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
Just wondering what the opions are of the ones who own the Note 7
I have the S6 sorry.

Yes in every way. I had a gold s7 and traded it in towards the note 7. Specs wise they are almost identical but that's not a bad thing. The s7 has an amazing camera and so does the note 7. The display looks more premium on the note 7 because of how little amount of bezel it has compared to the s7. The one thing that makes it more premium is the symmetrical body. The front is the same degree of curve and extrusion as the back of the phone. It feels balanced and more "premium" because of this. And it's incredibly more comfortable to hold than the s7. Above all (in my honest opinion), the best feature upgrade is the always on display and how customizable it is. I loved the s7 but the note 7 is a definite upgrade.
Also, subtle upgrades such as the haptic feedback/vibrate motor for when you're typing is more "solid" and less "rattley" than the s7. Hold one in your hand and play with it at a carrier store if you haven't already. Use it side by side with the s7 and the s7 will feel antiquated almost immediately.

Yes anything is better than the s6 both the note 7 and s7 edge are both better than the s7.
Sent from my SM-N930V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Never owned the S7 so can't compare but do own the S7E and I would most definitely say yes, do it!
The camera software (pro mode) is improved on the Note 7 and that alone is a go.
The touch screen sensitivity is improved so you're not clicking on things you want to, etc.
The standby battery life is improved.
Haptic feedback is stronger and less "rattley". Ditto for speaker at full volume.
Display accuracy, whitepoint, etc. is better.
Phone never gets hot.
USB C port...finally!
Phone feels much better in hand without a case, good for those that run naked (no case) and have the "dropsies".
Type C alone on the Note 7 over anything the S6 had to offer would be reason enough for me to Upgrade to the note 7, if i had an s6. In other words, do it and dont look back to the s6... :good:
I don't know if it is me but it just seem like the phone is just better. Either that or I'm just falling in love with it haha. Firstly the speaker is substantially louder. It's as loud as mt Note 5 running TekHD. Battery seems to last longer and I appear to have a lot less stutter/lag issues. Wondering if I should just return the S7 and get the S7 Edge and call it a night. Gorilla Glass 4 I feel is far superior simply because it is more scratch resistant. I would still use my Note 5 but I am tired of constantly running out of space.
Wanted to see if anyone has had similar experiences.
The curves are too pronounced, it ruins the viewing of the screen.

Agreed. Personally I hate the curves. Not only do I click stuff by mistake on edges, I can't find a good screen protector....
Note 9 better have flat screen version. Too bad it probably won't....
the screen in note 7 is just fine for me
The difference between the S7 edge and the Note 7 is the S-pen. I cant understand consumers who pay the extra for the S-pen then don't use it? The S7 is a very good mobile and with deals going on right now is a bloomin bargain. If you are happy with the S7 you could think about keeping it and saving your cash.

Since this seems to be quite the polarizing issue, what's your preference in display size of the next phone. May the democracy win!
I will say 6.0 but with better screen to phone ratio
I am happy with current size and shape, so 5.7. I'd scrap the Samsung logo on the front though..
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
The only way I will be happy with anything over 5'7 is if the keep the current body size, otherwise....no...cause that means the body will be bigger.
Do you remember the old days of s2 ? I mean 5 years ago, compared to my previous nokia brick the screen was huge. Then when I got the m7 (4.3 in I think) I said this is a giant screen/phone, definitely the biggest I will ever get. Tbh, that was also due to the power button placement on top.
Fast-forward note7 and 5.7 in, the moment I tried it I knew was perfect size. the curved screen and absence of bezels on sides helped I assume. I mean my 7yo (she has really tiny hands) carried it once one-handedly so who am I to complain about size?
I want 5.8 as I think they can keep the bezels smaller by making home button capacitive or something. But not smaller than 5.7 inch.
Nothing smaller than what we have now but would love a 6 inch screen and the same feel as the 7
Sent from my SM-N930P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Same here would love to see a 6 inch screen
I don't want to see a larger phone, the 5.7 was good enough for me. Don't want to see anything smaller either though. However, if they keep the dimensions of the phone the same and are able to make the screen larger on the same space (less top and bottom), then by all means, make it larger lol
I still own the Sony Xperia Z Ultra with a 6.4" screen. Had to own one, never used it as every time I placed it in a front pocket I couldn't sit down, walk nor drive as it would dig into my groin.
There is still to this day a die hard core of fans of the Sony Ultra who want Sony to produce the Mk11!!
I will easily resist. I have the original sitting in a draw in a nice case collecting dust. Its just too big, in fact its bloomin massive! Never again. Has to fit in a pocket and be mobile friendly.
Please be careful what you wish for as it may come true!
The Note 7 was perfection.

