Hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the OnePlus 6T I've been
using it for the past few weeks on and off and I have to say overall it's been
a positive experience so I wanted to go over the good and the bad about this
phone now the first thing you need to know is this is the 128 gigabyte model
with 8 gigabytes of RAM it comes in at about five hundred and seventy nine
dollars so it's a pretty good value for what you get is for storage and RAM and
then this is the mirror black version and it's a fingerprint magnet but I
think it looks really good there's also a mid midnight black that's a flat black
but the mirror black looks really good and let's talk about the first good
thing and the first good thing are the specs so for that five hundred and
seventy nine dollars you've got the eight gigs of ram like I said 128
gigabytes of non-expandable storage and the Snapdragon 845 so it's a really fast
high-end spec phone and the next positive is the design this is a very
premium built phone it does not feel like something that is now well 579 it's
not exactly inexpensive but compared to say a note 9 or an iPhone or a pixel all
the build quality this is probably at the top of those it's really up there it
doesn't creak it doesn't have anything that feels loose all the all the display
corners or or the edges feel smooth even with the screen protector on here it's
smooth and around the back everything's just nice and smooth there's no there's
no hard edges or or sharp edges it's really well put together you've got this
design with USB see here you only get one speaker though and we'll talk more
about that later and then we have the design you've got this little switch
here that I think they need to incorporate on every Android phone to
silence the phone and put it in silent mode here you can see vibrate or silent
that should be on every Android phone it's just super convenient and a nice
way to manage all of that and it's glass on the back glass on the front and metal
all the way around so it's really nice there and then you've got your volume
button on this side and your SIM tray slot here so depending on the country
you're in this will also be a dual SIM card slot this is a t-mobile phone so it
doesn't have that in the next positive is the display now they have this little
notch here let me change this so you can see it more clearly with a different
wallpaper so let me pick one of the standard wallpapers here now I've
applied a different stock wallpaper and you can see the knotch and this notch is
a nice teardrop and then you have almost all display the bottom part here is is
smaller and then this display is a six point four one inch
optic AMOLED display it's 1080 by twenty three forty with 402 pixels per inch
now when you compare it with other really high-end displays it doesn't look
as good but it's incredibly close it looks much better better than last
year's pixel to Excel and it's close to the iPhones and the notes in the pixel
3xl in in fact most people aren't going to notice the difference but there is a
slight bluish tint to it I've noticed but that isn't that big of a deal and
most people won't even notice that now the next good thing is the camera the
cameras on the back are 16 plus 20 megapixel oh is or optically image
stabilized cameras with night capture now I tested out the night capture
against the pixel 3xl and against the iPhone 10s max just to see what this was
capable of at night without a flash of course you could use a flash but let's
take a look at those now this is using the night mode of the OnePlus 6T and
you'll see it's really grainy it's not the greatest photo at all and it does
pick up more light than the iPhone XS Max that we see here but it is more
noisy as well so while you can't see a whole lot here when we switch over to
the Pixel 3 XL you can see a lot more however there is a lot of noise and in
the pictures just grainy overall now the OnePlus 6T and the Pixel 3 XL you can
see there's a big difference or both kind of noisy but the Pixel 3 XL is a
little bit better you can see the camera does okay at night it's not like the
Pixel 3 XL but you could use a flash but overall it's pretty good I wouldn't
say this is the best camera on the market I would give that to the Pixel 3
XL the iPhones and the notes those are kind of up there this is just under that
in most things now it's really going to depend on if you're really pixel peeping
and things like that overall though your to be very pleased with the images
coming off of this sensor with video as well in fact the OnePlus One was one of
my favorite video cameras at the time and this one's pretty decent as well
now the camera app itself is nice of course you've got portrait mode you can
see here it locks on your face it does a good job and then if we spin the camera
around you've got your different modes as well photo video of course portrait
and it's really a pretty nice camera I'm very impressed with it especially at
this price now the next positive thing is the battery 3,700 milliamp hours of
battery so it's a very large battery it will get you through a day no problem at
the end of the day you'll probably have a charge left maybe you'll be able to do
what day and a half it just depends on how you use the phone regularly if
you're a very heavy user you'll probably get through the day and then of course
you've got the fast charging which they used to call - charging in about 30
