ONEPLUS 6 VS PIXEL 2
The smartphone season of 2018 continues in earnest with the release of the OnePlus 6, which is providing some extremely impressive specs for a comparatively low entry price. This phone looks like it could be the undisputed king of the mid-range options.
We're comparing it against the Pixel 2, which was one of the best options for budding photographers at the end of last year. With its beautifully designed software making it a dream to use it’s a serious consideration when looking at a new handset too.

The OnePlus 6 will set you back £469 for the 6GB/64GB model, £519 for the 8GB/64GB and £569 8GB/128GB version. While these prices are slighty more expensive than the previous OnePlus 5T, they are are substantially more affordable than other rivals like the iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy S9 that offer a similar level of hardware. The colour of your phone will denote your received specs, with a midnight black version offering 256GB of storage space.
The Pixel 2 retails at £629 for the 64GB model and £729 for the 128GB version, and comes in a variety of colours including Clearly White, Just Black and Kinda Blue.
The OnePlus 6 certainly has the edge on price here while also being the more modern phone, and so seems to offer more bang for its buck. The Pixel 2 certainly has some standout features however, so we’ll see how they compare as we move through.
ONEPLUS 6 VS PIXEL 2: DESIGN
The design battle is always a subjective affair but in this case we’re pretty sure the vote is going to be unanimous.
The OnePlus 6 looks great. It’s a continuation of the same design style seen in previous OnePlus models such as the 5T. The model is made entirely from glass (Gorilla 5) with a metal border around the side giving the phone a very modern look.
There are a couple of different finishes to choose from here including Midnight Black which provides that classic OnePlus look. Mirror Black gives a very professional look, and is heavily polished which adds to the glass and steel aesthetic.
The OnePlus features two cameras and a fingerprint sensor in the back
