Hi,
Samsung are going to release the new case along with the S10 range.
Found a vid on it.
https://youtu.be/ZjuoulQ6goM
I like it but can't find too much info on features etc.
I'm thinking of getting it but it's around £50.00 UK.
What do you guys think about it?
It's simple but there's something nice about it

I like it. I purchased that case along with the LED wallet case. Wasn't sure which one I wanted so I got both.
But I also wish there was more info about this case. Nobody seems to want to show off the cases or menu of the phone that much. They only seen to care about how well the cameras work.
Yeah exactly why I posted. There's hardly any information on the case or if they will upgrade it with more icons etc

Well it comes with about 50 (can't remember the exact number) but Samsung says on the website you can add an additional 60 I believe.
Nice. I'm going to ordering it then

Ok, just looked it up. It's 54 preloaded and the user can create an additional 60, per Samsung.
I saw this on youtube while im searching for official case for s10+... I really like but its $54. reminds me of Rolls royce starlight headliner.
I wonder if 3rd party case maker will make this kinda of cases.
I 've got one. IT have 10 preset led icon and can't add more icon or customize it. See pic...
That's the case I wanted in the beginning when I was going to get a free case from Samsung but then I had to pre-order from Best Buy. My husband who already had his order in with Samsung chose this LED wallet case that holds a credit card. He'll need a better strong case every day case too I really wanted to try this case and wish it had more colors. I am thinking the LED will show up better on the black. I am getting a Flamingo Pink S10 Plus. One thing about this case though the buttons are not covered up if you drop the phone I didn't really care for the sides of the case. I'd still like to see one in person and hear how you guys like it if and when you get one.

No, just show telephone icon.
I just went to the you tube video and it says has been removed by user. If Amazon has this which I haven't checked yet I have a $130 gift card so maybe I will try it. It just seems like the LED would show up better on the black but I like the white. But I read you can add up to so many more customizations right? So like you can have a different icon for different people that text you since they took the contact tone away which makes me so mad. I love the old bubbles at the top of the messages app too with favorites but since we got Oreo under contacts now it just has ringtones and vibration no text tone I've been debating whether to go back to Textra.

what kind of protection does it give? Is it raised from the front a bit so that i would take the impact in case the phone falls face down? It looks really nice but im not sure what kind of protection it would give.
Well my Samsung order shipped... Everything but this case. That's unfortunate...
So I just received the case, but I don't have a phone to go with it yet.
Can anyone confirm whether Samsung Pay via NFC works with this case or not? I thought I had read someone that it does not.

I have it as well and agree those are the only available to me. The settings for it seem very limited overall. I thought I would be able to assign different icons to different notifications (hello, missing LED notification light) and things like that.
Unfortunately I'm disappointed with it, so far at least. It does have a quick, cool, wow factor, but I need functionality if it's not going to offer maximum protection.
I've got this case.. it's pretty cool for showing off, but missing a lot of function.
1. NFC won't work with this case turned on. (Fortunately I don't really need NFC in where I live yet)
2. This case somehow blocks touch screen interaction when using wireless charger, can someone test this also? It's kinda weird.
3. Lack of costumization for icons or pattern.
4. When ever I use a wireless charger the led case will automatically turned off, but never turned on automatically so I have to turn on the led case again. (Probably better to use regular charger)
5. It lacks protection.
6. I wish there's a way to always on the led case. The mood light is pretty cool
That's for now I can find about this case.
I think most of it can be fixed by software update. But who knows.
Hope this help.
Unless samsung decides to improve the scope of what this case can do or someone is able to put something together to access functionality. I definitely wouldn't recommend this in its current state. I'm really disappointed.

I was just curious if any others have had experience with the horizontal dock that is available on Sprints website? I know I saw one or two people say something about it..but was curious if anyone else has picked it up?

