Features, Performance, and Reviews for the OnePlus 6
OnePlus 6's size
The OnePlus 6 is 3.0 inches (75.4 mm) wide, 6.1 inches (155.7 mm) tall, and 0.3 inches (7.8 mm) thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the OnePlus 6, it weighs about 177 oz (177 g). It feels a little heavy when held with one hand. It may tire your hand out if you operate it for too long a time.
In giving an overall rating to the OnePlus 6, while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.
OnePlus 6's screen
The OnePlus 6 has a 6.28 inch screen. The smartphone has a large, impressive screen, which allows you to enjoy photos and videos to the fullest. It is also very good for writing business documents and doing other work.
The screen of the OnePlus 6 is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.
The CPU performance of OnePlus 6
The OnePlus 6 has an extremely high processing power of 2.8GHz+1.7GHz×8(OctaCore), so it can smoothly run any app out there with ease. Its performance ranks among the top-class of all smartphones released to date. It's well suited to running even the most demanding of 3D games with ease.
The OnePlus 6 has a very high RAM capacity at 8GB. There are few cases where the RAM capacity would be insufficient, so it is also well suited to multitasking. It's unlikely to feel slow even when switching between several different apps.
The OnePlus 6 is an exceptional high-end smartphone. You will be fully content with its performance in all areas. It is a must-have for you if operation performance is important for you.
OnePlus 6's storage capacity
The OnePlus 6 has 256GB of data storage, which is perfect for people who frequently take photos and videos. It is suited to taking both photos and videos, and is unlikely to feel inconvenient even with lots of apps or games installed.
The OnePlus 6 is not compatible with SD cards, so make sure you check that there's enough storage for your needs.
The camera function of OnePlus 6
The OnePlus 6 has a 20 MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.
The OnePlus 6 is equipped with a rather powerful 16 MP front camera. The photos turn out quite well since they don't look grainy even when you print them out.
The battery performance of OnePlus 6
The OnePlus 6 has a relatively large battery with 3300 mAh. The OnePlus 6 has a good battery life compared to other smartphones. You won't feel stressed even if you spend all day surfing the web or on Twitter and you can also watch videos or play games on the go without having to worry too much about the battery. If you watch videos or play games for too long, however, you might want to watch your battery a bit.

The OnePlus 6 is a high-performance smartphone. You're not likely to experience any inconvenience in general use.
