The OnePlus 3 (also abbreviated as OP3) is a smartphone produced by OnePlus. It was revealed on 14 June 2016.[1][2] The phone was unveiled in a virtual reality event and OnePlus offered its customers Loop VR headsets to experience the event using their phones, giving away 30,000 free headsets in lieu of a traditional press conference.[3][4]
History
Release
The OnePlus 3 is the first OnePlus device to not be part of the invite system,[5] which OnePlus had used for its last three devices to regulate flow with inadequate manufacturing for the inevitable high demand.
Following some controversy, the OxygenOS 3.2.1 update began rollout on 7 July 2016, with improved RAM management, an alternate sRGB display mode in developer options, and various bug fixes.[6]
Discontinuation
An updated version of the device, called the OnePlus 3T, was announced by the company on 15 November 2016 and released on 22 November. It improves upon the OnePlus 3 by including the newer Snapdragon 821 chipset, a 16MP front camera, along with a 3400mAh non-removable battery.[7][8] Sales of the OnePlus 3 were discontinued on 17 November with the OnePlus 3T replacing it. It was also announced the phone will share the same software update cycle with its successor starting from Android N.[9][10]
After owners of the phone expressed concern whether their phone would be abandoned after the release of the
Android 9 Update
On 30 June 2018, OnePlus updated their update policy for the OnePlus 3 and 3T, opting to update to
Specifications
The OnePlus 3 features a new metal back design, similar to that of an
The device is slightly smaller than its predecessor, the OnePlus 2. It's 2.5mm thinner, 0.9mm shorter, and 0.2mm narrower, but still has the same screen size, at 5.5 inches (140 mm) across diagonally. The display is still 1920×1080 px, comparable to that of the previous two models, but the 3 is the first flagship OnePlus to have an optic AMOLED display. As is typical for most smartphones, the OnePlus 3 features Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection.[21]
The OnePlus 3 is also the first OnePlus phone to ship with only 64 GB of storage available, as all other OnePlus devices have shipped with a 16 GB option also. The onboard storage is UFS 2.0, but there is no option for memory expansion via an SD card. The OnePlus 3 supports Dual SIM cards, but lacks LTE band 13,[22] which means it will not work with Verizon. The OnePlus 3 will also not work with Sprint due to Sprint's use of an IMEI/MEID whitelist which does not include most OnePlus devices.
For the rear-facing camera, the OnePlus 3 has a 16 MP f/2.0
Other features include the alert slider, originally added to the OnePlus 2.
A fingerprint scanner is also found at the bottom of the screen. It is estimated to unlock after approximately 0.3 seconds, becoming one of the fastest scanners on a phone. The fingerprint scanner also has a ceramic coating to avoid scratches.[25][26]

Reception
General reception included positive reviews from both critiques and reviewers for a premium designed phone for an affordable price.[35] But reviewers were quick to point out the camera bezel with a subpar camera. Reviewers also critiqued the phone not having an SD card slot as the phone only came with 64 GB of storage.[36][37] Reports also claim that the phone experienced heating issues.[38][39] Several reports also claimed that despite the OnePlus 3's 6 GB of RAM, the phone could not handle more than 3 or 4 applications at one time. Ars Technica added that OnePlus configured its build of Android to impose an artificial limit of 20 applications stored in RAM at a time.[40] OnePlus indicated this was a deliberate choice to maximize battery life.[41]
