OnePlus 6 looks like the perfect budget phone, save for one major omission

Earlier than usual and amidst a flurry of leaks, OnePlus has finally shown off the OnePlus 6. It’s a beautiful smartphone that features the best of what OnePlus has to offer, from its premium design to its clean software. As OnePlus put it, the OnePlus 6 offers an impressive balance of simplicity, comfort, and quality.

And with a starting price of $529, it undercuts many of the company’s big competitors, including Apple and Samsung. For folks in the U.S., it’s hard to justify why someone would spend $700 on a phone when they can get a device for significantly less.

Unfortunately, while the OnePlus 6 offers seemingly every major feature consumers could want, it omitted something that’s become standard among today’s top flagships: wireless charging.

During OnePlus’s presentation on Wednesday, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei talked breathlessly about how the OnePlus 6 displays the company’s boldest and most ambitious design to date, from its all-glass exterior to its expansive display. There’s even a 3.5mm headphone jack, a decision that will no doubt curry favor with consumers.

But even with an all-glass design, OnePlus omitted wireless charging completely, instead justifying the device’s build as being better than metal for a wireless signal. I’ll take convenience over a slightly better signal, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this sentiment.
