Apple iPhone 8 review: Telephony, loudspeaker, notable apps

Unless you’re after a specific tone to your photos that doesn’t look like the below images, you’ll be more than happy with the lenses on the 6T. You might need to click to view the below gallery externally, or use the arrows to scroll: The phone can record video up to 4K at 60fps but most people won’t do this given the overkill (and file size), but the capability is there if you want it. Stabilisation isn’t as good as on the Pixel line but it’s pretty impressive and means the 6T is a phone you can completely rely on as a point and shoot camera and video camera, no question. Battery life The 6T has a 3700mAh battery, on the higher side for an Android flagship in 2018. Thankfully the payoff for making the phone a bit thicker for this reason is outstanding battery performance. Between charges we without fail got at least four hours screen on time with heavy use, and more often than not were pushing six. If you needed convincing on why to plump for the 6T above others, battery life is one of the main reasons.

Even using the phone to hotspot a laptop for most of a day didn’t run the battery down and we went to bed on about 20%. It’s a notable improvement that we personally don’t mind swapping for no headphone jack (there, we said it!). Pie with all the trimmings OnePlus’ OxygenOS skin over Android 9 Pie is very accomplished and probably our favourite Android version along with Google’s on the Pixel 3. Our review unit arrived with OxygenOS 9.0 but immediately pushed us an update to 9.0.3 that improved screen unlock, added navigation gestures and fixed some bugs. We like how the 6T lets you use Google’s Pie navigation system, OnePlus’ own swipe gestures (which we prefer) or switch back to the traditional Android navigation buttons. This is customisation you can’t get even on a Pixel 3, and we love the 6T for it. It doesn’t have wireless charging, proper waterproofing or a headphone jack but the software is truly outstanding for Android enthusiasts and novices alike. The customisation options are easy to get used to and the OnePlus 6T is one of the most pleasingly individualistic phones you can buy at the moment because of this. Additions like granular controls for gaming mode that stops notifications and locks brightness are the sort of thoughtful changes to Android that we approve of – there if you need them, but completely out of the way and silent if you don’t. Verdict The OnePlus 6T is the best OnePlus phone yet along with the now-defunct OnePlus 6. It’s the first OnePlus phone without a headphone jack, but it is also the one with the best battery life, speaker, display and cameras.

Compared to the rest of the market the cheapest model is still very competitive and this is a no-brainer purchase if you are looking to buy outright. Performance is as fast as the Pixel 3 and the flavour of Android is one we might even prefer to Google’s own. If you really want a headphone jack, waterproofing and wireless charging you’ll look elsewhere but we are able to look past all three omissions (ones that are shared with many other phones that cost more) and can recommend the OnePlus 6T to anyone looking for a well-priced, flagship spec Android phone.
