The Marvel Avengers edition also comes with the same glaring finish along with a carbon fiber pattern.

The Midnight Black finish doesn’t feel like glass at a glance. That’s why ‘corroded’ name is given by the company for its finish and which is absolutely right. It comes with matte finish and stealthiness. While holding in hand makes the refracted pattern in the glass and first look makes you hold it once.

There is a silk white finish as well to allure your attention but it will be available after two weeks of a product launch with the black options. This encompasses fingerprint sensor, rose gold frame, and accents around the camera module. It has a soft, sleek texture on the glass back which company claims to be actual pearl dust.

Although, you will find the look borderless there is a defined line around it. A notifications LED retains its place as fans love it. The alert slider moved from left to right side.

The size has been continuously increasing with every new model coming while there is no hype about the size but it is the resolution and sharpness that matter and OnePlus is delivering perfect eye-catching displays every time.

The secondary 20-megapixel sensor allows users to take shots in dim light and for vertical length effects. The OnePlus 6 camera produces blurry and smudgy photos and now it mature with software updates

Daylight shots have a warm tone, nice colors, great close-up subjects, but texture deteriorates with a slight distance. The portrait mode is not very satisfying in isolating subjects with a simple background. Low-light shots are good enough. With the bokeh lens effects mode, to distort the point of light to a star.

The front camera is normal performing and has a beautification mode. The pro model is available with manual controls and a live histogram. It covers video to 60fps at 4K in a five minute. The 1080p video samples are good to notice. The fresh super-slow-motion mode covers 480fps footage 720p in one minute.

Mono speaker is a downside, the sound is good but at higher volume it distorts.

Battery life is good but you couldn’t see the percentage in the status bar which is annoying for many. The HD video loop worked for only 10 hours, 59 minutes which is the poor score. In just half an hour, the huge Dash Charger charges it to 50% and takes around an hour and a half in full charge.

It has a Gaming Mode, face recognition feature but bothering is the automatic unlock sometimes before the lock screen shown. Recognition feature performs low in low sunlight and bright sunlight.

Verdict

With the new SoC, glass body and a new screen, it looks quite expensive than the predecessors. You will miss a high-res or HDR screen, 3D face or iris recognition, 960fps slow-motion, stereo speakers, an IP-rated weatherproof body, wireless charging, HDR video recording and AI enhancements in the OnePlus 6.

With the high price tag, the camera is not that much good and battery life is average. The Mirror Black option at Rs. 34,999 makes it quite tempting. For a better life, it has a versatile and up-to-date software. OnePlus fans who are looking for an upgrade will find it quite relieving and updated.
