Dubbed as the original flagship killer, the One, from OnePlus really shook the smartphone market in 2014.
It was a device that was much better than the competition in terms of design & performance and was offered at half the price for what it should have been sold for.
Naturally it got the attention of masses ─ probably the awkward invite system and limited stock availability were also the contributing factors for its global recognition.
Since then the company has evolved into a premium global brand, known to manufacture one of the best Android smartphones.
Not many people know that OnePlus is actually OPPO or should we say BBK electronics. It markets products under 3 different brand names, including OPPO, Vivo and OnePlus aimed to capture different type of markets around the world.
The OnePlus 3 launched last month continues the tradition of affordability and brings huge improvement in terms of performance.
The key specifications of OP3 are:
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
- OS: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow; Oxygen OS
- Supported Networks: 2G, 3G, 4G LTE; Dual-SIM
- Display:
- 5.5” Optic AMOLED display with 1080p resolution
- Corning Gorilla Glass 4
- Memory:
- RAM: 6 GB LPDDR4
- Internal: 64 GB; UFS 2.0
- Camera:
- Primary: 16 MP, Sony IMX298 sensor, OIS, phase-detection autofocus, LED, HDR, 4K video recording
- Secondary: 8 MP, 1080p video, electronic image stabilization
- Connectivity: USB Type-C, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 LE, Wi-Fi ac, GPS with A-GPS/GLONASS, Cat.6 LTE, fingerprint scanner
- Battery: 3000 mAh; Dash Charge support (Quick Charging)
Unfortunately OnePlus doesn’t have its official presence in Pakistan, but now you can buy the latest flagship exclusively from iShopping.PK for a price of Rs. 49,999 and it is readily available in stock.
This price is of course higher than what it is selling in China or other international markets, but OnePlus zealots would be more than happy to get OP3 in Pakistan without any hassle, if all they have to do is pay a little extra.
iShopping.PK promises to deliver the phone with in 3 to 4 working days and you get the option to pay for it at the time of delivery.
We’ve already ordered One for ourselves and will be doing a complete review of this phone very soon.

I bought for 1503AED from Souq with 100AED discount voucher.
The best investment i have ever made after such a long time.
not worth it. The way manufacturers are opting for Q 820 SoC i doubt other brands will be cheaply available. Infact lg G5 costs 50k as well
I dont understand logic to pay 50K PKK for this phone when Q-Mobile at 10K PKK is able to surf Facebook, Google, Whatsapp ect take photo of loved ones the same keeping 40K plus in my pocket for food and life?
Q-Mobile? Those mobiles have an “expiry” of 4-7 months, you will have to new one then. In the end this paying 50k is economical. Plus which Q-Mobile will give you the same touch and performance experience as this (or any similar/better) mobile phones?
Wrong, 4 to 7 month expiry. My wife and my mother are using QMobile M90 for almost one and half year and it’s working very well. I think QMobile M95 or M350 are good choices as well
Totally agreed… The set you have mentioned are really reliable one….
Guys, the Q-Mobile uses chipset of MediaTek which with time its performance decrease while Oneplus 3 uses the best snapdragon chipsets which are used by major premium brands and its performance last longer than any other devices.. please understand this… Q-mobile is is selling like hot cake no doubt but on advertisement only..
i liked qmobile and considered it a good response from our country techs. however after personal experiece i dont recommend it. reason? its unstable OS. u have to get it reinstalled every 2 or 3 months. plus camera and display are also mediocre.
Reason: Unstable OS :P
Hey Its not our country techs, its a forgery. Import cheap Chinese sets and forge them with covers and software.
because the hardware used is wayyy superior … its basically the Bill of Materials that’s keeping the cost up along with brand name
Better buy American imported phones. Like g4 for 20k
That’s like saying why buy a Mercedes when a Mehran can take you from A to B?
Well u can also buy a suzuki mehran 1992 model instead of a premio and both will take u from one place to another.
is box pack lg g5 or 4 available in Pakistan?
yes. visit telemart, ishopping or homeshopping
Now why would we need your review when we already have some great reviews of this on YouTube namely by ‘MKBHD’, ‘Mr. MOBILE’ & ‘ERICA GRIFFIN’ all these reviewers have covered this phone in best way possible.
3 Best Mobile reviewers on YT especially Michael Fisher and Marquees :)
Exactly, these two are my top favorites, stopped watching ‘Pocketnow’ as soon as I realised that Michael Fisher had left it.
Glad he came back! He’s among the best when it comes to mobile reviews but there’s one guy in Pocketnow whose reviews are worth watching and even had his own channel named Juan Bagnell. His review of Huawei P9 camera was a brilliant review so do check him out.

Link to his review in case you wanna check him out. I rank him in best of Youtubers in making reviews!
Execellent post :D :D
I don’t understand why people like you have to be so negative about everything. If they want to post a review what is it to you. You do not know for a fact that it is not going to be better than the Youtubers you mentioned above. Maybe they will do the review in a difference sense or in a way Pakistanis will understand better. Please stop being so negative all the time. Name a few Youtubers and you think your king of the world. #hipster #wannabes
By the way who in the world becomes a hipster by suggesting people some good YouTubers … you want to criticize, then at least be logical about it..don’t do it just for the sake of it..
propakistani’s review will only be beneficial for Pakistani public if its in Urdu (which is unlikely) so I named few people who already did a fantastic job reviewing this particular model.
Totally right. If its in Urdu it will be awsome otherwise no need. We have 100s of video reviews. Don’t bother.
How much ?
Firmware must be Chinese!
ethy rakh!
One plus phones have always been available on such online retailers since their first flagship. This is not news.
Misleading title.
Looks Like Sponsored Post from iShopping
Considering theres only a 14k difference between this and an S7 Edge, what’s the better choice here ? I’m not exactly a fan of touchwiz.
TouchWiz, over sensitive touch panel and that huge ugly logo on front are enough reasons to stay away from Samsung despite having such great camera and screen tech. I’ve owned s6 edge for a month so I really know what I’m saying.
Warranty or not?
Available at alibaba, free shipping (DHL) 38000 PKR only
$400 is listed price of this phone on official site. How alibaba can sale it at 38000pkr?
who is going to deal with PTA NOC and other taxes, its such a mess. I imported a mi note pro and had to pay 11k in total to authorities, bribes, etc
How much were you taxed? PTA NOC isn’t free?
This phone is the best right now. I would recommend this to anyone who does not deepthroat Samsung. Cases and other accessories would be hard to get for the one plus 3 but still it would be worth it.
Considering the price tag phone is not water resistant.
So don’t take it in shower. Problem solved.
who the hell takes phone into shower.
Haha. Then why you are demanding waterproofing?? Just because of rain??
In my opinion, i like water proof phones and hope that this feature should be common in smart phone. Reason, just want to freely take my phone in rainy situation so i have to stop worrying about phone getting short circuited by moist and water.
It will solve your confusion

hahhaha
Great News yaar. Terrific
Wow ishopping sells Xiaomi too, but at expensive rates.
Any other Pakistani store which sells Xiaomi? Xiaomi 3S is super phone in affordable price.
Xiomi is banned in Pakistan.
That’s sad
You Can Also Buy Oneplus 3 From Dubai As i Bought It In Just PKR 28000Approx…..
