Math is a thing, and we can't expect "something for nothing". OnePlus has put out an answer for a formula that has a bunch of variables, and it's a great answer if you place value on the variables they focused on. It's got the performance of last year's flagships. The best OS going. Good set of cameras. Good screen, fast charging and good looks and build quality. There's nothing on the market that beats it at that price point and with the dual SIM + 5G baked in, it's a good phone for travel and for the 3 years you're going to keep it. There's always going to be trade offs, but this phone does much more closely reflect the OnePlus brand thats become a budget Samsung to an extent lately. This is their best phone since the 7t in terms of what the market wants.

It's supreme marketing strategy from OnePlus..It's still overpriced and overhyped..Should have given 3.5mm headphone jack as its midrange phone from them.Also 2cameras waste

I think hyper-marketing is the main reason for lot of bashing this phone is receiving. The specs and design are decent for the price. With all the marketing and the videos released by OnePlus, people were expecting something different/unique not a rehashed Realme/Oppo phone.

OnePlus started hyping the device when it should have left it to users. For example, look at iPhone SE 2020. It gets mentioned in the comments of every article since its announcement. Some users are bashing it, some are praising it but the fact is it gets attention. And I think OnePlus has created enough brand appeal to expect such hype without forced marketing.

I had been a OnePlus fan since they released OnePlus 1. An incredible, incredible phone with awesome value for money. I was on love with this phone, so much so that I used it for 3 years and it was still awesome. Then I bought OnePlus 5, for 50% extra price compared to OnePlus, and I am still using it, happily. But I am disappointed with OnePlus's strategy of releasing phones twice a year, and increasing prices with every release. So, if you count, there will be two price hikes every year! They have started spending in stupid marketing, started signing Celebrities for advertisements, and have transferred the bill to us. They have started sounding like any other Tom Di*k Harry company, less keen on delivering a great product at a great price, but more on the Hype. Anybody can deliver great phone at huge price, but it takes great deal of effort to provide the same phone at a much lower price, like OnePlus 1. They are no longer Flagship Killer, No longer on the mantra of "Never Settled". They should change their tag line to "Settle Down and Cough-up" if you want our phones. I think OnePlus 5 will be my last OnePlus phone, and I am heart-broken to say goodbye to a company which had so much potential, but again fell prey to stupid strategy of doing what everybody else is doing - focus on how much money they can make by fooling people that they are the only ones doing great innovation and stupidly justifying the price tag. They never needed immense marketing budget - they would have made much more if they had taken into account their loyal fans(like me) and spent that marketing budget in bringing the cost down, while still providing a great device. This is how a company falls, and keep in mind, Nokia and HTC were marketing leader at one point, they also fell when they lost focus and failed to recognize on what differentiates them from the rest. OnePlus is going down the same road, ignoring their loyal fan base that they managed to make, and instead relying on marketing to propel them forward. Goodbye OnePlus, will miss you.

Feel happy for op Nord customers at the same time I feel really bad for op 8 customers.this was not fair honestly.those who purchased op8 will not be happy with this company's move

This is what happens when OnePlus settles.
We really need a phone of this price with similar specs and finish but with a trio of lenses. Nobody uses a macro lens, a Telephoto is what's needed, like a true flagship.

For 6GB, 64 GB price should be around 22K, Or at least for 25K with 6GB, should have 128GB. Absence of 3.5 mm jack is another point.
