One Plus 6T Discussion Thread

dan786 · 07-10-2018 1:14pm #1

Hey folks,

So this is being announced in next 24 hours as per their Facebook and Twitter page.

Its pretty obvious whats different in this ie no headphone jack, smaller notch, in screen fingerprint.

Anyone actually planning to get one.

Edit: False alarm, the announcement today seems to be the announcement of the launch event, which is on 30th.

cargo · 07-10-2018 1:31pm

I was thinking of going for a OP6 for the past while. I currently have a 3T but I said I'd hang on to see what the 6T brings.

If the price jumps a fair bit I would go back to looking for a OP6 (stock getting low on sites) but as usual in 12 months time I'll still have teh 3T and be thinking of an upgrade :-)

From what I have read there might be a 20£ increase in price from last year. Might end up being 20/30e here.

They are announcing in quickly just to get it a day before the Pixel 3 announcement on Tuesday (which already is being sold in HK with videos on Youtube). Normally there would be a announcement date weeks in advance.

OldMrBrennan83 · 07-10-2018 2:14pm

This is early isn't it? Nice one.

What is it like these days for stock levels? Like if I wait and see what happens in NY on Tuesday and not jump straight away how likely am I to have to wait to order?

EletricMan · 07-10-2018 2:18pm

Still using my OnePlus 2. Was going to get a new 6 but decided to wait for the 6T.

xtal191 · 08-10-2018 12:21am

Any idea what time this will be announced tomorrow?

dan786 · 08-10-2018 6:17am

They said after 24 hours at 1pm yesterday so assuming 1pm. I hope the announcement is not the actual announcement for the launch event date but the phone itself. I dont see them holding a big event though as its a T model.

shakencat · 08-10-2018 6:23am

Anyone have a rough idea of a price? 600+?

Not anymore, no jack no reason for me to buy. Yes they will have a usb dongle but they are never the same and you cant charge and use it at the same time. Perhaps next time (if they return the jack)

OldMrBrennan83 · 08-10-2018 6:38am

You can get headphones that play over Bluetooth and don't have a cable these days.

Ardennes1944 · 08-10-2018 6:51am

Im pretty sure it is to be announced 17th October, I think today they will just be giving the official date for launch

I'd say so too. none of the Android sites are billing this as anything more than announcement of a date and they've probably had the 6T for a while now under embargo so they'd know the launch date.

Just read an article there now, yeah seems to be the case. Why announce an announcement time for launch event when its already known though.

Ah well 17th is not too far.

Although I now see on places like android headlines that it could actually be the release and that they arent doing a proper launch for it, who knows!

dan786 · 08-10-2018 7:49am

I dont really see a point of an event. The phone is exact same apart from 3 changes that they have already advertised. So dont really see the need for an actual event.

OldMrBrennan83 · 08-10-2018 7:50am

Do they ever do an event for the T's?

Might just be announcing today that you can buy from the 17th.

They had a Youtube press event for 5T.

My thoughts exactly. We shall see in 5-6 hours

5star02707 · 08-10-2018 9:58am

let's see if it's worth upgrading else i'll wait for the 7t

dan786 · 08-10-2018 12:59pm

Tickets for the event now on sale on the site. In New York. Ah well bit more wait. 30th October.

5star02707 · 15-10-2018 12:37pm

OP 6t will now be available to EE and Vodafone customers in the UK

http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2018/10/oneplus-has-officially-made-it/

now i wonder would that offer apply here in Ireland as well? They won't be unlocked so would be great to purchase it on pay as you go

davo2001 · 15-10-2018 3:32pm

Would be interested in this phone, bought the Oneplus one when it launched, and then the Oneplus 3. I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade and to treat myself.

dan786 · 24-10-2018 11:11am

Just for anyone that didnt see, the launch event for this has been changed to one day earlier. Monday 29th.

I'll be buying but going to wait for the red one.

breeno · 26-10-2018 11:59am

No updates to the rear camera on the 6 which wasn't even competing with the flagships to begin with. Disappointing.

