What the Experts Are Saying?

shot of the OnePlus N6x standing upright on a desk in front of a red background

The OnePlus N6x delivers all the essentials of a budget smartphone. The build quality is sturdy, and the 120 Hz display coupled with OxygenOS keeps the daily experience smooth. Its battery can comfortably push into a second day without needing you to hunt for a charger. While the cameras shine in daylight photos, the Camera app does need some optimisations. Overall, it remains a good pick if you want a phone for basic daily needs but also prioritise extended battery life.

Pros

  • Solid build quality and premium finish
  • Strong battery endurance
  • Smooth 120 Hz screen
  • Main camera captures natural-looking daylight shots
  • Decent performance for the price

Cons

  • Slow charging speed
  • Selfie photos are average at best
  • Camera app frequently freezes
