Aside from being a fantastic worth for a flagship cellphone, the OnePlus additionally has stable cameras that take sharp and clear photographs. Simply notice that the digital camera module is strikingly cumbersome and you will see a watermark from Hasselblad (the digital camera firm OnePlus companions with) until you decide to take away it.
The battery life is one other win. We measured a lifespan of over 26 hours in our video rundown take a look at. And after simply 10 minutes of wall charging, the cellphone bought from 10 to 55 p.c.
