I fully understand that people like different things, and variety is good. But the OnePlus 7T is one of the few devices that makes me wonder why anyone would buy anything else.

There are five reasons I can think of why someone wouldn't want the OnePlus 7T:

1. They're iPhone users who like iPhones and the Apple ecosystem.

2. They want wireless charging and/or an official "IP" water-resistance rating.

3. They want a smaller phone with a smaller screen.

4. They like to spend more money than they need to.

5. They don't know the OnePlus 7T exists.

Anyone looking for the best bang for their buck with minimal compromise, there's absolutely no doubt that the OnePlus 7T is the top choice in smartphones, at least Android phones.

And if any iPhone user out there wants to dip their toes into Android, the OnePlus 7T is an ideal device to start with, even more so than Google's own Pixel phones. With the OnePlus 7T, you're really getting the best of Android, and you're risking $300 less than most other premium Androids.

It's up to you if wireless charging or an official water-resistance rating is worth the extra $300 you'd spend on a phone that has those features. I'll use wireless charging on a phone that has it, sure. But personally, I truly don't care about those things when the core of this phone is so good.
