Huawei Mate 20 Lite to come in at least two variants news
Assuming this issue isn’t localised to my experience, OnePlus can easily rectify this with a software update. HDR support meanwhile, will likely have to wait for a future device. The OnePlus 6 was our first taste of a notched screen from the company, with the 6T, the notch is less-intrusive and far more aesthetically pleasing. Similarly to the Oppo F9 or the ‘dewdrop’ notch found on the Huawei Mate 20, the top bezel of the phone features a small rounded divot that neatly conceals its 16-megapixel front-facing camera and earpiece.
The 6T does support face unlock but this is solely achieved using that single RGB camera and thus far less secure than the IR dot projection method used by the likes of Apple’s Face ID. Thankfully, while you still have the option of face unlock, you’re not limited to it. In a play that keeps the 6T as part of the cutting-edge smartphone crowd, the phone also integrates an in-display fingerprint sensor. A stylised fingerprint icon appears on the lock screen when you lift the phone up and after a firm press, the phone unlocks as you’d expect. The feature sounds cool, but it isn’t perfect and I put that down to the infancy of the technology on offer rather than any failing on OnePlus’ part. The previous phone’s rear-mounted solution was undoubtedly faster but it added seams to the design and it would seem that OnePlus considered that a problem, or simply antiquated.

The concealed optical sensor is definitely a touch less reliable than its predecessor, but it feels very cool to use. Right now you can customise the animation that goes along with the unlocking process and OnePlus has alluded to implementing a special shortcuts menu, accessed by continuing to hold your thumb on the screen as you unlock the 6T – a feature that’s yet to be implemented but I hope gets pushed to the phone soon. Related: Best Android Phones OnePlus 6T – Performance The ‘T’ series phones, like Google’s Pixel phones, come at an awkward time if you’re after the latest and greatest mobile processor on the market. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset at the heart of the OnePlus 6T is an undeniable powerhouse, that’s featured in nearly every 2018 flagship Android phone but it’s about to be supplanted. With Qualcomm’s upcoming Tech Summit scheduled for early December, we’ll likely get eyes on the 845’s replacement, with phones sporting this flagship chip by Easter 2019.

That’s still a few months away but just knowing it’s on the cards sours the use of an 845 ever so slightly. Back in the moment, the OnePlus 6T is anything but a weakling. The phone performed excellently during our competitive benchmarking tests. All results achieved using a OnePlus 6T with 8GB of RAM With real-world use that means faultless fluid performance. Whether you’re swiping around, streaming video, multitasking or gaming the OnePlus 6T is more than powerful enough.
Speaking of gaming, OnePlus has augmented gaming performance with its dedicated gaming mode. It’s similar to experiences on rival smartphones, not only letting you manage call and notification behaviour but also limiting the background network usage of other apps and optimising CPU, GPU and memory performance each time you launch a game. You could turn the feature off if you wanted and you have fine-grain control over how it behaves but for the most part, it’s best left to do its thing.
Another fire-and-forget feature adjacent to gaming mode is OnePlus’ Smart Boost functionality. Buried away in the phone’s settings menu (under ‘OnePlus Laboratory’) and enabled by default, Smart Boost analyses your usage and starts to proactively reallocate memory resources to help keep the phone feeling fast.
