It has a smaller 6.55-inch display of 90Hz fresh rate, a big 4,300mAh battery with support for fast charging, Snapdragon 865, plus an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a triple-lens camera, and up to 12GB of RAM. Though not that impressive as the OnePlus 8 Pro, it’s a decent 5G phone with the price starting from $699.
