Seems like a great phone, I use however my phone as a backup for essential data I don't want to store online and I want to keep on my person at all time. This means SD card, without it this phone is sadly not an option I can consider. The omission of a removable battery is sorely missed for long trips where a simple switch to a new battery means never downtime...
 
No SD card and not available on Verizon and yet you are calling it a Flag Ship killer? Don't think so.
 
1080 display...not a flagship killer......no IP water and dust resistant...not a flagship killer....no wireless charging on an all glass design??? not a flagship killer....no SD slot...not a flagship killer. People keep saying what an incredible value??? Its not worth a penny more than what they are asking...if they were to incorporate all of the things I mentioned, well then you have a phone pushing $1000.00. I will say its the best EVER mid-range phone.
 
I think, given the various spyware scandals related to products from Chinese companies, and recent spyware found on OnePlus products in particular, it might be worth a mention in a review, no?
 

Agreed on both. And the SD can back up internal and vice versa. Data and Titanium backups go on SD, and a backup of the SD goes on Internal... either one conks out, no problemo.
Next... everyone giving up on removable battery, but this would make perfect flagship killer. A spare or extended battery instead of a charger is perfect at times, at others a combo battery n phone charger is.
A non removable battery can bring a multitasking phone to a standstill where nothing works, not even charging: try simultaneously charging, hotspotting or casting or streaming (+ obligatory wifi or BT and nfc or location on) as well as running browser or other app... Play Store and whatever else updating in the background...
 
For those on t-mobile, this is one of only 2 other models that can pick up all new bands n carrier upgrades - besides Note n V30.
 
oneplus has been consistence in delivering the value for money phone from the beginning itself and now they come with the all new oneplus 6 which is ultimate beast and a gaint killer in the segment with all good features,design and strong specifications.
