When we reviewed the OnePlus 6, we said, “The OnePlus 6 is built for speed from the ground up. The smartphone has the history of being a flagship killer, but despite the top-of-the-class hardware, the compromises in OnePlus phones have also remained consistent, so much so, that it now acts as a deterrent to buy this over an expensive flagship. The OnePlus 6 is still just as fast, even more beautiful, but has the same flaws as last time.”
OnePlus also recently announced its first Student Ambassador Program in India. Those selected for the program will get to be a part of, and contribute to the company’s live projects. Students will not only be provided with resources to support local initiatives in their respective institutions, they will also get an opportunity to intern at the company’s global offices.
