OnePlus 6 review: Is this the best Android phone available right now?

When the OnePlus One made its debut in 2014, it was a genuine delight. The device featured a unique sandstone design, powerful specs, and a shockingly affordable price ($299). It dared to challenge the status quo when Apple and Samsung were at their most powerful. And thanks to clever marketing, the company’s risk paid off, as OnePlus quickly gained a loyal following.

OnePlus has more or less stuck to that same strategy over the past few years, with small refinements and more powerful specs with each subsequent release. The downside is every new phone has been more expensive than the last, and thanks to an increasingly saturated mobile market, the company’s devices are beginning to feel less unique than they once were.

The OnePlus 6 is no different.

That’s not to say the company’s latest device is bad. Just the opposite. But we’ve reached a new level of saturation where nearly every phone has an all-glass design, dual-camera, and notched display. The OnePlus 6 falls in line with the rest of them, though it does have a headphone jack. Unfortunately, it doesn’t carry an official IP rating, and wireless charging is nowhere to be found.

At $529, however, it’s hard not to compare the OnePlus 6 against something like the Galaxy S9, which is a few hundred dollars more and similarly specced. At the very least, OnePlus’s device is worth serious consideration; it offers a phenomenal design, clean software, and a decent camera.
