OnePlus 6T 8 GB RAM 128 GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Thunder Purple (2 Year Manufacturer Warranty) – United Kingdom

Right so I bought this for my mum. She used to have a Samsung. It was good. She did not want to get an iPhone like I suggested. She found them more challenging to use. So I had to find a Samsung. But I had been following the rise of One Plus. The design of this phone is spectacular. The tear drop camera is so cool. The only feature which I can’t rave about is the onscreen finger print scanner. It is slow and most hard to use. I understand the gimmick and points it earns. But not as useful. The screen is huge. The design is amazing. The battery life is brilliant. Last at least one and half days. I was just over all blown away. The biggest benefit is my finds the phone easier to use then the Samsung interface. Which is a great benefit. Because I have heard of the easiness of the oxygen OS. But it’s so good. Especially for my doesn’t find IOS easy, I struggle with Samsung’s interface. But I must admit, there is something about the speediness and smooth access to the apps is appealing. It’s probably one the first phones to steer me away from IPhones. I currently have an IPhone X. I am an Apple fan boy, I do have all Apple products but I can say this phone has opened up my view on Android. The colour we have is the purplish. It’s nice and distinct. They even provide you with a free case. In truth I ordered a case with a card holder just to make the transition easier. But overall it is a great phone and love it.

I'm the kind of person who buys a phone every four or so years and expects it to last, I usually look for something that's both of a high quality and sturdy above all else. I have now been using this phone for long enough to say that it has been exactly what I was searching for. In fact, for its price compared to other flagship android phones, this has been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made. It's still very fast, the battery still lasts more than a day of quite consistent usage and I've never managed to fill up all 120+ GBs of storage. I've been using it as a communication device, music player, e-reader at times and even film player for when I'm on a journey or away from home. Lastly, while I'm usually only focused on the practical details of a phone, I have to say, this violet purple colour and just the visual aesthetic of the phone has been too beautiful not to note. I don't think I've ever had or seen a phone that's so eye catching and wonderful to look at, to this day I still receive comments about it from people. For the price, One Plus has proven to me that they're the best phone to go for on the market if what you want is a flagship with the same quality and reliability for a far more manageable price.

Excellent phone. Brilliant speed and super quality pictures. User interface is easy and just simply the best phone for a good price. The only minor down side is the touch is a bit slow, need to press down on it a few times. I had an iPhone before, glad I moved over to android as I have the freedom to do anything.

This is my first One Plus device and I absolutely love it. I've owned a pixel before this and it had so many issues including 2 RMAs needing to be done and the battery life just went to sh*t. I finally gave in and bought the One Plus 6T because of the small and beautiful teardrop notch which is the main reason why I wanted this phone. The display is 1080p display at 401ppi which is a little lower than my pixel but still is an amazing 1080p amoled display espeically for the price. I personally like this better than my pixel display and the pixel at the time was £700!. The in display fingerprint sensor is okay at best and isn't as fast as traditional fingerprint sensors but does the job perfectly for me. And I've had no issues and never felt fed up with it but personally a separate sensor would have been better like the One Plus 6. Performance on this device is just amazing. The snapdragon 845 just flies though what I need it to do and to be honest, my usage isn't really heavy consisting of Youtube, Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat which can easily be done with any SoC on the market right now. However, the battery life on this thing is just amazing. I can easily nearly squeeze 2 days out of this thing with high accuracy location on, adaptive brightness and Bluetooth for my earphones. I average around 6 - 7 hours SOT which is really good for me as my pixel never even reached that SOT before even when I first got it. The pixel never got higher than 4 while this phone I managed to get 9 hours! But I normally don't get that much now so 6 to 7 is what I normally get. Oxygen OS is a blessing which is way better than Stock android in my opinion. Stock android recently has been lacking and Google have just really been taking away useful features and adding in useless one. Oxygen OS has the features I believe are useful such as 3 finger screenshot gesture which I now rely on and also the navigation gestures which just feel so natural to use; giving you more screen compared to the traditional navbar. Oxygen OS dark mode is the best dark mode I've seen and Google need to honestly take notes. A true black theme in amoled phones is what I want and OOS manage to implement it perfectly. However, I'm also rooted so substratum themes are what I've used to theme apps such as Instagram. But honestly, if it wasn't for that, I don't think I'd need to root due to OOS having everything I need without being bloated. I don't feel the need to install a custom rom anymore just because of how perfect OOS for me and I hope OnePlus continue with it. Camera is really this phones weakest point but quite frankly it holds up really well. Using stock camera app, the shots are good but not as good as my original pixel in my opinion and certainly not as good as the pixel 3 or the iphone xs but using a modded version of Google camera on the one plus 6t brings googles amazing HDR to this phone and does wonders to selfie shots and normal pictures I've taken. However, this app isn't something I'd rely on and not everyone would want to install a modded app just to get a better picture. But from my usage, this phone provides a good camera for the price but don't expect it to beat out the pixel 3 or iPhone xs. Sound quality is good and is pretty loud for a mono speaker. There have also been mods to use the earpiece speaker as a normal speaker to make a stereo sound but I don't think it'll be good in the long run but haven't really tried to see. But without the mod, it is still really good but its mono which kind of sucks but what do you expect for this price. Also the lack of a headphone jack is also a bummer and the adapter they give is really flimsy but still does the job. Build quality of this phone is amazing. One plus did an amazing job and espeically for a 529 pound phone. This doesn't feel like it cost that much. Really impressed with solid it feels. It also looks great too. The midnight purple colour that I've got looks amazing with the purple gradient. Overall, a must recommend end phone. A small notch as well as a smaller chin compared to the 6, fast 845 SoC by qualcomm and a really nice amoled 1080p display. Yeah you can get the poco phone f1 for 300 or 400 with similar specs but it lacks the sexiness of this phone also the screen is an ips display not an oled like one on the one plus 6t. You're also lacking the amazing Oxygen OS on the poco phone F1. But honestly, this phone is amazing for the price and one plus did an amazing job. Definitely recommended

