Oneplus 6T

Quite Disappointed with OP. They've gone and priced themselves out of their own market.

Here in SG it is $900 (R9000). For the same price i can get a Mate 20, S9+, Note 9, P20 Pro... so why should i pick OP over all of these, the vanilla experience, perhaps so, but surely that can't be the only factor :/

Ouch. After trying to undercut the big guys, they've now grown into a "big guy" themselves?
 
Yeah exactly, not to mention they've gone back on their "core" values by listening to consumers.
80% of OP users still used the headphone jack, its now removed. Its not really he flagship killer it was once dubbed, its more a flagship alternative now. Pity.

Edit: Don't mistake my disappointment/negativity towards the 6T, i still thing the OP6 is great device but as flagships start to take bigger strides, OP are starting to show their age.

Why's it so much in SG though? Buy from Oneplus direct. Starts at $549...

Same as SA : Tax and markup. If you order direct from OP then you get no warranty, even then it still works out to about S$750 + 7% import, total of S$812. with the prices below it includes 1 year local warranty.
  • OnePlus 6T mirror black 6GB RAM/128GB - S$898
  • OnePlus 6T mirror black 8GB RAM/128GB - S$988
  • OnePlus 6T midnight black 8GB RAM/128GB - S$988
  • OnePlus 6T midnight black 8GB RAM/256GB - S$1,088

I think it's a fair trade off. Larger battery, 23% larger is quite significant. Cutting edge technology in the form of the in-screen fingerprint reader. That's OP taking a flagship matching/beating bigger stride. They've included the usb-c to 3.5mm headphone adapter so although jack is gone it doesn't make your wired headphones redundant.

For me it's in the camera department where a tangible gap in quality exists. IP ratings, UHD res screens and wireless charging are nice to haves but more for bragging rights than for actual usability.

Battery is only 12% larger. They stated 23% better battery life though...

If it's too expensive I might reconsider, but as of right now I want!!

Ya i know you get an adapter, but that's not what OP is all about, they are meant to be about the consumer and 80% of the OP consumer still used the headphone jack.

Anyway i think its certain markets were they have shot themselves in the foot (e.g SG) but for SA they are still fantastic value for money when you compare the price of other phones.

I think it's complaining for the sake of complaining tbh. I can understand if the usb port couldn't be used for anything other than charging, forcing consumers into using bluetooth headphones but we all know that's not the case. 100% of the 80% that still use the headphone jack, can continue doing so via the usb-c adapter...

EDIT: I think you'd find, if polled, that 80% of consumers would want higher capacity batteries too... It's give and take...

The reason OP dropped the headphone jack is because they didn't want a chin at the bottom, and needed the space for the optical fingerprint sensor. They also said the extra space allowed them to increase the battery size, although I don't believe that.
 
Wrong, see the Vivo Nex, 4000mAh battery, headphones jack on top, in screen finger print. The One plus 6T is a rebranding of the Oppo phone. There is no such thing as "there was no space for a headphone jack" ever.

You cannot notice the lower res screen. Read up on Retina display and what ppi they are and you'll understand. ;) Not that this phone is Retina but it doesn't matter that it's 1080p.

I tend to notice slightly jagged text on WhatsApp at 1080P vs. 1440P it drives me nuts. That's why my Note8 and Mate 20 Pro are set to 1440P all the time.

I have used a friend's OnePlus 3T, I still rate that an awesome device, but the Display is still an issue for me.

How do you guys plan on getting the 6T?

AliExpress?

This is an excellent question. I got my 3T from them, but these days using SAPO gives me the heebie-jeebies. Perhaps a group buy via a courier (or our own Scott)?

Would it be worth waiting for Black Friday, or is that a consumer trap?

Same. Even on pics a 1440p screen looks crisper.
Mostly noticable on text though.
 
I rate the OP6 is still the best, Im defiantly not going to upgrade maybe when the 7 comes out and it has a better screen but as of now... I don't think the OnePlus 6t has much to offer, i prefer a normal finger print reader also that new in display finger print reader seems to much...
