The Engadget guide to the best midrange smartphones

It seemed like a dream on paper: The specs of the company's excellent debut flagship squeezed into a smaller, well constructed shell. In reality, OnePlus has cut some corners here.

With better all-round phones available in the same price range, including OnePlus' own flagship, it's difficult to recommend.
