OnePlus 6T

A slick, clean, bloat-free experience for half the price of a top-end phone.

One of the latest models, showing a big jump in night photography and benchmark performance.

Mentioned as an example of a phone with an optical in-display scanner.

Lasted 6 hours 16 minutes, only just ahead of the iPhone, helped by a bigger battery than the 6.

Mentioned as charging slower than the Mi 9's wired charger.

Discussed as the base model whose price makes the McLaren and the newer OnePlus 7 look comparatively good value.

Surprised him with much faster charging than the Oppo, using the same technology.

Mentioned as the reference point for an optical in-display fingerprint scanner that the S10's ultrasonic one should beat.

Incredible value and a bit more battery, but a sidestep from the OnePlus 6 that he would have preferred to see with a better camera.

Used as the main benchmark; its fingerprint scanner is fast and its OxygenOS feels snappier than Xiaomi's MIUI.

Fast night capture and a sharp front camera, but blown-out highlights and blur let it down, though it is more affordable.

Very well optimised, lasting 6 hours 47 and keeping OnePlus's reputation for good battery life for its capacity.

Interesting to see built and torn down, but he is not sold on losing the headphone jack and the slower in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Arun only had a brief hands-on with the unreleased phone in a secret case, so he gave no verdict and teased a bigger video after launch.

Expects the unreleased 6T to be an exciting but still price-focused phone, likely with faster charging, better cameras and Android Pie, at around $549.

Excited for it as the successor to the OnePlus 6, which he calls pretty much the best value phone, expecting camera and charging gains.

Predicts a barely changed body with the focus on the camera, worth waiting for only if camera matters.
