OnePlus 6T

[c0ppo]

For me, neither one of those things matter. I have my Galaxy Watch for haptic feedback on notifications and I don't care about speakers on a phone. But for the price, I think these are 2 tradeoffs people can live with.

Well I bought every oneplus phone so far. But I always hated lousy vibration motor, and no dual speakers, because I tend to use those two very often. My phone is almost always in silent mode, and I love watching youtube on my phone. I don't use smartwatches

But of course, we all have our preferences. And despite that, OnePlus has by far the best android build out there. Even better then stock Android. IMHO of course. And that is the primary reason I love OnePlus phones so much.

Isn't the ip rating, or lack of, due more to them not paying for the rating to keep the device cheaper?
It might actually be water resistant maybe?
I heard it would add $30 per device to have the rating added.

It would appear so. There are a lot of test on youtube, like this one:

Glad they got rid of the headphone jack...market needs to encourage more development of practical/quality wireless earbuds to compete with the Airpods.

Their OnePlus Wireless Bullets are great. But Airpods remain the only Apple product that I own, since they fit my ears like they were custom built for me. I had Bullets as well, better sound and louder, but not comfortable for me as Airpods, so I gave them away.

Something to keep in mind for those wishing to take advantage of the tmobile deal. It appears the tmobile model will be single sim only and the updates will run through tmobile.

I saw that. almost a deal breaker for the T-Mobile variant as that's one of my favorite features from recent OP phones. As a T-Mobile user, there's several times a year when we travel that it's nice to have a back up sim (usually FreedomPop AT&T) for the times I don't have T-Mobile data. So I'd rather just order directly from OP. But I realize, at least in the US, those of us that would use dual sim is a very slim minority.

Dual sim is a must have for me in my next phone since I just got a work phone and don't want to carry two devices.

Regime changed no doubt. Over thousand dollars 'big boys', OP cost only 60% and 90% features. The revolution has started.

I'll be pre-ordering from One+ on Thursday morning at 8am PST. Dual-sim and not locked to a carrier is a must for me. (I'll be using both my Verizon and T-Mobile sims in this phone). Plus, I want the Android updates long before T-Mobile can certify them and send them out to T-Mobile bought phones.

This gives me hope for the future.

This phone is so tempting, but I’m paranoid about the amount of data China mines from these phones and the past shenanigans of OnePlus.

Played with the 6T. Options include a built in a blacked out theme (like substratum). No root required here though.
Sim tray is just blocked for the second sim on the t-mobile variant. Not sure if it’s also software blocked.
Screen is bright and vibrant.
Haptic engine is only slightly less intense compared to my iPhone X. People had said that the One+ haptic hardware was anemic.
Phone feels better in the hand than my iPhone. I’m really liking it.

How is the screen compare to your X? Are you seeing that piss yellow white in the one plus 6t?

Very cool! Looks like that is the fingerprint edition (mirror black).

I’ll have to recheck. It didn’t seem yellow, but I’ll have to double check

yeah, it was the mirror black version.

If anything the 6T looks whiter than the iPhone X. I put both phones at full brightness.

 

[drinkingtea]

How does it run in comparison to your X?

There is it.......Apple really trying their best to ruin these OLED screen with their "piss yellow warm screen"

 

[nospleen]

Anyone have an idea of antenna performance compared to the Pixel 2/3?

Well, my Order is in from One+. Midnight black and 8gb/128gb version. Used my student code and referral discount to get 2 cases for free, plus priority shipping. Still only spent $588! Love One+!

How did you get student code and referral to work on the same order? It only lets you select one voucher per order.

Is True Tone or nightmode turn on your X? It sure looks like it.

Actually looks cooler (more blue) than the iPhone. Not sure either of them are true white.

Both vouchers were in my account and used at checkout. Got 5% off the phone and $20 off for the 2 cases. Not sure if the 10% for the accessories was applied?

I would agree with that assessment

I really can’t stand the Stock Pie gesture/bar interface.

The OnePlus 6 gestures are much better. Bugs me when reviewers don’t use it.
