OnePlus 6T review

29 October 2018
You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to uphold the staples of smartphone design and be different, not join the madness. You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness. Joking aside, we might as well get a couple of things out of the way straight off the bat - Yes, the OnePlus 6T has a notch and no, it no longer has a 3.5mm audio jack.

      How is this phone an upgrade over the OnePlus 6 ?

        I really don't want a screen protector preinstalled. The glass surface on today's phones provides all the protection one should need. 1+ should have included the screen protector in the box and not already on the phone.

          Great value. Too tall. Don't need it.

            Soooooo . . . .

            Glass phone for no particular reason. No headphone jack as a big FU to customers who voted for it in a OnePlus poll.

            Yeah, they've definitely arrived. Ignore your users and slavishly copy Apple.

                Nice device, but nothing you can´t have at huawei and xiaomi for less. With a couple of omissions still present, not a flagship yet.

                  No micro sd card??? Again?!

                    never liked oneplus at all. First no removable battery. No micro-sd, no fm radio, proprietary solutions, now no audio jack. They keep on leaving out features

                            -one good camera is all you need,ask google or apple ;)
                            -ingres protection or better said “idiot protection” only rise the price,not make the phone better for normal ppl
                            -Maybe Dash is proprietary,but is light year ahead of competitive or better said qualcomm solutions which only heat up the battery.On the other hand lack of wirreles charging is not a big con when you had the best wirred charging around.
                            -Lot of manufacturers for years now didnt have a microSD slot,1+ had never had in the first place... stop complaining,take it as it is or leave -(same for stereo speakers)!
                            -3.5mm headphone jack... I will give this to you,big ommision
                            -Apple clone?!? Its 2018en everyone copyed from anyone,no originality anymore and this aplies to apple too!
                            -oh and almost forget.you can choose aluminium back for a change... one less glass to break
                            Cheers

                              The screen max brightness is 200nits lower than the other amoleds (iphone XS and samsung S9). Almost -30% !
                              Im surprised it does not make it (significantly) less legible outside

                                This is most likely the worst OnePlus device ever made.

                                And by that I mean has the absolute lowest value compared to its ancestors.

                                It's not that this can't be called "flagship killer". This can't even be called flagship by fall 2018 standards.

                                - mediocre screen brightness + 1080p only resolution.
                                - paasable camera experience at best (not even close to real flagships)
                                - very poor audio features (no stereo speakers, no 3.5 jack)
                                - nothing interesting whatsoever (no water resistance / no wireless charging / no expandable storage / no infrared face scanner).

                                I mean come on, even the Poco F1 has more features and costs almsot half the price.

                                Tu summarize in one word this device is "settling" !

                                  If it grew sideways, you could not hold the phone :)

                                    Very cool device, nothing wrong, some nice specs and design. Only problem: Pocophone F1, it is almost half the price for about the same performance and not that much difference on other things.
