Is it worth investing on OnePlus 6 Midnight Black 256GB?

Absolutely yes! The new OnePlus 6 variant looks gorgeous in raven-shade and despite the glass cover, it comes with a matte finish offering a premium feel and really good grip for the hand to hold the device.

The most important aspect is its price. No tier-1 brands offer such high configuration (8GB RAM + 256GB storage + Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 octa-core) for under Rs 55,000 in the market right now. You can get the aforementioned specs and really long lasting battery and camera in the OnePlus 6 for less than Rs 44,000.

OnePlus 6 sports a 6.2-inch full HD+ (2160x1080p) screen with 19:9 aspect ratio. It comes with an Apple iPhone X-like notch on top of the display, which houses a 20MP sensor with face unlock capability.

It boasts rear dual-camera 16MP+20MP with F1.7 aperture in the centre and a fingerprint sensor below it for easy access to the finger to unlock screen and also act as a shutter button to take a selfie.

Other stipulated specifications include Android Oreo-based OxygenOS 5.1, a 3,300mAh battery with new Dash Charge technology and support Bluetooth v5.0, NFC (Near Field Communication) and other standard connectivity features.
