OnePlus 6 deals and reviews

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

The OnePlus 6 offers significant improvements over last year's OnePlus 5T...the decision to add a Snapdragon 845 processor to a phone that costs...less than its similarly-equipped competition is a seriously smart move. Throw in a handful of camera upgrades, a refreshing new design and Android 8.1 Oreo straight out the box, and the OnePlus 6 begins to paint a familiarly appealing picture. This is a smartphone that's just as meaty as its rivals, with a not-so-outrageous price tag attached.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The new OnePlus 6 holds true to a winning formula: a premium smartphone with top-end specs that costs less than half the price of an iPhone X.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

The OnePlus 6 is a killer phone and would - quite frankly - be a competitive flagship even if it was priced to match its competitors. It's not, and its starting price point make it complete no brainer.

Know Your Mobile | Richard Goodwin

This is one of the best Android phones on the planet right now. It looks amazing and it runs brilliantly. But best of all is the price: it's significantly cheaper than ALL of its peers. I'd take one of these handsets over the iPhone X every day. It's that good. So do yourself a favour and check it out. You will not be disappointed.

IT PRO | Adam Shepherd

If you want the camera, performance and design of the best flagships on the market without paying the £700-plus pricetag, the OnePlus 6 is the phone you've been waiting for. This is 2018's must-have device.

TechRadar | John McCann

The OnePlus 6 feels grown-up, and it certainly doesn't look or feel out of place alongside the top-flight competition from the likes of Apple, Samsung and Sony. Performance is good, the screen bright and colorful, the design appealing, and there's a solid camera too.

Alphr | Alan Martin

It's faster phone and has a camera that's to be a better performer, too. In short, the OnePlus 6 represents the biggest bargain in the smartphone world.

Stuff | Robert Leedham

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.

Engadget | Richard Lai

... for me, the OnePlus 6 has hit most of the sweet spots: This is a uniquely gorgeous device with intuitive features, as well as solid battery life and a great camera. Then I remember that attractive price.

The Economic Times | ET Bureau

Yeah, there are a few cut corners but you'll have to spend a lot more to get those corners back! For its price, OnePlus still has the market cornered.

MobileTechTalk | Kurt Colbeck

OnePlus managed to create a masterpiece for half the price of every flagship smartphone out there, yet again proving that money isn't everything if you want the smartphone of your dreams, because it's already arrived in the form of the OnePlus 6.

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

No phone maker has done a better job delivering bang for the buck than OnePlus, and the feature-packed OnePlus 6 is another winner.

TechnoBuffalo | Brandon Russell

It is missing some high-profile features, like wireless charging and true water-resistance. But it more than makes up for those shortcomings with design, power, and price.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

The OnePlus 6 gives you nearly the same performance of top devices for a fraction of the price. That's the very definition of a good deal. If top brands aren't important to you and you'd rather save serious cash without sacrificing performance, the OnePlus 6 is a serious option to weigh.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

The OnePlus 6 has stepped up its design game in a big way, bringing an all-glass back, killer display, and premium specs, all while keeping its low price.

Mashable | Raymong Wong

The OnePlus 6 exceeds expectations in so many ways we can now rightfully call it a flagship killer.

Ubergizmo | Eliane Fiolet

The OnePlus 6 is a handset with an extraordinary value to the user, and it's not a surprise why there is an active, almost religious, user community around this brand and product.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

In terms of the overall package, cost no bar, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and Huawei P20 Pro still offer the goods.

CNET UK | Patrick Holland

The OnePlus 6 is an excellent phone and gives you many of the features of more costly flagship phones.

GadgetMatch | Marvin Velasco

A bunch of A-list smartphones have launched since the OnePlus 6 first came to existence, but none have reached the level of speed this thing has.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey

... we can bet our last penny that any person who is in the market for a high-end Android device will almost certainly consider the OnePlus 6.

Ars Technica | Ron Amedeo

OnePlus is hesitant to stand behind its products with a solid support policy...A series of downgrades is saved by the low price...Metal made the previous phone stand out, but now it's just another smartphone...you can flash your own updates if you want...OnePlus switched to a glass back and didn't add wireless charging, so this is a straight downgrade over last year...A smaller fingerprint reader than last year...The phone isn't waterproof.

AndroidPit | Shu On Kwok

The OnePlus 6 is making more than a good impression so far. But if you are an ambitious amateur photographer who needs the best smartphone camera with the highest photo and video quality, then the OnePlus 6 is not the right camera for you.

The Telegraph | Matthew Field

The best value handset that's just short of perfect.

Mobile Syrup | Igor Bonifacio

While it's true the OnePlus 6 still asks potential buyers to make several compromises, the phone offers significant value at several hundred dollars less than the competition.

T3 | Robert Jones

Be under no illusion, the OnePlus 6 is fast, very fast, and its good (if not market leading) screen, battery, and camera performance makes it one of the best high-end phones you can buy in 2018.

The Verge | Dan Seifert

The OnePlus 6 is an evolution of what OnePlus has been doing since its beginning, without really breaking from that mold. There's certainly a lot to like here - attractive design, great display, reliable battery life, fast performance, and great software - and there aren't any silly, trend-chasing things such as gimmicky AI features, dedicated hardware buttons for virtual assistants, or weird squeezing interfaces that just get in the way.

Gadgets Now | Robin Sinha

OnePlus 6 definitely nearly has all that it takes to compete with other flagships in the market. The keyword here being 'nearly'...misses like water-resistance build, no wireless charging, same front-facing camera and battery. But on the brighter side you get some of the crucial features such as OIS, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, slow-motion video recording and even the gigabit LTE connectivity support.
