Lately, OnePlus has just introduced its new flagship- OnePlus 3. The 3rd generation has a lot of upgraded features. However, it still has some minus. Let’s check it out!

1. Screen

The first reason why you should buy OnePlus 3 is its screen. This is the upgraded feature of the latest flagship killer of this Chinese company. The new phone sports a 5.5 Full HD AMOLED display. While in its two predecessors, the screens are still IPS LCD. The resolution and screen size of  the phone remain the same as OnePlus 1 and 2.

Of course, there are many smartphones having the AMOLED Full HD displays. Some are even equipped with 2K screens. But the fact that OnePlus decided to invest into its 3rd generation is still a highlight. With this AMOLED technology, the third flagship will be more colorful and brighter.

Have you ever wondered why most current smartphones come with non-removable battery? Let’s take a look at the 5 reasons below!

Non-removable battery smartphones: great designs and waterproof!

First of all, non-removable battery goes with seamless design. Many smartphone manufacturers don’t want their phones to feature any removable case, because it makes the phone less beautiful. This is somehow true because phone users nowadays mostly prefer a seamless design, which looks more premium and luxury. Moreover, it’s hard to design a removable case for a phone with metal construction (which is very popular in today’s flagships).

Second, non-removable battery support waterproof feature. Not all smartphones with non-removable battery are waterproof. But I am sure that all waterproof smartphones come with non-removable battery. This is very easy to understand! You CAN’T prevent the water from leaking into the phones if the design is NOT seamless. And most users nowadays prefer a waterproof smartphone to a smartphone with removable battery. That’s why it’s more likely to find a device with non-removable battery.

Third, smartphone battery now is much better than it was in the past. Current battery is quipped with great technology, which keeps the battery life really longer. So there’s no worry that the battery will turn dead after long time use. The forth reason is the power bank! In the past, people chose a phone with removable battery so that they could buy another backup battery in case the main one is used up. But now, with the appearance of mobile power bank, there’s no need to do that.

Non-removable battery smartphones: a strategy of the manufacturer?

The last reason could be the fact that the manufacturer wants us to switch for a new phone more often! This is not a popular ideas, but it makes sense to me! When you have a smartphone whose battery is dead and non-removable, there is only one way to solve that problem: buy a new one!

Shopping a smartphone is not easy at all. There are various brands with hundreds of smartphones. If you’re confused with your smartphone choice, these 5 tips below can help you to pick the right one.

1+2. Size + Screen

There are many size options in the market at this time. So, it’s essential for you to get your suitable size. If you have large pockets or usually carry a small bag/purse, a smartphone with the size of phablet will be your proper choice. With the big screen, you’ll be more convenient when browsing, watching videos, playing games, etc. If you don’t have a habit of carrying around the bag, you’d better choose the smartphone having average size.

The second factor you might want to consider is the screen. This touchscreen is the part that you’re gonna interact with the most. As the size, you also have many variants to choose. It’s AMOLED or LCD. It’s pretty or simple, bright or dim, clean or oily. These kind of screens all contribute to your decision of choosing the smartphone. So, think about the type of screen you want to have.
