Anyone else absolutely loving this phone?

Honestly, I have to say I'm pretty surprised. Wasn't expecting much from OnePlus after the One and 2 were mostly "meh." But the OnePlus 3? Holy crap. Great display, great battery life, great camera, awesome build quality, and an even better price. Can't believe they're only charging $400 for this thing.

For me, I've officially put the HTC 10 and Galaxy S7 in storage. Just wondering how your guys' experience has been with the phone so far.
 
I want to love this device , it looks great it's very fast and nice price , but do all android phones have battery life this bad. The phone goes from 7am to 10pm with 100% down to 20% with very little use only 90 minutes on screen time , doze is on and I don't even get any emails till I pick it up (and that's annoying). My old 2 year old iPhone 6 Plus goes down 10% and I get all my notifications I ran them side by side for a 3 day test.

Interesting. I've been averaging 4 hours+ of screen on time every day (drops about 25% for every hour of screen on time). For having a 3,000mAh battery -- it's fully exceeded my expectations. Was expecting far worse.

I'm sitting this one out,but,I was curious if the home button is similar to the one on the HTC 10,as far as fit/flushness.

I've given my M9 & Note4 the same treatment as you w/the 10 & s7:
I'll use 'em for a day or so,but,find myself drawn back to the HTC 10.

If not for the HTC 10,I'd possibly given the OP3 a look,lots to like,especially w/the RAM fixes already available......

Apart from the push issue, the phone does all I want it to do.

Nova prime launcher helps with Tesla addon for unread email numbers display

The push issue is major its a bit pointless having a smartphone and not get notified you have a message (even google inbox) doesnt push the message unless I pick up my phone and thats there own product.
 
So far my experience has been mostly positive. Battery life has been much better than my old Galaxy S5. I love the notification slider and home button fingerprint scanner, which is much more reliable. I no longer have all the AT&T and Samsung bloatware that can't be removed. It's so nice having control of my own phone.

My biggest gripe is with AT&T. They gave me the runaround with getting data on this phone. Since I had to get a new SIM, I took my phone to a company store and they told me no problem, gave me an activated Nano SIM and all seemed well. I went straight home where I have WiFi, so I didn't notice until the next morning that I wasn't getting data. So I went to their website and pulled up a chat window and that's when the trouble began. Long story short, they apparently have to enter each individual phone's IMEI number into a database in order to get data to work because it's not an "official" AT&T phone. And it took them almost 2 weeks to get to mine. Needless to say, I was very unhappy about that. But now that it's over and done, I like this phone a lot.
 
I've had the 1+ 3 for almost a month and a half - so far, I love it. It does everything I'm after - loaded MediaMonkey for music and Player.FM for Podcasts - both work great. I would like to try out Android Pay as well as the phone has NFC, but unfortunately it isn't in Canada yet.
 
I purchased directly from OnePlus 3 and use it in NL, Canada with Telus. Fantastic phone, very pleased with this purchase.
 
Absolutely loving this! :D:D:D

Personally, I fancied a change from the Samsung Galaxy phones and decided to give the, fairly, new start up company, OnePlus, a go and have the new OnePlus 3 model which has the same Snapdragon 820, quad core, chipset as the U.S. S7/Edge. In the U.K. this retails at £329 and in the U.S. $399 as compared to the S7 at £569/US$740 or the Edge at £639/US$830. Whilst it may lack some of the bells and whistles of the S7/Edge, (it is not water resistant and does not have a curved Edge screen), it comes without Samsung and carrier bloatware and is rootable and actively supported with updates, 5 regular OS updates in 14 weeks and 3 Community Builds for rooted users. Above all, it is, with 6GB of RAM, fast. As they say in the States... "You get more bang for your buck!" See An Tu Tu screenshots...
