OnePlus 6T: This is what happens when you teach an old phone new (design) tricks.

The OnePlus 6T Review presents the device as an incremental update with a focus on design refresh and value. Marques Brownlee highlights a larger 6.4 inch display with a 2340x1080 resolution, noting the slightly smaller chin and the teardrop notch which preserves the front camera while freeing up more notification space at the top. He discusses the new under-display fingerprint reader and explains its speed is noticeably faster than previous generations but not as instant as established physical sensors. Battery life is a major improvement over the OnePlus 6, with a 3700 mAh cell delivering consistently strong screen-on time and the familiar fast charging capabilities. The 6T keeps the same camera hardware and software foundation as the 6, benefiting from software HDR improvements and a newly introduced night mode, while dropping the headphone jack to accommodate the larger battery and under-display tech. Overall, the 6T is pitched as the best value in the line, offering double the base storage at the same price and continuing OnePlus’s reputation for speed and smooth software experiences. The review closes with a balanced recommendation that, despite the lack of major novelty, the 6T remains a compelling, polished option at a competitive price.
