I bought this phone 9 months ago after i watched a lot your videos. I personally thank you for your sincerity and i end up buying the One Plus 3. With your help i am very satisfied about this phone. I apreciate your sincerity and the fact that you show the real weakness and pluses of a phone. Which is very rare this days to find guys like you. Keep it up!
Minus vote on background music from me too, sorry Vihanga Sathsara. The last thing I want in a video like this is any distractions. Just a clear voice explaining all the steps (which this video really had, awesome work!).
yessss, love the video mate. you're the best go-to-guy for teardowns, as its easy to understand and you take your time. Almost 200k subscribers too! awesome!
The tone of your voice and pitch changes depending on what you are narrating and what is being demonstrated - you are a pro at instructing. Another great video.
i think they went for a black battery because its a non removable back this time unlike the previous 2 generations... and only a few will ever open up their phones to discover the uniqueness is gone
Huh... I think I will choose my next phone based on your videos alone. Seeing how simple this is to open/repair makes me think that this is the way to go... along with the durability test, this is a top performer!
@@cheapandeasy1715 well, its now 1 year for this comment, but do you still use this phone? And so, maybe you remember where did you get new battery. Can't find original one, only fake ones.
@@djedvis No, I'm using a Oneplus 7 pro now. I got the battery off Ebay. That particular seller no longer has them, but there are still quite a few OEM BLP613 batteries from reputable sellers.
Looks like it's very easy to repair the phone except the screen. Thumbs up to OnePlus for not using alot of adhesive unlike many other OEMs. Great video by the way. I see you're nearly hitting 200,000 subscribers. Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work.
This guy knows his stuff! The video is very well put together and he provides very helpful commentary while showing exactly what he's talking about on the screen. Super cool!
Used this video to replace the original battery from this phone. The battery held up amazingly for me, didn't need to replace the battery but since I had the spare I went through anyway. Took me around 10 minutes. Thanks Zack!
Dell0304 better is relative. it was comparable with every flagship out there and won or lost by a hair. they forced the phone market to drop their prices.
Damn, that actually looks remarkably simple. Kinda sad when you consider how badly HTC butchered the internals of the 10 and how long they've been around.
+Jonathan Longoria They dont listen to their customers and thats why they will go down some day...I had an htc m7. great phone but the battery sucks ass which is still an issue with htc phones!
Hey Zack! Because of your videos I realized that repairing your own smartphone isn't rocketscience and had a go at it myself. While repairing my headphonejack I broke my screen the first time, but I just succesfully replaced my screen and I'm just so happy! Thanks!
Hey Zack, The screen replacement link in the description is dead just like my 3T's screen. It would be great if you could update it with a new link so that I could replace it.
This teardown is surprisingly simple and very informative. Thank you. I tinker with my own devices and its good to know that I will be able to quickly fix my OP3 in case anything happens. Awesome. Thanks again. Keep on keeping on!
3 years later and I'm still happy with my OnePlus 3. Just got the new Oxygen OS upgrade to android pie. Everything is smooth and snappy. I still get around 5hrs 30 min screen on time with heavy use.
The repairability of this phone has convinced me on getting one. Loved my One M8 until right about a month ago, when the battery started to suck, and the battery is near impossible to replace.
I own oneplus 3, but sadly already cracked the screen. Slipped out of my pocket. It wasn't that big of an impact and the screen is now KO. It cracked in two places. All that with original case and screen protector. So be careful, its quite easy to damage it. Luckily, OnePlus charged me just 90 Euro for screen replacement with labour, DHL express shipping and everything else included. Not that bad considering new screen alone is selling for 115 Euro on ebay.
I created a ticket on oneplus site, they picked the phone next morning and it arrived to service a morning later. Now its about week and half since they have picked it up and its sill being repaired. Not heard from them yet since they wrote me they accepted the phone and are working on repairing it. Hope its not gonna take much longer tho.
Thanks and good luck to you too. I luckily got mine today. Took about two weeks and costed 90 Euros. Very happy with the service. The only small drawback was a lack of communication during repair.
I'm in the same boat, managed to crack my phone after only a week of usage. I looked around and the only place I found that sells screens for OP3 is ebay. I'm not sure if I can trust the sellers though. They might be clones
+Finger Mustache inc that's actually not terribly expensive, then. The problem is though that I bought it from a third party retailer, so I will have to send it to the retailer, who then contacts OnePlus, yadda yadda yadda and it will be a pain in the ass. I need to get my phone fixed though, I have spiderwebs covering up 50% of the screen, so it is very difficult to read text etc. I guess I'll just have to fork out the cash to pay for it...
