one plus 3 gives a lot of customization featuresover stock android. so lets look into the top 10 features that you should use once youbuy the device. number 1, dark mode. one of the things i love aboutthe oneplus is the amoled screen. right? we all love the amoled screen. now, op has anoption in oxygen os to move from the stock android white background to a dark mode.this makes, sections of the ui look pretty
Android do not disturb, neat. thanks to the inky blacks. you will also be able to get marginallybetter battery life. apart from the dark mode, you will also be able to get marginallybetter battery life. apart from the dark mode, you can change the accent colour. i preferthe default cyan colour. now, what would have been even better, is if one plus had givenall black everywhere like the drop down menu.
its greyish and not completely black. ambient display - this is google’s equivalent of the moto’s active display. if enabled,your device will wake up as soon as it is picked up or new notifications arrive. youalso have the proximity wake feature that you can enable, so wave over the phone andit will show the time and notifications. again, this makes the best use of the amoled screenbecause it turns on the screen in black and white.gestures - one plus allows you to use gestures to perform actions or open an app when thescreen in turned off. so, you can double tap to wake or use v to turn on the flashlightor even turn on the camera and control music
without turning on the device. and it worksflawlessly. i certainly like the flashlight gesture. its very very convinient. fingerprint scanner - i am pretty sure you use this already. but in case you don’t,go ahead and set it up right away. it is one of the fastest sensors out there it wakes your device up almost instantly. you can also setup upto 5 fingerprints. i compared it with my friends galaxy s7 and this was faster than that. it wakes up the device, it can be used in any angle and you can also setup upto 5 fingerprints. shelf - shelf is op’s replacement for googlenow. i love google now, but i don’t mind using shelf on this phone because i kindalike it. i have setup the google now widget on it in case i want to access my cards. itshows me frequent contacts, apps and i can
add widgets. hold the widget and swipe rightto remove it or hold it and increase the size. pretty neat i must say. alert slider - one of the other best feature about the phone is the alert slider, thereis some amount of setting up required to make it work based on your needs. 1. priority notificationwork only for starred/favorite contacts, so incase you haven’t set that up, please goahead and do that so you dont miss any important notification. the other setting is if a callercalls you repeatedly, you want your phone to ring, right? you can also make changesto the setting for silent. in case you are at school/college and don’t want media oralarms to ring during class. you can mute
as wellbattery saver - again, stock android feature but not enabled by default. i usually setit to auto when the battery reaches 15%. it helps save some juice and also works as areminder to charge up when you see the orange notification bar. ugly looking but helps.buttons - again like other customizations, the capacitive buttons on the op3 are customizable.you can also setup some long press or double tap functions for all the 3 buttons. you alsohave the option to use on screen buttons.
the use of capacitive buttons will give youmore screen estate. disable unwanted apps - there are some appsthat you might not use, for example there are 2 keyboard and 2 music players. you mightwant to uninstall or disable one of them.
led notification light:i have made some customizations for that as well. you can check that in the settings menu as well.
