OnePlus 3T Quick Overview
For a flagship Android deal below $500, the OnePlus 3T is a pretty amazing deal. Tech Radar praises the new OnePlus phone for its great battery life and slick performance that makes it a super affordable flagship release. Sure there are some imperfections like the non-premium display and the lack of a microSD slot. But as a whole, the OnePlus 3T isn't a bad deal for its price. It even offers more than what the similarly priced midrange phones can offer.
Nevertheless, if you already own a OnePlus 3, the OnePlus 3T may not exactly be a clever purchase. The difference between the two is not that big of a deal and the OnePlus 3 is already a superb phone for its $399 price tag. If you own a OnePlus 3, better wait for the OnePlus 4 for an upgrade.
