Quality feel (use of materials) - OnePlus 3T Real Life Review

Rate this thread to express how you think the OnePlus 3T feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).

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.

Not sure where to post this... How is the GPS on this phone?

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.

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.

Quick review after having the Lumia 900 for 5 days...

I wanted to take the time to post a few pros and cons for those considering the device and answer some questions for those that have them. So here we go...
Pros:
- The build quality is absolutely superb; Nokia has always nailed this and the Lumia 900 doesn't leave anything to be desired.
- Antenna is strong. I went to some known problem areas and I had no drops. Typically Samsung and Nokia are the strongest in terms of reception quality. I'm glad I can experience Nokia antenna's in the states again!
- The clear black display technology lives up to all the hype. Outdoor visability is fantastic.
- Overall stability and speed is excellent, partly due to WP7, but much more zip than the Focus that I have also used.
- Speaker is strong and has decent range.
- Typical excellent Nokia voice quality, both for me and those I call.
- Battery life is excellent...although I find myself playing with the thing all day. Overall it holds up pretty well to the task.
- Front camera is excellent.
- Stylish if you are the stylish type!
Cons:
- The back 8MP camera is a letdown. I talked with a Nokia rep that said this was a known issue and that it will be fixed in a software push. I have read good things about the N9 camera so I expect this to be fixed. Will keep you guys posted.
- The bluetooth randomly disconnects and then reconnects. Not typically and issue but my bluetooth (Motorola Elite Silver) likes to talk to me and let me know when it disconnects and connects...so a little annoying! Might be a WP7 issue though as my Focus was never the best at bluetooth either.
- Although the speaker sounds great, its lowest volume setting is too loud. I often put some music on when I hit the sack, and it seems that the range of sound doesn't go low enough for a quiet room. The difference between 15 and 1 is negligible. Might not matter to some but I thought I would mention it.
Overall so far:
I am liking this phone more and more everyday. The looks, build quality, Display, and phone performance have been excellent. It feels nice having a solid, well built phone in my hands as opposed to the plastic-y Samsung models. The camera on the back disappoints me but the promise of a software fix eases my mind somewhat. I seriously believe if they can fix the camera we will have a perfect phone on our hands.
I will update as I discover new things I love or hate. If you have any questions I can answer them and I will try to do so in a timely fashion. I hope I could help some of you out!
Very informative post. Thanks for all of the great info! I was worried about the camera after checking out an AT&T sales reps Lumia 900 a few days ago. The pictures were all a little grainy to me. I really hope that a software update can resolve the issue. It seems like that's reasonable given that they are really hyping the 8MP Carl Zeiss lens.
I'd like to see some heavy testing on the battery. On full charge, us WPBench app and test battery. Thanks for your insight.

I got an hour yesterday with a Cyan 900 and 800. Both are great. I'm not a big picture taker, so I didn't see a problem with the camera. The concern for me was the weight. Yes, the 900 is a touch heavier than what I currently carry...Focus S. But, what was amazing was the balance. The phone fits and stays in my hand, like it should. Carrying the really light Focus S, I have dropped it a couple of times....the balance is off. Hand the same thing with the Motoroal Razr...though this was fixed with the Razr Maxx.
I was sold months ago on the WP7 OS. I only needed to find hte hardware to fit my likes. The 900 is it.
I also got to see, but not touch the White 900. The thing is purdy. REALLY purdy. If you want a white one, its worth the wait. I'm not willing to wait a few extra weeks. But if it was offered now, I'd be getting that. The black on White color combination and the impace with variouis screen themes.....oh man!!! not for everyone.....but....nice.

I noticed this as well. It is a bother... needs more range. To me, it should get whisper quiet before the sound disappears altogether.

