Small, big changes: 5 improvements of the OnePlus 3T with respect to the OnePlus 3 – CNET in Spanish

With the launch of the OnePlus 3T, and the announced end of the OnePlus 3, you might be wondering if it is worth or not this new phone, if it is that you already have with your previous version.

None of the changes left us with the mouth open, but they are small evolutions to a phone that has been positioned in these months as a “high-end” at a great price. The successor of the much acclaimed OnePlus 3 is more expensive: it costs from US$ 439, which is not much if you compare it with other devices of similar specifications but with values more inflated.

According to the company, have prepared a series of improvements based on returns from real users, who according to these inquiries were very concerned about the performance of the battery, the processor, camera, storage and software details.

We summarize the main changes.

1. A battery more powerful

One of the complaints most often mentioned by users is that the battery of the OnePlus 3 original was not sufficiently durable. In our analysis, we noticed that his battery of 3,000 mAh is similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the HTC 10, and in our tests tolerated 14 hours and 17 minutes of life.

Now, the OnePlus 3T, in a body of identical size and weight to its predecessor model, made to fit a battery 13 per cent more powerful: of 3,400 mAh.

as the OnePlus 3, also brings the fast charging system Dash, which, according to our experiments, it achieved 94 per cent of battery with one hour recharge.

2. A last generation processor

If the OnePlus 3 had the best at the time of its launch, the Snapdragon 820, Qualcomm, is now updated to correspond with the most advanced in this type of processors in the now: the Snapdragon 821 2.35 gHz, which results in a performance even more speed, says the company.

here’s a look at the OnePlus 3T: without major design changes.

3. A camera ‘selfie’ refined

Although the camera main rear of the device has not been touched (it is the same 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and f/2.0 aperture), the front or the camera’s selfie presents notable increases. If before was 8-megapixel camera, now doubles with 16 megapixels, and adds a sapphire glass that makes the lens less prone to strokes. As explained to us, the company, its technology of “pixel smart” help that the videos are more stable: their pixels are grouped in sets of four to become one of higher capacity that allow the entry of more light, which would change the experience in catches of the night.

4. More storage

it Seems that the 64GB of the OnePlus 3 I fell short to your audience, because now the OnePlus 3T added to a model with 128GB. In this capacity, increased storage, will be available only in its new color, the gun metal, a silver metallic. This version with more memory will cost$ 479, and the 64GB now comes out more expensive than the OnePlus 3 above, but not much: US$ 439. This model also will come in golden color.

5. A software with aires new

like their predecessors, the OnePlus 3T, runs by default OxygenOS, an operating system based on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. The company spokespersons said they are in negotiations to upgrade to the latest operating system from Google, Android Nougat 7.1 in the future. Still don’t know when exactly.

The most striking features of OxygenOS is that, in addition to phones, Google has one of the Android most pure on the market, and left free to the choice of the user with the ability to modify to your liking some features.

This system are now obtained some renovations, which we summarize in the following examples:

• Lock application: This setting allows you to create PINs or specific patterns for specific applications, a very useful option for those who share phone and don’t want other people to have access to the content of some programs. For example, I can set a code to access the photo gallery.
• Actions: If you slide three fingers from the top to bottom of the screen, you can make screenshots. In the future, a similar option will allow screenshots of the entirety of a Web page or document, regardless of what we see.
• More actions: If we turn the phone so that its upper part is where before was the bottom, we are silent about a call (without cutting).
• Screen: can Now be configured in settings with three options: default, SRGB, and custom (SRGB before was only available to users in beta).
• Interface: icons are more homogeneous and in the folder to manage files have a larger size and an order that is more friendly to the user.

Both the OnePlus 3T as the OnePlus 3 will share the same update schedule software, said the company.

In synthesis, the OnePlus 3T maintains a software similar to the OnePlus 3, same design, new color and more storage, with a front-facing camera, battery and processor with better performance. You will come to the united States on November 22, and Europe on the 28th of this month. There is still no microSD slot and no water resistance, as its predecessor. And these small improvements lead to a higher price from US$ 439.
