Chinese startup OnePlus has announced its latest high-end device, the OnePlus 3. Like previous models the 3 offers flagship-level specifications and features at a mid-range price point. It is also the first OnePlus device that doesn't require an invitation to purchase. It can be ordered now on the OnePlus website for $399.
The main camera module is centered around a Sony IMX298 16MP sensor with on-sensor phase detection. The chip comes in the 1/2.8" format and has a pixel size of 1.12-micron. The lens has a fast F2.0 aperture and optical image stabilization. The system is capable of recording Raw image data, 4K video and 720p slow-motion footage. At the front an 8MP Sony IMX179 sensor with 1.4-micron pixel size and F2.0 aperture is capable of recording digitally stabilized 1080p Full-HD video in addition to self-portraits.
The rest of the specification reads very nicely as well, especially considering the 3's price point. Images can be viewed and composed on a 5.5" 1080p AMOLED display that is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. Android 6 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and a generous 6GB of RAM. There are 64GB of internal storage which unfortunately is not expandable. A fingerprint reader, dual-SIM connectivity and NFC are on board as well. The 3,000 mAh battery supports quick charging and all the technology is wrapped up in an anodized aluminum body that is available in Graphite and Soft Gold colors.
It has dual sim card making it a potentially great phone for traveling photographers. In the US or wherever your home is, you get your regular cell provider. Out on the road, get the one that will cover you broadly in whatever area you plan to work.
What is limiting the brains of these companies all competing for the "one" name? They ran out of finding an innovative name? OnOne, Phase One, Capture One, One Plus, ... These names are really boring, aren't they?
Just ordered one. I don't need a terrific cameraphone, since I use cameras 95% of times, but having a decent one in my pocket could help for that remaining 5%.
I don't care about no SD slot, as long as the memory is 64GB. Rather, I'd have liked a QHD display. But that'll be left for oneplus 4 :)
Looks fantastic and half the price of the iPhone - though translation of $ to £ is usually abysmal. Ill be very interested to see reviews of the cameras.
A family member of me has the Oneplus X, it's a budget phone for the price and by means features and ecstatics a wonderful phone. Only the camera it's not that much.
