What we like

This is a premium device with excellent performance characteristics. The pop-out camera is a unique feature and a very clever way of getting around the notch conundrum that many other manufacturers have had to contend with. It also does the basics very well, with great call quality, decent battery life and exceptional looks. This all comes together to give you a quality device that sits nicely in the top of the range league of smartphones that have been released in 2019.

What we don’t like

There is not a lot dislike about this phone as it delivers on multiple fronts. Some of the things that make this a great device for some also make it a little less desirable, with the pop-up camera being chief among those.

Should you buy it?

This is a high-end device with features that let you know that it is a flagship phone. Unique features, great cameras and decent battery life are all on offer here, making this a winner on multiple fronts. OnePlus as a brand has become really popular, and with phones like this on offer it is easy to see why.
