  • Please be noted that the smartphone One plus 3 does not use RGB colors. Instead, it is purely based on NTSC color profiles.
  • So the expected variation is possible. This is however not a hardware defect as is presumed to be.

3) Problem: Issues of RAM noticed and the apps face rapid clearance from memory

The users have encountered rapid clearance of apps from memory during parallel execution process and are oftentimes required to be reloaded for the same.

Solution

  • Well, for the users, you need to know that One plus 3 uses rigorous memory management and is oftentimes required to clear the corresponding memory for better battery performance.
  • However, if you still wish to resolve this issue, you might want to consider modification of a specific file in the system
