OnePlus 6T vs. OnePlus 6: Small but Big Changes

Danny Zepeda 2 years ago

OnePlus is back with its mid-cycle update with the OnePlus 6T, the follow up to the OnePlus 6. With the mid-cycle update, OnePlus usually just upgrades a couple of features but keeps the overall design and specs of the phone the same. It’s very much the same story with its most recent update. With that in mind, let’s see how the OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 6 compare. There are two key...

OnePlus 6T Leak Erases All the Mystery From the Upcoming Flagship

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

The OnePlus 6T will be the next major flagship to be released in 2018 and for the most part we know just about everything about the phone. According to the new leak from MySmartPrice, the OnePlus 6T is going to be available in two storage options: 128GB and 256GB. The two options will come with 6GB of RAM and 8GB of RAM, respectively. The latest leak essentially solidifies the fact...

OnePlus 6T Release Date Revealed and It's Arriving Sooner Than You Think

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

The OnePlus 6T is one of the worst kept secrets in mobile. We already know how it looks and when it’ll be announced, and now we know when it’ll be available: November 6. First reported by The Verge, OnePlus has confirmed that following the October 30 event in which the OnePlus 6T will be unwrapped, it’ll be available to customers starting November 6.

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Now that the Pixel 3 XL is here, we’re comparing it to some of the best Android smartphones around right now. In this particular round, we’re seeing how it compares to the OnePlus 6. The Pixel 3 XL and OnePlus 6 are cut from the same cloth. Sure, there are some differences, but overall, they are very similar devices. From the large displays with the notch to the glass and metal design...

LG V40 ThinQ vs. OnePlus 6: Which Android Flagship is Better?

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

In releasing the V40 ThinQ, LG took a very similar path as OnePlus when it released the OnePlus 6 earlier this year. LG and OnePlus both went from a standard and impressive device (V30 and 5T) to one that adopts the current design fads of the notch. As a result, both companies went with the trends instead of trying to differentiate themselves. Some will hate this while others won’t...

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

OnePlus has begun rolling out the OxygenOS 9.0 update that allows its customers to completely customize Android Pie 9.0. The update comes a month after the official release of Android Pie, borrowing many of its elements and expanding upon them with cool customizations.

iPhone XS vs. OnePlus 6: Is Double The Price That Much Better?

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

Now that the iPhone XS has been announced, we thought we’d pit it against one of the more impressive smartphones available right now. It’d be easy to compare against Samsung’s flagships, which we did, but we also wanted to see how it compares against another underrated phone: the OnePlus 6. The two phones fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. The iPhone XS is uber premium, with an...

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

Just before its next flagship arrives, OnePlus would like you to purchase its last flagship. Now you should pick up the OnePlus 6 if you’ve been waiting for the right deal. OnePlus just went live with discounts on bundles that include accessories like cases, chargers, cables, and earbuds. The discounts aren’t too steep, but your potential savings are attractive considering all the...

Galaxy Note 9 vs. OnePlus 6: Which One is Better?

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

With Samsung taking the wraps off the Galaxy Note 9, we thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to put it against one of the best and most popular Android flagships around—the OnePlus 6. Looking at the Note 9 and OnePlus 6, the similarities are uncanny. Each features the same industrial design that’s popular with smartphones. That matter is exacerbated by the similar dual-camera system...

Please OnePlus, Give the OnePlus 6 More Time

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

Leading up to the OnePlus 6, we’ve seen OnePlus champion itself as the underdog. That’s exactly why news of 1 million units being sold in about three weeks seemed like a big deal. It’s the fastest-selling OnePlus phone ever, but don’t lose yourself in that number so quickly. Looking at OnePlus as an underdog is two-sided. You should be impressed that word-of-mouth got it this far,...

Best OnePlus 6 cases

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

OnePlus makes the least expensive flagship around, but it still uses premium materials. The brand actually completed a big switch from aluminum to glass in 2018. Rather than having an all-metal body, the OnePlus 6 includes a lot of glass. Both the front and back of OnePlus’ latest flagship are made from glass while the frame stays aluminum. With the transition, the OnePlus 6 is more...

Get the OnePlus 6 in red later this month

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

OnePlus announced that its 2018 flagship will soon be sold in red. The new color, which will join the rotation for a limited time later this month, looks more neutral than anything else. OnePlus admits the shade isn’t very bright. The brand wanted to find a cozy place between visual and tactile. So to do that, OnePlus implemented an “amber-like” appearance that features depth and...

Best OnePlus 6 screen protectors

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

The OnePlus 6 is beautiful, but it’s far from indestructible. It’s probably not a good idea to rely on Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 alone. While that may deflect some light brushes from coarse or sharp objects, your phone is still wide open to collecting scratches and even shattering. You should pick up a screen protector for the OnePlus 6. That’ll keep the glass in mint condition as if...

OnePlus is making bold promises about software updates

Justin Herrick 3 years ago

OnePlus hasn’t been too reliable when it came to software updates, but in recent years we’ve seen the brand work hard to roll out new versions of Android as well as security patches to its devices. So its customers have been able to enjoy the latest, most secure version of Android without any software overlay to make that meaningless. Now there’s actually a plan in place to ensure...

OnePlus 6 face unlock can be easily fooled with printed pictures

Danny Zepeda 3 years ago

The OnePlus 6 looks like it is one of the best fantastic flagships released this year, just don’t trust its face unlock feature. OnePlus introduced the biometric feature last year with the OnePlus 5 (and later with the OnePlus 5T), yet it seems a year later that it is just as easy to fool with the OnePlus 6 using regular printed pictures of a face. First reported by 9to5Google, Twitter...
