The 5.5inch Android handset houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset which has a support for both 802.11ac WiFi and LTE mobile networks. It is available in South Africa from Takealot
The quad-core CPU has two cores running at 2.2GHz while the other two run slightly slower at 1.6GHz. This seems ample for CPU intensive tasks as well tasks that don’t need quite as much grunt such as responding to a text message.
The CPU is paired with 6GB of RAM which is, well, a lot. Many manufacturers opt for half that amount of RAM with great results, so double that has our minds whirring with possibilities.
The OnePlus 3 in Graphite and Rose Gold is currently available for pre-order on Takealot for R10 999.
