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

[Shocky-FM]

Not having to deal with Samsung is enough reason to get the O6T over the Note 9/ S9 even if they are the same price.

Can't wait to get rid of my S7E.

Never tried the S7 so can't comment on that one, Galaxy S8 interface was fine though, quite happy with either, so long as Nova Launcher is installed.

Triple camera for 6T?

I hate this channel, he keeps on having "leaks" in his video titles and it always ends up being speculation. Don't use the word leak if it's not a leak, that's just click bait.

That lad absolutely does my head in, he has to be one of the most irritating people on youtube. Nothing but clickbait.

OP6 is available on the rainforest for pre-order, coming out 30th Oct, so there may be some deals once the 6T comes out or around black Friday.

 

[Peew971]

6T will be available at John Lewis, Carphone Warehouse, O2, Vodafone and EE.

Selling the 6's on pre order doesn't make sense at all. I wonder whats going on there.

I know, and the date is the day the 6T is being released...

So it is. I did think the pre-order for the 6 odd myself as mentioned above but I didn't notice the release date. Strange...

Sidenote, there's a Oneplus 6 on MusicMagpie eBay store for £3000 - bargain at that price

Even better news.

Totally not excited by that. Was it ever really that hard to get hold of their other phones?

id rather deal with JL customer services than O2! plus they price match and will have 2 JL warranty as standard.

It's good news for the company and for consumers that they are going to be in large retailers and on more networks. Apparently Oneplus are now the fourth biggest seller in the UK, but there are still loads of people who have never heard of them. My barber asked me what phone I had recently and said he'd never heard of the company, and none of my non-techie friends had heard of Oneplus either. I think outside of techie circles they still aren't very well known.

With the way Oneplus aggressively price their phones any increase in market share is good news for consumers. Eventually Google and Samsung will be forced to respond with reduced prices on their flagships, particularly if Oneplus can maintain low costs while introducing things like an OLED always-on display, a better camera, an IP rating, and wireless charging. Add some or all of those features to a Oneplus phone and price it at ~£600 and you're going to have people questioning why they're paying £150+ extra for competing devices.

Plus you've got the immediate benefits that lmfy2k mentioned.

Agreed, much less stressful experience if you're not happy with your purchase.

 

[Deluxe1]

I always recommend OP when asked and nearly all of the time people have never heard of them, usually they've just stuck with samsung for years.

That's true.

Yep. I've been doing that for the 5+ years I've had my OPO -- still going strong

You've had a OP for 5+ years? Wow! same battery?

I have had my original oneplus one since 2014 and still working really well, battery is still good and performance is fine, been recommending them for years as well. When I decide to replace it it will probably be a oneplus again

Will be getting a £50 John Lewis voucher through my ISP on October 30. What perfect timing, was thinking what could I use it for as I don't normally shop there. Can't wait to order the 6T!
