That sweet and gentle aluminum feel... ???

The quality feel is as good as any >700€ phone IMO.

The only negative point (in most aluminium/metal smartphones used to be) is buttons rocker (volume and power). I talked with the official chat and they answered me is normal. But with 2 years guarantee don't worry me.

My previoue Moto X pure had better material quality...

Op3t good also but i don't like aluminium material ...so i use spigen case new hybrid and its ok now

The buttons on my 3 felt more sturdy than the black 3T. I wonder if it is because of the paint. Not sure. Either way, it is built extraordinarily well and easily exceeds most other phones in terms of quality.

It's great, no issues. Works like any other phone would

A couple of problems, but not deal-breakers:
1. Weak vibration feedback
2. Speaker a little weak, easily gets overdriven, could break if always used in full volume

Highest quality ever experienced, nothing more to say

The power button and volume rocker are little clumsly and loose , i hate that but i love the tactile feedback they give upon pressing.
Overall good built quality

My black 3T has small dents/scratches running across the top of it, the paint is chipping off on the top edge a bit. I've taken good care of the phone, it looks like something might have been trying to eat it... Lol...

Otherwise, great feeling phone.

No issues with build quality. My gunmetal 3T feels like a premium device that would usually cost $650+. I like how they used sapphire glass for camera lens cover and ceramic for FPS. Definitely feels higher quality than my Nexus 6P.

What? I had one Moto X Pure and it looks like **** compared to OP3T.

How a device looks doesn't always show the build quality. The Moto XPE may not look as nice as the 3T but the build quality is very good. Same with the Nexus 6.

My screen went blank within a month of normal usage and I really doubt about the quality of components used as it is also a known issue with oneplus 3T.

I love the build of the OP3T, the smooth and solid feel in the hand is superb , the buttons offer the most tactile feel i've ever had. the only gripe i have is the antenna bands get dirty over time when used with a TPU case and the steel rim near the camera loses paint

my 3T slided off my pocket while riding my scooter ~30mph, no cover/bumper/anything
Rescued and - with surprise and relief - realized was still pretty much intact! The only "major" damage was to the rear camera glass, which has a vertical crack: this sort of refrains a bit the light when i take pictures, but is still usable.

It's just a great feel in the hand No homo

The 3T is a beautifully machined phone. Very nice to hold and use, very slim.

It's a well crafted phone.
