What reviewers say

The Guardian and Engadget praised the refined metal build, quick performance, AMOLED screen and much better endurance than the OnePlus 3. Both liked the fast charging and improved front camera, while finding the rear camera short of the best rivals. The Guardian felt the higher launch price made the update less compelling for existing OnePlus 3 owners; Engadget also described it as a modest update apart from the battery.
