In the age of metal and glass back phones, OnePlus has brought a refreshing change in the form of this lightweight device.

Sporting a polycarbonate panel in stunning summery colourways ensures it doesn't look cheap despite the price tag. When it comes to performance, you get consistent dependability with the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset under the hood. It won't set the charts on fire isn't going to set benchmarking charts on fire, but will satisfy you when it comes to day-to-day use basic tasks and multitasking capability with a bit of casual gaming without any lags or stutters. The 4,500mAh battery with the 65W charger can regularly survive an entire day of usage and charges rapidly st a pinch.

The triple camera is quite a capable contender too!
