A comment on OnePlus 3.

For the first time, an Android phone has near-perfect build design choices! Good button placement, a hardware notification slider, headphone jack on the bottom, an OLED display with enough of a bezel to minimize accidental edge touches, refined and understated shape/lines, and a finger-print reader on the front.

The only thing that stands out to me as a (slight) design flaw is the camera bump.

Also looks like they have managed to align all the holes in a straight line at the bottom of the phone which after apple no one has done so far

no MicroSD slot with support for adopted storage and no removable battery are the only glaring flaws i can see.

On the flip side, they aren't charging an arm and a leg for the 64gb, which is quite a bit of storage, though a microsd would be a nice addition. As to the removable battery, if it's serviceable enough, shouldn't be too bad. The backplate on the OPO wasn't bad at all, ordered the bamboo back separately and was easy enough to install.

the only other drawback is USB 2.0 speeds only not USB 3.0 or 3.1 with the c connector.
