#Oneplus 3t where are my lockbox files full#
Given I was able to spot this ahead of release, I wrote an article explaining some of the changes that were coming to the OnePlus 3 and also mentioned in the full review that F2FS was coming to the OnePlus 3 in the near future. The storage is the same and the processor bump is minimal, but this file system change alone was enough to bring serious improvements to real-world performance in the form of slightly-faster opening speeds for everyday apps, and dramatic improvements to loading heavy games such as Asphalt 8, as shown above. F2FS is a different file system that specifically takes advantage of flash storage like that of these phones, and as such it makes sense to incorporate it with the OnePlus 3 and 3T’s already-excellent UFS 2.0 storage solution as well. Initially we were puzzled, but there was a key detail in the embargoed information that was also very quietly and quickly mentioned by Carl in the announcement video ( timestamp): the file system had changed from EXT4 to F2FS, which is why there is a difference in app opening speeds. That being said, when we took the OnePlus 3T through our app opening speed test, we did find that the device has faster cold app opening speeds than its predecessor.

This struck us as a surprise, because the device ultimately packs the same kind of UFS 2.0 storage as the original OnePlus 3, and the Snapdragon 821 CPU’s minimal improvements are largely irrelevant for this usage scenario. Among the improvements that OnePlus touted for its OnePlus 3T release, we were told that the company had managed to improve app opening speeds and general loading times, something especially noticeable on heavy applications such as 3D games.
