Isn't it funny how a $600 phone is now considered budget? The world has gone mad lol.

[FutureNow]

The fact it can even be compared to phones twice its price makes this worth getting if you're on a budget.

My dream custom phone
Oneplus's oxygen os
Apples rear Cameras
Samsung's 120hz screen
Asus rog phone speakers
Xiaomi ir blaster
Motorized front camera
And a headphone jack!

Holy 20 million views that's insane

[PrashantKumar-spch]

And here we are after 2 years, in the era of OnePlus being the villian.

[AdamFazekas]

it's crazy to think that Oneplus went from 529 to 900 dollars in just two generations

[EddiePReacts]

I dont think android companies understand why alot of people still use them over iphones.
1. Freedom
2. Memory expansion (sd card)
3. Customization
4. New features prior to iphones getting them (even though people pretend its new when apple does it.
5. Headphone jack

The more android companies move in the direction of apple, the more people will just jump ship. My mentality is if im going to own an iphone like device ill just buy an iphone. Im not a fanboy. I dont swear allegiance to plastic regardless of the company

[KennethWayne]

I enjoy the approach to this review. Rather than listing specs and blindly comparing to the big dogs, you take into account *why* certain features are the way they are. I think OnePlus went to great lengths to understand the consumer rather than just trying to jump into the massive arms race of tech.

During the California Gold Rush clever folks went out for Gold; While the *smart* ones sold shovels.

Wireless charging won't be a deal-breaker for me until more American furniture manufacturers start putting wireless charging build into desks, and couches, and tables. Like they do at IKEA in Sweden.

I still have this OnePlus 6. Great phone! Still pretty smooth, they fixed the gestures, cameras are ok with GCam, software updates are still coming, but the Android updates are slow tho and the battery doesn't last as long as they used to. I'm thinking about getting a new battery and keeping the phone for at least one more year.

Thank you OnePlus for keeping the headphone jack. My main complaint is the glass back. If they're not going to include wireless charging then I would have much preferred a matte/brushed metal back. They feel nicer than glass, get less fingerprints and there's no chance of cracking. It probably costs less as well.

[veridian]

Dash Charge is one of the only reasons I've been sticking with OnePlus for so long

[Amigps]

I really wish reviewers stopped mentioning wireless charging. It’s not a feature that is important. It’s not a deal breaker. It doesn’t add huge amounts of convenience to your life.

Picking up a cord and plugging it in takes 3 seconds max. Dropping it in a pad takes one second. Saving two seconds on charging your phone isn’t game changing.

Revisiting this review as of 15th of december 2021. Still rocking this stamina beast of a phone since launch here in Sweden. Still runs all day without trouble, biggest change is that I went from charging every other day on average to every evening. It's going to be really hard to switch from this phone, where battery, rear fingerprintscanner and chargingspeed is going to be really hard to beat even with most of today flagships!

I waited for Marques' Oneplus 6 review since last year..





WORTH IT!

[LashanR]

As a fan of compact phones, if they made a OneMinus 6 I'd buy it immediately

[iggyj]

"A 500€ budget phone with compromises like no SD slot, and only a 1080p AMOLED display..."


iPhone XR: no SD slot, no headphone jack, an LCD display that isn't even 1080p.... *FOR 800€*

[KayTwo]

Wireless charging is useless for me as you cant use the phone while charging

[Docbeer]

*Pricing is good, however no water resistance, no wireless charging, no QuadHD screen, no inbuilt beard trimmer, no steam iron, no air humidifier :( Total bummer!*

[theryzilla]

No one does reviews as high quality as this. Thanks Marques!
