they do on the third attempt I'm John rende you from TechnoBuffalo let's find out how good the 1 plus 3 is I'll try answer the question would I buy it so before sitting down and writing my notes for the 1 plus 3 I used it for 12 full days as my daily drivers I really got to know it inside and out usually I like to slowly build up to my conclusion on phones but honestly I just love the 1 plus 3 so much I'm gonna just just come out and say it i straight-up love this phone it checks almost every flagship spec at a price of $400 1 plus taking some heat in the past for subpar screens but they righted the ship here the 5.5 inch screen is still 1080p but one of the better displays I've seen it'd be hard for us to see much of a difference versus a qHD display but the trade-off is definitely worth it for the battery savings with one giant caveat if you plan on using your phone for VR you'll definitely want the extra pixels colors are bright black to black it's not just a good screen while they miss the classic oneplus sandstone I do like the new aluminum body of the three the bezels look almost non-existent and oh do I love having a profile switched on Android device but in all fairness I know I've been tough on Apple HTC in the past their antenna bans and yes those are here and I bagged on Samsung for the camera humps and yep this thing got humps too so to be fair let's just say it's a beautiful package with some room for improvement with the Snapdragon 820 and an insane 6 gigs of ram we'd expect this thing to be smooth and fast even though not all 6 gigs are all readily available all the time and the phone is obviously very fast and just for a second we acknowledge we live in a world where 60 gigabytes of RAM isn't a phone everything you want to do on this phone is blazing fast opening apps multitasking playing games you are never gonna notice a stutter a slowdown a hiccup or any other word I can think of this phone is going to be incredibly fast for use when the fastest phones that I've ever tested and that includes the flagship from Samsung and LG I was little bit bummed out with the lack of NFC on the oneplus 2 and I was really happy to see it make a return on the 1 plus 3 so if that was a big raise you didn't pick up the last gen you will be happy here looking at the elongated symmetry you'd probably think to yourself self pretty awesome expandable storage to add to my 64 gigabytes built-in and to you all say no you were wrong it's actually a dual sim tray the software makes it really easy to pick what each sim does for like data and calling and texting I've admittedly never really needed to sit ins in one phone but I know a lot of markets this is a huge must-have this is important to you and you're on a teen to your t-mobile you'll be pretty happy but if you're on Verizon or Sprint be a little bummed out looking at the software side of things you think that it was mostly stock Android it's actually one plus his own oxygen OS based on marshmallow it works really well and doesn't have much bloat they've taken let's just say a lot of influence from other OEMs that had some features that are surprisingly useful like wave your hand over the screen of some notifications there's night mode here and more make this phone feel very cyanogen ish which is not surprising considering the original oneplus one you say engine I really appreciated the built in dark mode the ability to change the on-screen buttons and capacitive ones and remap them do whatever you want I just wish they were actual icons they're just dots I kept forgetting when I set them for 3,000 million power battery is fine it'll last you all day but what's crazy to me is the - charging we've seen fast charging before but oneplus did rather what they license is pretty unique so to quote oneplus - charge carries more current than other fast reading solutions at lower temperatures normally heat generated through charging dissipated through the phone itself meaning phone gets super warm this usually causes performance issues during active charging so if you're trying to actually use the phone while it's going on you'll see the CPU or GPU throttling by shifting the power management system and the heat dispersion elements to your - charger very little he's ever gonna reach your oneplus is 3 so what that means is you can still use your phone and slick the fast charging but it also means you got to carry that - charging brick round with you to get the benefit so cameras a big deal for smartphones nowadays and our own ROM free - did a whole video comparing the camera on the oneplus we to some of the best on the market watch it but TL DR or I guess this case he'll DW cameras really really good it holds its own against some of the best in the market so the answer here should be super obvious from beginning yes I'd absolutely buy this phone not only when I buy this phone I'd buy this phone for everybody who wants to get a new phone there's almost becoming no reason to spend more than $400 for smartphone that is very low sacrifice here at all you're missing out on 2k you're missing out on expandable storage and expandable memory and the omission of waterproofing or some sort of water resistance is a big one but those things are not paramount to you there's almost no nothing to knock this phone for it's well-built it's fast screen is good battery life is solid and charges just stupid fast in about 30 minutes yet sixty-seven percent charge on your phone so for me buying the oneplus is a no-brainer in fact I will be buying one to use as my daily phone what do you guys think about the oneplus 3 or any of those things I mentioned big emissions a reason for you not to buy it do you have to have water resistance get expandable storage expandable battery I've heard people screaming for years I want to flag your phone for a lower price and if you've been in that camp you have to expect some sort of sacrifices and I think the ones that oneplus made were strategically smart so what about you guys but I'm generally kind of busy especially in the mornings I sometimes forget to eat breakfast and when I do usually my breakfast is too nonfat Greek yogurts but I've eaten four I mean probably the better part of five years here the folks at Soylent reached out and said hey do you want to try our products to see if you like it so I said sure I've heard a lot about it if you don't know what Soylent is it's kind of the galaxy's the easiest meal it's a meal in a bottle at the Soylent 2.0 all the ingredients are FDA approved it's convenient healthy alternative to just a fast food it's vegan in case that's important to you put in the fridge open this up and you get a full calories worth of meals and full meals worth of vitamins everything else you would need from an average meal to get you through your day in just a few seconds or a minute depending on how fast we want to drink it it's been my go-to for breakfast down for the past almost three and a half weeks and I'm much more full than I am after having my Greek yogurts so if you're traveling you're not be able to eat on an airplane or if you're too busy to stop and eat food so islands are really solid healthy alternative it tastes pretty neutral nuts by design it's got a neutral flavor profiles you add flavor if you want putting some juice now we're just Rica Taz is like I do give this shot if you want to me let's quick easy and healthy go to Soylent calm / TechnoBuffalo link will be down below they give you 50% off your first case and also get donate for meals to the World Food Program which is a nice socially conscious thing to do as well there's a product that I use legitimately every day and one that I enjoy so something you guys would like to enjoy to check them out
