having a moment as the
smartphone market
matures: decent-quality
screens, chipsets and camera lenses
are getting cheaper all the time,
which means you can get a lot more
for your money, and it’s becoming
harder and harder to justify spending
four-figure sums on top-end
flagships. If you can buy a phone
that’s almost as fast and takes photos

flagships aren’t going anywhere
(and we might see another before the
year is out), OnePlus is joining
Google, Apple and Samsung in
jumping into the competitive
mid-range market too.
