Well, kinda. But I talk to everyone I know IRL (lol haven't used that expression much) and even our IT Producurement guys agree that phones are too big nowadays. I just don't see how every single guy in the world is not hugely annoyed by a 6" phone sticking out of his jeans pocket
Well, I've been annoyed about the size of phones since the OPO (which I've still got). If there was one single thing I'd want different it's the size. It's just cumbersome. No way around it.
Personally I think the OP software is awesome. I'd choose that over Samsung any day. No way would I want Samsung bloat.
It'll be an import presumably.

Is your OPO size OK? As the 6T is 5mm taller, so that shouldn't be a huge difference. If the OPO is still too big then I can't see phone sizes drastically reducing anytime soon. iPhone maybe?Well, kinda.

And 100% agree on the software, OxygenOS is awesome, just the right amount of customisation on stock android. Even though samsung's software has improved recently I still prefer vanilla android.
Heh no. When the OPO came out I just knew it was the best phone as that price point so jumped in. Although I love it (and 5 years later it's only just dying on me - which says a lot!) it's size has always bothered me. I always wanted to get something smaller
EDIT: I'm actually in the US from Thurs until next Thurs. Could I buy a US model?

Really impressed with the camera tbh, not quite as good as the Pixel or iPhone but much better than the Note 9. Just wish they didn't have the front FP sensor

How come folks are saying the FPS is slow? From the videos I've seen it looks pretty fast in use? Though I'm just 100% clear if it's usage fully unlocks the device outright or I have to wake it first and then use it.
Bit gutted about the lack of notification LED and the headphone port or I'd actually consider it over my S8+ (I just want Pie without having to wait an eternity).

It is slower than the capacitive scanners we're used to, but it's not slow by any means. 0.34 seconds, the OP6's fingerprint scanner was 0.2 seconds - both according to OnePlus.
As for unlocking, you have to have the ambient display on (or the full display), that's the time and date only along with the fingerprint light area, no other pixels illuminated, like this:
You activate this by either picking the phone up, or single tapping the screen. Both are toggleable in the menus.

Wow, the 6T does much better than I expected!

Does the 6T have an always on display?
Only raise to wake.

Damn shame, no light may mean a deal-breaker for me
Could always get a watch I suppose...

No wireless charging (yet...) as it's too slow.

Too slow? Have they not seen what Samsung have been doing for a few years now with 10W+ wireless charging? And now other Chinese manufacturers also jumping onboard the fast wireless charging wagon?

Ah cheers. Not sure I like the sound of an Always On display. I've always switched mine off on previous devices as I noticed battery life being impacted somewhat.It is slower than the capacitive scanners we're used to, but it's not slow by any means. 0.34 seconds, the OP6's fingerprint scanner was 0.2 seconds - both according to OnePlus.

Well, considering OnePlus's tagline is 'unlock the speed' and even the 10w wireless charging is much slower than fast charge (1hr 30m Vs 2hr 45m) then I'd say it's a good enough reason.
It's not an always on display. It's similar to the current OnePlus ambient display, it only lights up (the few pixels needed) when you pick up the phone. And of course you can such it off.
It not always on - just raise to wake.
Yep 10W is far too slow when your used to dash charge speeds. And while were here, Samsung's current wired fast charge should be classed as 'old ass' fast charge as by current standards it ain't great.
