Question: How is the design and build quality?

Answer: The OnePlus 3 comes with a full aluminium design this year. While the OnePlus One came with a plastic shell, OnePlus 2 came with a metal strip around the sides. This year, the company has gone all-metal with the OnePlus 3. A minimalist design approach and a excellent overall design sense has resulted in a stunning looking phone. The build quality is fantastic as well, which should clear the doubts in many previous OnePlus users’ minds. The only drawback could be that it is slippery, but that is expected from metal phones.
