Design:
It has an Aluminium frame with both front and back glass. It is a slim smartphone with 8.2mm thickness.

It supports Dual SIM but there is no microSD card slot. One drawback is that there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. OnePlus provides a Type-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter for headphones. This smartphone is one of the best looking smartphones and gives you a very premium feel.
Display:
It has a 1080 x 2340 pixels Optic AMOLED display with water drop notch. Its screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6. It has 86% screen to body ratio and this display is very good and it has good viewing angles. Watching movies and playing games on this screen will give you lot of fun.

So no need to tell that it is one of the fastest smartphones in the market even now. It has Adreno 630 GPU which generates high quality graphics and when this processor and GPU combine, they give you one of the best gaming experience. Playing heavy games on this smartphone is a breeze and this smartphone also handles day to day tasks very fast. Its 8 GB RAM again helps to boost its speed.
Camera:
It has 16+20MP Dual camera setup at the rear with the 16MP main lens having OIS. The picture quality is good but it is not the kind of a flagship device, especially when you compare it with Samsung Galaxy S9. Even though, you can live with it.
It can record 4K videos and it even has EIS. You can also record Full HD slow motion videos on this smartphone.
The selfie camera is 16MP single shooter and has a wide angle lens. It can take decent pictures and it also has EIS for video recording.
Battery:
It has a big 3700mAh battery which can last one and half day. Even under heavy usage, it can last for one full day. You don’t have to worry about low battery percentage because this smartphone has Fast charge which charges its battery rapidly.
Positives:
