Got a OnePlus 3 for about 1.5 years now. It's still super fast and the battery last around a day at least.. Best phone I ever bought. Prob gonna replace it when the OnePlus 7/7T is released
I accidentally broke the charge port on a old phone because I had a like 5 meter cable so you kinda forget the cable exists so one day I was holding my phone leaving my room and It yanked back and snapped it smarter now but haha wireless is cool but not Necessary
Really wish you guys would stop referring to oneplus as a start up. People didn't call scion cars a start up. It was part of Toyota. Oneplus is part of BBK which owns vivo and oppo. It gives them a scapegoat when they do something wrong. They didn't do anything wrong here but when they do...
You know its a Linus OnePlus review when there is no mention of battery life. (not criticizing, I think the last OnePlus review battery had no mention of battery life too)
One of the top comments recently was liked by LTT and he replied with something like "not bad, idle power management better than S9" so better than other flagships that's for sure
Is there really that much to say about battery life anymore? For the 1st month you own it, it'll be a day and a half to 2 days then it'll drop down to about 1 day. Just like every phone. Until something truly game changing happens with battery technology that's what your gonna get.
Idk y people r so into wireless charging. You are still chained to the cable that powers the charging pad. You can actually, like, make phone calls(non speakerphone), take photos, use finger print scanner(if on rear side), play games(that require gyro), watch videos(if laying down) with a plug-in cable because it's not stationary on the pad. As far as I know, a fast charging cable will always beat a wireless pad in terms of charging speed. Wireless charging increases the cost to make the phone. You also need to purchase a wireless charging pad. Anyone want to kindly enlighten me about the want/need for wireless charging?
I enjoy it, for me it's really just when I play video games. The cable that runs to the wireless charger is longer than my actual charger cable for my phone. I put it down near me and I can change the song that is playing and things like that. Also while I sleep sometimes
When you are used to wireless charging, it's really hard to go back. I have 4 of the same, all prop up the phone so its leaning vertical. One next to my bed, desk, desk at work and kitchen. You just place it on there and don't need to even think about it. Using a cable now just feels inconvenient now I'm used to wireless charging. There are also a lot of restaurants and cafes (mainly costa) which have wireless charging tables which is a nice plus.
I have to disagree with you on some points: 1. Always on screen. I am pretty sure that feature drains the battery more than OP liftup. 2. Wireless charging... Not so wireless when you have to put the phone in a specific location. Wired charging works the same. The only difference is the small effort of putting a type C into the phone. Is that really significant difference? The extra calories spent on a Cable Plug?? Instead, OP still have the fastest charging tech. And in my case when I am in airport and don't have time, I can actually play something and still charge the phone as fast. 3. IP 67 standard. Watch a teardown of the OP and see that it is very very very close to an IP 67 standard. IP certification costs money. OP is all about price reduction. 4. Small things like delay on gesture or the margin of the included protective foil. C'MON! 5. Iris scan vs face unlock. You complained about Iris scan yourself when reviewed the iPhone X.. and fingerprint scan works rly great and super fast. I don't think those small things on the list worth 300+ EUR/USD. The software on OnePlus is awesome. As stated on launch event the error rate of Oxygen OS is very very very low. I am using my OP 6 all day and doing a lot of unlocking and I still have some juice left in the evening. And, using small opportunities for a quick charge is awesome (30% a shower, 70% a lunch and 20-30% one of your vids). Otherwise, great and objective review Linus :)
I strongly agree with the Wireless Charging thing. What's the use of wireless charging if it's still sitting on a specific spot. I would go for a wired ultra fast charging 10/10.
Dandy Okta Not as good as iPhone's or Samsung, but seriously close to those. OIS 4K 60 FPS and slow motion is what completes the camera from previous models. For me the camera is fantastic.
While he did list all those as negatives, he did point out that none of them were "devastating deal breakers." He also said that if he didn't already have a S9+ and was looking to buy a phone he get the Oneplus 6.
So I saw Linus at the oneplus popup event in NY a few hours ago and this beautiful man was still wearing his socks/sandals combo, magical, do you Linus
Whats the point of wireless charging if you have to keep it on the table and can't use it😂 It would be better if we could move around using the device while its charging. That would be true wireless charging
For a very obvious reason. Have you ever tried to grab a cable, but it was a bitch that kept slipping out or was too thin? Have you ever tried to plug in a USB and realize it never goes in? Have you tried to plug in a phone in the dark? ALL of this is fixed and worth it and now for the biggest reason. YOU THROW the phone and it charges. You don't even have to look at the charging point. You can walk in the room and quite literally chuck the phone and it charges. You don't have to walk over plug it in and walk away. Wasted life.
1.) My monitor does not have a red led light, only blue for on(thank god). 2.) No light besides the main light. When I sleep I want it to be pitch dark. Even the windows are heavily curtained so moon light doesn't come in 3.) I'm not going out to buy glowing cables. 4.) ALL of these solutions are harder than just getting a wireless charging station or matt.
OnePlus is getting expensive day by day. As an OG OnePlus One guy, I would expect OnePlus to reduce the price. We don't want these massive London tech launch. OnePlus was made for geeks. Now it just seems another expensive phone brand.
The price is going up with each iteration sure, but that's true of all top shelf smartphones, its the cost vs its mainstream competitors that really matters. Still $300 cheaper then the S9 and half the price of an iPhone X. In all fairness, the Oneplus 1 was also $300 cheaper then the S5. So they've been getting more expensive at about the same rate.
I really appreciate your candor Linus. Yes, all new phones feel snappy! Then, they slow down over time. Nothing, new! And, what you said about software is awesome. I didn't know Android phone's didn't get the latest updates quickly. Good to know if I ever switch to one. Good luck in London and Cheers!
Not all phone suffer this fate like they used too though! My Oneplus phones have stayed snappy up until their replacement every few years! I'd put that down to it being nearly stock android, so the pixel devices are probably the same :)
yeah YT might figure out some day to prioritize such phenomenal channels' notifications up on your devices and if that eventually happens, i bet all top creators like Linus, MKBHD would atop other notifications
No external SD card will always be a deal breaker for me. Can't understand why a company will give that up for "dual sim" or something like that (other than just charge you a lot more for bigger in-store capacity). And yes, I know there are cloud solutions for that, but they are a lot more expensive than just buying a big capacity SD card.
Omri Ratson dual sim is a major selling point internationally because you can get super cheap massive data only packages outside na. I sim for voice, one for data. Similarly for people that travel a lot and swap carriers based on country like in the eu.
I've had my One plus 3 since august 2016 when it came out, it's been awesome to me. Updates have been super relevant, and very few significant issues with heavy daily use for almost 2 years. Saving up to get the 6 soon.
Does people still need a new flagship phone in this day and age though? When budget phones are nearly as good, and last year's flagships are significantly cheaper
Haven't got my hands on an Iphone X, but my dad has a samsung s9, I have a Xiaomi note 5 (SD636). The gaming experience on vast majority of games is identical on both phones. You may not have had a budget phone ever, but you can feel that even on a 2-3 years old flagships, most games are still running as smooth as a newer phone. New budget phones have the same processing power of 2-3 years old flagships. On top of that, the mobile game market has existed for a decade now. You have a massive number of games optimized for a mid-range of 5 years ago. There is not going to be a difference running those on any new phones. There are certainly new and heavy games that require a lot of processing power, but the number of people who actually want to play them on a phone is rather small compare to the overall phone market and there are PCs and consoles for real gaming.
I don't play intensive games on phones, the phones get hot quickly most of the time and gaming on a small screen where you have to put your hand on a part of it for control is not that great. I have a full-fledged desktop PC for that. Like i said, the number of people who actually buy a phone for heaving gaming is going to be small compared to the market, let alone buying a freaking flagship phone just for gaming. If you are too rich to care, then the Nintendo Switch is way better. Hell, If you buy a budget phone, you would still have enough money left to get yourself a Nintendo Switch and a few games with the money left.
My first OnePlus was the 5, almost a year ago. It is refreshing to have a device that is constantly getting updates and enhancements while maintaining excellent performance. I've not experienced this with Samsung, LG, Moto or Huawei devices I've owned in the last 2 years. Agree that you can't overstate the importance of excellent software development and delivery. Great video..
@linus why the hate in the notche? Specially when it’s not in a video. It just extends your screen by taking care of displaying battery life and what not.
I lost interest in phones after 2016. Phone manufacturers became so focused on shrinking bezels to the point where it was the highlight of their phones. I really don't care about bezels at all tbh.
Jozua86 Linus just answered that question in the last part of the video. And confirmed it later in a comment regarding battery life. OP is definitely worth sacrificing some small advantages of Samsung.
The non expandable storage is a dealbreaker for me. I'd still prefer the Motorola moto g6 plus which has a headphone jack, dual sim AND a micro sd card slot for under €300 retail. Not to mention the long battery life.
What do you need the removable storage for exactly? I just dump files onto my pc once a week and delete them off my phone. I dont think I could ever reasonably fill it up.
Anything xiaomi has to be imported in my country which means the warrenty isn't as good. My collegue has a redmi 4 (if I remember right) and it has a bunch of software bugs including not being able to pick up the phone if you're using it for something else at the moment the call comes in. To add to that I don't have a credit card as it would reduce the amount I could loan on a mortgage (and hardly any local store or webshop accepts them) and I tried paypal once and never again. And why a missing sd card slot is a dealbreaker for me is the fact I only clean up a phone when I'm replacing it with another so I use a 128gb sd card to dump everything on in the mean time. Basically I only use a phone as a phone, an email device, for whatsapp, for reading the news, for occasionally snapping pictures and for watching some youtube. When I get home I throw my phone out of my pocket and ignore it until the next day. I don't need a flagship phone but I really liked this one. All I really care about is a very snappy UI that doesn't get very slow over the course of a few months without maintenance. My ideal phone would be an iPhone that wasn't badly constructed with expandable storage, a UI that doesn't suck, has a headphone jack and that doesn't get firmware updates that brick the phone. I would even pay the rediculous price as they give 5 year updates. A google pixel 2 has 3 year updates but costs nearly 3 times as much as a motorola which would mean 3x2=6 years of updates for the same price. The oneplus being 3,5x as fast is irrelevant to me as I wouldn't notice in my usecase and paying more for stuff I wouldn't notice is not worth paying.
If I may ask what filles do you punt on your device that you need more than 120gb. Because I see a lot of people who need a lot of space and I can't figure out what takes up so much space on people's phones.
Lucas van Wijk No trust in cloud services, no data plan, recording every video in 4k and lack of maintenance will fill up your memory pretty fast. I also keep movies in the storage for the moments at work when there's nothing to do. But I when I look at features that old phones have and new ones don't (like my old Nokia could copy paste and the iphone couldn't) I would get irritated every time I'd need it. An sd card is also easy to replace so you won't have a note 4 situation where the tlc flash would grind to a halt after too many reads and writes.
It's a pity that always on displays and wireless charging are still not on every phone. My Nokia phones had always on display a decade ago, and wireless charging was part of my super affordable 200 USD Nokia Lumia 830 in 2014. I don't need glass backs, a plastic that doesn't break would make more sense to me...
Hey a quick Question - would yoo still consider buying the Samsung Note 8? The smartphone world is so quick and updates itself so quickly, but the Note 8 would be still top of the Line in my understanding? I really don't want a notch of any kind on my Smartphone and also I like that kind of display Size, like the Note 8 with 6,3 inches as far as I know. The wideangle, secondary camera is also espacially attractive for my usecases and it's quiet a bit cheaper than the S9+ here in Germany at about 620€. Is it now a great "deal"?
revan dewa putra Oh my fucking God can you stop typing "you can hide the notch". But then you lose a good portion of the screen, it loses all of izd purpose then
It doesnt though, the notchless oneplus 6 still has a better screen to phone ratio than most phone, WHILE STILL HAVING THE BATTERY,CLOCK,AND OTHER STUFF "INSIDE" THE BEZEL THAT U JUST MAKE TO HIDE THE NOTCH
in samsung, u either hide the infobar and has to swipe down, or have it below the bezel. In a notch phone where its hidden, you can have the infobar inside the bezel where it's always there :p
demonwares even though I hate the notch trend, I still rather have op6 than Samsung, because software wise Samsung is still unreliable. At least you can hide the notch with op6's software.
pay 150 less and get the OnePlus5 then. If you are unhappy about the lack of bloatware on that you can just ask a friend to install 50 shit apps for you
I really don't know why almost every TH-cam reviewer hype the OnePlus 6 since it is not much cheaper than a Galaxy S9 or S9+. Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone, but it's not that great price performer anymore since other flagship phones has a huge cut in the pricetag. E.g. you can get a S9 for 10 bucks more.
Online Shopping. No fake shops - but online shops. I don't know where you live, but at least in Germany the s9 price tag is comparable to the OnePlus6's. Countries with the currency € have similar price ranges. Yes the S9+ is more comparable in respect to the screensize but keep in mind that the s9 with its "infinity" edges has a big screen too. (5.8") Spec Wise I would absolutely compare the S9 with the OP6, especially with the sufficient size of the S9.
i guess it is more of a personal preference perhaps on the "infinity" edges you've mentioned. i could only say it is a bargain for the OP6 over the S9, because i would rather have the real "bigger" screen size and the extra features the S9 has doesn't really required by me so i wouldn't pay the extra money for that. if the extra features do actually required, then it is worth the extra money. so yea, personal preference. not here to argue, just suggestion. :D
lllllllllllll it's over $200 cheaper and faster with a high tier camera and a lag free os, with great customization. Plus it's sexy why wouldn't you hype it up?
4:50 I thought Linus was married.
Mustafa Ahmed he is, to the body pillow silly.
Exactly. Have you seen Yoko? Pheeeeeew.

