To recap
Sure, it’s pricier than its predecessors, but this handset continues to deliver a flagship experience that costs hundreds less than an equivalent from most others. That’s OnePlus’ big selling point, delivered time and again. If you want more from the cameras and a better-yet screen, look to the Pro model, otherwise this one is just super as it stands.
