OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition review

17 December 2018
OnePlus announced a long-term partnership with high-performance British carmaker McLaren and the first device to come from this relationship is the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. As a "Salute to Speed" - which is the tagline for this product - the McLaren Edition brings 10GB of RAM with an already fast and powerful Snapdragon 845 CPU.

10 gigs, 12 gigs....nothing but height of gimmicks at present.
Sad.

      Lyndino, 18 Dec 2018Don't forget Huawei lying to it's customers.How many times exactly? Remember it's marketing. companies will do almost everything in the boundary of what's allowed to praise their products.

          Worst single core than 6T with 10 gig of ram! I’m not a fan of mate 20 Pro, but mate 20 Pro gpu score 303K (performance mode enables) and your charts shows 279K! Don’t know if Huawei cheating with performance mode on.

            I would agree, a set of "McLaren" earbuds would have made it a sell out.

              These companies are running out of ideas to get us to open up our wallets.

                  Walter C. Dornez, 18 Dec 2018Most others would disagree.I know, and I know they probably wont change as we're all keyboard warriors all around the globe with our own opinions.
                  I know what I know based off experience, not numbers put down on the screen.

                            Whatever it is it just works for me.

                              This would be a no-brainer if it wasn't for the lack of wireless charging

                                Kangal, 18 Dec 2018To be honest, its not worth it.

Whereas OnePlus holds good value even after 2 years...due to Software Updates I think. Though I like Samsung mobiles, Oneplus simplicity and providing good specs for price is really cool

                                  Pros
                                  -Speed Orange looks great
                                  -Premium packaging and unboxing experience
                                  -OnePlus' debut of Warp Charge 30

                                  Cons
                                  -Not drastic difference over vanilla 6T
                                  -Minimal McLaren exclusivities in the software
                                  -Still no IP rating or wireless charging, or headphones in box
                                  -No 3.5mm jack as STANDARD (PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE)
                                  -No microsd slot as STANDARD (PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE). Sure, storage is decent, but can't OnePlus put this as a CHOICE?? It's ALREADY ALMOST 5 years since the inception of OnePlus first smartphone (except OnePlus X).
                                  -Overpriced for the specs

                                  Okay, done :)

                                    true. the note 7's fiasco was horrid. but they learnt their mistake. BECAUSE OF ONE mistake you should banish consumers from a company?
                                    How about LG's bootloop history? and Apple's many gates? why not banish these two as well? companies. like humans. adapt and learn. there's no "sudden death" case for a company unless it did something SO DISASTROUS AND STILL didn't learn it's lesson. (note 8 and note 9 didn't explode on a massive scale.)

                                      "Still no IP rating" I don't buy new mobile without IP68.

                                        Yeah, it will be obsolete few months later when the OnePlus 7 is out. Very short product cycle is too annoying to be honest.