I bought it alongside my Epic. It was $39.99 and, in my opinion, not really worth the price. I had the money, though, and wanted a dock anyway. IMO it should have been priced at $19.99 to be more realistic.
It makes a great bedside clock and once 2.2 is out on it, the audio out will work. Until then, though, it's just a bedside clock unless I use my stereo bluetooth for audio which doesn't allow 5.1 sound. Then it's an okay stand for watching TV at work.
Where can we buy it from?
Where can we buy the dock from? Is it available online? There is one available on Samsung's site but it says its for t-mobile. Will it also work for epic 4g regardless of epic having a keyboard?
Watch out for Volume toggle problem on desk dock!
I bought three and took one back. When you set the phone in the dock it fits poorly and contacts the volume toggle. I put a small piece of velcro on the right side where the phone rests and that solved the problem for the ones I use at home and work. In the car, with all the jostling it doesn't work as well. I'll wait and take a look at the car dock when it becomes available. Sprint Premier customers get 25% off of accessories, which is a sweet deal.

yep I have one and I love it....but it does fit loosely.....fixed it with a little Velcro strip also....will be doing same thing for car...got mine for 29.99 with discount...imho it is a must have....easier to use when charging than with the stupid wire on top....basically i like it a lot....also there is a desktop and car app in market for it...
For those of you with the dock and charging via USB, does it not recognize that it's connected that way? I have to remove mine from the dock to enable mounting so I can transfer data. If it doesn't for anyone else, then I guess I accept it, but that would be a design flaw IMHO. Maybe there are early and late releases, but mine has indentations for the volume buttons, so as much as I wiggle it within the dock, it never contacts the volume keys that I've read mentioned.
I'm also running Syndicate ROM and kernal, so Desk Home from the Market doesn't work for the alarm or music. Fortunately the alarm app integrated into Syndicate does it all, and allows my live wallpaper to be shown, then goes to green numbers only when the display times out. I also noticed that the green time thing moves around as the minutes pass, so I assume this is to prevent any possible screen burn-in.
I bought the dock and I am so dumb I didn't realize it wouldn't work with a case. So I popped it open and did a little mod to move the port up an out so it would fit. Just a thought if you have or would like a case. Otherwise it's nice. I don't like the app designed for it, you can't customize it at all. There are better apps out there but it's no big deal to me to just dock it and tap clock. (2cents)

I saw a post on PPCG about a burn in problem on the Epic screen due to the fact that the bottom tollbar is always on while on the doc. Anyone experienced it? I was going to buy a dock as well but after reading that post decided not to.
that was me. ive got the pics...
here is my original thread at ppcgeeks where you can see more images
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-epic-4g/135478-anybody-wanna-see-image-burnt-my-screen.html
sprint replaced it free of charge after my 30 days was already up, too.
usually looks like this in dock mode.

i used screen test with an all blue screen. it can also be seen on pure white and green. red not so much.
Thanks austin420. So I am assuming you are NOT using the dock with your replacement?
What I find interesting is this - most of the images there are static; but the time... 10:00... how could that be a burn in since the digits always change as time goes by? Why specifically 10:00? Weird.
i am still using the dock, just not over night.
i dont think it says 10:00. i think it looks to me more like 1888. i think there are more rounded numbers in the font like 2 3 6 8 9 and 0 all kind of follow the same form. the 1 is there because there is no other number optioin for that spot. you never see 22:00, you know? there is either no number there or a 1 as in 10 oclock 11 and 12 oclock.
That makes sense. Thanks Austin.

I downloaded the Desktop and Car apps as well, but they both suck and I didn't like that they're limited as well. I mounted one of these docks in my car and I'm still wondering if when 2.2 comes out that the headphone jack on the back may only function using one of those Samsung apps. I'd prefer that I can throw my phone into the dock and that the headphone jack would still function while using Pandora, Slacker, etc...I've got my fingers crossed.

I'm surprised that burn-in could even happen on this screen, but I guess anything like this can happen to any screen. I'm running the Syndicate ROM and Kernal and it uses a different clock/alarm app. It's actually quite cool, has completely different backgrounds, has a disk or album art views of the music and something that the alarm clock app needed in the first place...a screen saver. When I first goto the app, it has it's initial screen, but after about 5 minutes it turns into a black screen w/ green writing showing the time, date and every few seconds it moves around on the screen to prevent burn-in. I have attached the app below for those who don't want to flash the entire ROM. Give it a try before ruling out the dock. Even though I'm still uncertain how the dock will perform once 2.2 comes out, it's still nice to have and only cost me $20 shipped.
Thanks!

So, can anyone comment if they are allowed to mount their phone while using the dock? It's kind of annoying to have to pull the phone and cord from the dock just to be able to sync downloaded apps, pics, etc.
So while in dock mode do you have to have the screen on? Or was it just being left on? I could still turn the screen off no? I am mostly curious as I'd like an easy way to keep my phone charged and listen to pandora and slacker while at work. They decided this week that we aren't allowed to waste their bandwith.... it couldnt be because you have 1000 people on MAYBE a 6MB connection which is slower than what I have at home lol. So this may be an option if I can just keep the screen off.

