ISSUE 66 • ANDROID ADVISOR 81BUYING GUIDE3, and we love the 6T for it. It doesn’t have wireless
charging, proper waterproofing or a headphone jack,
but the software is truly outstanding for Android
enthusiasts and novices alike.
The customization options are easy to get used
to and the OnePlus 6T is one of the most pleasingly
individualistic phones you can buy at the moment
because of this. Additions like granular controls for
gaming mode that stops notifications and locks
brightness are the sort of thoughtful changes to
Android that we approve of – there if you need them,
but completely out of the way and silent if you don’t.
Verdict
The6Tis thebestOnePlusphoneyetalongwiththe
now‑defunct OnePlus 6. It’s the first OnePlus phone
without a headphone jack, but it is also the one with
the best battery life, speaker, display and cameras.
Compared to the rest of the market thecheapest
modelis stillverycompetitiveandthisis a no‑
brainer purchase if you are looking to buy outright.
Performance is as fast as the Pixel 3 and the flavour of
Android is one we might even prefer to Google’s own.
If you really want a headphone jack, waterproofing
and wireless charging you’ll look elsewhere, but we
are able to look past all three omissions and can
recommendtheOnePlus6Ttoanyonelookingfora
well‑priced, flagship Android phone. Henry Burrell
