OnePlus 3 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	The Mirror | Jeff Parsons OnePlus' latest smartphone has the price and specs to tear you away from the likes of the iPhone 7 or Samsung Galaxy S7. No microSD option is a minor point in the face of what is an incredibly impressive smartphone. It feels every inch a top-tier flagship and I've got no problem recommending it as an alternative to the likes of Apple or Samsung. Read full review
100	Alphr | Curtis Moldrich The OnePlus 3 represents a killer combination of price, performance and design, and there's no other phone that gets close. You should buy one. Now. Read full review
100	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow In a way, it's a shame the screen isn't just a little bit better, as it's the one thing holding the OnePlus 3 back from true greatness. Despite that, it's still a fantastic smartphone and its combination of super-fast processing speeds, massive battery life and a pretty decent camera make it excellent value for money.

100	Stuff | Andrew Williams The OnePlus 3 is a big brilliant bargain of a phone that looks and feels as good as a premium price mobile, but costs half of it. Read full review
100	V3 | Matt Farrington-Smith The OnePlus 3 is a tour-de-force and firmly delivers on its flagship killer status. Read full review
100	T3 | Spencer Hart OnePlus has nailed that 'premium' feel with the new aluminium unibody, and the performance is right up there with the big dogs. What's even more impressive is how polished this smartphone feels. Whereas previous generations lacked finesse, the OnePlus 3, from software, to packaging, to hardware, is fully thought out and realized. Read full review
100	Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti Fantastic battery life coupled with Dash charge, a superstar processor and a 6GB RAM makes this a device to invest in sharpish. The camera isn't the best but just very good and there is no expandable storage just 64GB onboard, and despite these, this is a superstar phone. Read full review
100	Digital Spy | Luke Johnson If you covet the best than the smartphone world has to offer but can't afford the badges and designer labels associated with it, the OnePlus 3 is the phone for you... No other handset offers more for less. And c'mon, who doesn't love value for money? Read full review

95	TechSpot | Tim Schiesser For the most part, the OnePlus 3 will satisfy the wide majority of users and use cases. It's hard to recommend any other flagship smartphone.

