Overall love

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

Why did I not think of this!! THANK YOU!!

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.

True love

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.

Vivo NEX S - Questions, Purchase decision

Hello everyone
I found myself in this situation, so, I can now purchase global NEX S locally in one of the retailers for roughly $600, brand new, but I have some doubts about the purchase since phone is more than 6 month old, still no Pie for it and basically zero 3rd party development due to lack of source from Vivo.
I really, REALLY like the design though. Notch is a deal-breaker for me and I'm a huge fan of that full screen and in-display fingerprint reader.
I own Galaxy S8 currently and must say, S10 looks same to me. Also, hole in the display is equivalent of notch imo, so, that's a no-no.
All that said, I have few questions.
1. Does this phone (global version) have notification light (notification LED)?
2. How's the ardio coming from 3.5mm jack?
3. What do you love / hate about the phone?
4. Would you recommend it to your friend?
5. Feel free to add your own opinions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Love everything except funtouch launcher but i replace by nova launcher...no notification led but just install NO LED and work very very well....battery with full usage stai easy 2 day....screen is very amazing color...no notch..no waterdrop screen , fulll screen...s10+ with 2 hole in screen (very ugly)
dont hesitate
only thing is functouch...you need take 1-2 hrs to knoww all about functouch

S10 design really disappointed me but I'm sure many people will buy it.
Still, thanks for your reply, there's still no root access available for the NEX, right? What a gorgeous phone anyway

I have had my Nex S for around 1 week now and here are my views & opinions to help you along the way.
1) Display is Fantastic (ok it's not QHD) but really that does not matter it vibriant and clear and most of all it's ALL Display and that I very much appreciate.
2)Battery life (although Funtouch doesn't show SOT, yes I or you could use GSM or similar, but all I can say is that I play alot of PubG and browse and use message and like now, took off charge at 8am it's now 11pm and I have 28% left, it's well fantastic.
3)I have the international version and it's great no Chinese bs, and notifications come through just fine, if you install Nova or Pixel launcher your all golden.
4)Don't listen to reviews the UD scanner works well and I'd say 98% success rate for me or very close to, opens as fast as I need it to.
5)Camera's are nice to, ok perhaps not pixel, but I like the quality you get from them.
6)Design is nice to and comes with a nice case (not a cheap feeling one) it's quite decent.
Overall yeah I would recommend the Nex S, no there isn't root but I don't actually mind, I have other phones that I can mess around with...
Hope this helps, it's a very nice device ......:good:

No root but with ADB its very easy to remove all bloatware...but with 8gb ram...no need more ram

I agree with all the previous comments. I highly recommend this phone. It's phenomenal in terms of performance, looks and superb battery life. Just change the launcher.

Huge thanks to all of you, will post uptades and my impressions if I get it

I'm thinking to get one nex s....

Totally agge with above posts by other users I'm having the Chinese version 6 months now and most of the case totally satisfied.
The only thing missing from the device is 3 things.
1.No unlimited app notification on AOD(very bad Vivo policy-most OEM offer that choice with AOD)
2.You can not customize off screen gesture like for example Oxygen offer with Oneplus and use whatever app want.
3.Not having unlimited accent color customization and not having dark/black themes out of box like Oxygen offer.
With nova launcher +sesame shortcut app+ HD widget you could get SOT detail info.
Just like my few minutes ego results after 2.5 days.

Does it feel smooth? I'm currently deciding if I should buy this phone or the Mate 20 lite (I'm buying with Tre at the same price), I really like the screen and the camera but the SoC is slower on the A7. As long as it is a smooth UI I'll buy this one, since I'm not that interested in graphics demanding games and CPU intensive apps, I just need it to be usable without lags and random freezes.

Don't buy the Mate 20, i bought one before getting the A7, the screen in the Mate 20 is really bad, has one of the grey "ish" blacks I've seen on any recent phones, my unit also had a problem with hot pixels that were only noticeable on black colors in very dark environments

Is it really that bad? I mean, it's an LCD, obviously OLED screens are better, but I was told and I found online that it's a fairly good LCD for a mid-range phone. Also, I don't really mind the screen, I just need a smooth system, and from experience I know Samsung ones can be quite heavy. On the other hand, after two years and a half of EMUI I'd like something that looks newer, and Huawei has recently stopped providing bootloader codes for free. That said, I'll still keep EMUI if it means that it's smoother.

