Are they? 6T to me is a mistake, on-screen fingerprint, that's slower, less responsive to get rid of the headphone?

6T is not a mistake. The on-screen fingerprint might be slightly slower than hardware sensor but it's not significant enough to make a real world difference. This leads to a significant increase in usable screen real estate. The battery is also much bigger than 6 and the notch is a aesthetic upgrade despite it still being a notch. You also have to realize that this is a T series, not a number series, it's not supposed to be a big difference from the previous model, yet the 6T is a decent upgrade imo.
I think is worse....no jack.

Agreed, no positive changes. It's the exact same hardware, same camera, same screen, same glass. The differences are negative, the screen fingerprint is slower and placed in a awkward place, back of the phone is more convenient and tactile feel of the hardware, can do blind. No headphone jack so you can have an inferior oddly placed fingerprint reader? That's just dumb.
Anyway, are they making the OnePlus 6 still? Been checking every day, nothing in stock.

Interesting. That's actually a good news for us, op6 owners, if someone decides to upgrade for something else the price for op6 will stay high up on Swappa. Just saying, I like my op6 8/256GB, it's a great phone but sometimes I'd get the 'butterflies' looking at the new devices 'n stuff they offer. Well, it's a crazy circle of infinity...

I prefer the OP6 myself and yes they are still in supply. Just ordered one for myself but have to wait up to 14 days but worth the wait for £399
The 6t has no headphone jack, slower fingerprint, and no led notification. The lack of LED is the biggest problem for me.
The battery is only 12% different, so I went with the 6
TL;DR:
I went with the OP6 over the junk known as the 6t. Have you seen the display issue the 6t users are having?
Edit: The OP6 is on sale for "cyber" week flash sale.

Long version:
I came from the LG v20 and before that the v10.. In terms of the hardware the v30 and v40 didn't have a removable battery and lower system ram, and No LED... I really missed the LED on my phone and using the zerolemon extended battery on my phone I had to rely on third party software to tell me if the phone stopped pulling power from the USB port. Now no phone has removable batteries.. BUT companies are battery cases for phones, so we will see how the internal battery can go before I have to replace it. The irony is that the 6t is a downgrade from the 6.... Finger prints are easy to pull from glass so no I don't want an in display finger print reader... Besides I came from the v20/V10 I liked the rear placement of the sensor. The missing headphone jack on the 6t... NO I don't want to carry a useless dongle that doesn't even split to allow charging via usb. I settled on the OP6 I couldn't be happier with my choice.. Ideally i want my cell phone around 5.5" with the thickness of a deck of cards with the battery capacity to match. I figure smart phones could have 150,000 MAH battery at that size. The battery saver function on the OP6 is impressive it allows me to access most apps with barely any issues, there's a delay with gmail, but a manual refresh solves that.

Really? 150,000mAh that's 150Ah, my car has 65Ah battery. You would probably need 2-3 days to charge it up with USB powered wireless pad.

I did my mental math wrong... NO surprise there... I meant 15000mAh... My note 3 has a 10000mAh zerolemon battery and that takes 8 hours to fully charge via usb... Wireless chargers (WC) are too slow at charging and with USB C port on phones WC is NOT really needed in my book. Plus the more times you charge a battery the faster it wears out. I want a minimum of seven days of battery life under heavy usage.. The whole point of a cell phone is to be mobile.
Seems no more are being made. I just went from S7 g930F to the 6 8gb version. So far I'm impressed. I could not go with T for same reasons outlined. No 3.5 nor led kills it. Was going to go for pixel 3 but the savings with the 6 were compelling.
Anyway, the 6 is a pretty great phone!

Alright. Just like what happens with many smartphones, third party sources have started releasing batteries with a little more juice than the Original LG Batteries of 2800mAh. I have to admit it, i was kind of counting on it because it happens a lot of time. But how reliable could they be? Would NFC work with them? Will it make our phone explode? From 2800mAh to 3250mAh is 450 more juice to drain. Has someone tested it? I've posted the link and a couple of pictures.

Can you please also try the NFC feature if you have another phone with NFC capability? And also, whether the SOT improves or if it remains the same. and finally, in comparison to the other battery, how long does the phone last , based on your average usage (say: wifi on/off, usual brightness or auto brightness, etc. ) Let us know.

I have tested for two day and although I haven't gotten any numbers to prove it...the battery works great. It does last longer with the same usage...but I wouldn't say that the difference is huge but it does have a little more endurance. I'd say that if you are looking for an extra battery...this is not a bad choice especially just to keep as a spare. Everything works fine as well.
Also...it may take a few cycles to get the battery calibrated...my first discharge I was disappointed because it dad extremely fast but after letting it run down and charging it a few times it seems to last a little longer than stock. I'll leave the battery in for a while and if I get time to collect screen on before I charge it I will.

