TERRIFIC BATTERY LIFE Some midpriced models deliver 40-plus hours per charge. This $400 OnePlus 8T logged 23.5 in our labs, enough to last a full day.
POWERFUL CAMERAS Modestly priced phones can have premium features like the four cameras (wideand ultrawide-angle, zoom, and monochrome) on the back of the OnePlus 8T.
BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS A few lower-priced models have state-of-the-art OLED screens. Many of the rest feature LCD screens that score well with CR testers.
HIGH-TECH SECURITY The OnePlus 8T lets you unlock it via fingerprint sensor. Some midpriced models use facial recognition.
DUAL SIM CARDS With this phone’s two cards, you can have two numbers ring on the same device— one for personal calls and one for work.