Bump...this should only take a second to figure out. I need to leave feedback and determine if I've got a normal or defective dock here.
It won't install on my epic. Do you have to be rooted?

What won't install on your Epic?
laying around in house to see if it will work for our G2X?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D1B7BEGSTA-SGH-i997-Multimedia-microUSB/dp/B004WOBN3I
I know its not for the LG, but its a micro USB and has everything working for it including the size ( i think).
If we can not find a decent LG dock, then this one might be a good option... but dont know if it will work for our phones or not. So hoping someone has one laying around at home that they can try out and report back.
Looks like it works with the Infuse 4G. Compare sizes and see if it'll work.
Possibly. The Infuse 4G was huge:
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_co...tion-vs-T-Mobile-G2x-vs-iPhone-4-vs-Infuse-4G
If there is a backplate, it should fit in there with room to spare. Might not be a good fit but it'd work. For $50 bucks though I'd think I'd want something tailored specifically to my device.
agreed... i rather get something for the phone.. but doesnt look like LG has any decent docks that does activate the dock features and all.....
from all I keep reading on the desk dock.. it doesnt really do much other then hold it in place.
I don't know, the dimensions given by Amazon are Product Dimensions: 4 x 3.5 x 4.5 inches which, after you consider the excess on the side, might be a snug fit. Although, given the specs I've found on the Infuse, either these dimensions are wrong or it's not for the Infuse, but more of a Samsung brand charger than a specific handset and, again, is labeled wrong by Amazon.
No matter what, the mini USB is in the correct location. And even if it's a little wider, it still looks better than anything offered by either LG or anyone else. If you try it or anyone else, post up. Cause I'm interested!
I will buy it and post a mini review for you guys, it looks like a perfect fit.

Any update on this? I too am looking for something JUST like this.
wow... nice dock.. and checking the sized.. the G2 is significantly smaller than the infuse.. this should actually work.. hazaaaaa. Did anyone buy this yet?
You can always return it to amazon with no issue if it doesn't work eh?
Why not one of these universal ones on ebay? Link to my search: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=un...+cradle&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Particularly this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-DESKT...689784?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2ec60c78
They are soooo much cheaper and I would think reception to the cell tower (4G Internet) would be less likely to be interfered with if none of the rear surface area is covered. With my G2 I noticed that my connection speed and number of bars was a lot lower when I laid it flat on a table. When I either propped it up on the table, or held it flat with just my finger tips (basically leaving the back uncovered) the connection was fast and strong again.
I like this idea too because I can place it anywhere in the room for best reception and run an extension cable to it to keep it charged, while using the the 4G with wifi hotspot on my PC.
I wonder which is best as a homemade tripod. At those prices I could buy 1 of each and try them all.

Well, I just purchased it. Used the super saver shipping (5-8 [email protected] charge) so I guess we'll know in 5-8 days.
I'll post pics and final judgement as to whether or not it works...
I have the official LG desk and car docks. The desk is not fancy, but it hold the phone up, you just have to plug the power cable in if you're placing the phone in the horizontal orientation.
The car dock is great, solid, great fit. But I may remove the magnet that tells the phone to go into "car mode", since generally that's not helpful to me.

can the car dock be mounted to my dashboard? i don't like sticking to windshield.
anyone pick this up yet?
I got it today... and it is sexy!!!
Now for the low down:
-Yes, the phone will connect in (w/o a cover on only)
-there is a gap though on either side, maybe a 1/4" at most
Even w/the gaps, I can still place it on it's side and the phone stays connected,
although, since it's being held up by the slim-usb connector, I can't see it being
good for the phone.
Now for the bummer (well, kinda) to get full functionality of the dock, you have to DL 'Samsung Home Dock' app from the store. Now, since it's free, you wouldn't think it was so bad, until you find out itlooks for the specific samsung fingerprint in the build.prop in order to install (to DL from market as well, I just took the apk file from xda.) So, now I need to find a build.prop that will sneak me through this little speed bump. Shouldn't be hard, just not enough time to search it out tonight.
Fortunately, the speakers on the G2x are so bad ass, even w/o the addt'l speaker built into the dock, it still kicks it out.
I'll get pics posted tomorrow after work.
Over all, considering our options, I think it's a winner!

