OnePlus 6 review

08 June 2018
If the letter T is OnePlus' way of branding an interim half-generation upgrade, why isn't this latest one named the 5TT? Yes, we're talking about the OnePlus 6, and a quick look at the specs will tell you what we are on about. Still let's not dwell on what hasn't changed and focus instead on what has.

    After 5 years, the OP6 still outperforms many of today's devices. Awesome piece of technology. I'll upgrade some day, eventually, but for now I don't see a deal breaker reason to do so.

      despites the small battery, the life is pretty damn long. it's already 4 year and the battery healthiness only degrades for about ~15% (by accubattery), and it's still maintain 99% performance throttle while newer phones starting to fall into 50-70% when hot.

      the only suck thing is the android 11 update broke too much, and even battery usage due to screen bug. the only salvation is using stable custom roms (like LOS)

          Have used this phone for 4 years +1 month without any issues apart for a bug here and there. About to replace it to keep getting system and security updates and avoiding sudden death. Original battery still manages a days worth us medium use, the originally included bumper case managed to protect the screen from cracking from the many falls to the floor. The rear glass panel is a completely cracked, yet it still holds together. I am having trouble finding an alternative replacement outside of the OnePlus range, since the combination of Oxygen, fast charging and alert slider got me. Starting with a half priced Nord 2T compared to OP6 to see what a mid-range phone can deliver these days.

              I am using this phone for 3 years, no issues at all, one of the finest android I ever used, no hiccups, no slowness, battery life is still remarkable. But suddenly AT&T has announced 3G sunset by Feb'2022 and it says OnePlus 6 is not supported although it shows LTE and 4G compatible, Any idea ?

                  I have now used this phone for the past 3 years. Of all the phones I have used till now, this one has seldom become slow when the new version comes out. I have used several I-Phones and Androids. The one issue common among all of them are when the new generation comes out, invariably the previous version starts to slow down. May be it was just for me, but I have had other too complain about this. But not One Plus. The software is the biggest plus for this phone.
                  As regards other issues, I agree with all who have said below. The battery life is now an issue. I have been seriously contemplating of replacing the battery at the official service point. I dont mind spending some money for that as I am that much happy with the performance of the phone.

                    I've used OP6 for almost 3 years now, and honestly I'm quite satisfied and would recommend to people. It is of course not perfect, has its issues sometimes but not too often. My biggest complaint is on the cameras. But I think if you just need solid and reliable performance, OP is good value. Anyway, I'm only changing my phone because I dropped it many times and the screen finally cracked. Moving to other brands tho, because camera quality is a deal breaker for me. Until then, OP!

                      Otherwise I like its productivity and durability. Ah, the the back protection with the raised angles is very useful saving both the back and the screen. Sadly it hides the fancy glass back cover... better hidden but intact than exposed but scratched.
                      Thinking already about the 9 model

                        Been using my oneplus 6 now soon 3 years. Otherwise still good but the battery is just not good enough anymore, it was never good but now you have to charge it in the middle of the day if you have used the phone for an hour or so. It is also a tad too wide.
                        Shame that there are so few phones out with good battery, max 74 width but otherwise ok specs without screen all the way to the edge...

                          Tilak, 15 Feb 20191st problem, camera. 2nd, battery. 3rd, app restart. There ... moreI have none of these problems. I have to charge my Oneplus 6 only every second day. I do not play games, and I do not use my phone for many hours. Low akku capacity is not a painful thing because the charge is very fast.

                            I pre-ordered OnePlus 6 and been using since then. Use Spigen Armored casing and been dropping the phone many times but everything is still good. The only complaint I have with the phone is that always not able to detect my GPS. However, recent Android 10 update fixed that so everything is good now. As I have been using it for around 1.5 years. the battery life start to drop but with dash charge, that is not even a concern for me. Camera is good but of course u cant compare it to Samsung, or iPhone. System wise is smooth and just as I like it, do not have any branding app lock in it. Love the phone

                              I update my One Plus 6 before one week and after updation it is getting hang even taking lots of time to get unlock and if I talk abt its overall performance this was worth update and I think before updation its was very fast. After two updation screen recorder is also not installed by OnePlus.
                              If anyone have any idea to eliminate this problem then plz suggest me.

Wherever I tell them about the app restart problem, they push it to app or ask me to clear cache. They have never tried to understand my problem report. Finally they asked me to visit the support center. When I visited them, they can't fully understand the problem either. I feel orphaned and abandoned.
                                        My Moto G4+ is the best.
