OnePlus is the brand that outshined its smartphones in front of a so called Samsung and Apple era. The promising brand is back again with a sensational smartphone - The OnePlus 6T. The partnership of OnePlus and the famous US carrier T-mobile has led to a hike in the price of OnePlus Series. But is this smartphone worth buying ?
WHATS NEW ?
The OnePlus 6 successor , The OnePlus 6T astonishingly comes with the same processor and camera performance , which I personally would suggest a down sight for a device that is supposed to be called a successor of a successful smartphone like the OnePlus 6. However, the concept of in display fingerprint sensor and a smaller water drop notch may attract buyers.
ONEPLUS 6T DESIGN
The OnePlus 6T shares the same feel of design like its predecessor. The standard notch has been replaced with a pleasing waterdrop notch for the front camera.
However, this notch design comes with the abscence of the popular multi-colour notification LED that's been a OnePlus trademark till now leading to many critics.The screen is slightly larger than that of the OnePlus 6, at 6.41 inches compared to 6.2 inches before. As usual , this phone also comes with a pre-applied screen protector. That brings us to biggest new feature of the OnePlus 6T — its in-display fingerprint sensor.
The base variant will be available only in Mirror Black and the top-end one will only be available in Midnight Black at the time of launch. You'll have both options if you choose the middle variant. Silk White appears to have been dropped from the launch lineup. Given the company's history, we fully expect additional colours or special editions to be released over the lifetime of this device. In addition to the loss of the notification LED, there's no 3.5mm audio jack.
ONEPLUS 6T SPECIFICATIONS
The OnePlus 6T comes with the same octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor running at up to 2.8GHz with integrated Adreno 630 graphics. The base variant now has 128GB of storage with 6GB of RAM, the next step up gets you 8GB of RAM with no increase in storage, and the top-end variant has the same 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage.
The increase in screen size is mainly along the vertical axis, taking the resolution up from 1080x2280 to 1080x2340. Less of that area is now impinged upon by the notch, but you can still mask it with black bands on either side if you like. Battery capacity is also up, from 3300mAh to 3700mAh. That's always good, but it comes at the cost of a slight weight increase from 177g to 185g. The OnePlus 6T shows the same connectivity, with dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5 with aptX and aptX HD, NFC, GPS, and GLONASS, and LTE with VoLTE and carrier aggregation (though more 4G bands are now supported). The sensors include a hall sensor, gyroscope, e-compass, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.
There's Gorilla Glass 6 for physical protection, but OnePlus doesn't claim any dust- or water-resistance rating. One very minor niggle is that you get only USB 2.0 transfer speed through the Type-C port. Another long-running OnePlus quirk is its refusal to offer a microSD card slot, though with a minimum of 128GB onboard, this might not be a problem anymore.
OnePlus now refers to its Dash Charge feature simply as Fast Charge, thanks to the legal disputes over the name. The charger still has the Dash Charge logo on it and it's just as bulky as it has been for a few generations now.
The OnePlus 6T will ship with Android Pie 9.0 underpinning OnePlus's OxygenOS 9 UI. The security patch at the time of reviewing was the November 2018 release. OnePlus is very proud of the many customisations that go into OxygenOS, including the five screen calibration modes, reading mode, gesture shortcuts, UI customisation options, and performance tweaks. There are systemwide Android navigation gestures if you want to completely free up all screen real estate, or you can have Google's stock Android-style swipeable Home button if you prefer. More tweaks and improvements such as UI animations are promised for future updates.
The Ambient Display screen shows a clock, a custom message if you want one, and your notifications. Other features include Parallel Apps to run two instances of some apps, a blue light filter called Night Mode, and your choice of themes and accent colours. There's an App Locker setting that lets you protect any app with a PIN, and a seemingly redundant Hidden Space within the app drawer itself that lets you tuck some app icons out of sight – but only as long as people don't know this feature exists.
The improved Gaming mode now allows incoming messages to appear unobtrusively so as not to disrupt games. As before, you can prioritise network bandwidth and system resources to make games run better, while suppressing interruptions. There's also a new Smart Boost feature that keeps apps permanently in the phone's RAM so they load quicker than they would from storage. This is currently an early implementation and only works for games. It's on by default and you can turn if off from within the OnePlus Labs section of the Settings app, but there are no other controls and you can't decide which apps to boost, for now at least, so it's hard to tell how effective it is.
ONEPLUS 6T PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE
General performance is pretty much what we'd expect from a flagship-class phone with a Snapdragon 845 processor. Apps and games loaded very quickly and we never had any cause for complaint with day-to-day usage. The back of this phone did get fairly warm when charging quickly and when using the camera, but not enough for it to become uncomfortable to hold.
I am sure everyone is most curious about the in-display fingerprint sensor. In short, it's not as good as a standard one. It is amusing to use for a while but it is not fast as the company claims. You can notice a certain amount of pause before the phone unlocks while is at times frustrating. There's still face recognition though, and it works quite well. It is extremely sensitive and passed all my tests. The mono speaker is quite loud and clear but still can be improved in my opinion.
Battery life is pretty strong thanks to the proper optimization of the OxygenOS. Constant heavy usage like PUBG gaming and 4k video recording make the battery last upto 4 hours and normal to light usage will easily make throughout the day with a single charge. Dash Charge, or as it's now called, Fast Charge, is still a tremendously valuable feature — in just ten minutes, we were able to get from zero to 17 percent, and that went all the way up to 65 percent in 40 minutes.
ONEPLUS 6T CAMERAS
OnePlus says that the camera software has been tweaked, but the most notable new feature, called Night mode, is coming to the OnePlus 6 as well. In this mode, the camera takes up to 10 frames in two seconds, and combines them to control noise and maximise the quality of the resulting image. The processing is supposed to take just a couple of additional moments but i found myself waiting for 8-10 seconds sometimes. Night Mode made very little actual difference to shots taken at night in various degrees of darkness. In some cases, distant objects were more distinct. In others, noise and grain were reduced, but it took a keen eye to spot the differences, and that too only at 100 percent on a big screen.
Photo quality in the daytime was very impressive. The OnePlus 6T even did a decent job when we were shooting directly into the sun. HDR is set to automatic by default but you can override this. There's barely any shutter lag, and everything works smoothly.
Taking about modes , you get a fairly comprehensive Pro mode with a live histogram, bokeh shape filters, time lapse mode, panorama mode, and slow-motion video at up to 240fps at 720p. Video recording goes up to 4K at 30fps or 60fps, though you're limited to ten minutes or five minutes of recording at a stretch respectively.

WHO SHOULD BUY ONEPLUS 6T ?
If you recently thought of buying your first OnePlus device , then Oneplus 6T will prove its worth. Its performance will satisfy you and this phone will easily last next 5 years.
WHO SHOULD NOT BUY ONEPLUS 6T ?
If you already own a OnePlus 6 or OnePlus 5T user than you should not buy this phone. The processor and the camera is similar and the updates will be delieverd to your device soon. Also, the in display fingerprint sensor may be attractive but you will miss the 3.5 mm jack and notification LED. Also , if you are a person on a tight budget , I would rather suggest you to buy Poco F1 or Honor Play rather than OnePlus 6T because of much similar specifications.
