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

Actually scratch that, As above, FP scanner is slow, AND you have to wake the screen up before you can use the scanner which means two steps to unlock unlike other devices where simply placing a valid finger on the scanner with screen off unlocks and wakes the phone.

Camera is reportedly average as well compared to say a Samsung or Pixel.
 
The finger print sensor is a massive step backwards considering there was no reason to remove the capacitive sensor from the back. Would be nice to have a camera that rivals the flagships but we're talking about a phone that matches and or beats then in almost every other aspect but is £300 cheaper.

That's what I'm assuming. Looks like I'll be keeping the 2XL for the foreseeable!
 
It's now £500 for the base model and for what? A gimmicky inscreen fingerprint scanner, no headphone jack, and a still average camera. From a business POV I'm not sure how Oneplus see themselves anymore. They used to be the "compromise" smartphone where they'd cut out the gimmicky BS and deliver what matters for a genuine affordable price, but this just seems like they're forgetting what made them a great option. There's just no need for the 6t, and personally for that price, I think the Mi Mix 3 is much better.
 
The updates are a little disappointing. Other than the battery bump, you may aswell get a cheap 6 on import.

As FPS looks a little too slow compared to the Huawei one I'm using, and second cam sensor should have been a wide angle.

It's still a good phone for the rrp but then as Mr Mobile points out, older 2018 phone have dropped in price. But nothing offers the combination of software, speed and design. Tough one, im content with my Mate 20 Pro choice this year.

And still no earpiece media speaker!
 
Let's not forget it's an update to the 6, not a completely new model, and as for prices - I paid £439 for my 128GB 3T in November 2016, so the equivalent 128GB model is £529, £90 more isn't bad at all in my eyes.

Watching the linus review and he's unlocking the phone with the fingerprint sensor without waking the screen first.

 
Can't put my finger on why but I prefer the notch on the 6 over the 6T. Outside of the bigger battery it seems like getting a cheap 6 might be a better deal than going for the new one, camera is the same and headphones jack is still there. I was looking forward to move from 3T to 6T but I'm not so sure anymore.
 
Shame that OP have gone for all the gimmicky stuff that they think would be the star attraction. I always knew that the in screen fingerprint scanner would be disastrous. It was slow on the Vivo and Oppo phones and it is slow here.

OnePlus seemed to be all about innovation and value for money and that they were proud to listen to their customers. The OP6T is released little over 5 months after the OP6 which was already a very decent phone and in all fairness to OP they couldn't improve on the OP6 in such a short space of time. Maybe the OP6T should have been released instead of the OP6.

Having said that the device is an incremental update at best and for those who do not own the OP6 it is a decent option.

I for now will be keeping my Red OP6 and will look elsewhere for my next device Huawei Mate 20 range and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 are on my want list.

Yes he does. The always on display pops up when he taps the screen so the screen is already on. AOD also uses more battery.

Watching other videos the ambient display and scanner 'wakes' when the phone is lifted up. Yeah it might use a tiny bit of battery but the whole screen isn't on, only the pixels showing the date/time etc as it's an oled screen. Presumably the scanner green light is ready to read your finger too.

9:40 in.


I really don't see how the in-screen fps is ''disastrous' lol. It's secure as any other scanner, you get a tiny lower bezel, it's a fraction of a second slower, and you can't unlock the phone without picking it up or single tapping the screen. Oh, woe is me. :rolleyes::p

Personally I prefer front fingerprint scanners, not a fan of ones on the back, so to get a front one with small bezels this was the only way to do that. Good on OP for being one of the first to bring out this tech on a decently priced phone to boot. Apple/Google probably could have included this tech on their £1000+ phones, but they didn't - OnePlus did on a £500 phone. :cool:

If I upgrade in the next few months it will be a 6T without any doubt.