Here are some pics of the dock, with and w/o my G2x in it. I want to apologize for the fingerprint smudges that are all over it... Who am I kidding, all that proves is how much I love this phone and use it.
Anyway, on w/the pics.

Dock itself, sans phone[obviously]
rear view of dock. here you can see the built in speaker, speaker line out and the mini usb [power] connector.
A good [but very smudgy fingerprint-tastic] view of the phone in cradle.
This is a close up of the gap.
To be fair, as I've said in a previous post, I can set it on it's side while the phone is in and it doesn't sway at all due to how far in the usb connector fits. Still, I have to think it wouldn't be healthy to place it on it's side w/o some kind of cushion. I'm in the works of forming a silicone slide to custom fit it. Once I have time to do it right that is. I'll post pics after I'm done.
As far as getting the Samsung Desk Home to install, I still haven't figured out how to properly modify the build.prop to recognize it . I've got a post in the modding are of xda for assistance. The last thing I want to do is somehow brick my phone for a dock app [although I would LOOOOVE to be able to use that line out w/my google music beta as an alarm!] but no response yet.
Here are my thoughts on the LG Cam Plus Module:
I got the only module that my local T-Mobile store got in. I was lucky that one of the reps called me before she even put it in stock and held it for me. Awesome service right there!!!
FEEL
So far, I really like the extra heft. For those of you who remember the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, it feels a little like the extra battery did but at the bottom and not the middle. It's a great feeling. I have fairly large hands from bodybuilding and it is a bit awkward thus far to turn the phone over to use the module. But, I think I'll get used to that quickly. Really big hands people will likely want to steer away from the module as it won't benefit them much.
The dial isn't as nice as I would like. I was hoping it would have some feedback like a traditional camera dial does, but it doesn't. Not a big deal, but I did notice it nonetheless. It is a major improvement over not having the module, though!
LOOK
It looks okay... I wish the colors were more coordinated. The gold and silver combo don't look very good in my opinion. Black and silver and then silver and silver would be good. So, I really wish they made the module in black only.
It is all plastic from what I can tell, which I don't like whatsoever. But, for plastic, it does have a good feel. I will say that.
BATTERY
This is where I have a major concern. If you look at the battery specs, it only qualifies for Quick Charge 2.0 for input and output. It is only 5v/9v for input and only 5v for output. I'll be able to confirm shortly whether or not my phone says it's quick charging or not with the module attached. I did notice earlier while using the module that while charging the phone, it heated up a bit like QC 2.0 not 3.0, for whatever that's worth.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
So far, I'm glad I got it. I'm on many estimates for contracts throughout the day and I can see how it will make things easier to take pictures. A lack of a case does concern me, but I guess that's what insurance is for lol (as I found out with my V10).
The extra battery will come in handy I'm sure as I'm going thru juice quite a bit. I use my phone heavily. I have two numbers going to my phone for calls and texts (gv). I use my phone at least for 4 hours a day for calls to give you an idea. I'll report back on the extended battery life and what I can determine as to the charging current with the module battery. I'm not sure how much of a definitive answer I can find without root since I don't think ampere will work without root. I've attached a bunch of pictures for you guys. Let me know if you have any questions I can try to answer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the speaker seems to be better than the stock module. I didn't notice any crackling at higher volumes as I did with the stock module.
Edit 2: I can confirm that the module does NOT quick charge your phone. When a quick charger is plugged into the pack, I can confirm that the phone will quick charge but the module itself does not seem to quick charge judging from the fact that it took about an hour and a half to go from 0-Full while plugged into a QC 2.0 charger by itself. I have attached a picture of the phone charging from the module in Ampere.

Edit 3: I've noticed during my workout that the battery stops charging after around 15 minutes. Each time I have to turn the module back on... Very weird. Hopefully LG will change this in the future.

I got some issues with the cam plus too that its stops charging. How you turn it on because even in the module manual i wasnt able to find it. With button combination you need to press?

To turn it on, press the record button. The small circular button next to the shutter button. Just one press and voilà!
The randomness is very annoying of the charger though and the fact that you can't see the amount of charge the module has.