I think one would see a real difference if it had 900mah ane up more than usual. I was kind of expecting for that though. Hahaha. But i have the feeling they will release an eveb bigger one. Something like 4000mAh+ but you have provided us with great detail. Thank you. If you have the SOT in the future feel free to provide if
I doubt we will see anything much larger in the same size. Batteries have limited capacity/cm3, and LG, being one of the best and largest battery manufacturer, maxed out on that value. The problem here is the physical size of the battery cell...

They managed to do that by replacing the back cover with their own "case", including an extra-size cell. The G5's different battery removal mechanics make it a lot less viable option, especially adding the bottom module (which houses not just the USB connector, but speakers, microphone, and some antennas) as a cost.
My original comment was directed at the allegedly 3200/3250mAh cells popping up for 5-10$ a piece. There's a reason why official LG cells are 25$, and these after-market ones cost less than half of that. Sure, LG needs to cover the development costs, but I'm pretty sure the after-market ones are so cheap mainly because of corner cutting. And that comes with extended hazard. But if you feel like ruining your 600$+ phone because you went cheap and paid 10$ instead of 25$ for a battery... It's your call.

They could create a module similar to the Cam+ that has an 'extra' battery in it. Maybe slimmer but further up the case.

Check out this thread I did for the Sensation (ages ago). It's not relevant to this phone, other than to say that you'll recognize some of the labels:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753726
The TLDR: Actual mAh was was tested reliably (external discharge, outside of the phone) and batteries with the same label style as the two linked in the OP actually had roughly 30% and 50% of their stated capacity, and much less than stock.
I've got a G5 coming this week. I wouldn't be against doing another thread like the one I did in 2012 on the Sensation, if there's demand.
I have this one coming, so i will let you all know what i find. There seems to be mixed reviews, and even my Stock Battery had to be calibrated up/down charge for 3-5 times before i had good life.

The mixed reviews are in part my fault. I'm one of the reviewers with that battery and for some reason Amazon will not post my updated review, I've tried 3 different occasions to post follow ups but they won't post.
What I learned with that battery is it works, only it does give me the invalid battery message and the phone shuts off but only if I reboot the phone at 100% battery life, upon booting the phone reports 50% charge and shuts off. You have to restart it a couple times until it's used a percentage or 2, then it boots fine. I emailed the seller about it and they responded with the cells are tested and they only use quality parts, they sent me another battery but that one does the same as the original. With the issue with the note 7 and other phones/chargers I stopped using the battery. It might be perfectly safe but I can't determine that and the risk is not one I am willing to wait and see. Here's a link to another topic here on XDA where I responded about this battery.

So, after the first full charge and discharge to 11%, I'm getting very good times better than stock. This will probably increase with a few more charging cycles. My opinion is this battery is definitely more mA. I will review more when later.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Google Pixel 2 XL can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Charging speed is fine and fast.
9
I'm finding it slow despite the fact it displays fast charging while using official cable and charger. My Note 8 is so much faster.
Mine 2 XL was really slow,It took 2h to charge from 30% to 100%.
A Youtuber points out the same issue, he got 2h 30m to charge 2 XL from 0% to 100%.
According to what I have seen from YouTube reviewers, charging speed is ridiculous (not in a good way). How can I possibly leave my Oneplus 5 dash charge for this?? Sigh.
For me it charges quite quickly up to 95%, but the last 5% are a drag. And I'm using the cable and charger that came with the phone.
My OG XL charged much quicker!
Wow, the bad news is just piling on. I might have to cancel my pre-order.
please calm down a bit. Charging slow the last part after 80% or so is not bad but very good because it saves your battery. There is nothing to prevent this so if OP5 charges the last part faster the battery will wear out faster.

Yes, they are supposed to throttle the charging after it hits a certain percentage (sounds like 80 in this case) but once it gets high enough the high amps can damage the battery, possibly overcharge it etc. 2.5 hours from 0%-100% doesn't sound terrible to me but maybe I'm not as picky as most....
Did anyone try charging the phone with a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible charger to see if there's any difference?
Mine charges between 2500-2800 mAh before the threshold with the screen off, around 1000 mAh with the screen on.
When charging at home, it takes 2hrs from 20%-100%. I just started charging it at work, and it shot up from 20%-85% in 15 mins. Now it's charging slowly going to 100%.
What kind of mA are y'all getting? Seems around 2000 at best which is pretty underwhelming. Half that with screen on...
This is with the out of box charger.
I want the good camera but man does op5 do so many things better than this at half the price. ?

