What reviewers say
Reviewers agree on very fast performance, useful software customisation, good battery life and quick charging. Camera quality improves on earlier OnePlus phones but falls behind the strongest rivals, particularly in low light and portrait processing. They also criticise the familiar design and missing water resistance and wireless charging; PCWorld finds the display dated, while Android Authority praises its colour and contrast.
