Free handset - 8gb 128gb model. 80gb 4g data and a monthly entertainment pass (opted for sky sports) for £26.50 per month (after auto cashback).
Absolute steal if you ask me!

Mines done something similar before.
Soldato
Yes. Mine did something like that this morning. Only difference being it was a thinner line so to speak but stayed in the one place - it looked as if a microwave or lightning bolt was passing through it. Very odd. Not seen it before or since.

Utterly pointless

I hear Alan Partridge has already ordered his.

It's all about publicity. A Mclaren phone with 10Gb!!
Happened once but I've had an update since and not seen it again.

I picked up one of these last week from Amazon Prime Now as it was a fiver off. Really impressed with the battery life, which is important to me as I have a long commute. I have a Galaxy S9 which is great but the battery life isn't good enough for me, and also an Essential PH-1 but the camera is awful on that so the 6T is pretty much the perfect phone for me. The only issue I have is that it won't pair with my Black Friday cheapo bluetooth headphones, which work on my other phone and Macbook, and the lack of 3.5mm jack.

I'm thinking of getting the Oneplus 6t; however could you have not just got a battery power bank for your S9?
Soldato
I did, but it's a pain if you are going out for the day without a bag and then need to carry one around, or forget to charge it. I can sell the S9 and cover most of the cost of the 6T, which I find to be a much better phone generally. The Samsung bloat sending constant notifications of updates of apps I don't want was also annoying. Oxygen OS is much cleaner, although probably sending all of my data to China.
Seriously, what do you people do to your phones? I have recently sold my S7 when I got the 6T and I was asked in all seriousness if it had ever been taken out of it's original packaging. No screen protector (this is the first time I've had a phone with one) but a case goes on straight out of the box, plus if carried in pocket or jacket that is the only item in there i.e. no keys, coins or anything else.

I don't really understand why it's such a big problem for others that some people prefer to use them, we can both have what we want at no cost to one another.

Personally screen protector always for me. It's just how I roll.

It's not a problem, the poster is simply amazed people can treat their phones so bad they need one

the camera performance is really killing it for me 
I miss my pixel 2 xl camera..
put that camera in 6t and It'd be the perfect phone!

Although I like the functions from Gcam more, in general I'm getting better detail from the newer Oneplus cameras.

Correct. But then I was raised in the 1950s where money and products were scarce. You had to mend and make do, so looking after what you owned was paramount. Everything we have is the same, products years and years old still look like they're waiting to be switched on or used for the first time.
I hate the thought of abusing/not looking after my possessions.
