Yes it has widevine L1, if you unlock the bootloader it drops to L3.

Nah, 99% sure it's Oct/Nov release.

As much I like shiny new phones etc etc I'll probably pass on the 6T and wait for either the next iteration or the iteration after that. Unless the 6T brings substantial changes ie a triple camera set up and bump up in battery capacity I'm fine with my red OP6 as it does what it needs to without any issue.

There will be something missing.....like a triple camera system non of which has OIS. Then the 7 will have triple with OIS. There's always something missing with OP.

With some fluff from OP about why leaving OIS out is the best possible decision they could have made

They've confirmed and in-display fingerprint scanner and all but confirmed a 17th October announcement/unveiling.

I don't see the point in upgrading from one OP phone to the next one, they're too small an increment. My 3T to the 6T seems about right, a 2 year cycle means you get a better camera, more RAM, better screen,
and so on.

What sort of lead time do we expect between announcement and delivery of the first phones?

The last 2 or 3 launchs have seen units in hands within a couple of weeks. They've been ready to order on launch day.

You could say that about any phone. Lack of OIS in the 5T was a problem, so the 6 is a definate upgrade. The upside down screen on the 5 and big bezels could have also been seen as a decent upgrade.

Well I'm in as long as it's not more than £550 and has a headphone jack (has that been confirmed?). Glad I faffed for too long about the OP6 and didn't buy it

The upside down screen on the OnePlus 5 killed it for me. Got a Pixel 2 XL, quite a few issues with it but I can't get over the camera :/

Yes good point. Though aren't they usually a little dearer?

my OP5 was the same price. pickup in store on launch day.

My 6 turned up today

Not had much chance to play with it, but so far, so good





Any suggestions on best / easiest way to transfer stuff from my OP1 ?