Yep. Not sure anymore is exactly where I'm at unfortunately.
At this point, I've decided to just wait until December-January to see if anything changes with the quality of the screens/issues with the Pixel 2XL, if it gets better - I'll definitely get it, if not? See what the reviews for the 5T say and get it instead if they'll be positive.
I really, really wanted the new Pixels to be a smash hit and was ready to place my pre-order right away, but I'll let time to its thing for now since there's WAY TOO much negative surrounding the 2XL and for a good reason I guess.
you are paying the premium for camera these days. op5 pretty much does everything else better imo even with jelly scrolling.

You mean to say that although the chip is compat with QC 3 there is no QC 3 charger included with the phone ?
So I got the device today, set it up, rooted, and I thought I would share a couple of thoughts about the device.
First, Always On Display (AOD) was there initially, but the day one system update removed it, leaving only the option to have the screen wake up when you pick up the phone or a notification arrives, I wonder why remove a feature on day 1....
There is no way to show battery percentage in the status bar.
Navigation bar is always white even when using a dark / black app, looks really bad.
A lot of settings have been moved around, and generally the settings app does not feel like stock, the Razer phone managed to add extra options while still feeling and looking stock like, I would not call Oxygen OS stock like.
Adaptive brightness is all over the place and feels like a beta product.
I really really wish it had wireless charging.
I will keep this post updated as I find more things worth noting.
On the positive side.
Fingerprint and face unlock are incredibly fast.
Phone feels really smooth and fast.
I really like they include the advanced reboot option in dev settings.
Camera looks really promising, tho I only tested so much for now.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Battery life is awesome for me.
I jusdt got my oneplus 6 64 gig mirror black variant today. Charged it upto 98% and started playing around with it. The UI is familiar coming from a 3t but the lack of hardware navigation keys is a learning curve for me. Anyways what I could notice immediately is how good the battery life on active usage is. I've been watching videos on youtube and Amazon Prime and also some Facebook and so far managed to drain the battery to 66 percent with almost 4 hours of screen time. My 3t could only manage around 5.5 hours of screen time with the same sort of usage. This is just mind blowing. And all this was on 4g lte the whole time.. Thinking of rooting and unlocking the bootloader to get magisk working but I guess I'll just wait for the official twrp so that I can take a nandroid backup before doing anything else.
I agree with all of this. I feel the same way.
I Set the Phone up, then it went off and now it's in a boot loop, screen shows noisy green lines sometimes. Full wipe doesn't solve the problem and the support is not in the office now.
I'm really fed up.

Makes sense, easy software fix, but seems really like they rushed the device to market before finishing the software
For AOD, I believe they removed it to be able to test further and ensure there is no screen burn-in (something along these lines) and will re-add it in a future update (assuming testing goes well).

No, really, not 99%.
It's just a gimmick. Is the 2 seconds needed to plug a USB cable in to your phone such a great hardship that you'd rather wait 3-4 hours charging, instead of 1 hour needed with Dash Charge (or whatever OnePlus have decided to call it now)?

we found the 1% lol. But honestly, I really do miss this feature. Sure, dash change is a game changer. But the ease at night of night having to fumble for a cable is nice. Or while at work just to drop it on a pad. It would cost them next to nothing to put a coil in the phone to do this. Those who only use dash can be happy, and wireless charger addicts will be happy. Just a mistake...
For me the phone is decent, the vibration motor is a little weak IMO (coming from a S8). It is fast and the screen is ok. I do miss the S8 screen a bit though. Camera is great IMO. I like it better than the S8 in most cases. My battery life hasn't been great but I think a widget or something was causing the drain. VoLTE seems to drain the battery fast. Just initial thoughts. An upgraded 2k screen, wireless charging and using the ear piece speaker as a dual speaker would have made this the perfect smartphone of 2018. But it is growing on me.

Bro, I've seen you all over the forum spouting nothing but dislike and disappointment and advertising the next big thing by Xiaomi. I believe your exact words were "A Bit Underwhelmed".
We have different lifestyles and choices. Some of us work at a desk, using their phone often, it would be nice to just drop the phone next to whatever you're doing and have it charge. Not everybody has access to a cable manager or wants to keep a USB cable sitting out next to their work area for when they need a fast charge.
Or like this gentleman said, maybe some of us don't want to fumble around at home or at night for the charger.
We have our own opinions.
Just an observation coming from 5t the new op6 charging cable feels lot more thicker

^^ this. The whole wireless charging is the dumbest crap. 10 min on dash charge is the equivalent of 45 to an hour on wireless charging dock. I mean if your port went bad I could understand it but how the hell often does that happen? And if you're able to connect a wireless charger to an outlet, you can plug in your dash charger and be done soon much faster.