After watching these two OnePlus 3 videos, I'm really glad that I've bought a reliable phone and hope to use it for several years (but I usually take good care of my smartphones).
Thanks man! I just ordered this and wanted to know if I'd be able to replace the battery in 2 years. Very happy to know that the phone is pretty reparable!
I know this is quite old but thanks to you I just managed to fix a main button issue that melted the battery and gave me a hard time with my phone. So thanks a lot and keep it up !!
Phew. Got my phone fixed. Thanks a million for posting this video! My volume (-) button got stuck and the phone didn't turn on anymore as it would just go to the safe mode boot menu. I would never have dared to pry the thing open without watching this (and Wit Rigs') video, it was really tight. Now I'll be able to switch a red battery in at some point :)
thanks for coming in usefull 5 years later. I watched this video 5 years ago and now you helped me open up my phone to find a screw completely out of its thread. screwed it back in place and my phone is fully fuctional again
That thing you said about corrosion on the physical button pads or in the buttons themselves caused by water just happened to me. After 2 years of ownership, the vol buttons started to work half the time and a year later I replaced them. Even though my phone has never been around water to my knowledge, I saw some stains that water leaves behind when evaporates around the buttons and especially the sim card tray inside the phone when I opened it. Most likely normal daily usage results in that because of environmental humidity, human sweat etc. So what you suggested is a very likely scenario for the 3T. Despite this, I am glad though that the phone isn't waterproof as it is very easy to repair.
Hey, i'm no where near a tech guy but i just subscribed to your channel because i really like your presentation(s). Thanks for being thorough; and most of all...Thanks for being you. Oh, and i was lucky enough to get a OnePlus3 while i was in New York in June. Now i'm back at University in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. And since OnePlus doesn't seem to be rolling our in Africa anytime soon, i appreciate your insight just in case anything happens to my phone, which i really, really think is a great device. The Duel sim is absolutely wonderful for my reality in South Africa.
oh man, I have been waiting for a one plus 3 teardown video since it was released. I liked the video even before watching it lol! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Man i follow you quite a lot of weeks and i love your channel so much when i see that you post a video it saves my day thanks and keep up with the good work!
I felt relieved with this video , I was afraid to buy the One Plus 3 and there is a problem changing the screen. I saw another video teaching , but Jerry was the easiest. Thanks +JerryRigEverything
This is really interesting to see how easy it is to easily separate the back panel from all the other parts of the phone... Makes it really easy to safely do a full respray, whereas on my iPhone 5 it took me about an hour to take it apart without breaking anything (we aren't all as quick as you :P)
Hi Jerry, thumbs up for the video. I've got one question, explain me a bit more on the replacement of the front glass panel. (at 3.24 you mention that replacing would kill the screen) Let me explain it a bit more in case you need. I got my glass cracked but the screen and all touch functions work totally fine. If the broken glass parts are removed from the screen can I replace it with a OEM Front Glass Panel without damaging the digitizer and crucial parts of the screen ? Thanks.
Great tutorial Jerry. Thanks! Could you put up a new E-Bay link to get the new screen? I can't seem to find which one is the right screen to buy. There are 2$ ones but that doesnt'make much sense to me
Very interesting design compared to the previous phones. Especially all(most) of the components connected to the screen portion leaving the aluminum mostly bare. Also like how the charging is very easy to remove. Great detailed video, as usual. Can't wait for the phone in the video to arrive at my door step ;) and if anything goes wrong I can refer to this video.
Thanks for this video! I am upset that so few manufacturers have replaceable batteries these days. It is not so much the convenience in going from 0 to 100% charge in seconds by swapping the battery (although that is nice), but more being able to increase longevity when the battery capacity decreases in a year or two. This video shows that it only takes about 5 minutes to do this. That combined with an unlockable bootloader and good support on XDA means I will be placing an order for a OP3T the day it is released.
Thank you very much for the inside view of the OnePlus3! Looks like the headphone jack is once more on the bottom and cannot be replaced individually (need an entire new power module should it be the only thing broken). Is this true? Could not see this in the video.
that was an absolutely fantastic video. one question. do you believe the wire connector along the edge of the phone (left hand side when it was open and facing down, the wire along the left of the battery) is the WiFi antenna?
Zack, Thank You for the awesome review of yours ! For me personally is much more important the internal design, "Functionality" placement of the buttons and est., than the look. So obviously OnePlus have done their job again. I'm sorry for colorless battery too. After your Teardown, it's a "Must have situation" ! Appreciate your work :-) Tank you again, Zack.
