OnePlus 6 Revisited: With the OnePlus 7 on the horizon, is it still worth it?

We’re currently knee-deep in 2019 flagship smartphone launches, but let’s take a step back in time to May 2018. That’s when OnePlus’ first flagship of the year, the OnePlus 6, was officially launched. XDA TV’s Daniel Marchena revisited the phone that launched almost a year ago and evaluated whether it’s still good today with the OnePlus 7 on the way.

The first thing Daniel mentions is how nice the device still feels in the hand. OnePlus did a great job at designing a device that feels just as premium as phones that cost double the price. He also still prefers the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner to the newer in-display options. OxygenOS is aging nicely and has received many updates over the last year. Daniel says the software and hardware have aged without issue, unlike the Pixel 3. Check out the video below for the full analysis.
