Delivered today (well, to Parcel Motel anyway), so essentially next day delivery.

Hoping PM get it out to me overnight, otherwise it's Monday :-(

Worse still, I was home all day so could have had it in my hands right now.

So cool!

The lads are moving all my stuff over, fair play to them :pac:

Compared to my 5t the 6t with the supplied case feels like a bit of brick.
Not sure what to make of the notch.
That's as far as I am so far so I suppose I'll get use to them.
Nav bar is a lot lower

And lastly for now Android 9 reminds me of apple software.

I'm on 3h 50m screen time with 66% battery left. Wow!!

Amazon have the official red silicon case for £10 for pre order. It's way more on the official site.

Whats the verdict on the fingerprint sensor? Its putting me off tbh. Wish the 6 could still be got direct from OnePlus.

Can still get the 128gb 8gb on Amazon France for around €535, thinking of getting it over the 6T myself

Only got it last night.

So far I don't think you can rely on the fingerprint scanner. Face unlock is pretty good though.

gar · 10-11-2018 2:31pm

29 hours since full charge, 16% left.
Screen on time 5h 20m.

Face unlock support fast and the finger print scanner pretty good

For those who have one, hows the camera? Saw some talk that its a step back from even the Nexus 6P which is a good few generations old at this stage.

I'm very happy with the camera, especially the night mode feature

The audio from all apps is only playing though the left speaker. Is this the case for anyone else?

Ah yes, the dual grill threw me off. The right side is just for the mic. Thanks.

GustavoFring · 11-11-2018 12:15pm

Just pulled the trigger on an 8/128 midnight black 6T.

Coming from a pixel 2 and p20 pro I know the camera will be a notch down but seems to be more than good enough for me. Pace of the thing was the quencher.

EagererBeaver · 11-11-2018 12:17pm

I'm in two minds here. Held out on getting the 6 as I didn't really need it. Still don't need the 6T but that battery is soooooo tempting. I could definitely hold out until the 7 but then I'd be worried about them going back to a smaller capacity battery ffs.

I'd wait if you really don't need it.

Out of curiosity why would you change phone so quickly?

5star02707 · 12-11-2018 1:17pm

Keep in mind OnePlus allows you 14/15 days to return the phone if you're not satisfied with it

have 2 weeks to decide

davo2001 · 12-11-2018 2:18pm

Looks like they are releasing the purple one in 3 days, not a fan of the colour myself but they should have released it along with the other ones on launch day.

davo2001 · 12-11-2018 2:22pm

I'm pretty impressed with the battery so far:

mslise · 13-11-2018 10:23pm

Can I ask guys how is the phone with the likes of 4g? I have a oneplus 5 and can never get 4g and have been through all the forums. So wanted to make sure it was working well in Ireland before buying the 6t.
I'm with Eir at the moment.

I'm with Eir, 4G works fine on my OP6T.

mslise · 13-11-2018 11:11pm

thanks, fo the reply davo2001. I feel a bit better at the thoughts of getting the 6t now. How would you rate the phone yourself? I've been with oneplus since the +1 and didn't like the idea of changing over

I'm happy with them, although the price has increased since the OPO which was what initially attracted me to them.

Dispite what you see online, there support is fairly good, I had to replace my OP3 after a few months with a battery issue, all done and dusted in 5 days.

Updates are fairly consistant and the phones are well built. Although the OP6T is not IP rated offically, I've already dropped it in the bath for a few seconds and haven't had any issues with it, I do miss the notification LED but you can get this from apps on the play store anyways.

Darren 83 · 14-11-2018 12:08pm

How are people finding it on the eir network? Any issues with 4g?

GustavoFring · 14-11-2018 8:43pm

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.

Ranjo · 15-11-2018 12:15pm

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?

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)

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.

EletricMan · 15-11-2018 8:05pm

Anyone get insurance? If so with who?

GustavoFring · 17-11-2018 12:43am

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.

None at all? I almost bought the Mrs a purple one earlier today.

All in stock on the OP site?

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

Why wouldn't it?

Morpork · 18-11-2018 11:08pm

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.

shakencat · 19-11-2018 8:49am

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.

I must admit the purple colour is great looking

bigslick · 20-11-2018 2:49am

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!!!!!
