The OnePlus 6 is a beast and at a starting price of Rs. 34,999 for the 6GB RAM and 64 GB storage, the phone is totally worth it.

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.

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...

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

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

The OnePlus 6 is a worse phone than the OnePlus 5T. The new SoC is nice, but other than that we get downgrades in the form of a higher price, a switch from metal to glass, and a smaller, harder-to-use fingerprint reader.

The price, the price, the price; This is $300 cheaper than comparable hardware from Samsung or Google, OnePlus' software keeps the Material Design look that matches the rest of the app ecosystem while still adding features and customizations, An unlocked bootloader, Project Treble support, and a...

OnePlus switched to a glass back and didn't add wireless charging, so this is a straight downgrade over last year, No official update policy from OnePlus, A smaller fingerprint reader than last year; Why, The phone isn't waterproof, as OnePlus "does not recommend excessive submersion.

Immersive 6.28-inch bezel-less screen; Much-improved camera; Incredibly speedy and responsive

No wireless charging; No definitive IP water and dust resistance rating; Mirror Black colour a magnet for fingerprints and smudges

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.

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

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.