I wanted a white one, but the cyan is sexy too. I also didn't want to wait, as I wanted to get the $100 connectivity issue credit (though I'm having no problem with LTE in STL.
I've just gotten the phone yesterday, so I'm still figuring things out. It's my first WP. LOVING the build and quality of the phone. Signal has been excellent. Connecting to my work wifi is amazingly fast and just WORKS, when it was a PITA with my android.
Some of my cons so far:
-The speaker volume that you mentioned.
-I want the status icons to stay and not disappear. I don't want to swipe to see them.
-Not being able to set custom alerts for text messages for my contacts. I want a different alert if my kids are texting me vs. a friend.
-This is probably me just being dumb, but how to you go back/forward in the browser?

Somehow I missed the memo until yesterday that the white one is a gloss finish!! This makes m less excited for it and I was just wondering what you thought of its look?
More so than the look difference its the scratch and fingerprint difference that gives me pause

You know, I didn't pay that much attention to that detail. I usually don't care about the glass finish. NO matter what finish you have, there's something that doesn't work out. So, if I got the white, the glass or matte would not be an impact on my decision. Though, a matte white...might not be that attractive...hmmm...didn't think of that...

Have you turned on "desktop version" vs. "mobile version" in IE preferences? It looks much better in the full version. Though of course it takes things longer to load.

My worry is that the gloss finish will be much easier to damage than the matter. I also Ike the understated look of the matte. I'm not eligible for upgrade til may so u will get some hands on before purchase but right now I'm leaning toward a black one with a case.

I'm thinking of getting this case. That way I'll have some white (which will contrast nicely with the blue), but if the white gloss sucks or gets scratched, it's just a case.

Easier to damage cause it's glossy so a bit less grippy? Also wouldn't the white finish hide fingerprints better than black matte?
Also having the phone in white tricks the eye into believing it's bigger than say black. So a white 900 will be even bigger than it already is lol
Oh goodness, now this is something that really bothers me. One volume, WP7, really? You mean if I'm listening to media, but I want my ringtone/alert volume low, this is impossible? No separate media volume? Not to mention not being able to have a different volume for phone calls and texts. I'm sitting here at work trying to listen to music over headphones, and have to annoy my coworkers with my text and email notifications? Am I missing something?

I tootally agree with you. This may be one of the areas that WP7 's simplification leads to frustration.
BTW for all of those talking about the white phone, on the Verge mobile netcast, Vlad mentioned that the HTC One X was a matte finish and noticed that his jeans' dye rubbed onto the phone. I think the gloss is probably to prevent color absorption.

Well the gloss has been described as a more enamel feel to it. Anytime I have had a shiny device like that it is prone to get scratched really easy. They are both carbonate bodies but the gloss finish makes me think the way the device would react to sharp objects more harshly.
I will admit I don't know exactly how to describe what I am trying to say here haha. But nonetheless it's something I hope to be wrong about but we shall see. Also the gloss finish will reflect more light thereby making fingerprints far more obvious. My favorite part about the matte finish compared to gloss ones is its low reflectability. Hopefully I'll get my hands on it and find this is all much to do about nothing but I was just hoping someone had more insight into this matter.

If you have headphones on it should be playing only through the headphones. At least that's what my focus does. Also you could just put it on vibrate and it will not sound off. Hope this helps!

Quality feel (use of materials)

Rate this thread to express how you think the LG G5 feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Doesn't feel bad in anyway , but i got disappointed from the metal feeling, not even close to Htc or Sony Z1-3 series its just like plastic , i needed to google it to find out that is really metal as they said, in quality i got a problem with my up microphone that got inside on the right side , i could get it back using my thumb and nail but still right side is a bit more inside and seems easy to get in again. So i am giving it 3 stars in quality both feeling and i would give it 4 if i hadnt the speaker small issue , i was expecting more than that but its still good phone!
9 months in and the lg use of subpar components comes through. Bootloops as soon as it gets hot....and it will get hot pretty quick if in a pocket and outside. Works great ...probably in a fridge now. Had to deal with GPS issues too...worse GPS signal phone ever. Quality has gone down the drain with lg since the g3. Not taking a chance on the g6.
So sad...really wanted to love this phone. But come on not even a year.....!!!!
I thought give them a chance since they did replace the wife's g4 but now I regret it. Can't wait for the wife's g5 to self destroy itself just like mine.
Im not sure why LG phones get so hot compared to other manufacturers, but other than that, no big issues.
Edit: Wrong Thread
I have a Galaxy S7 and this definitely feels less solid. But I guess that's because of the modular design.
I do like that it's metal but I don't like the camera sticking out unprotected. I've seen quite a few G5's with badly scratched camera covers so this clearly needs a case of some sort, which is a bit of a bummer.
Still, metal >>>> glass.
This is still new but I'm not sure how well the bottom module would hold up over repeated swaps. Thankfully, I'm seeing a lot of replacement modules online.
The battery is also kind of odd in how you need to lock it in place. Better than springs or keeping it loose I suppose.
The earphone jack is also a bit shallow. It works but I can see metal sticking out.
Overall, it seems like everything could be just a smidgen tighter or "locked in." But, again, I'm coming from an S7.