The Mate 20 has a faster chipset, if your priority is power then i guess that's your best option, having said that, the A7 is a very smooth device, i have not found any stutter or any apps that struggles to handle, i think the experience is very good
i primarily use my phone for media consumption and was very disappointed with the screen and audio quality of the Mate 20, the volume with headphones is below average in volume
this is the way i see it:
Mate 20
pros
faster chipset
feels very premium in hand
cons
screen not as good as the A7
sound volume and quality are below average
has a notch
A7
pros
fantastic screen without a notch
very good audio quality (has dolby atmos)
better camera than the mate 20
is widevine L3 certified so you can watch netflix at full hd
you get always on display
cons
the device is very light in a cheap kind of way,
front camera doesn't have autofocus
the side bezels are a bit bigger than we are used to in 2019, i'll take that over a notch
doesn't have usb type-c
i hope that helps with your decision

well, the xiaomi mi A2 is almost half the price of the A7, only $ 180, i don't think is a fair comparison, the A7 is better in every single way but that's to be expected from a device twice the price
if money is not a problem i would go for the A7, if you are on a budget and want to save some money then i guess the xiaomi is a good option, i've never had a xiaomi device so i can't really tell you what to expect

Thanks a lot, a check with Smart Switch revealed that there is an update for the Netherlands as well. I guess for a lot of other European countries tool. Rooted phones will not receive the update OTA, you must manually download it. For that you can use Sammobile.com which is excruciatingly slow however. If it works, use SmartSwitch instead. It is ree, quicker, less of a hassle and you can be sure you get the right version for your phone.

Youre getting a way better camera,super amoled, one ui with a7. One ui is the best skin right now.
Mi a2 has sd660 which is slightly better in gaming and youre getting android one. Better updates.
For me, id go with a7 because of one ui and the camera. Go with mi a2 if you feel like gaming but battery is terrible

OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro? which one should I buy? Confused

Hi,
I am on my 1st OnePlus, i.e OnePlus3T and now its time to upgrade. I wanted suggestions about whether I should go for OnePlus 7 or 7 Pro? I find 7 Pro attractive, but I am not sure about the rising camera, will it be good for long term usage?
Please help with the wise advice

Wrong forum section! .
There are so many reviews right now.
You know your budget and your preferences. The decision should be easy.

Go for 7 Pro if have budget

If you think about 7, keep 6T.
7 Pro, yes, if you got the cash.

Wrong section, and if u have 6T then NONE of them just wait 1 more year

Get the Pro if you have the Dough...

Same here. Torn between the 2.
7 Pro:
+'ves
Better screen
Curved glass
More colours
Extra rear camera
-'ves
Pop up camera
Worse battery life
Curved glass (- for some)
Price
Too big
Too heavy/top heavy
7
+'ves
Cheaper
Same cameras, stereo speakers, waterproofing, upgraded fingerprint sensor, o/s, CPU
Flat screen
Nice size
Better battery life
-'ves
Slightly slower screen
Teardrop notch
Limited colours
Only 2 rear cameras
The 7 has been overshadowed by the pro but the specs are still very good. As usual not so much of an upgrade from the 6T. My 6 was smashed recently and I'm down to my OnePlus One (I couldn't wrench the OnePlus 3 from my son, I didn't have the heart).
At the same price as the Redmi K20 the 7 with the superb Oxygen O/S wins easily for me.
Yes that pop up camera will break. It'll get grit in it and will be a constant annoyance.
In daily use, after the novelty has worn off, and your not comparing it side by side, no one will notice the speed of the screen, including you.

7 wins
I should try and fine tune the points...

Hi. Going by your priorities, it's a no contest. Go for the 7. Good luck
PS: I haven't used either, but I'd fill in that table exactly how you have. I barely use the camera. So I'd go for the 7 as well

I got the Pro (my first oneplus phone) but returned it after 3 days. I found the reflections down the sides on the curved screen were just plain ugly and distracting. I suspect I'm on my own on this as I've not seen any mention of it in reviews. I may try the flat screen of the 7, not decided yet.

I will suggest onePlus 7 since it is in more reasonable price and no ghost touch issue

If you have enough budget you can get Oneplus 7 pro. But if you want the same performance and speed like the oneplus 7 pro in a better price you can go with oneplus 7.

Hello,
In my case I think even if they would have same price I would pick the non-pro version, mainly for the flat screen, no moving camera, smaller size, and better battery life with the lower resolution screen. The only point I give to the op7 pro is the zoom. I would also like to know if you would go for the K20pro, knowing that you can find those at a similar price. I think the op7 has better connectivity, in terms of frequency bands, so if you are a person that travels frequently, you would run out of network in some countries. (Additionally op7 has front speakers)

Where is this price found?

