OnePlus 6T - They Almost Nailed It #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin oneplus has been

making some of my favorite phones for

quite a while traditionally you get a

great combination of good specs and

flagship level features at a price they

can be hundreds of dollars less than the

competition that is where the oneplus

sixty comes in it's definitely a good

phone but it does not revolutionize the

formula if you're familiar with the

oneplus six then you know the basics of

the 60 inside you'll find that same

Snapdragon 8045 which has been in almost

every major flagship of this year and

that is paired with either six or eight

gigs of RAM and 128 or 256 gigs of

storage this is as good as it gets right

now but it is no longer a unique selling

point previously oneplus is worth some

of the cheapest phones with the high-end

specs such as the Snapdragon 835 or 845

but nowadays you can pick up a poco

phone f1 that is going to be several

hundred dollars cheaper than even the

oneplus and it has that same spec it's

good it's great to have in a phone like

this but it is no longer some huge

revolutionary feature it's just kind of

what everyone expects at this point one

of the most noticeable changes is the

knotch it is significantly smaller than

now I pretty much anything else out

right now but it is right alongside the

essential phone which over a year later

actually still has one of these smallest

notches that we've ever seen if we take

a quick trip from garbage town up the

road to notch city we'll find an

interesting evolution of one-plus phones

over the last couple years so they won't

plus-5 was the last phone with the

full-size bezels which were

significantly shrunk down on the 1 + 5 t

come to the 1 + 6 and the notch is in

full effect which thankfully is a lot

smaller on the 1 + 16 it's also a very

slightly larger display at 6.4 inches as

opposed to 6.3 and that applies to the

entire 1 + 60 it's a little bit thicker

it's a little bit taller and it's a

little bit wider and it is definitely on

the the larger side of smartphones the

display itself is a nice looking olan in

fact not only is it fairly bright but it

is one of the most accurate OLED panels

we've tried right up there with the

iPhone 10s you'll also find something

pretty rare and in display fingerprint

sensor you know I'll go on are the days

of having a fingerprint sensor on the

back or on the home button instead it's

actually inside the glass it properly

works too so this little green icon

right here if I put my thumb on it it

will immediately scan my fingerprint now

to be fair this is not a perfect setup

it does seem to be a little bit slower

than a traditional fingerprint sensor I

did notice that it is a little bit more

prone to being slowed down or tripped up

if you have any kind of dirt or dust on

the screen but generally speaking it

does work

well there is a face unlock option but

unlike something more sophisticated like

the IR cameras on the iPhone as well as

the Oppo find X business Ted relies on

just the front-facing camera its quick

its reasonably accurate but it is

nowhere near secure to me is just using

that fingerprint sensor inside you will

find an upgraded battery before we had a

3300 milliamp hours so whereas this year

we've gone out to 3700 milliamp hours

now I haven't spent enough time to

really give it a full run-through but

based on at least early impressions it's

pretty easy to make it through a full

day of use with the 16 unsurprisingly

oneplus is stuck with their very stock

looking oxygen OS software which is

based on the latest version of Android

9pi now the good thing is you have a lot

of nice small customizations it doesn't

totally overhaul the look for example

the alert slider we all know and love is

still here to allow you to easily mute

the phone I really don't understand why

lots and lots of other people having to

stolen this it's just super useful what

you won't find is a significantly

improved camera no it is slightly better

so it's mostly in the processing and the

software side specifically with portrait

mode it's a little bit better at cutting

things out of the background and there

is an improved night shot mode which

will get you a little bit of better

low-light performance but generally

speaking this is decent but nowhere near

as good as the pixels and the galaxies

of the world the speaker sounds decent

but importantly it's just that a single

speaker

it's 2018 and basically all other

flagships have switched over to a stereo

setup which not only sounds a lot better

but importantly isn't easily covered I

mean all these do you really put a

single finger over the speaker and it

totally closed the volume personally I

wouldn't mind a bigger notch if I meant

that I did get those stereo speakers

audio quality on a phone is really

important to me speaking of the oneplus

sixty finally drops the headphone jack

now this isn't exactly a huge surprise

but it is they downgrade over the one

plus six to be fair you do get a USBC

headphone dongle on the box and the

battery is slightly larger because of

this but uh

rest in peace sweet Jack we also still

don't have any official water resistance

now you would think that by removing the

headphone jack that would make it a

little bit easier to water seal this guy

up but nope it's still completely not

okay to put this near even a single drop

of water or else your warranty stickers

will go screaming in agony speaking of

what we do still have a glass back the

16 still completely omits any kind of

wireless charging this is a

weird choice usually when you go from

metal the glass when the main reasons is

to get you a little bit of an easier

target for stuff like say I don't know

wireless charging something again is on

almost all 2018 flagships and yet it is

nowhere to be found on the 1 plus 16 the

1 plus 60 is a terrific phone and yet

it's not really much of an upgrade over

the 1 plus 6 in a world where the Google

pixel 3 is a true flagship it's really

hard to call this a flagship killer it's

a great mid-range phone but that's ok
