Let’s put our hands on OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet

Perhaps not the most well-known brand name in the smartphone arena right now, this flagship device can go toe to toe against any iPhone or any expensive phablet from Samsung and all of the other giants out there.

There are definitely some drawbacks to this device (that we will touch on in just a moment), but none of them are really deal breakers for most people. Let’s dig a little bit deeper into this OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet review!

Initial impressions

The very first thing that you’re going to notice about this smart phone is the absolutely dropdead gorgeous 5.5 inch HD LED screen that reproduces colors in stunning clarity while offering one of the most sensitive touch screens available today.

The overall industrial design of this phone is absolutely fantastic, and it feels really heavy and premium in the hand compared to a lot of the cheap plastic options out there on the market today. It certainly doesn’t hurt that it’s able to run Android AND Windows at the exact same time – something that we are going to touch on in just a moment.

Industrial design

Machined out of high grade aluminum and steel and using Corning Guerrilla Glass throughout, this is a premium phone designed for a premium user with only the highest quality components used and real attention to detail.

The power button, volume rocker, and touch sensitive buttons are very intuitively designed. The dual SIM tray guarantees that you can use this phone anywhere around the world, and the elegant placement of the front and rear facing cameras allow you to snap picture-perfect photos anytime you like in any lighting situation.

Power and processor

Under the hood of the OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet is a QUALCOMM Snapdragon 821 Quad Core 2.35 GHz processor, a real beast in the world of mobile computing.

You’re going to be able to rock and roll with as many applications open at the same time as you like, you’re going to be able to flip back and forth from one mobile operating system to another seamlessly, and all of your media is going to stream and playback smoothly and without interruption.

OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet Specifications

• 6GB RAM
• 64GB ROM
• 5.5 inch Corning Gorilla Glass 4
• Optic AMOLED Screen
• OxygenOS
• Snapdragon 821 Quad Core 2.35GHz
• 16.0MP Front Camera
• Fingerprint Sensor Type-C

Battery life

This is a phone that has been built with power users in mind, and the battery should last at least eight hours on a single charge – even if you are using it nonstop. Regular users should expect 24 hours out of a single battery charge, something almost unheard of in smartphones today.

Because it uses the new USB C connection for charging and data transfer you’re also going to be able to charge the entire battery of this phone from completely dead to 100% in less than 40 minutes. There are quick charge capabilities in this phone that allow the OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet to go from 0% to 60% in 15 minutes, offering you a supercharge when time is tight.

This phone definitely gets more than a little bit warm when need is charging up though. That’s something that you’re going to have to be aware of how he and something that might be a little bit uncomfortable for those that want to use their phone while they have it charging at work or school.

Operating system

As mentioned above, this phone runs both the latest version of Android and the latest version of the Windows mobile operating system. The word on the street is that there is a new Windows mobile operating system coming out in the next year, one that’s going to turn the entire smartphone world on its head again – and if that’s true, you’re going to be able to run it on this platform.

But even if that ends up being nothing more than a technology community rumor (there’s a 50-50 chance that’s true) you’ll still be able to go with all major Android updates the day they are released – and that’s pretty special, too.

Drawbacks

This is definitely a phone for premium users, and it comes with a premium price tag right out of the gate. You’re going to have to break your bank account open a little bit to get your hands on the brand-new OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet, that’s for sure.

Secondly, you’re going to have a tough time getting your hands on accessories designed specifically for this phone in particular. It isn’t made by any of the major companies out there, so cases, screen protectors, and other accessories aren’t going to be as Bradley available.

Final verdict

At the end of the day, there are some pros and cons that you’re going to bump into when you decide to take advantage of everything that the new OnePlus 3T 4G Phablet has to offer. But we can confidently tell you that you will have an almost impossible time finding a more premium level flagship phone that offers this blend of power, performance, and price anywhere else.