7 Pro. Reviewers and people I know said that they cheaped out on regular 7 that it has issues like random bootloops and thermal throttling. So fat 7 pro is perfect and worth the money.

Bought the 7 Pro. Used for about a week, returned it. Got the 7 now, totally happy with it. I switched from the 6T, btw.
7 Pro is heavy and I personally don't like heavy phones. But the display is smooth af. Love it totally. But the curves on both sides of the display make no practical use. And the curves also start much earlier compared to Samsung flagships which means the reflections on it affect the content on the screen. Also I didn't exactly like the feel while typing on the curved edges. And the ultrawide camera on the 7 Pro is totally unusable in lowlight.
7 has a flat display and doesn't look as good as the 7 Pro but flat screens are so much more practical. And since it's lighter than the 7, feels good in hands too. Cameras are pretty much the same on both (although f/1.6 on the pro and f/1.7 on the regular).
The speakers are a tad bit louder and better on the 7 Pro, not saying 7's are bad in any way. And Idk why the fingerprint scanner on the 7 Pro feels a bit faster, but don't get me wrong, the 7's is blazing fast too. Despite having a 20W charger, 7 actually charges faster because of the smaller battery. But I must say it gives me better battery backup than the 7 Pro did (because of course the QHD and 90Hz drain a lot of juice).
I'd say, go for the regular 7. It's a better value for money device and doesn't really miss out on anything while compared to the Pro except for the extra cameras and QHD 90Hz display.
Oh and one thing about the Pro, if you get a video call the front cam is gonna popup (even if your phone is in the pocket or a bag). Idk how it's gonna affect it but it doesn't seem like a nice implementation. [UPDATE: Oxygen OS 9.5.8 fixes this!]

If budget isn't a constraint, which phone would you buy, and why?

Smartphone from different brands have different positives and negatives, and choosing one almost always leads to some compromises for everyone.
I have compared the software features by OEM here.
I have mentioned some specialities of phones by brand here.
There is a post on why stock Android is overrated and why Pixel phones are a bad deal for their price.
All that said, if budget isn't a constraint and you have to use only one phone, which phone would you buy today and why?

As of today, I'll stick with the Samsung Galaxy Ultra.
One hand experience + is a Goodlock module from Samsung that makes gesture navigation and app launches a breeze. I haven't found an equivalent 3rd party app that provides the same experience on other brands.
Here are some big positives about Samsung phones:
1. Best camera system
2. Secure Folder
3. Plenty of useful features like scrolling screenshots, screen recording with support for front camera, separate app sound, etc.
4. S-Pen
5. Goodlock modules for ease of use and customizations.
6. Built-in dialer with silent call recording support
7. Fast software updates
Here are some things that I wish they implement:
1. Built-in Firewall
2. AppLock
3. Multiple Users
4. Superfast charging
5. Improved cooling systems for better gaming experience

I find stock Android too basic. And the so-called clean software does not translate to better performance or battery life. So what is the point?
If you haven't used other brands, you're likely missing out on many useful features.

That's perfectly fine. Whatever works for you.

None. I really detest notches and punch hole cutouts.
The trend for all screen phones has passed by now, unfortunately.
Only options today for an all screen phone are gaming phones, which are too tacky in design, or China only phones with an under display camera.

Everyone needs a phone today. No phone is perfect. We choose one that fits into our requirements the best.
In this hypothetical case, budget isn't a constraint. So the only consideration is the overall experience of using the phone.

For me having a hole or notch completely kills the experience, so I'll stick to my Poco F2 Pro, with its pop-up front camera, for as long as possible.
If you'd have asked a couple of years back, I'd have opted for the Asus Zenfone 8 flip, and if Asus had continued with the flip camera design that would be my answer now.

I use face unlock as my primary unlock method, so a phone with a popup camera or a rotating rear camera would be too slow for me. I never liked the notch, but the punch hole is small enough to not bother me. Everyone gets used to it.
But to each his own.

Google Pixel 7 Pro would be a great upgrade for me from Pixel 6a as I love the Stock Android that Pixel devices have, their cameras are on another level especially with the Gcam and getting latest software updates! Battery Life is also absolutely amazing on Pixel 6a and I'm sure its even better on the Pixel 7 Pro!
Moreover, I love the design on Pixel 7 Pro!
