In this review we will go through the two phones of one plus ,the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus 3.
One of the most interesting questions that we like to look at is, should you upgrade? for OnePlus fans if you're coming from one plus 1 well that makes a lot of sense OnePlus 3 is an easy phone to recommend but what about if you're coming from a OnePlus 2.I am often reluctant to recommend that one year upgrade so is the one plus three a compelling enough option for us to change our phone, now starting with the design and build quality I think I like the one plus two a little bit better especially how it feels in the hand. Personally I like the sandstone back cover , its a really nice creamy texture and material. I'm also a big fan of that sort of metal edge with grippy back combination also like that the one plus two is a little bit thicker that extra casing helps prevent the camera module from bulging out of the back of the phone and one last personal preference, I do like it when the controls for a phone or on one side we got the power button and the volume buttons on the right side of the phone now when these buttons are properly delineated your thumb has easy reach to control the power and volume but really this is a photography thing I really like when the buttons are on one side of the phone because when the phone is mounted in a cradle or when you're trying to do a ground-level shot all of your controls are easily reached I can power the phone on or I can change the volume or use the volume rocker as some kind of sutter or zoom control.
The OnePlus 3 is certainly an attractive device and really it makes more sense to have this aluminum unibody frame and to have a removable back plate which you can't even get to the battery on this phone it's just lacking the charm or style, Iam personally not a big fan of the camera module sticking out this far from the back of the phone now OnePlus is addressing this with little clip on back plates and that's kind of fun they even have one which resembles the Sandstone Feel from the OnePlus 2, it's just not quite as elegant a solution when it's just us part of the phone and this thing is just clipped to the rear now both of these phones are very similar in the handle I do like the slightly more rounded corners on the OnePlus 3 over the sharper corners on the OnePlus 2. And when you have smaller hands like mine you got a brace in the pad of your hand that's a little bit nicer is a little bit more comfortable especially when you're trying to reach around on a 5.5 inch screen.
When looking at the both devices, immediately you're going to notice that slightly more saturated OLED screen over the LCD IPS on the OnePlus 2, we have had some people sharing concerns about the pentile sub-pixel arrangement on the OnePlus 3, in daily usage I can't say it's actually impacted my usage on this phone text and find Details still looks pretty good we're talking about a 1080p display at a 5.5 inch diagonal this is not the highest resolution of most pixel dense for the last couple months when used.
Once you start looking at performance it's just no contest the OnePlus 3 just stomps all over the OnePlus 2, no big surprises were looking at a Qualcomm 820 processor over the Qualcomm 810 now I know there's been a lot of software optimizations are probably some hardware fixes that went into this version of the 810 as opposed to the earlier releases from last year but performance is still hasn't been as consistent as I hoped it would be on that chip set it's not the fault of OnePlus, we're really pointing this at Qualcomm.
I have been getting better battery life on the OnePlus 3. It's more powerful and it lasts longer and knowing that the OnePlus 3 is little less compromised by looking at the future Mobility payments and having an NFC radio on board I knew that it was a significant step on the OnePlus 2.
Its just a small comparison i hope you guys like it.