Wireless charging means less stress on the battery meaning it loses capacity more slowly, great for overnight charging, plus you don't wear out the charging port. Really wish it had a metal back as a single drop may mean serious damage. Going to have to use a case for the first time ever, sigh

anyone who is using oneplus devices for long time can you guys tell me how does oneplus batteries perform overtime and further more dash or warp charge's effect the overall battery capicity>?
THANKS to anyone who answers this
My 3T is still going strong after almost 2.5 years. Only reason I upgraded to the 7 Pro is a broken screen on the 3T. I almost always used the stock Dash charger with the 3T, and haven't noticed any significant decline in battery life.
Now, I think these manufaccturers will often switch battery suppliers, or use multiple suppliers. So my single data point may or may not be a predictor of how the battery on the 7 Pro will do.

I am still using my OP 3 will complete 3yrs this coming August. Battery is still going strong for daily usage (except gaming). I have always used the provided dash charger.

And what about your usage i mean are you a heavy user or a normal user

I would definitely say a normal/light user. No gaming (which is what folks often mean by "heavy" user). Just web browsing, email, video streaming, voice calls, etc.
On the other hand, I also leave my phone on the charger overnight all the time. Which supposedly is bad for long term battery health (leaving the phone on charger, after it is fully charged). But yet, all the batteries on my phone's I've ever had seem to have had decent battery longevity.
OP3, OP5, OP6, OP6T, and OP7 Pro all have had adequate battery life (OP7P so far)
The standby drain is very minimal. There's no need to leave your phone plugged in all night. Put it on the charger when u jump in the shower and it should be good to go when u leave.
Hello all, ,
Getting pretty tired of the 3xl but as i look around i'm not seeing anything really worth it?
Is there something y'all have your eye out for , that still gives us the ability to unlock bootloader flash etc. ?

Perhaps the S11+ Exynos version which will allegedly have an amazing camera and unlockable bootloader.

Having owned exynos samsung devices in the US on t-mo , i can honestly tell you i will never ever eff with samsung again.
The CSC crap alone should be enough to dissuade you.
Until OEMs give the option to run stock Android with updates on the day of release, I'm stuck with Google devices. I don't really care for the pixel hardware or the design to be honest. I just want stock rooted and be able to take OTAs.

Isn't Oneplus the logical choice? My understanding is that the hardware is better than the Pixels and it supports unlocking and flashing.
My Pixel 3 XL is very disappointing as well. It drains battery like crazy. My 3 yr old Pixel 2 XL has almost 40% more battery in identical conditions. And then also P3XL has bluetooth connection issues and reloading of apps in background.
Very bored and discouraged with the phone and can't do much since I spend close to $900 on it.
Thinking of Oneplus as the next device and getting away from Pixels. Do you have any other advice?

I have a pixel 2 that i have as a backup, but of course OP is the logical choice, problem is, i'd much rather spend my money on a 7t pro than a 7t :\

Yes. I agree. But the 7tPro is not available in the US. Also do you know whether OnePlus update Android regularly? One good thing about Pixels is the monthly security patch, and I don't know if OP phones get that.
How is your battery life on the P3XL? Mine is completely garbage. To the point, I have to carry 2 phones around always (Pixel 2 as the backup). IF I'm out, the battery on P3XL drains in real time. I barely even get half a day of light usage.
I've tried EVERY trick in the book: Multiple factory resets, debugging apps, rooting, custom kernels. NOTHING has helped. A P2XL in identical conditions - doesn't drain any battery at all. As I type this, since morning my P3XL has gone down to 51% in 3 hours where as P2XL is still at 83%. Both phones have the same exact apps and same version of Android.

I jus order me a One Plus 7 Pro it was 50 cheaper than the 7t but a way better looking screen then 8 pro gonna have a camera hole on screen but identical to 8 pro. One plus jus releaseed Android 10 beta in oct or Nov so their right behind Google but for half the price 577 with a case screen protector preinstalled 8gb ram 256 storage 90hz fresh rate like the pixel 4 4000mah battery 30 min charge time. Sounds way better to me. Also you should try
Despair Kernel it helped my P3XL in battery life. Also if you root theres magisk module GMS dose will help with the standby drain with Kernel and that module makes it gold .

Thanks. Appreciate the review.
Once you have the Oneplus 7 Pro, I would be very interested to know the comparison with Pixel 3 XL specifically on the screen, sound, performance, battery life etc. I do NOT care about the Camera.
