Fast, quality phone
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I was very pleased with this phone. Good build quality, very fast performance, strong battery. I wish that OnePlus included a telephoto lens instead of the dedicated macro. Charging is very fast with the Warp 65 charger. Battery life is strong anyway but being able to top up quickly is helpful.

Quality build in 2021 even!
Phone owned for less than 3 months

My fourth time back to OnePlus phones from both apple and Samsung devices. This phone is by far the most stable, and well designed OnePlus I've used yet and beats my expectations from coming from both the iphone 13 mini and the pro.
