Design and Display
Honestly, you’ve seen the design on a few smartphones already and you can very much see the similarity to the OnePlus 6T. Nonetheless, the aesthetics is more than satisfactory and you can see that from the gradient bodywork Built with a nice glass body, it is quite reflective which makes it very much likely to catch peoples attention depending on the colour option you have. You also get an almost full-screen experience with just the small notch and a bit of a chin at the bottom in the way.
The charm of an AMOLED display is ever alluring and with the Full HD+ resolution on the phone you can be satisfied with the quality of colour delivered to your eyes.
