BUYING GUIDE

Even using the phone to hotspot a laptop for most

of a day didn’t run the battery down and we went to

bed on about 20 percent. It’s a notable improvement

that we personally don’t mind swapping for no

headphone jack (there, we said it).

Software

OnePlus’s OxygenOS skin over Android 9 Pie is very

accomplished and probably our favourite Android

version along with Google’s on the Pixel 3.

Our review unit arrived with OxygenOS 9.0,

but immediately pushed us an update to 9.0.3 that

improved screen unlock, added navigation gestures

and fixed some bugs. We like how the 6T lets you

use Google’s new Pie navigation system, OnePlus’s

own swipe gestures (which we prefer) or switch

back to the traditional Android navigation buttons.

This is customization you can’t get even on a Pixel