That the problem i had. I pressed the record buttons many time and nothing happened. I hope that a version upgrade will fix it. Thanks.
There is one thing I don't like about it is the battery dosen't really combine 1200+2800 to form 4000mAh, the 1200mAh actually charges the main battery.
And I wished they put the roller wheel further up the corner.
Apart from those, the unit looks nice and fits well, and I wish they had a pink color one, probably paint it later on and also modify it to support qi wireless charging, just have to check if there is room inside to add the mod.
I actually placed an order for a case made for the cam plus, and also a case for the Hifi plus, but have to wait till end of the month for delivery of the Hifi plus unit.

I'm curious to what the universal bumper looks like, can you post a photo.
Here is some actual photo's of the case for the cam plus.
It's a jelly case made from thick TPU, all the buttons are in the right place, although you may think the shuttle button is towards one side, I think it's made that way so you can press the button at a angle.
Just order the CAM Plus case on eBay:

Hi,
How can I see the status of the battery in the module? (e.g. Capacity or if it's charging?)
Got the module for free. Pretty nice, but not worth the 99€ which you have to pay in Germany. Especially the strange thing that the module battery is charging the internal battery and only if the module is active.

Hi everyone!
My team and I are working on a edge notification mod concept which I'd like to share with you (we're taking part in the transform the smartphone challange). Here's a quick look:
We missed led notifications and came up with an all-around edge light system - we're almost finished with the prototype. Small leds, which can be found on some phones are very underwhelming- we are planning to spice things up a bit.
The prototype has 20 individually lit leds, which can glow in basically any color. This allows for pretty much unlimited customization - patterns & colors.
We're linking this to 3rd party notificactions (facebook, twitter, instagram, gmail etc), text messages, calls, calendar events, emails and so on. You'll be able to set any color to any notification you like.
There's also additional functionality like:
- a low battery status
- gradual illumination and color shift as the battery recharges
- option to save settings for different time/days
- automatic on/off at specific time/day
- option to link to specific contacts (calls and text messages)
It's a quick way of reading between the lines and knowing what kind of information your phone is reaching out to you with before you even unlock the screen. It also lets you priotitize - for example, you can enable it for the notifications you want to receive at a specific moment and not worry or get disturbed by the stuff you don't care about.
You can link specific notifications, like social media with color 1, work contacts with color 2, family & friends color 3 etc. Simple, quick and efficient.
There's no impact on battery life, as we're planning to squeeze in a 2000mah battery in there. It's going to be enough to power the enhanced notification for a few days or you can also use it to add some power to your phone if you have to.
You'll be able to set a specific battery % to start and stop charging at or straight after snapping it in - it will recharge the phone automatically.
Here's a quick look at the app:

Thanks,
Tom
cool idea
I like it, but while I hate to be "that guy", what does Razer think about the name? Referring to their "Chroma" keyboard.

Shouldn't be a problem as our logo is different. However, we have several other ideas for the name/logo in case we run into issues like these . Currently we're mostly focused on development and functionality.
Sweet! I'd buy that!

If you are able to squeeze that battery in, do you plan on making it support wireless charging?
Also, Idk how far you are in to development, but do you have any expected price range?

We get that question a lot! It's definitely possible. However, we need need to look into some design guidelines and see how much would the thickness get increased by. The edge notifications and additional power are a priority, but we'll take all suggestions into account . We want to be competitive when it comes to pricing, but it's too early to give an accurate estimate. There's going to be a 25% discount for everyone who pre-orders though, stay tuned!

It would be nice if you would actually cover the phone up and make it a case to protect the aluminium body and the screen. Or make 2 versions, one that acts like a case and the other one just like a style shell

It's an option Not sure how that would work out with the pin alignment and Motorola's Moto Mod requirements though. Will look into it!

Why is the indiegogo ended??
Intrigued...quick questions about the battery portion...
1. Would this be able to work as some of the other mods do with the "efficiency mode? That kind of trickle charges the phone and keeps it at 80% battery?...
2. Does the battery in the mod charge when the phone is plugged in?
Also, I agree with the idea of making it sort of like a "case." Reason being, I like using a bumper case when I have a mod attached to the phone, but it looks like the available.bumper cases from Verizon or Incipio would cover up the colored led portion...If you could integrate a softish material that protects the sides and wraps around to the front it would be AMAZING

