In addition, and this is one of its best features, it comes with 6 GB of RAM of the fastest type, LPDDR4. Once again, the company has been right in the camera section. The main one is equipped with a very bright lens (f 2.0) and a 16 megapixel sensor. The OnePlus 3 also runs on the latest version of OxygenOS, based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and comes with its own fast charging technology called Dash Charge. The device is already available at a price of 400 euros, a value that will position it as a great competitor.
New slimmer design
The new OnePlus 3 isn't built in plastic this time around. The company has chosen to incorporate an aluminum chassis that, while one of the thinnest available today, at just 7.35 millimeters thick, perhaps too much of HTC phones. For its part, the device mounts a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED screen with Full HD resolution . It also has a fingerprint reader located under the screen, which will allow us to make payments or increase security.
Processor and cameras to match
The OnePlus 3 has a processor Snapdragon 820 of Qualcomm. It is a chip that is present in the vast majority of high-end phones of the moment. In your case, accompanied by a 4 or 6 GB RAM of the LPDDR4 type , one of the fastest. Therefore, we are facing a team with an impressive performance, which is going to set the bar very high. With regard to storage capacity, you can choose two versions: one with 32 GB, which is the one with 4 GB RAM, and the other with 64 GB, which is the one with 6 GB of RAM. On the photographic section, the OnePlus 3It equips a 16 megapixel main camera with f 2.0 aperture and dual LED flash without the laser focus of its predecessor. The images will be sharper and the videos (with 4K resolution) much more professional, thanks to the incorporation of an electronic stabilizer, which further improves the elimination of vibrations. The camera for selfies and video calls, meanwhile, has a resolution of 8 megapixels.

In any case, the Asian firm has made use of the Dash Charge fast charging technology for the occasion, which achieves a 60% charge in just half an hour. Finally mention that the built-in operating system is Oxygen OS 3, a modification of Android 6.0. The One Plus 3 is already on sale in the United States and Europe at a price from 400 euros.
