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

New OnePlus phone, same old unbelievable value

Fantastic screen; Speedy internals; Amazing pricing

Humdrum design; Camera can disappoint

It might be the most expensive OnePlus ever made, but stack this phone against any of its flagship rivals and it still offers incredibly good value for your cash. From a huge OLED screen to those ridiculously speedy internals, everything you’d expect from a flagship phone is here for hundreds of pounds less. Crucially, all these specs hang together seamlessly in what is an extremely polished product. Sure, there are even better looking glass phones out there and dual cameras with more in the way of finesse, but that's why the OnePlus 6’s rivals all cost closer to a grand. For less than half that total, you really can't say fairer. If you're not minded towards flagships such as the iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro, this phone should be your first port of call. And if you are? The OnePlus 6 should be reason enough to reconsider.

As a refinement of the already well-made OnePlus 5T, the OnePlus 6 is a big step toward the company's vision of "the perfect smartphone." Still, it depends on how one defines "perfect"; at least from a technical standpoint, the OnePlus 6 is stuck with a lower screen resolution than other flagships,...

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.

The OnePlus 6 delivers everything you want from a phone for a price you don't mind paying.

Polished mirror finish looks great; Massive screen in a compact body; Super-fast performance; Speedy charging; Great price

No IP-rated water resistance; No support on Verizon or Sprint

Call it a testament to OnePlus' consistency, but the startup phone maker didn't have to do much to improve upon its last handset, the OnePlus 5T . Like a championship-winning NBA team whose return trip to the Finals is guaranteed just by bringing back the same players, it was a pretty safe bet that...

Class-leading display; Unrivaled performance; Intuitive gestures; Innovative glass design; Super-fast charging battery; Affordable price relative to premium phones

A little too big; Battery life has taken a hit; Won't work on Verizon or Sprint

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