5star02707 · 26-10-2018 12:36pm

Will have to wait for 7t then

It's half the price of some of the flagships. The camera is one of the biggest areas where they can cut cost.

I fully agree. I'm assuming this will be competing with the new S10. How much will one of those cost to buy new with 8GB Ram and 256GB of storage? A hell of a lot more than €600 anyway.

breeno · 26-10-2018 12:50pm

Agree on the cost arguments compared to the big names but Xiaomi and Huawei are producing superb camera tech for the same price and often cheaper than Oneplus.

EagererBeaver · 26-10-2018 12:59pm

The top new Huawei mate 20 costs well over 1000 quid.

breeno · 26-10-2018 1:20pm

I'm aware of that but the mate 10 pro can be bought for 400 these days and it's camera is streets ahead of the oneplus. Same goes for Huawei sub brand Honor.

Oneplus put their eggs in the performance basket and admittedly the devices absolutely fly but they could definitely do more in the camera department even at their price point.

Personally, I might wait for reviews of the 6t and Mi Mix 3 and maybe the Honor Magic 2 before deciding.

The Mate 10 Pro has a poorer processor, less ram and less storage. It's a year old so of course it will have fallen in price but at launch it was €800+ wasn't it?

You're being pedantic now. Let's talk xiaomi mi 8,mi mix 3 etc. The point stands that oneplus camera tech is a tad disappointing considering the standard of the rest of the phone. I know something has to give for the price but it doesn't necessarily have to be the camera.

Both good options. I was looking at the Mi 8 today alright at €390 from Gearbest. Another one that caught my eye was the Meizu 16 although that's slightly dearer.

davo2001 · 26-10-2018 1:49pm

Is it looking that only a 128GB version will be sold? Or will there be an option for 64GB, (i know no one knows for sure, just looking for opinions)

The point is that if they bump up the camera, something else would suffer, e.g. performance.

breeno · 26-10-2018 3:02pm

Yes and my point is that for a small (probably not even noticeable) reduction in performance they could pump additional resources into the camera.
The RAM/performance arms race is a bit unnecessary as proven by the 4gb in the Pixel 3. Xiaomi are talking about a 10gb RAM phone shortly. It's a bit OTT!
I'm still holding out hope for some software & post processing improvements in the camera as it looks a nice device.

Does the Pixel not have issues with apps closing and dropping out of memory in the background. Nearly sure I was reading about that last week?

TitianGerm · 26-10-2018 4:45pm

Apparently £499 will be the base price but the storage starts at 128GB instead of 64GB.

blade1 · 27-10-2018 1:03pm

Would it be worth upgrading from my 5t?

Also if I was selling mine what would be a fair price?
Its the 8gb one and is 11 months old in excellent condition.
The cheapest one on adverts seems to be €425.
That seems too steep, no?
I would have thought around 350 would be more like it.

Ill be upgrading from the 5. See how much CEX will give you for your 5t, much less hassle than selling on Adverts.

I've sold a few phones and other stuff on adverts and have never had a problem.
As long as you don't rise to the trolls and time wasters I think it's fine.
I actually sold a 5t on it last December after the screen got smashed after having it 10 days. :eek:
Thinking the phone was in bits I ordered a new one and then sent back the old one and they repaired it(had it back in 4 days I think)so I then sold it.

Oh I know there's no hassle but if he's wanting a quick sale and avoid all the "swap for iPhone 5 and cash my way" CEX will be much easier.

A store you walk into or online?
Never heard of them.

By jingo it is :pac:

CEX is like a pawn shop. Loads on Boards use them, especially selling games etc as they give better values to GameStop.

Just go in, they'll test the phone and pay you your money. You can see what it's worth on the website before you go in.

Leaked specs are disappointing... pretty much the same camera setup as the 5, 5T and 6.

Think I'll hold onto my 5T for a while yet!