90	ZDNet | Sandra Vogel The mix of hardware design, features, performance and Oxygen OS extras is very well balanced in the OnePlus 3, and the result is an excellent all-rounder with some very attractive capabilities. Anyone looking for a new handset off-contract should consider it. The OnePlus 3 is quite simply the best handset in its price range right now. Read full review
90	The Inquirer | Matt Farrington-Smith The OnePlus 3 is a tour-de-force and firmly delivers on its flagship killer status. Read full review
90	Neowin | Vlad Dudau OnePlus set out to create an affordable, high-quality flagship device, with great performance, impressive specifications and an excellent price/quality ratio. Read full review
90	SlashGear | Chris Burns For its price you're getting a device that has everything you'll likely be looking for in a top-tier smartphone, including an excellent camera, a display that's just as bright and sharp as the best on the market, a modern processor (made by Qualcomm), and a built-in community of software modders and OnePlus superfans. Read full review
90	Gizmodo UK | Darren Orf Where previous OnePlus phones were marred with compromises, the OnePlus 3 makes almost none. For the price, the OnePlus 3 is the absolute best phone you can buy. Read full review
90	BGR | Zach Epstein .... a stunning device that is easily OnePlus's most impressive accomplishment to date. Read full review
90	Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton As an overall package, as is always the case with OnePlus phones, the third-generation flagship killer is incredible value for money .. it offers many of the same features and specifications of phones twice the price. Read full review
90	Coolsmartphone | Matteo Doni The OnePlus 3 signals to the world that OnePlus has come of age. Ready availability, great value hardware, well tuned software and no gimmicky marketing. It's like OnePlus has grown up. Read full review
90	NDTV Gadgets | Ali Pardiwala This is a phone which excels in every department, and OnePlus has even fixed the issues we had with reliability and build quality on some of its previous devices. The inclusion of important features such as NFC, an accurate fingerprint sensor, an excellent Amoled screen and fast charging also finally means that this is a phone that checks all of the boxes... However, the OnePlus 3 isn't completely perfect. Read full review
90	International Business Times | James Billington Powerful, pretty and handsomely priced, what's not to like? We tried to find something we didn't enjoy but this is a fantastic smartphone, inside and out. Read full review
90	AnandTech | Brandon Chester ... the OnePlus 3 should be seriously considered by all smartphone buyers, and it's a phone that I would personally recommend based both on its technical merit and how I simply enjoy using it on a daily basis. Read full review
90	Mashable | Raymond Wong The OnePlus 3 is a remarkable smartphone that crushes more expensive phones with style, power and price. Read full review
90	Wired UK | Victoria Woollaston The OnePlus 3 is almost perfect. It hasn't scrimped on style or substance and there are so many seemingly insignificant touches that actually make a vast difference to the overall impression of the phone. Read full review
90	Tom's Guide | Sam Rutherford While its camera's low light performance could be a bit better, the OnePlus 3 gives you more for your money than just about any phone in the market. Read full review
90	PC Advisor | Chris Martin It's a little bit more expensive than its predecessor but it's still a ridiculous price considering the design, build and hardware on offer which matches rivals but also beats them in some areas. There's very little to dislike here unless you really need things like expandable storage and waterproofing. Read full review
90	MKBHD | Marques Brownlee [OnePlus are] showing up, crushing the spec game and selling it for less than the phone you were thinking of buying, Read full review
89	NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt The OnePlus 3 is a successful smartphone that not only offers a solid configuration, but also looks good and is well-built... This is complaining on a high standard, and even if the technical aspects are not enough to ascend the winner's podium, OnePlus has once again provided a strong device that is appealing. Read full review
87	phoneArena | Victor H OnePlus does seem to have nailed it. The OnePlus 3 is in many ways like an HTC phone - great design without much going on in terms of special features. It works well. And at that price, it's definitely something special. Read full review
87	Engadget | Chris Velazco OnePlus is back with its third-generation flagship phone, and it has more than enough horsepower to duke it out with devices twice its price. Read full review
86	The Verge | Dan Seifert The OnePlus 3 might be the first affordable phone that truly makes good on the promise to be as great as the high-priced flagships from the likes of Samsung and HTC. It has everything we've come to expect from high-end Android phones - fast processor, premium design, capable camera, quick charging, a great display. Read full review
84	Android Authority | Joshua Vergara The OnePlus 3 is a great device at an even better price, but in order to make this phone appeal to everyone, it feels like OnePlus actually had to settle in certain aspects. Read full review
80	TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey OnePlus 3's camera is easily the best we have seen on a OnePlus device and much better than some on others. Yes, we would have liked a richer interface, and something more than a token flash, but with the OnePlus 3, we can safely say that the company has taken a step closer to camera greatness. Read full review
80	Firstpost | Nimish Sawant But is this OnePlus's best phone yet? Without a doubt. Read full review
80	OtherGadgette | Holly Brockwell This is a big step up for OnePlus. An all-round excellent-value phone with very few downsides and some impressive upsides. There's no wireless charging, no microSD and a couple more processor cores wouldn't have gone astray, but the screen's a beauty, the camera's a workhorse, it has six gig of RAM and it's half the price of its rivals.... I've been recommending this phone left, right, and centre. Read full review
80	IT PRO | Alan Lu, Rene Millman Although let down by a few niggles, this is still a superlative smartphone that shows some of the big household names how it's done Read full review
80	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman OnePlus managed to create a compelling handset in the 3. The phone covers all the necessary bases to be deemed a flagship, and yet it doesn't even come close to flagship pricing. Read full review
80	Digital Trends | Andy Boxall No phone gives you more for the money than the stunning OnePlus 3. Read full review
80	TechnoBuffalo | Brandon Russell There's so much to like about the OnePlus 3-and I'm not the only one who's smitten. It has a wonderful (if unimaginative) design, clean software, and powerful specs, all expertly engineered to create one of the most well-rounded devices money can buy. Read full review
80	Mobile Syrup | Igor Bonifacic This is the easiest OnePlus device to recommended. If you're in the market for a new smartphone, then give it consideration... The best part of the entire OnePlus 3 software experience is that you don't have to use any of these features.... When it comes to the device itself, the OnePlus 3 is not the no compromise affair OnePlus has built its entire brand around. Read full review
80	pocketnow | Juan Carlos Bagnell The OnePlus 3 gets us pretty darn close to a true blue top tier phone experience, for a lot less cash. Judged by that criteria, it's a successful experiment from a company we're happy to see grow up. Read full review
80	Android Central | Andrew Martonik The OnePlus 3 is solid, fast, gets great battery life, takes awesome photos and isn't subject to any carrier bloatware or or other software cruft. If there's one knock you can put on the OnePlus 3, it's that the phone doesn't bring any individual feature or experience to the table that we haven't seen from other manufacturers this year. Read full review
70	AndroidPit | Omar Hamwi The OnePlus 3 offers performance, design and value that few manufacturers can beat. Read full review
70	Wired | Brian Barrett The OnePlus 3 won't disappoint you. And if horsepower and customizability are you top priorities, you should get one, regardless of your budget. But if you care more about fit and finish, you probably can find something that better suits your needs. Read full review
