**** The Official OnePlus 6 Thread ****

[Faustus]

Some really good reviews of the OP6 on YouTube. I'm quite tempted when I get rid of my current S7, my reasoning being what real world features I am missing - none really and for the money I don't see how you can go wrong with this phone.

Mind you it will be a cash sale, none of that contract nonsense, as that turns a decent priced phone into an expensive one.

It's pretty safe and easy to do. I'll link a guide with plenty of info, but I'll copy this part out to warn you as unlocking the bootloader is part of the process. So make sure you back up anything you want to keep first.

I followed this and it worked fine for me:

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll do that soon then.

I'm getting 6 hours SOT with my phone now. Pretty happy with that.

I've VPN'd to Germany and downloading it now.

Got the OnePlus 6 red yesterday after having an s8 since it's release

Main things I've noticed so far
-Build quality is just as good
-Screen isn't as bright on auto and not as nice in general but to be expected.
-Dash charge is ridiculously fast
-Sound from audio jack not as good, seems flatter overall on same ear phones
-I found the s8 sluggish at times and I don't remember it ever being as responsive as the oneplus currently is
-Camera seems great so far especially being able to take portrait photos but I've not tested it much
-Battery life is noticeably better but early days
- Face unlock is very good, and I'll miss a phone without it being so instant even in low light

So basically I'm very happy so far and can live with some of the disadvantages where they have cut corners. Well worth the money especially once I sell s8.

You can also use the oxygen updater app (not an official oneplus app) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater&hl=en_GB

After using it to grab the update for you go to Settings, choose System Updates, then pick Settings Icon/cog in the top right, select Local Upgrade and click on the newest version.

Um, stupid question. With regards to the referral thingy -- if I use someone's code does that mean I get £20 off accessories?

 

[biron_w]

Yes you should get £20 off.

anyone know if the silk white is ever coming back into stock?

I'm pretty sure it was a limited edition. I may be wrong though.

 

[glenimp617]

I think you might be right. They need to remove the listing from the website as it's like dangling a carrot.

What's the deal with grey imports?

 

[Scam]

Do we think the price might drop a bit because of the MWC in the US next month and all the announcements/new products? Do OP have a history of dropping the prices before Christmas and/or they bring out the 6T?

 

[glenimp617]

No, I don't think they ever reduce the price. They simply go out of stock.

 

[Scam]

Then I've got no excuse to wait to order one!

Rumours are that there won't be a T version this year.

 

[Sp00n]

I thought the 6T was somewhat confirmed by an OP forum moderator: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/closed-one-plus-6.875716/#post-18914431

Of course a 6T will be released, cant see it being much of an upgrade though. Maybe just wireless charging, stereo speakers etc minor upgrades.

Yeah me too. Those are the only things missing from the OP6 and the upgrades are usually pretty logical.

That would be a pretty decent upgrade these days though to be fair.

 

[Rimsy]

Does the OnePlus 6 have Facebook baked into the ROM (like Samsung/LG/HTC etc)?