coming from samsung s4, it's definitely feel better and weigh more (actually a negative, the increased weight).
Doesnt matter much the look because all my phones go into waterproof cases so i never see the actual phone most of the time anyway..lol

HTC 10 Build quality. First Impressions. Over all love!!

HTC 10 owners speak up! How great is your 10 let everyone know how well yours is built and holding up. Also your first impressions, the knock your socks off experience unfortunately mine shipped while I was on vacation and is sitting at home waiting on me. Will report on Monday when I get home! Can't wait!
From the 7-ish hours I've had mine, it has 100% completely lived up to the hype and has been an enormous upgrade from my One m9. I have absolutely zero build quality, screen, or performance issues. The camera is miles ahead of the m9's and I can't wait for the 1.30 software update to hit my phone which will make it even better. Also, one thing that really stood out is just how fast and accurate the fingerprint scanner is. The capacitive button idea is simply perfect for a fingerprint scanner. There's no way I can go back to a phone without a fingerprint scanner now.
My absolute biggest complaint (if you can call it that) is the position of the headphone jack. I've gotten used to having it on the bottom of the phone which fits best with my personal usage since I place a phone top-down in my pocket. I'm not sure this even qualifies as a problem and I know I'll get used to it quickly.

Yes also I had the 6p, I found it too big and clunky. I currently have the Lumia 950xl. While it is also a 5.7" screen, it is quite a bit smaller and lighter than the 6p. I also really did not like the camera strip at the back. Just could not get used to that at all.
I came from the shamu to the 6p so the screen size didn't bother me, and the phenomenal camera on the 6p made up for the ugly glass strip. Overall I'm extremely happy with the 6p but I have always been an HTC fan,(I of course had the M9 and A9 both in between, but both had their limitations) so I'm really really anxious to try a more pure stock sense experience coupled with very promising hardware!!
How is the notification sound for you guys? Idk if it is my unit, or its me, or they are all in general like that but the notification sound is kinda muffled

The HTC 10 feel a whole lot more solid and heftier. The fit and finish just feels nicer, no mismatching plastics or pieces that aren't flush, there is no black plastic "ring" around the screen that dents and comes off easily, button feel more solid
I used to be diehard pure Android only and have tried different skins over the years, even stuff like PA or some other custom wrong. But I'm finding myself liking sense a lot. Hated the previous version on my One S. I am itching to root just so I can block ads...
the way i would describe it is real metal especially compared to the A9 and X9 (which has thin metal like the iPhone)
the 10 is simply steel and glass, with no plastics in your sight (except the hidden strips)
overall a screaming premium feel, my TPU case is killing the whole aura so i am really anxious for my Spigen ExactFit to arrive, also the Fitbag black rave pouch looks amazingly classy with it
My eyesight isn't what it used to be so I've been using phablets - Note 2, Note 4, Moto X Pure Edition - and I was a little worried about the smaller screen size on the HTC 10. I've discovered, however, that it's very easy for me to read the HTC 10 screen. I prefer Sense over TouchWiz, but I've been spoiled by the flexibility of Nova Prime and I installed it on my HTC 10 after about an hour. So far, I'm very pleased with the HTC 10. I'll know more after I've used it for a week or two.

