Here's the thing, though. The power of OnePlus, a Chinese brand out of Shenzhen, isn't that it's crested the pinnacle of mobile design and performance. It's that the hardware and overall experience of using the handset is the best deal you can buy for features that many people want.

There are objectively "better" phones than the OnePlus 6: devices with longer battery life, more features and cutting edge technology. Where the iPhone X has secure Face ID, the OnePlus 6 has a convenient -- but not secure -- face unlock feature. Where other phones with glass backs support wireless charging, the OnePlus 6 will power up through the cable alone. And while you can completely submerge top devices from Samsung, LG, Huawei and Apple in water, the OnePlus 6 is merely splash-proof.
