alt Hacker NewsThe OnePlus 3 was my first proper smartphone and the best phone I ever used. Running Lineage, it's faster and more responsive, even today, than a $1000 iPhone from 2024. The quality was amazing. It's a shame to have seen their slow decline over the years as they chased expensive and unpopular hardware trends. RIP

As someone who has both I strongly disagree with that claim, though the 3 and 3T have certainly aged well.

I had a OnePlus 3. It was fantastic for the time, but the limited radio bands really hampers it now. The screen is falling off of it and the battery is not what it was, but it's a decade old.
I used it for about 4 years, then my oldest, and then my youngest. Such a great little piece of hardware.