I'm hard of hearing but I can easily hear the notification sound on my HTC 10, even without my hearing aids.
I got mine yesterday (so far I love it) and I just now noticed there is a slight gap between the top of the screen and the frame. Has anyone else noticed this?
OK after having phone a solid 8 hours with 80% of my apps installed compared to Samsung S7 Edge is a mini review:
Nice build quality, slightly smaller screen, cleaner UI but with some idiosyncrasies, very good sound, type-C connector.
I am finding the more apps I install the slower the phone is becoming with some lag and stutter, the camera is quite good but Edge is better overall especially in low light, Edge is blazing fast despite touch wiz, Edge screen is gorgeous and battery life is probably better but will withhold judgement on HTC 10 for a day or two.
Overall a very good phone but not enough to best the Edge. Marketing will be an issue for this phone and may be difficult for buyers to justify at same price point if the preorder $100 discount is not available.
The wow factor is almost there IMHO.
Will keep testing with an open mind.

Is the OnePlus 3 as good-looking as you are (despite your receding hairline, adult-onset acne, and massive weight gain)? Rate this thread to express whether you think the OnePlus 3 is attractive. A higher rating indicates that you would even go as far to say that the OnePlus 3 is a beautiful phone.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
just got mine, its beautiful. great feel and a mix of a galaxy and htc.
Phone looks as premium as any other phone. Very quality look all around. It is surprisingly skinny, which I like a lot, and does resemble an HTC 10 or G5. Still, an amazing build. I will have a case on it, so it's really no big deal what it looks like. Lol
I like it a lot. Feels like an iPhone 6S plus an HTC had an affair and this is the bastard child lol. Love it.

Premium design and quality, bad protruding camera.
I definitely agree - the phone does have very premium looks. Of course, somebody could say that the current Galaxy models are easily a class above this phone in looks. But, in and of itself, the OP3 is quite satisfying to look at. And, compared to others in its price range, it definitely holds it own. Overall, I would definitely give this a thumbs up in the looks department.

Metal>glass. It may not be as premium as the s7 edge, but it definitely is more premium than the standard s7 in looks

All metal body, nice finish. Only qualms are the camera bump. Also because it is so thin and sleek it is quite slippery leading to usage of a case (sigh). But the phone looks very premium. I just don't get to show it lol

very well said it!!
the phone is extremely pleasing and premium to hold and look at. the only issue i personally feel is slippery ness of the device but i feel the same about pretty much every metal body phones. It's extremely well crafted as well. just love the plain beauty of this device.
Beautiful, but 'tis a slippery beast.
Oneplus 3 is love ?❤
Its definitely premium looking phone. For some reason I like the antenna bands wich most people seem to dislike. At least with the iPhone. They make the back a bit less boring looking. Although wish they had proper styleswap covers like in OPO and OP2.
I kind of dislike how the camera is big and bulky and has kind of a contrast against the thin metal body of the phone. In my opinion it doesnt fit that well. It isnt a deal breaker for me of course, I can always put a case.
+ All elements (speakers, buttons, SIM tray, microphone, etc) are in line
+ Good home button shape
+ Good detailing on the alert slider
+ Simple black bezel, not like those old tacky Samsung phones
+ Subtle chamfers
- Corners rounded with horizontal bias. WHY?
- The squircle camera shape
- The antenna lines are asymmetrical: not the same distance from the top/bottom of the phone
- The middle antenna line is thinner than the other two
- Both antenna lines are too close to the top/bottom of the phone
- The top and bottom bezels are not the same length
Overall, the OP3 is the most generic looking phone of 2016: pseudo-premium aluminium build, imperfect design and nothing crazy. It seems like OnePlus tried to make the phone look different by changing small things like the corner rounding and the slant of the top and bottom sides but to me it just makes the phone look worse. It doesn't look as matured, sophisticated or refined as the Note7, 10 or XZ but it's not an visual disaster like the G5 or the old Galaxy S3.

