For all the plaudits it garnered, the OnePlus 5T wasn't quite a hands-down winner. It didn't launch with the latest Android OS, for example, which isn't the case here, as the OnePlus 6 has the very latest Android version on board.

Is this the best Android phone available right now?

The OnePlus 6 is a device worth taking a peek at if you're in the market for a new phone. This is a handset that is at once a high-performer, low cost, and highly capable. It has an abundance of options and it's very good at what it's meant to do.

Display is bright; colorful; Battery lasts all day; Camera is highly decent; Device feels premium with glass/metal design; Pricing is better than most

Display is 1080p (could also be a pro; Glass feels nice; but glass requires a case; No official resistance to water or dust (IP rating; No wireless charging

Four years and eight phones down the line, the OnePlus mission remains the same: to offer flagship-quality phones at the cheapest possible price. We've spent the last week testing out the latest phone to aim for that goal, the brand new OnePlus 6, and here are our thoughts.

OnePlus 6 treads a similar path to previous OnePlus handsets, squeezing in high-end hardware while keeping the price down

The OnePlus 6's price start at Rs 34,999 and for that price, there's no other smartphone that can perform as well as this beast. It has a crisp display that offers vivid colours and gives great battery performance.

Great Performance; Optimised OS; Great Battery Life; Dash Charge Is A Must; Water Resistant; Great Build Quality; Amazing Gaming Experience

Camera Needs Improvement; Average Speakers; Earpiece Affects Call Quality; Fingperint Magnet (Midnight Black Variant

OnePlus's latest smartphone is another model designed to compete with the likes of Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone models, but at a much cheaper price. The tagline of the OnePlus 6 is "the speed you need", and has been designed to be quite different from the last few OnePlus phones.

With great software experience, speedy charging, big and vibrant screen and competitive price - OnePlus 6 is a good upgrade.

Dependable Battery Life Big; Bright Display High-speed performance Good price

No wireless charging Slippery and heavy body Bad sound quality Not completely water resistance

OnePlus has one single promise - top hardware at an affordable price point. Their "Never Settle" motto speaks to that promise. However, with the OnePlus 6 breaking the Php30k price barrier, we're not sure if that promise still holds true.
