Phone arrived today around lunchtime so haven't played around with it too much yet.

Performance is fast, definitely the fastest and smoothest Android I've used. Trying out the gestures, bit glitchy but that's probably user error.

Screen size is great, the little tweaks over stock are the ones I missed most. Nylon case feels good in the hand, a bit slippery but the sides offer a little bit extra grip.

One of the lads at work had his delivered yesterday: as a long-time iPhone user gotta say that the fingerprint scanner in the screen is impressive. Funny that Apple could not get it sorted last year and OnePlus could.

The phone looks amazing from what I have seen so far and far far more advanced than iPhone (and I am well sucked into iOS)

I've googled and searched in settings but cannot find how to set the phone to silent or vibrate only.

I can only see "do not disturb" which turns off notifications completely. I've tried the option "No sound from notifications" in the Do Not Disturb settings, but it's not what I'm looking for, I still want the phone to ring & pop up anything on screen, just without sound and/or vibrate only.

Any pointers?

Use the slider above the power button to change between

Silent
Vibration
Ring

If you go to Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Alert Slider there are a couple of extra settings in there too.

How slippery is the 6T compared to the 5T?!

Less slippy.

Anyone get insurance? If so with who?

How are people finding the fingerprint sensor. Watching the reviews I thought it might be a little iffy but I've only had to rescan once so far.

After a couple of days the battery is great but I'm feeling it's a little short or my P20 Pro. Charging time is properly fast though.

Camera is a little meh. It's grand but nothing fantastic. Going to try out the Google camera apk.

The speed though is what makes this. Really snappy, iOS levels of smoothness.

All in stock on the OP site?

I presume the fingerprint scanner will work fine with PayPal, revoult etc?

Why wouldn't it?

The only app I found the fingerprint scanner interferes with is the AIB app. The quick balance button gets covered by it if you have login with fingerprint turned on.

I think you were looking at the oneplus 6, not 6T?

Speaking of which you can get the 128gb 8gb 6 delivered for just under €470 on Amazon Germany, its a much much better deal than the 6T imo

It's not a better deal of you want a 6T though.

Apologies! Don't know where or what I was looking on!!

Anyone know if the cases are the same shape as the one plus 3/3t?
Also, are the cases for sale on the website as good as otter box?

They are not. Sure, it's a different phone with different dimensions.

xtal191 · 19-11-2018 12:53pm

I must admit the purple colour is great looking

Pity its covered by black covered:o:(

Very tempted by this, but finding it hard to justify the upgrade from my current daily, HTC U11+. Bit more ram, more screen ratio and 845 versus 835. Not even sure if camera on 6T is better as no clear comparison.

Dam you sexy Oneplus 6T, you temptress!!!!!

You're phone is still fine, I'd wait for the 7 if I was you or see what their new 5G phone will be like when its announced at the start of 2019, although rumour is that will have a bump in price of 100+

shakencat · 20-11-2018 9:56pm

It actually looks fine in the case that comes with it, could cancel your amazon order if you're happy with the one included

Just a yellow DHL bag. You can make the box out inside and know it's a phone. The case was in the same bag wrapped in bubble wrap.
