OnePlus 6T review: Blurring lines between midrange and premium smartphones
Chinese smartphone manufacturer
OnePlus has in the past few years emerged as one of the most successful
premium mobile phone brands. Known for its flagship devices with
top-of-the-line specifications at competitive pricing, the smartphone maker
seems to have lived up to the name with the recent launch of the OnePlus 6T.
A successor to the OnePlus 6 (review), launched earlier this year, the T-edition has
got several upgrades. Most of the newer changes – a higher battery capacity, a
new screen format and an in-display fingerprint sensor – are useful. However,
the phone might have cut corners on a few flagship features, such as ingress
protection (IP) rating for water and dust resistance, stereo speakers, HDR
display and wireless charging. The OnePlus 6T has also done away with the 3.5mm
audio output jack which might not go well with users accustomed to wired
headsets.
Design
The OnePlus
6T might look almost identical to its predecessor, but it has a bigger
screen, no fingerprint sensor on the back, and no 3.5mm audio jack at the
bottom. These three are the most noticeable differences between the OnePlus 6
and OnePlus 6T. Though the latter has a bigger 6.4-inch screen – compared with
the predecessor’s 6.28-inch – the dimension and overall form factor change is
incremental, thanks to the new format display stretching from edge to edge,
leaving no bezels except a thin one at the bottom chin. The removal of the
fingerprint sensor from the back for an in-display fingerprint sensor makes the
back uniform. The bottom, without a 3.5 audio jack, now has five-holes grilles
on either side of the USB type-C data transfer, charging and audio output port.
