Despite its limited product portfolio, OnePlus has
managed to make a mark on the smartphone industry. The Chinese company launched
with the OnePlus One
(Review) in 2014 and earned positive reactions from users worldwide. The OnePlus 2,
launched in 2015, wasn't received as well because of software bugs and
fingerprint sensor issues, which we pointed in our review. Then, the more
affordable OnePlus X
launched last year but wasn't able to impress us as well. Most recently, the OnePlus 3
was launched earlier this year, and set a new benchmark in terms of
performance, design, and camera for smartphones at its price level.
The company's flagship OnePlus 3
(Review) has now received a mid-cycle upgrade in the form of the OnePlus 3T
which brings some interesting updates. Despite looking exactly like the
original, this new model has a faster processor, a higher resolution front
camera, a higher capacity battery, and more inbuilt storage. The OnePlus 3T
also comes in an all-new Gunmetal colour.
At the India launch of the OnePlus 3T, Vikas Agarwal,
General Manager, OnePlus
India confirmed to Gadgets 360 that the company will continue to sell the OnePlus 3,
though ultimately focus will move to the upgraded OnePlus 3T.
We had chance to get a look at the all-new OnePlus 3T for a short amount of time, and here
are our initial impressions.
When it comes to design, we had said that
OnePlus
nailed it with the OnePlus 3.
The company used anodized aluminium and ditched the sandstone rear that had
become synonymous with the OnePlus One. Thankfully, the OnePlus 3T
uses the same design and looks exactly like its sibling. The new Gunmetal colour
reminds us of HTC's recent metal-bodied flagships, which is emphasised by
the antenna bands running across the back and a protruding camera bump.
Moreover, the OnePlus 3T
is sturdy and feels light at 158 grams even though the OnePlus 3
has the same dimensions and weight.
The OnePlus 3T features a 5.5-inch full-HD
(1080x1920-pixel) display with a density of 401ppi. The company has opted for
an Optic Amoled
panel and uses Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on top. The display is bright with
satisfactory colour
reproduction, and viewing angles as well as visibility under bright indoor
lighting was good.
The OnePlus 3T runs on OxygenOS,
which is based on Android Marshmallow. This means that it offers Android's
updated app permissions system, Now On Tap, and Doze Mode features. At the
event, Agarwal
stressed that the version of OxygenOS on the OnePlus 3T is now more refined. We couldn't
check out the UI of the OnePlus 3T
in very much detail at the launch event, but you can look forward to our full
review.
One of the biggest improvements to the OnePlus 3T
is that it packs the upgraded quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC. Two
cores are clocked at 1.6GHz and two at 2.35GHz. There's also integrated Adreno 530
graphics. The phone has 6GB of RAM. To recall, the OnePlus 3
uses the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC with Adreno 530 graphics and also 6GB of RAM. In our
limited time with the OnePlus 3T,
we found that the phone was snappy in terms of speed and responsiveness, while
also able to handle multitasking without any lag. We will have to reserve our
verdict on the performance of the OnePlus 3T until we get a chance to put it
through our detailed review process.
Another major upgrade on the OnePlus 3T
is its front camera. The new smartphone sports a 16-megapixel front camera with
a Samsung 3P8SP sensor. We took some crisp selfies at the well-lit event venue, and
low-light performance was impressive as well. Photos came out with a good
amount of detail. The OnePlus 3T
has with the same 16-megapixel rear camera as the OnePlus 3,
with a Sony IMX298 sensor which is capable of 4K video recording. At the event,
OnePlus
claimed that the new OnePlus 3T
ships with sapphire glass on the rear lens. We managed to get few shots from
the rear camera and noticed very minimum noise even in an indoor dim lighting.
We'll look into this in more detail soon.
The OnePlus 3T also gas a 3400mAh battery compared
to the 3000mAh one in the OnePlus 3. With this bumped-up battery size, the
OnePlus 3T
should take on high-end handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge which has a
3600mAh battery, and the Google Pixel XL with its 3450mAh one. The OnePlus 3T
also supports Dash Charge fast charging technology.
Final thoughts
The OnePlus 3T will be available in India from
December 14, and like previous OnePlus models, it will be exclusive to Amazon
India. The 64GB OnePlus 3T
has been priced at Rs.
29,999 while the 128GB version has been priced at 34,999.
The OnePlus 3T is the company's most expensive
offering in India thus far, and will be competing with every other brand's
flagship. As of now, the only other phones to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821
processor are the Asus ZenFone 3
Deluxe and Google Pixel (and Pixel XL).
Considering that the OnePlus 3T
comes just five months after the launch of the previous flagship OnePlus 3,
it's hard to guess what market response will be like. The improvements do make
it a great deal for those who are looking for a flagship experience at a
relatively low price point.
