The OnePlus 6T is an upgrade to the OnePlus 6 but doesn’t necessarily supplant it. The bigger battery and water drop notch are added perks, but there are bound to be users who’d rather have the audio jack and more consistent capacitive fingerprint sensor. Besides, the software enhancements of OnePlus 6T will be eventually passed on to the OnePlus 6.
We will need to spend more time with the phone to judge how much of an impact these changes have on user experience. But yes, it’s quite clear the OnePlus 6T will be extremely tough to beat. There simply aren’t many alternatives that come close.
The OnePlus 6T retains the same camera hardware as the 6. There is 16MP selfie camera up front and a 16MP + 20MP camera combination on the rear.
The face unlock is fast, reliable and convenient, if not as secure as Apple’s Face ID.
The in-display fingerprint sensor appears to be similar to the one we experienced on the Vivo V11 Pro, but we will need to keep using it for a bit more to have a clearer idea. It’s still clearly slower and less consistent than the fingerprint sensor on the back, which makes us wonder if this transition will be smooth for OnePlus fans.
