One of the companies we've been closely tracking since its inception is OnePlus. The brand started off with the OnePlus One, a phone not many people knew about, but one that took the tech world by storm.

At this time of year we see high end flagships announced by Samsung, Apple, and Google with prices for the larger devices starting at $899. OnePlus entered the fray with one of its most affordable phones in the past couple of years with the OnePlus 7T .

Affordable prices for specs; Extremely responsive; Latest Android software; High quality design; fit; and finish; Loud stereo speakers

No dust/water resistance; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 7T is quite the upgrade over the standard OnePlus 7, sporting a larger 6.55in display, a bigger battery, improved camera setup and 30W fast charging support. The design is subtle but eye-catching, enhanced by the fourth-gen frosted matte glass finish.

Even without an edge-to-edge design, the OnePlus 7T is one of the best Android phones of the year-at any price.

Incredible display with ultra smooth scrolling; A truly excellent camera; Android 10 is ready to go out of the box

No wireless charging; No IP-rated water resistance

The reasons to not buy a OnePlus phone are rapidly shrinking. Where design, carrier support, and camera were all detriments on previous models, OnePlus has turned those from cons into pros over the past few models, and the $599 OnePlus 7T is truly a phone any manufacturer would be proud to call a...

I find the OnePlus 7T very confusing, but I'd feel less confused if the OnePlus 7 Pro didn't exist. Taken purely on its own, as a $599 alternative to the iPhone XR or Galaxy S10e, it has a lot going for it-a terrifically responsive screen with a smooth UI, fast charging, and excellent wireless...

Good price for fast, smooth performance; Excellent wireless capabilities; Fast charging

Poor low-light camera performance; Less storage and shorter battery life than the OnePlus 7 Pro

I have been an Apple user since the 3 but got tired of being slowed down! I spent a lot of time researching and I can honestly say I am really happy with my OnePlus 7T. It's super fast, the camera is great, it's battery life is fantastic....I'm an android convert!!

If you purchased a OnePlus 7 and felt slightly disappointed by the lack of razzamatazz, then the 7T is what you're after. It looks better, it feels better and has that extra camera in a futuristic-looking dome.

Stunning design; Superb display; Long battery life

Expensive

The OnePlus 7T was announced in October alongside the 7T Pro and with it comes a better display/camera set-up than the OnePlus 7 offered but it's not quite as expensive as the 7T Pro so you can take better photos without spending too much cash.

Great screen; Price; Good image quality; High-speed device; Impressive night mode

No wireless charging; No headphone socket; Digital zoom is terrible

Between the OnePlus 7T and its more expensive Pro brother, the former is a better buy if you're looking to upgrade to a flagship this 2019. There's really no describing how smooth that 90Hz refresh rate looks in person, which is just cherry on top of a really nice-looking fluid AMOLED panel.