Hi Jerry, i have what i think is a very difficult question. Let me give you a little bit of background first. I had a Huawei P8 with OIS, After using it for a month the camera started to buzz and the image started to shake....a little bit of research got me the answer...since i used the phone on my motorcycle cellphone mount, the vibration screwed up the OIS motor. Ive been considering to buy a OP3, however im affraid the phone will damage as well since it comes with OIS: The question is, do you know if the technology is the same, being that both carry Sony sensor, im affraid it will have the same effect if i use it on my motorcycle. Thanks
2020 I still got my 3T. I have no reason to upgrade, it's such a great phone! I'm considering installing lineageOS so that I keep getting updates If only oneplus didn't remove the headphone jack from their new phones though I definitely would've gotten another oneplus
@@akhilakky6052 battery 20eur, camera module 13eur and USB port 7euros. The price on eBay depends on how quickly you want items. Mine were from eu because I was in a hurry.. From China maybe 15eur for all.
Hi Jerry, I stump into this video 'cause I have a problem with my OP3 rear camera... the autofocus doesn't seems to respond. I was wondering if you knew about this, if it's convenient to change the camera or just open the phone apart and change it myself (that's how I got your video at the end!). Thanks a lot for your time and answer!
if you're running cm on the opo It's a software issue. heres a link to a xda thread (i removed the www to get around the spam filtering systems) forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721
Going to replace the battery with the red one from my OPO. That's a lot less screws than the OPO btw. Replaced my OPO screen 3 times, good to see that replacing it in the OP3 will be a lot quicker.

+Akash Sen OnePlus 2's battery was not user removable
+Big Mo yeah but it was comparatively easier to open up... I know that makes no difference.. just a theory
0:17 do the sim cards fly out like that every time you remove the tray?
yeah that was weird ... some crazy trick :D
Those were just some dummy plastic pieces that come with the phone.
probably tension on them because he bend the phone
It looks like he is putting some pressure on the tray at the end which makes them pop out.
I have this phone and no, they don't :)
"You are working with glass here so don't put too much pressure"

This is shaping up to be quite a great phone...something I've never been able to say about OnePlus in the past.
how couldnt you say it about the oneplus one? that phone was literally a flagship killer
It was a very decent phone for the price but it was not better than every other phone out there. I feel it was way overhyped.
Dell0304 better is relative. it was comparable with every flagship out there and won or lost by a hair. they forced the phone market to drop their prices.
Not really but you're entitled to your opinion
Oneplus one was great, I'm still using mine.

I had a Huawei P8 with OIS, After using it for a month the camera started to buzz and the image started to shake....a little bit of research got me the answer...since i used the phone on my motorcycle cellphone mount, the vibration screwed up the OIS motor. Ive been considering to buy a OP3, however im affraid the phone will damage as well since it comes with OIS: The question is, do you know if the technology is the same, being that both carry Sony sensor, im affraid it will have the same effect if i use it on my motorcycle.
Thanks
2019 I still have this phone perfectly working with android pie, so it is pretty durable.
same, and no plans on upgrading to a new phone any time soon 👌
Me too, I replaced the battery, camera module and usb c port. Like new!
2020 I still got my 3T. I have no reason to upgrade, it's such a great phone! I'm considering installing lineageOS so that I keep getting updates
If only oneplus didn't remove the headphone jack from their new phones though I definitely would've gotten another oneplus
@@dosetti how much it costed for those replacements??
@@akhilakky6052 battery 20eur, camera module 13eur and USB port 7euros. The price on eBay depends on how quickly you want items. Mine were from eu because I was in a hurry.. From China maybe 15eur for all.
Hi Jerry, I stump into this video 'cause I have a problem with my OP3 rear camera... the autofocus doesn't seems to respond. I was wondering if you knew about this, if it's convenient to change the camera or just open the phone apart and change it myself (that's how I got your video at the end!). Thanks a lot for your time and answer!
I have the same problem with my rear camera too.
if you're running cm on the opo It's a software issue.
heres a link to a xda thread (i removed the www to get around the spam filtering systems)

Jerry, considering all the other phones that u r reviewing lately, can u say de OP 3 is the sturdiest?
Going to replace the battery with the red one from my OPO.
That's a lot less screws than the OPO btw. Replaced my OPO screen 3 times, good to see that replacing it in the OP3 will be a lot quicker.
Not bad for a unybody smartphone^^
Do you know where we can fond One Plus 3 battery?
