OnePlus 3T - Software
Until a few days ago I would have said that the software of this Oneplus 3T it was definitely not up to the top of the range as it is, but to date it has changed slightly.
We have indeed finally the Oxygen 4.0.1 finally based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Browsing for the menus, always with one fluidity impressive, we realize the excellent work of optimization carried out by the Chinese brand. The update came in compliance with the promises made by Carl Pei, vice president of OnePlus, just the 31th December and that brings with it some news.
Few are the bloatware and customizations are reduced to a minimum, making theas a user fulfilling and how much more similar to Android Stock, in direct competition with the aforementioned Google Pixel.
Among the customizations we note the possibility of change at will functions of the keys and activate some interesting gestures both on and off screen.
Finally the possibility of the Multiscreen to fully exploit the full potential of a display of this size. Inside the menu related to it's possible winnower i colors o change little things related to theme. In short, a complete software e well optimized which is not yet in step with the software releases that we find on Google devices but that is very close.
OnePlus 3T - Connectivity and reception
The device has full support for 802.11 Wi-Fi a / b / g / n / ac Dual Band, who holds definitely good, even if it turns out slightly slow compared to other devices of the same price range.
With regard to the data / voice network general I did not notice differences from OnePlus 3, although I must admit that the last one OTA 4.0.1 ha improved further, even if of poco, reception. The change of cell è fast, only in the norm the passage between data network e Wi-Fi.
Il GPS it works good although it is very much affected by the presence of buildings in population centers. The fixed and in any case fast e accurate thanks to the presence of the GPS / A-GPS / GLONASS / Beidou.
Oneplus 3T - Audio quality
The compartment audio results average: it feels good but sacrifices slightly the frequencies old and those basse. In headset the situation Migliora much thanks to the implementation of a new one equalizer in the last update.
In capsule the quality is from reference, even when the signal is not at maximum.
OnePlus 3T - Autonomy
Accomplice the better energy management the Snapdragon 821 and of 400 mAh more of battery compared to OnePlus 3, the results in this area are really good.
Despite its decidedly intensive and prolonged use, i 3400 mAh of this OnePlus 3T they always brought me in the evening with about 6 hours of active screen.
Once unloading then it will be enough 1 hours o poco more per reload completely thanks to the fast Dash Charge.
Oneplus 3T - Conclusions
Surely this OnePlus 3T confirmed its reputation as a device Android more powerful, but maybe it is not yet the top.
Qualche smear here and there and one software still not quite refined, they may not make many love it. 439 € e 479 € for the version of 64 / 128 GB they insert it in a context in which it faces the street prices of many devices of more prestigious or emblazoned brands. In short, this OnePlus 3T it's a best buy in half.
And what do you think?
