5 Reasons to Buy the OnePlus 6 & 4 Reasons Not to
The OnePlus 6 is one of the best Android smartphones out there, but it isn’t perfect. We’ll help you decide if you should buy the OnePlus 6, or if you should wait or buy another phone.
Alternatives like the Galaxy S9 or LG G7 offer a great experience and in some cases, better performance and features. However, most phones can’t offer everything OnePlus does at its price.
In fact, the OnePlus 6 is hard to beat for $529. You’re getting a huge 6.3-inch display, dual cameras, and the latest version of Android 8.1 Oreo. The company even released a preview of Android P for the OnePlus 6 already.

We want to help you decide if the big screen, sleek design, dual cameras, and smooth software experience offer enough to outweigh some of the cons. Those being the notch in the screen, missing features, and an average camera setup.