And the Note 7 is a "Phablet". Some of us have used our Tablets (Tab 3) as a Phone. And after becoming accustomed to using a Tablet even my Note 4 seems tiny at times. Really, what is the percentage of people who actually use their 'Smartphones' as a Phone these days? If all you want is to make calls then why bother with such an expensive device after all? Multi-Window/Split Screen really come into their own on a Tablet
After all the Note Pro is still a NOTE. A Pad?
*The View could be viewed as a Tablevision
The bigger the better! And if the whole phone is bezel-less, then it can be made larger, in height. I don't want it any wider than the Note 7 though. The Note 7 fit so perfectly in the hand.
At least 6". Without bezels could be 6.2"

this is something noone else has thought of either because it's a very stupid idea or because noone wanted it or thought about it, but i thought i could try any way, this app disables the edge display on the galaxy note 10, it disables it both visually and physically, touch will be completely disabled, i plan on having button shortcuts added too so you can launch the camera for example like a shutter button, this is a very niche idea that i doubt will be of interest to anyone, i am considering releasing it just as an experiment though, i made this thread to see what interest it gets in order to know if i should release it or not, my way of thinking when it comes to apps is just different, i don't like curves i don't like edge displays hence why i tried to get rid of it both for design and for the picture being distorted by the curve, theres ofcourse bugs associated with this, as the screen is meant to reach to the edge text or buttons can be difficult or impossible to press, so yeah a very niche idea but honestly it's growing on me to the point of the phone looking strange when i disable the app, it completely changes the look of the phone makes it almost unrecognizable like a note 9 with a flat display
Wasn't able to add a picture
It sounds interesting, I will try it if you release it
It really is growing on me

thank you i may actually do that at first i thought it was a stupid idea everyone would hate but it's growing on me see the last picture i posted it's not ugly.
Good luck for you. But just curious why you bought this phone if you don't like curve screen.
Your idea is basically making a think bezel at the side.
Regarding accidently touching, Samsung already made an app called Edge Touch, which can customize area that immune to touch.

well theres no new phone without an edge display, theres two things i hate with new phones, edge displays and curved display corners, i just want a square flat display but thats pretty much if not impossible, i bought the note 10+ because it looks similar to a sony xperia with thin bezels, i only bought the note 10+ because it has a boxy design something that appeals to me, otherwise i would never buy it if it looked like a galaxy s10 i wouldn't even look in it's direction, i just tolerated the edge display but i never wanted it it ruins the phone the curved display corners ruins it too these are things that makes me want to send it back and buy a sony again but sony has curved displaycorners too which i hate so much i ended up sending the xperia 1 back as i could not stand those corners, the bezels on a xperia 1 or 5 are also uneven thicker at the top than the bottom which i can't stand i am also not a big fan of the 21:9 aspectratio which leaves practically no phone left, all phones look exactly the same the one plus 7 looks like a galaxy, the rog phone looks like a galaxy with thin bezels and ridiculous back, what i wouldn't pay for a sony xperia xz1 same metal build and design with an oled panel and bezels as thin as the note 10+ i would pay 1500 or more for that for that as i find myself wanting to go back to my xz1, the note 10+ is not good enough for that cost but it's very very close, the design makes me incredibly biased towards it, i also don't like how warm the display is even at the colest possible setting every time i look at the xz1 i just prefer the display more, i know about that app i use it myself, this app was meant to also remove the edge display visually.

s10e is way too round so i can't get that one
mi6t too round

what i require from a anew phone
1.boxy design like the note 10+ (anything rounder than the note 10+ and i won't even consider it i got the huawei mate 10 pro and it's nice but too round but i still got it as i knew flat square displays were a dying breed)
2.square flat display with no rounded screen corners
these are two things that simply do not exist in a new phone apart from the razer phone but that one has giant bezels and no oled, for some reason they are that rare the xperia 1 and 5 is as close as i can get, xperia 1 and 5 and note 10+ are the only phones for my taste theres nothing else i've looked everywhere it just doesn't exist it seems people are obsessed with round phones why i don't know, it's like i am an alien when it comes to smartphone design taste, i just don't understand why people want a curved display and when they say anything bad about it it's that it's pretty but not practical, i neither want it for the look or for it's feel.

I'm not obsessed and think that the wrong term, The edge Display (Agreed not practical) as in its functionality, however it does aid in the slimmer feel, mainly yes aesthetic, I have the Mate 20 X 5G also, that is a flat Display (7.2" of goodness) but I do appreciate the curve as it looks and yea feels good.
We are all into different things and for an OEM or OEMs to cater for every individual likes or wants (needs) then come on that's just not viable.
You are another level cookie ...... cant imagine there will ever be that device for you, especially now with the waterfall Display and folding phone Era
Not having a good not everyone is comfortable with the curve that's perfectly fine, but it's not going to change with Samsung, They might evolve the note line into the fold, but as if now the curve is here to stay.
The App is a solution for you and if it makes it a better experience then that's great, for me personally, obviously I bought the Note knowing its curve, so its neither a hindrance or a bother to me....

www.facebook.com/symetium/videos/2135545376537234/
did a curved design too this is where a curve is justified and i do like that type of curved design
and the app was not made just for that reason it was also made as a fun test
i use edge touch as that also disables the edge screens , find it within goodlock

Apple is trying really hard to make their phones uglier than the Pixel! Have you seen the new design?
Late reaction but I too want the ability to deactivate the edges of my screen. My reason is that that XServer XSDL used in combination with Linux Deploy will take all the available screen to display and that leads to buttons on the curved edges being almost hidden. I realise this is either very difficult or impossible to achieve and that a simpler solution would be to find/make another XServer application but this can be help in other situations. But since this thread is there I was hoping to check if zzcool or anyone else had a solution.

If you use something like the Zizo Bolt case accidental touches just don't happen.
This phone need a good case or it will be damaged... eventually.
I use the curve portion to house One Handed Operation plus, it works out nicely.
Occasionally I need to rotate into Landscape mode when cut/pasting, more often I do that for lengthening the search bar though.
I like the curved display... after some adjustment.
The square corners is what I really like... rounded corners look hideous.
iPhones look goofy... trix are for kids
