OnePlus 3: A Phone Standing Out of the Crowd

BENGALURU: OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has come-up with a new smartphone OnePlus 3. The company has gained a significant ground in last couple of years with its OnePlus 1 and 2 smartphones. It offers reasonable price tag and specs that are on par or even better than some of the recent flagships.

The midrange smartphone OnePlus 3 is ready to punch above its class of smartphones. Priced at 27,999, the phone isn’t exactly meant to go head-to-head with its similar price bracket competitors like Xiaomi Mi 5 or LeEco Le Max 2 but eventually it can be a tough competitor for Galaxy S7 Edge or Apple iPhone 6s or LG modular G5 phones.

Ready to compete with the best handsets in the market, OnePlus 3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor like its rivals Xiaomi Mi 5, LeEco Le Max 2, Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5. Let’s take a quick view to see how it stands against other similar phones.

Both Xiaomi Mi 5 and OnePlus 3 have the same Sony Exmor RS IMX298 sensor for their primary cameras and carry common rear camera features such as phase detection autofocus and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). OnePlus 3 has a single-LED flash whereas Mi 5 has dual-LED flash.