minutes you'll get another full charge so if you've got that charger in there
plug it in through USB C and you're good to go now the next positive thing or
good thing is oxygen OS now this is running on android 9 pi with oxygen OS
and i've got the button setup just like Android 9 and it's super smooth this is
the smoothest Android phone I think on the market right now at least that I've
tested normally I would give that to the pixel line of phones but in this case I
give it to the one plus 60 I'm not sure what they've done here to optimize it
I'm not sure if it has to do with the RAM and everything else but I have yet
to see this hiccup switching back and forth going loading a webpage so you
just refresh that it's just super smooth going between whatever you're doing
going back home going into the camera loading an app going back out there's
not really anything you're going to do to slow this down at all now the next
thing I want to mention is in a new category that's good and bad now this is
the good and the bad but this is sort of in between I would say it's a positive
because I really like what OnePlus is doing really kind of innovative and they
seem like a hungry company towards whatever is new and I appreciate that
with their fingerprint reader but this can also be a little bit slow at time so
right there you saw it was fast and there it was a little bit slower we wake
it up you'll see it's fast again depending on I'll do that again see it
won't respond there we go and it wakes it up
sometimes I'll put my finger on here and I'll wait a couple seconds and then it
will unlock or I can tap and let off weight and then it unlocks it's kind of
strange and it is a newer technology and I'm not against this I like this
technology but I do miss it on the back being super fast one plus is known for
fast fingerprint readers this one just isn't as fast but if you if you really
prize that being on the front of the phone especially if it's on a desk
you've got it here you want to unlock that's definitely more convenient than
having it on the back so that's why I say it's good and that it's a little bit
slower it's mostly good so let's move on to the bad now OnePlus is all about
never subtle being the flagship killer well this is one area where you kind of
have to settle and that has to do with the headphone jack they removed the
headphone jack to make way for the sensor or the camera that does the
fingerprint sensor and because they did that they literally have no room inside
here now maybe they could have fit it I'm not a phone engineer but maybe they
could have fitted in here somewhere however with their model of never settle
it's kind of settling a little bit so I can live without it there's enough
phones without without the headphone jack now the iPhones the pixels
everything except for Samsung or some of the more inexpensive Android phones I
value the headphone jack this one doesn't have it anywhere on the phone
and so that's the first bad thing the next bad thing is no stereo speakers I'm
really used to stereo speakers on iPhones and the pixel foam I really like
that and you don't have that here you do have it out at the bottom it's nice and
loud it's clear and of course you can use headphones and their headphones are
pretty inexpensive and some of the best out there for their price but it's it's
just one speaker and if you're used to those dual speakers that's an area where
you're gonna have to compromise a little bit it's not awful but it's something
noticeable the next thing is it does not have an IP rating now OnePlus
specifically says with improved water and dust resistance our latest flagship
can follow you wherever you you go just don't take it for a swim
so they're saying it's more water resistant than before but you shouldn't
swim with it and that's pretty true of just about any IP rated
however it's not officially IP rated and I'm assuming they didn't do that because
you have to pay for it I think if it will withstand splashes maybe the
occasional puddle drop then you'll be okay other than that though I wouldn't
count on it for being safe if it gets submerged for any period of time the
final negative or bad thing there's no wireless charging now this
has a glass back they could have put wireless charging here I would think I
would think you could fit it in there it's a pretty small coil but they
decided not to do that now you do have that huge battery to make up for that
and the super fast charging but without the wireless charging it's one thing you
just don't get that you can get with some other phones such as Samsung's or
the new pixel phones but this is a really nice phone there's not a whole
lot negative about it and for the price they're very reasonable compromises the
lack of that headphone jack is probably my biggest complaint being that they've
always said let's have a headphone jack and not settle so in this case they've
they kind of changed that a little bit but overall this is an amazingly great
phone for its value and I think most people that pick one of these up would
be really happy about it and hard to find and be hard to find anything wrong
with it especially the smoothness you'll definitely appreciate how fast this
thing is all the time it's just unlike any other Android phone I've seen or
used in this in this range or any range really it's just that smooth let me know
