The OnePlus 6 is a phone that is incredibly bright, has solid performance in both system and games, 128GB of storage, and a take on Android experience. The storage is also expandable on the Nord N20 via a micro SD card.
The Nord N20 is a great phone that easily achieves a two-day runtime with about 50% charge left at the end of the first day if we started at 100%. And when the battery gets too low for comfort, the fast charging technology offered here will save the day. The included charger will charge the phone about 20% in 15 minutes.
The Snapdragon 695 processor and 6GB of RAM make the OnePlus 5 a smooth and responsive phone, even when multitasking between multiple open apps. Even taking Extra HD photos at full resolution (64 or 108 megapixels) didn’t cause the system to slow down when processing these large files.
The N20 is a T-Mobile exclusive phone in the U.S., with unlocked models coming later. The phone prompts you to install bloatware apps multiple times during and after installation, but you can opt out of the majority of them. However, the phone will ask you several times during and after installation to install “premium app suggestions” from the carrier.
The OnePlus 6T is a phone that disappointed us with its camera system. Photos look very different in the viewfinder and after being processed by the phone, making it hard to tell if a shot will be better or worse once you press the shutter. Additionally, we could have done without the gimmicky macro camera. However, despite these shortcomings, we think that OnePlus has made an excellent phone overall.
