OnePlus 6T

Not to put you on the spot, does Sprint will disappear by the time 5G is out and under Tmobile umbrella?

Sprint will probably still be around to some extent until 2021-2022. Even if the merger is approved, it takes years before all customers can be brought under the T-Mobile banner. So no, it's unlikely Sprint will be gone during the 1st or 2nd year of full 5G use.

Apparently OnePlus themselves have confirmed in-display FPS. It looks like all the predictions are coming true.

The 6T could also launch Oct 17th, right when the Pixel 3's would be coming out:

I'm curious to see how reliable an in-display FPS is, and the speed of it. Could be slow in the early days. I prefer the FPS on the back vs any other form of biometric security to this point, so it'll have to be really reliable and reasonably fast for me to jump on board with the idea. Are we sure of the security of it? It's easy to say it's actually registering deep data of a fingerprint, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that it's using a less secure form of registering.

I have a gut feeling that if Apple unveils a second-gen of Face ID that is vastly improved, this push to go with an in-display FPS sensor could fall by the wayside, at least at the top-tier.

Impressive if that’s actually what it is and stays in the $500 range

While that's certainly close to what it will look like, that's a sketchy preorder site and those were concept renderings that leaked out last week iirc. Definitely saw those renderings before today.

In screen fingerprint reader doesn’t do anything for me. I get it that it’s new technology, but I’m perfectly fine with Face ID or a fingerprint sensor on the rear.

Still love my finger print scanner on the front so that’s familiar to me. Probably why it’s more intriguing to me. Get to keep it in the same spot but get all the screen real estate

On the front is so much more convenient, especially in a flip case or on a charger, laying on a desk, on your lap, a mount in your car...........

For me, the 6t would be a MUST buy if it had a 4000mah battery. Details on that are hard to find, but I’m sure it’ll be much less than that.

I thought I heard or saw either 3300 or 3500mah? Can’t remember where though?

The Oppo it’s based on is around that, so that’s what I was thinking. 4000 would be extreme compared to the regular 6.

Very nice. May have to jump ship to another carrier.

This could be the phone that draws me back into Android.

It’s a hell of a deal.

 

[nviz22]

Much better value deal than the iPhone, but I am not ready for the type of compromises OP requires.

What kind of compromises? My OP3 was a hell of a phone.

Buy a OP 6t and an apple sticker off eBay for it and place on back of device and compromises solved

That would be the best iPhone has ever built!

Cameras, sketchy company practices making your info vulnerable, messed up bootloaders at launch, no full fledged water resistance, and you won’t get Apple level product support.

 

[tonybarnaby]

It’s been confirmed the 6T will not have a headphone jack.

The cameras seem to be really good after an update to the one plus 6. Good as in comparable to iPhone X, pixel 2. The other stuff I can't comment on.

Thats disappointing. Was looking forward to using a phone with a headphone Jack again. Source?

Check the oneplus reddit. Someone interviewed Carl from oneplus who confirmed it. He said battery life will be noticably better, though.

 

[Cryates]

That's a disappointment. Does that leave Samsung as the last holdout?

LG is known as the go-to for headphone audio. Their hifi dac has to be heard to be believed.
