It is no surprise that the bottom and the top position’s of this list are occupied by Chinese Companies. OnePlus has been delivering some great phones over the years since the release of OnePlus One. For a fraction of the price, you are offered a flagship device that can make smartphone giants such as Samsung and HTC think over where they could cut costs and deliver a better product. Breaking all the conventional barriers and hurdles, here is the OnePlus’s latest offering OnePlus 6.

The OnePlus 6 is a great phone, with great features and has beefy specs to show up in the performance department. This phone also happens to be the fastest Android device on the planet while not costing a Kidney or two as a matter of fact. I really have nothing to say about this phone, cos this phone is probably the best bang for the back or also known as Value For Money Smartphone.
