The OnePlus 5 was one hell of a smartphone, and the mid-cycle OnePlus 5T refresh simply helped cement it as one of the best models released over the past 5 years. Despite a top-of-mid-range price, the OnePlus 5 was arguably a game-changing transition phone for the indie Chinese maker, progressing it...

Incredibly fast; with big benchmark scores; Packs a whopping 8GB of RAM; Large and vivid AMOLED; HDR screen; Beautiful all-glass design; Lightning fast face unlock; Silk White colourway is lush

Battery capacity is good but not ideal; Flat light camera system performance isn't great; Water resistant; but not IP67/68 certified; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 6 is the brand's most well-rounded and grown-up phone to date, and placed alongside the likes of the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9, Sony Xperia XZ2 and LG G7 ThinQ it certainly doesn't look or feel out of place.

Plenty of power; strong cameras; Clean; fuss-free Android interface; Glass design is premium

'Only' a Full HD resolution; No expandable storage; Single; down-firing speaker

The OnePlus 6 is an awesome phone and would - quite frankly - be a competitive flagship even if it was priced to match its competitors. It's not, and as such its £469 starting price point makes it complete no brainer. This is the company's first no-compromise smartphone.

Good-looking design with sturdy build; Bright and colourful display; Dash Charge is a major plus; Speedy smooth performance; Much better camera

No wireless charging; No official IP rating against water and dust resistance; Most Android apps not optimised for notched screen yet

This is one of the best Android phones on the planet right now. It looks amazing and it runs brilliantly. But best of all is the price: it's significantly cheaper than ALL of its peers. I'd take one of these handsets over the iPhone X every day of the week and twice on a Sunday. It's that good.

Amazing Design; Great, OLED Display; Fantastic Camera; Solid Battery Life; Great Software

Err..; The Speakers Are A But Tinny; But That's About It

OnePlus has carved out an excellent reputation for its devices, and it's one that's well warranted. Its phones have historically offered an excellent combination of power and price, giving the big-name competitors a real run for their money. This has never been more true than with the OnePlus 6.

Superb camera; Comparable performance to Galaxy S9; Amazing display

Battery life is more disappointing than the 5T; No IP67 waterproofing

The OnePlus 6 is premium device that cuts the right corners in pursuit of a sub-£500 price. Starting at £469, it certainly isn't a cheap smartphone but it is less than half the cost of Apple's iPhone X and considerably cheaper than the top-end Android competition.

good battery life; great screen; excellent performance; dual-sim; great camera; premium build and feel; Bluetooth 5

glass is more fragile than metal; no wireless charging; no IP water resistance rating; no expandable storage

OnePlus 6: The OnePlus 6 is better than ever, and is still much cheaper than its Android rivals

Significantly cheaper than its rivals; Camera is better than ever; Excellent performance

Shorter battery life than the OnePlus 5T

It's impressive how that in less than five years, OnePlus has gone from releasing phones barely anyone had heard of to having a glitzy launch party at the Olympic Stadium in London. The OnePlus 6 is the brand's best phone yet, and it's competition to the , and .

A huge leap in design; Seriously fast; Dash Charge is still great; if slightly restrictive; A well-thought-out version of Android with great extras

Camera still needs improvement; Missing a few ‘flagship' features

The OnePlus 6 is, undoubtedly, the best OnePlus smartphone yet. And now that the company has finally made a competitive camera, it's the firm's first true "flagship killer", giving the likes of the Galaxy S9, iPhone X and Pixel 2 a run for their money.

Premium design; stunning display; slick performance and OS; flagship worthy camera

Average battery life; no wireless charging; no IP67/68 certification

When the OnePlus 6 was launched yesterday afternoon , there really wasn't a lot that was new - more a process of picking out the few erroneous rumours from the many that proved accurate.
