Something I just have to say out loud
Before OP3T I had a GS6 and before that one I had been a huge Nexus fan - owned 4, 5, 6, 7 (still love the line). Blah, blah in general I've had a bunch of phones to deal with.
This week I had an opportunity to get my hands onto both iPhone 7 and iPad Mini 4 for a longer while
THIS was basically the moment I totally realised that there is INDEED no better way to go than our mighty OnePlus. Before 3T, I admit, I had some doubtful moments with Android (I was even thinking about giving iPhone a try) but now I'm totally convinced. The fluidity, smoothness and snappiness of the phone can't even be compared with Apple products. In every aspect and with every inch our chinese beast is just the best in the world.
I recommend the device to anyone regardless of what you use smartphones for. It's just the most complete package available. It's a thing from people for people in the best variant. Never been more happy with a phone, finally I feel it's truly mine.

Another happy owner here. In the past year I have used the Huawei P9, Xiaomi Mi Mix, Huawei Mate 9 Pro and now a black OnePlus 3T. In terms of overall satisfaction the OnePlus scores highest for me. It is not the best in all aspects (e.g. Mate 9 Pro screen is nicer, Mi Mix battery life is ridiculously long, P9 camera is marginally better) but in terms of doing everything very well across the board it ticks all the boxes. Form factor is nice, speed is flawless, battery life is very good especially coupled with fast charging, camera is decent. It is all the more impressive when you consider its cost versus these other flagships. The OnePlus is a keeper for me.
Since owning OnePlus One and OnePlus Two never went back to any other phones. Had Nexus 5 before that. Last year I bought Sony XZ just because of its water resistant feature and it was on sale... Couple month later here we go I came back to OP3T midnight black. Truth is there is no differences in overall usability of pricey phones and cheaper phones just few differences such as extra features or mpxls. OP is always my first choice. Just another happy camper 
Love this phone
I've always had iphones from 36 to 6s. Last November I jumped ship to Android. Had a lg v20, but was just to big. Discovered the Oneplus3t, and pulled the trigger. I've never been happier!
Even more now that I've started rooting and playing with roms. I hope Oneplus doesn't screw this up, it's absolutely awesome.

Lots of issues
* missing notifications
* screen way too bright in the dark
* sound from speaker is bad
* apps get closed by itself (for what there are 6 GB?)
* weak vibration
I regret having bought it.

That's too bad, I got the midnight black and the oneplus black snap on case and RR rom, I think mines pretty dope. Lol
Love my 3T. Best Android phone I've ever used. Faster than my iPhone 7+ and comparable battery life, too. I rooted it, but am quite pleased with Nougat/Oxygen as the OS. I'm really looking forward to the next iteration. :highfive:
The only oversight is the lack of microSD support. I still haven't filled even half of my 128GB on board storage, so can't complain.

Just have to brag somwhere, and sice my friends dont care this is the place.
Just got my op3t today, and god! Was blown away from the start. Everything is so smooth, clean, simple and perfect!! And at this price range. Im speechless. To get this much value for the money takes me back to the good old days!
Cheers

iPhone user for the last 6 years. I've jailbroken mainly all my phones, and I was honestly looking to root my oneplus 3T.
turns out, I don't need it. battery life is ridiculous, I can even download youtube videos on the go, dragging and dropping files is a breeze, no need for that stupid itunes. It's a little big for my taste, but I think I'll grow into it. android phones have really come a long way. hopefully oneplus will continue to support this device for a long time.

Having recently purchased the OnePlus 3T (used) here were my findings:
I found the phone to be fast but rather overrated, yes even for the price and it doesn't compare to my Nexus 6P.
My main concerns (and you may presume I liked everything else) were....
1. The camera is only average and while installing the Google camera app with HDR+ (root required) did improve things slightly, it still only an average snapper. I hope the 5 with it's dual lens takes better photos than this.
2. The screen at 1900x1080 is only average.
3. While rooting this device and installing a custom rom was simple, putting it back to stock was a complete nightmare, Their website shows "how to" using TWRP and installing an .img file but their only download option is a zip file. Apart from that, when trying to get back to stock, the phone thinks it's a OnePlus 3 so the OnePlus 3T stock rom fails with an error 7. Many other issues getting back to stock but I got there in the end. This is ridiculous compared to getting Samsung, Sony or Google back to stock.
I owned the phone for 2 weeks and sold it for the same price I paid for it. I bought it for the experience and to sample all the good things I'd heard about OnePlus. Yeah, it was OK but maybe OnePlus are a little overrated.

Never been more happy with a phone, finally I feel it's truly mine.2Absolutely love my 3T/128. It is blazingly fast with an unencumbered OS, quick and seamless updates. Compared to my older Samsung..............well, there isn't any comparison. And now I have Google Assistant on it.................who needs a Pixel??? I am running stock OS and not even thinking about rooting.........who needs it? Using it for e-mail and social media................my poor laptop gets the cold shoulder now. This was the best modest investment I have made in quite a few years.2
