OnePlus 6

Engadget Review
The OnePlus 6 is a refreshing glass-based design change for the phone series. Not only does the phone pack the latest flagship processor and up to a whopping 8GB of RAM, it still comes with a solid battery life. Most importantly, the OnePlus 6 features a much improved camera that even beats the iPhone X. OxygenOS continues to deliver a super slick performance, with its intuitive navigation gestures taking advantage of the stunning AMOLED screen’s larger real estate. The lack of microSD expansion and wireless charging may annoy some, but the OnePlus 6 delivers the best balance between performance and value.
The reasonably priced powerhouse now comes in an elegant package.

- 87AVERAGE CRITIC SCORE10 ReviewsCNET80Top-notch speed and performance for hundreds lessThe OnePlus 6 is an excellent phone and gives you many of the features of more costly flagship phones.Ars Technica70A series of downgrades is saved by the low priceIf the 6 was $800, it would be a completely forgettable, generic device, like the LG G7. It's not $800, though; it's way cheaper than that. As long as you know all the flaws going in, that lower price makes it worth considering. OnePlus isn't the slam-dunk awesome phone it has been in the past, though.The Guardian100Top-end smartphone for half cost of iPhone XThe OnePlus 6 demonstrates that despite what marketers might say, you really don’t need to pay £700 to £1,000 for a really great phone.Mashable90Flagship KillerThe OnePlus 6 exceeds expectations in so many ways we can now rightfully call it a flagship killer.Android Authority90The spiritual successor to the NexusIf you want a ton of bang for buck, a premium experience, and don’t mind losing out on a few extra features, buy this phone.phoneArena90OnePlus 6 ReviewWe feel that the OnePlus 6 is a beautiful phone that feels fast and that you will simply enjoy using day in and day out.