We haven't decided on how the battery portion will work yet, but our idea is a bit different. We want to implement a setting in the app that will enable 2 modes:
1. phone battery starts recharging straight after the module is snapped in (this would probably use trickle charging, but we're still not 100% sure)
2. you set a fixed % value that you would like your phone to start and stop charging at. Lets say you set start to 30% and stop to 70% - when the phone drops to 30% it will recharge till it reaches 70%. This, in my opinion is a better option and manages battery life more efficiently.
The bumper has been mentioned by others a few times, so it is definitely an option. The question remains though if Motorola's requirements for Moto Mods won't get in the way. We'll be looking into it
I wouldn't make a case version of this. I actually just recommend you putting stretch goal for 3 optional bumper cases. One for each current Z device and then future ones if your still doing stuff later on. That way if you get the mod you can still use it next generation. If you do the case version you are limited if next gen doesn't have the same dimensions.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the OnePlus 6T, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the OnePlus 6T is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Love is such a strong emotion, I really really like this phone.
In full love for the new flagship. OnePlus 6T is finally in my hands. Just simply amazing. The design, especially the new tear-drop notch and the slight curvature at the back is wonderful. Feels solid in hand, though slippery. Now it's my responsibility to protect it. Will have to treat it with kids glove..

Enjoying it very much. I came from a pixel xl 2 and the few things i missed are slowly fading.
Camera is good enough. I'm not taking award winning photos anyway but this camera gets the job done.
Full quality photos upload. I still have my pixel and the only photos i care to keep at full quality are from my dedicated camera so i can just transfer to the pixel and upload. Same goes for the OnePlus. The 4k 60fps seems to upload at full quality without a hit on my space if i transfer from my OnePlus to my pixel.
The squeeze for Google Assistant. I used this a lot when my phone was off. I was missing it but then remembered OnePlus has off screen gestures. I just customized one for Google Assistant. Problem solved.
Really like the gestures navigation and the extra screen real estate it provides along with the subtle notch. It's not too intrusive and it's hidden the PROPER way.
Pixel 2 feels better in hand and is lighter which is better for one handed prolonged use. Plus the back is not a smudge King like one OnePlus.
Need better accessories for this phone. Cases are sorely lacking. I don't see myself switching back to the pixel anytime soon.
8gb RAM is legit!! Reduced app loading nice

Coming from an everyday driver Note 8, so far so good. Really like the feel of the phone in the hand and the speed it has. Another is the built in dark mode and ability to change the text color without root or substratum. One there's an official twrp I will be rooting basically for adaway. Also liking getting away from touchwiz.

I have concern with loudspeaker. It seems to be too much towards high tones. There is no balance between high tones and "bass". I'm no sound specialist but I hope you know what I mean.

Love that built-in dark mode as well, and the text color change.
Was still on a Note5 and the trade in for T-Mo was too good to ignore. Love the phone so far, and nice that I don't have to use other apps to overcome TouchWiz, although it was never really that obtrusive on my Note5 anyway.
Just wish they allowed you to auto rotate the home screen with the stock launcher, and also I forgot what a PITA Google can be with making you do things their way - I would really love to have the ringtone and notification alerts separated again so that I can change the volume independently without using a separate app. I forgot Google combined them a while back. They used to have a checkbox that you could select to combine the volume functions ONLY IF YOU WANTED.
Otherwise, I don't miss wireless charging as much as I thought I might, but only because this really is an all-day+ battery phone.
Been waiting along time for a US carrier to pick up OnePlus. It's everything I thought it would be and more.

I'm the same way. Had 2 invites to buy the first OnePlus device, but I was Verizon (unlimited data). I've had a OnePlus shirt for years. I do miss always on display a lot. I really don't want to root because it's a hassle to keep up with.

You know that you can enable Google Assistant to trigger with a long press on power button, don't you?
You can't do that on the TMobile variant right? Even so, I'd like to keep from overusing the power button. Plus the gesture is much cooler. [emoji16]

My first OnePlus Phone and I LOVE IT!
To echo much of the sentiment here. This is my first 1+ device. This thing is Incredible. Anyone who is hesitating, don't. This device runs way better than my P2XL ever did.
Feeling in hand, performance, battery life, screen. Overall is a WIN WIN!
can someone tell me about sound quality of this phone in speaker and headphone?

Yes, the OnePlus 6T comes with a very good case. Some Smartphone manufactures, like Xiaomi sends cases by default. But the cases are crap.
The case is so good that I will not buy another, maybe just an original case.
