Oneplus 3, just like other current smartphones, is made of metal, it is beautiful though. All the combinations are perfectly proper. The phone is thin, sleek with sloped edges tapering off at the sides. Power button is on the right. while speaker is on the left in order to support three-way switch for notifications. The large 5.5 inch Full HD screen with a pixel density of 401 ppi (pixels per inch) is also attractive. The display is an Optic AMOLED screen and not a regular IPS LCD screen which is a good thing cause IPS LCD capacity consumes less power and provides better viewing angles.

Reasons why flagship smartphone around $400 is a good idea

At the moment, there are many flagship smartphones priced at around $400. Do you think that is a a reasonable cost? We would say yes and here are the reasons!

flagship smartphone

Reasons why flagship around $400 is a good idea

We guess most people love flagships since they are obviously the best models of their own companies. However, sometimes prices make consumers… stay away from them. Despite understanding that it is very hard for a handset sporting a beautiful design and much modern features to be super affordable, we still have to think a lot when deciding to buy them. Though, perhaps things are getting easier due to the appearances of more $400 flagships.

Playing a big part of this trend is the contribution of many Chinese mobile makers. Yes, we want to mention devices like Xiaomi Mi5 costing about $305, LeEco Le 2 Pro for $300, Moto X for $400, OnePlus 1 and 2 for around $329. As we know, they all pack excellent chips, high display resolution, decent RAM as well as battery capacity, and fantastic camera combos. Well, to be honest, what can be more attractive than them?

flagship smartphone

 

No doubt the first reason is that you do not have to pay much for a powerful machine. It also gives you a feeling like you are having the best of both worlds. Secondly, as for mobile makers, they will be easily stand out among hundreds of firms because $400 is not a small number at all, yet it is a great one for phones coming with top current specifications.

What are some good examples you can find on the shelves now?

Like what we said above, most Chinese manufacturers are following this trend and thanks to them we have lotsa choices costing no more than $400. Specifically, we have to name some typical handsets like Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo with 3GB RAM plus up to 5,000mAh battery, ASUS ZenFone Selfie Deluxe with 3GB RAM plus 13MP front camera, and LeEco Le 2 Pro with 4GB RAM plus 21MP rear snapper. Besides, some models from brands such as UMI and Ulefone are also worth considering.

5.8 inch iPhone

What is special about this rumored iPhone is that, the glass on both of its sides is expected to be curved, making a lot like Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