I love Samsung, and have been with them for years but have been feeling a little fed up with the battery life on my phone recently. A friend recomended that I check out the OnePlus range and I was looking at the Oneplus 6. Then a good deal came up on Black Friday so I got the 6T instead. This is a really easy phone to use, and there are little things that they have done that make you feel more valued as a customer. What I was really surprised to find is that it comes with a bumper case in the box, so you do not need to buy one unless you want to. There is no aux input, but they include a UCB-C-Aux cable for you in case you need it as well. I have had no issue with setting this up and connecting to other devices via bluetooth etc. The screen is really clear and I am impressed by camera capabilities. Also the battery is lasting much more than my Samsung, and even after a full day of usage, I still had 30% left at bedtime. Really pleased I switched and would recommend that any other Android users do the same :)

With flagship prices ballooning upwards, it's difficult to overstate what a fantastic deal the OnePlus 6T is. -Performance is outstanding. Navigating between apps is a delight thanks to its breathtaking speed and fluid animations. I feel like this advantage can be unjustly overlooked when comparing phones. This is somewhere the 6T really shines. -OxygenOS helps out here. It adds just enough customisation without bogging down the experience. I particularly like the navigation gestures, which essentially copies what Apple has been doing since the iPhone X; it's very intuitive. Moreover, you can install downloadable icon packs without requiring a third-party launcher, and also experiment with different colours on your settings. -For the vast majority, the sweet-spot for storage these days seems to be 128GB. OnePlus now kindly starts out at that figure, so we no longer have to fret between picking a cheaper 64GB model or paying more for a generous 128GB version. -The OLED display is gorgeous. It's supposedly not class-leading, but I struggle to notice that. Instead, I'm continually impressed by it. -The camera is very capable. If camera performance were of utmost importance for you, there are better options out there, but the 6T should suffice for most of us. -Battery life is fantastic with the 3700mAh unit. No concerns getting through an entire day with heavy usage. The charging system is shockingly fast as well. The 6T really does blow away its rivals across these two factors. -The phone conveniently comes with a screen protector pre-applied. A translucent gel case is also bundled in, so you needn't make an additional purchase to preserve its shiny newness. -There's no headphone jack, but there's an included adapter which securely connects your headphones with the USB-C port. There are no stereo speakers here either, but the single speaker offers sufficient clarity for everyday use. -The in-display fingerprint sensor takes a fraction longer than a purpose built one, but I much prefer having the sensor on the front than the back, so it's a fair trade-off. It's also very reliable once you learn exactly how you should be placing your finger. -If we must have a notch, this futuristic-looking "dewdrop" one is certainly more pleasing to the eye than the more common rectangular cut-out. In summary, what this phone does is focus on the things that truly matter to the average consumer. The experience is streamlined and the phone is quite simply a pleasure to use. But most important of all, knowing that flagships are now approaching and crossing £1,000, you're left satisfied that you got yourself an excellent deal.

I've had the phone for a week now and very happy with my choice. I have moved from my beloved Lumia 950XL and can honestly say am not disappointed. I haven't taken many pictures but the ones I have seen on a par with the 950XL. I will update this post if my opinion changes. The phone came with a screen saver attached and a gel case as well as changer and adapter for headphones. The in screen fingerprint reader is handy and quick...ignore the naysayers. Loving the thunder's colour!

I think the software is fantastic and the features are Brilliant. The hardware (except screen) is fantastic at this price point. Sadly I had rotten luck and the device i ordered developed a screen fault as did its replacement. The screen would simply flicker and be dull even on mac brightness. I doubt even working ones would be bright enough in bright sun light as others have also mentioned.