I agree with some of what you said. I recently purchased the gold (white face) OnePlus 3, and it's really a thing to look at. Really nice looking phone, with some inspiration from Apple and Samsung, as well as HTC. The phone's design is nothing extra special I agree, but I wouldn't call it generic. That's being a tad picky. Every company has their style and OnePlus' is quite subtle. The reviews on xda forums are what I looked at as a customer before I purchased this phone. To anyone out there contemplating buying this phone, you won't be disappointed in the design. It's good. Durable and strong. The camera bump on the back protrudes a bit and the sides are kind of sharp (like the galaxy s6 edge), but I use a case so it's not bothersome at all ( I even remove the case sometimes to get a feel of that sexy beast directly in my hand).
I wanted HTC 10, but i got OnePlus 3 for 300 euro, almost new.
Metal case it's very nice, good build. I like the most, the square corners. For example HTC 10 it's very rounded on corners .
I like the phone because it's slim. It's a little big for pocket, but with 5,5" screen, that's it. Weight it's normal for a big phone with a metal case.
It is a Premium phone with Good Price!
I'm very pleased about it.
I love the looks so much. The back kind of reminds me of the iPhone 6 / 6S. Build quality is really surprising too considering the price imo.
Love the sleek body.
I get annoyed when someone hands me over a Samsung or Moto
But the camera bump is a bit of a problem too.
with the oneplus cover sandstone it looks awesome because the bump on the camera is annoying without it

Quality feel (use of materials)

Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S10+ feels in terms of quality. A higher rating indicates that it feels premium and high-quality (attention to detail is high, manufacturing defects don't exist, etc).

samsung typical cheap plastic trash, hate it, always will, they do intend you to break it easy so you buy another after all.
i dropped my moto z force on concrete tons of times with no damage, not doing that with an s10
edit: nearly forgot this one before, but with the battery moto mod on the moto z force i had before this it was way more comfortable to hold in landscape orientation, the z force without the mod had the same issue though but i have to ding the s10+ cause the only solution is a bulky case that some people probably don't want and even then it's not as comfortable to hold due to the thinness of the device.
Actually the higher the build quality "feel", the more likelihood you will have damage during a drop. The old plastic phones like my Blackberry 15 years ago could be tossed all over the place without a case and keep on chuggin'.
This is why the case industry has grown into a billion dollar business!
That said, the ceramic S10+ is in a league of all its own.
Nobody cares if your cheaper old plastic phone survived drops easily, plastic absorbs impacts in a different way, while scratching and losing material very easily.
This phone is in its own league, it's not made to be dropped since there are other devices for that, but the feel is the best you could get and the ceramic version showed very good durability while having top class comfort.
As a matter of fact this device is one of the most expensive ones to manufacture, if not the most expensive one at all.

Materials are awesome. I got the ceramic version. But hell, that thing is slippery without a case.
Comparing it to my Note 9 , the Note 9 wins hands down. I'm not just referring to the Note 9 weight either. Example first things I noticed with the s10+, back glass resonates when watching YouTube videos at 50% volume or more. As does some voice calls using the earpiece, I can feel the back glass resonate if the other party has a bassy voice.
Furthermore, no matter what color you chose on the s10 the frame is a painted chrome color, another cost cutting corner by Sammy. Where as on the Note 9 the chassis would also be the same color of the back as was the lens camera surround.
This flagship almost reminds of my favourite chocolate bar of yesterday's. Everything is cut down and reduced.
Don't get me wrong, the build quality is still high, but lower than what my expectations are from Samsung.

The buttons and the frame are pretty solid. Also, the phone is not heavy weighted, which is excellent for one hand usage. I'm not giving it a 5/5 just because I think that the aluminum frame could be of a better material. It scratches easily. If you simply miss the charging port at night and gently scratch the frame, it will get scuffed.

Are you sure? Dont know there, but here the frame does match the color of the back. My brother got a blue s10 and its frame is different from my white one.

I don't care about back cover materials because I'm using leather case)
Don’t like the light blue color, looks cheap.
