Oneplus has been producing excellent smartphones at affordable prices for years. The Oneplus 6, the brand's new release, might be its best phone yet. Much of what makes the OnePlus 6 special is the completely top-end specs and other powerful features. Next let's get more details about the device and see how it performs.

Design and display

As a first for the OnePlus family, the Onplus 6 features a glass-backed rear, which is a popular design choice in the market today. After several years of fitting its handsets with aluminum, OnePlus has transitioned to Gorilla Glass 5 all around with the OnePlus 6. OnePlus jumped on board with the notch design of the iPhone X and packed in a 6.26-inch AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 19:9, giving you a taller display that offers up more on screen. Colors are vibrant, videos have rich detail. The screen to body ratio is an impressive 84 percent thanks to that notch and you only have minimal chin on the bottom of the display. The phone is comfortable to hold, and, with a gentle weight bump to 6.2 ounces (177g), it strikes a nice balance between portability and premium feel. It's available in three different finishes, including a reflective Mirror Black, matte midnight black and a limited-edition Silk White finish. Overall, the Oneplus 6 has good build quality and lovely display.

Hardware and software

Under the hood, the OnePlus 6 packs some powerful specs. It's powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 845, which is the same processor found in the US version of the Galaxy S9, as well as the Asus ZenFone 5Z. And there is no surprise that it delivers excellent performance. What's more, the OnePlus 6 is the company's first phone to support gigabit LTE speeds, and it supports 25 different LTE bands (in the North American model), including T-Mobile's new Band 71 and AT&T's Band 30. The smartphone also comes with 8GB of RAM, and speedy UFS 2.1 storage.

A big highlight for each and every OnePlus device has been the software, and the OnePlus 6 is no exception. OxygenOS comes out of the box with Android Oreo on this phone, and it runs very fast. OxygenOS actually improves a lot in a few big ways. The biggest improvement is in its customizability. You can do and change just about everything in OxygenOS. Overall, the OnePlus 6's software is great. It's user-friendly, clean, and timely updates. So when it comes to performance, the OnePlus 6 is very fast with powerful hardware and software.

Camera

Like OnePlus' previous phone, the OnePlus 6 relies on a pairing of 16MP and 20MP lenses at the back to take photos. Both cameras have a wide f/1.7 aperture, and employ the same wide-view angle. In the low-light conditon, the cameras have high-performance thanks to that larger aperture. In fact, the two major improvements OnePlus made to its camera system were specifically designed to capture better shots in dim scenarios. The main 16-MP shooter is now equipped with optical-image stabilization, so photos taken on the 16MP rear camera are crisp, well-processed, and have great colors and dynamic range. Besides, OnePlus 6 supports super slow-motion video capture at 480 frames per second (fps) and 720p resolution.

Battery life

Oneplus 6 is equipped with a 3,300 mAh battery, which is not insanely massive, but can easily supprt a full day of use. Further, the OnePlus 6 brings back OnePlus's fast charging system, but it doesn't have wireless charging. OnePlus's Dash Charger is the fastest wired charging option you can get, which makes topping up the battery very easy. If you do end up with a depleted battery, the bundled Dash Charger takes only about 30 minutes to pump it back up to 50 percent, then a further 80 minutes to reach full charge.

Verdict

OnePlus does a good job of making an affordable smartphone feel like a top-of-the-line flagship device. The oneplus 6 smartphone has proved that why OnePlus has excellent reputation for its devices. This gorgeous phone works well in most ways. It offers a tons of features at affordable price that can compete with some big-name brands. We can say that the Oneplus 6 has been the new standard for an affordable flagship smartphone.
