Review on Renewed OnePlus 6T A6013 Dual Sim 128GB/8GB (Mirror Black), Factory Unlocked for GSM Networks Only: No CDMA. by Kio West ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

Switched to OnePlus 6T with Xiaomi Mi5. I am very pleased with the device, because. I knew about all its pluses and minuses in advance. The first thing I liked was the build quality and design. The device in the hand feels expensive, there is no feeling of secondary and cheap Chinese. The screen is also very good. Actually, because of this, I decided to upgrade, because with + - the same size of a smartphone, you get a much larger screen. The area of ​​the front side of the smartphone is used to the maximum, and the waterdrop notch is not annoying, it is also possible to hide it programmatically. Image quality and brightness are not satisfactory. Speed ​​and performance are also great. The Oxygen OS shell obviously speeds up many processes and does not load the system. Oneplus comes pre-installed with only 2 applications that can be safely removed and installed later from the Play Market if necessary. With autonomy, everything is in order. 3700 mAh + AMOLED display + top-end hardware together give good energy efficiency. In addition, you can install a dark theme on your smartphone and in applications that support it. Face unlock works instantly. From the outside it may seem that there is no blocking at all. BUT in the dark, the smartphone does not recognize you. OnePlus has added an option to the settings where, during unlocking, the screen brightness is turned up to the maximum (for a split second) and the smartphone recognizes you - not much pleasant. The fingerprint scanner under the screen for someone, of course, will cause a "WOW" effect, but not for long. It's just convenient when it's in front, especially for drivers. BUT it works slower than conventional scanners. From a technical point of view, the camera is fine, but the built-in camera app is not very good. Fortunately, you can install a camera from Google without any dancing with a tambourine and getting root - this is done in 2 clicks, and everything will be in order. I thought that I would not use the sound mode switch, and it is not needed at all, but, as it turned out, it is a convenient thing. OnePlus 6T can be safely recommended to anyone who wants a top-end smart phone without overpaying for the brand.

Pros
  • 1. Value for money 2. Screen 3. Design Addition: after the release of 1 + 6T, they released a bunch of devices with the same design (BBK itself also had a hand in it) and the location of the scanner, it is very successful in terms of screen / cutout ratio. So the 6T is a little drowned in this monotony. 4. Case materials and build quality 5. Moisture-splash protection (but without certification) Addition: on vacation I was with a phone in the sea and at waist-deep waterfalls. I didn’t dip it anywhere, but it survived the salt spray from the waves and the high moisture at the waterfalls without consequences. 6. Performance and speed 7. Autonomy 8. There are no OnePlus pre-installed apps that can't be uninstalled 9. Instant face unlock 10. The presence of a physical switch for sound and ringing modes (silent, vibrating, with sound) 11. The presence of a fingerprint scanner on the front side (under the display)
Cons
  • 1. Lack of an SD card slot. 2. Lack of 3.5 mm jack. 3. No notification indicator. 4. Camera application from the manufacturer (treated by installing a camera from Google) Addition: the standard camera application has been slightly finished, but Gcam is still relevant for shots in the dark and Bokeh. 5. Lack of normal Always On Display (AOD) 6. The lack of the ability to configure autorun applications and disable unnecessary services (you need to get Root rights) that collect information and eat charge (facebook, google, etc.) Addition: 7. In the sun, the maximum brightness of the screen is not enough. This is especially inconvenient when you shoot when the sun is behind you (this is how you need to shoot).
