We tested the 8GB RAM/128GB storage model, but
all versions will give practically the same performance.
You only need 8GB RAM if you intend to indulge in
high level gaming or absolutely cane your phone
all day long with tens of demanding apps.
The OnePlus 6T benchmarks using Geekbench
(CPU), GFXBench (GPU) and JetStream (browser)
are more telling of phone tech in general than the
6T itself. The scores are virtually identical to the
OnePlus 6 as well as the other Android phones we
chose to compare with similar specs.
You won’t notice a difference in performance
in anything you do or view on the OnePlus 6T
compared to other current top end phones.
You view everything on the phone through a
vibrant 6.41in OLED display, though its resolution is
cappedat1080p.OtherphonessuchastheSamsung
GalaxyS9andPixel3 XLhavemorepixel‑dense
1440p screens, but most people won’t notice the
difference and will appreciate the money saved by
opting for the 6T. It’s still a higher resolution than
the more expensive iPhone XR.
The 6T’s screen has a tiny notch at the top that
proves very unobtrusive and is physically the smallest
notch we’ve yet used on a phone. The payoff is a
large screen with attractively slim bezels.
