OnePlus are by far the most underrated brand of mid-top range phones. The generous battery life, as well as the high refresh rate, are just some of the reasons why I love these phones. The OnePlus standard means you get a powerful charger (With the plug!) and a case included. They even manage to fit a headphone jack in most phones, which is a rarity nowadays.

This tremendous deal of a phone can’t be overlooked. The AMOLED display will guarantee you with crisp and clear images.

The fact that this phone is capable of shooting 4K@60fps, at this price point, is a feat of its own.
