ONEPLUS 6T
OnePlus has never been particularly daring when it comes to phone design and the 6T is the same metal and glass sandwich you see on 90% of premium smartphones. The most refreshing feature on the 6T is its small teardrop-shape notch, which allows for a smaller top bezel.
For the rst time, the 3.5mm headphone jack has been removed. With the headphone jack gone, OnePlus is now bundling a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adaptor, but surprisingly, no earphones.
The 6T is available in two colors, but they’re both shades of black; you’re really opting for either glossy or matte nishes. Unlike most of phones here though, the 6T has no IP rating and no wireless charging support.
The 6T has a 6.41-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2,340 x 1,080 pixels resolution (402ppi). It is bright, with excellent contrast and color, but for a display this big, it could really use a higher resolution. Compared to other big phones, there’s a noticeable drop in clarity.
Like the Mate 20 Pro, the 6T has an in-- display fingerprint scanner. The scanner works well, and is both fast and reliable. Despite OnePlus’ claims that this is the fastest in-display fingerprint scanner ever, I found it to be exactly the same as the one on the Mate 20 Pro.
On the rear, there’s a 16-megapixel main camera with OIS paired with a 20-megapixel depth sensor, which is a bit of a shame to have such a high resolution secondary camera used only for Portrait Mode depth information.
The OnePlus 6T is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with either 6GB or 8GB RAM. The 6GB RAM version comes with 128GB internal storage, while the 8GB RAM version has either 128 or 256GB storage.
The 6T has a fairly large 3,700mAh battery and supports fast charging through OnePlus’ own Dash Charge technology. Dash Charge is just as fast as QuickCharge, but also has built-in overheating protection. The disadvantage is that it requires both proprietary Dash Charge wall plug and Dash Charge USB-C cable.
