Whether you already have the OnePlus 3 — a great device really for its $399 price — or are planning to buy one, you should know about these accessories. We’ve included cool (Type C) USB-C Dash charger too, because this is special one OnePlus.
Other cool accessories included here are cases and covers for OnePlus 3, and also tampered glass, headphones, etc. And there are bundle packs (essentials and Go BIG) available too — yes, decent money savings! — if you are not looking for only one accessory.
We would say you definitely go for the Dash charger, USB-C cable (red one, yes!) and add a protective case to it. There isn’t a pack available of these three, but these three are highly recommended.
OnePlus 3 USB-C 3.1 Cable
If you love OnePlus 3’s cable and its color, don’t hesitate to buy another one should you need more than one cable. This red cable from OnePlus 2 is instantly like-able, and at this cost, it’s worth the small premium one has to pay compared to market cables.
Though, if you are low on budget and don’t think will be using the secondary cable a lot, looking at other option on eBay is a good thing to do too.

OnePlus 3 Dash Charger
FYI, OnePlus 3 uses Dash Charging — a cool tech by OnePlus — whereby the device won’t be heating a lot like other devices when you put it to charge, even though you are racing an Audi in the Asphalt 8: Airborne Android game. Dash charging does the regulator work in charger instead of the device, thus while charging at ultra fast speed — over 60% in 30 mins — it helps device keep its head and body cool.
The drawback however is, that other quick chargers available in the market who obviously don’t have this tech, are thus not compatible with OnePlus 3’s quick charging, and will be able to charge only at normal speeds.
So, if you want really quick extra charger, go only for Dash Charger from OnePlus. Otherwise, pick normal charger from the market, it’s futile to buy a quick charger if it’s not Dash Charger. You can even use old USB charger, but make sure you have the normal to Type-C USB cable to use with the charger. Give the cable section a look below for such USB 3.1 cables.