Got a OnePlus 3 for about 1.5 years now. It's still super fast and the battery last around a day at least.. Best phone I ever bought. Prob gonna replace it when the OnePlus 7/7T is released
Same, but I think I'm gonna get the 6 or 6T next.
I just broke mine today 😢
Only one headphone side is working .rest it is the best phone
I accidentally broke the charge port on a old phone because I had a like 5 meter cable so you kinda forget the cable exists so one day I was holding my phone leaving my room and It yanked back and snapped it smarter now but haha wireless is cool but not Necessary
Same, my OnePlus 3 heats a bit while gaming but it's not too bad
What about battery life?
Really pleased so far. Idle power management MUCH better than my S9. Still using OP6 as daily driver for the moment.
yo linus but what about my babe the pixel 2xl
Alex Firdog Battery life is excellent, there's that and it only takes 5mins to charge.
Did Linus just love his own comment? Tf?

Really wish you guys would stop referring to oneplus as a start up. People didn't call scion cars a start up. It was part of Toyota. Oneplus is part of BBK which owns vivo and oppo.
It gives them a scapegoat when they do something wrong. They didn't do anything wrong here but when they do...

Wireless charging is a cool concept on paper but it doesn't come close in efficiency and affordability to regular cable charging. 100% agree.

Seriously is it too difficult to type out full words?
When you are used to wireless charging, it's really hard to go back. I have 4 of the same, all prop up the phone so its leaning vertical. One next to my bed, desk, desk at work and kitchen.

Looked like the video frame had frozen just a tab right at that point. 🙄
Anyone remember the days of the $250 oneplus 1? Yeah, I wish that was still a thing.
oneplus was never $250. The oneplus one was $350.
It was $250 on sale and had $300 regular price.
Still rocking my opo

$350 for the 64GB model, which is the only way to go ;)

So I saw Linus at the oneplus popup event in NY a few hours ago and this beautiful man was still wearing his socks/sandals combo, magical, do you Linus
6:37 Hi
Was that you smiling into the camera?
Whats the point of wireless charging if you have to keep it on the table and can't use it😂
It would be better if we could move around using the device while its charging. That would be true wireless charging
For a very obvious reason. Have you ever tried to grab a cable, but it was a bitch that kept slipping out or was too thin? Have you ever tried to plug in a USB and realize it never goes in? Have you tried to plug in a phone in the dark? ALL of this is fixed and worth it and now for the biggest reason. YOU THROW the phone and it charges. You don't even have to look at the charging point. You can walk in the room and quite literally chuck the phone and it charges. You don't have to walk over plug it in and walk away. Wasted life.
Brightly color doesn't help in the dark. Color only works in light. Kind of the definition of color, light waves.
1.) My monitor does not have a red led light, only blue for on(thank god).
2.) No light besides the main light. When I sleep I want it to be pitch dark. Even the windows are heavily curtained so moon light doesn't come in
3.) I'm not going out to buy glowing cables.
4.) ALL of these solutions are harder than just getting a wireless charging station or matt.
Limp Wibbler maybe you don't know how to properly insert your usb
Limp Wibbler and you just can't throw your phone and charge it it should be properly aligned

OnePlus is getting expensive day by day. As an OG OnePlus One guy, I would expect OnePlus to reduce the price. We don't want these massive London tech launch. OnePlus was made for geeks. Now it just seems another expensive phone brand.
Nishant Sethi it's more expensive then most flagships lolol LGs and Samsung are always discounted
Lumi you could have bought 2 OnePlus Ones for the price of one Samsung counterpart. OnePlus is no more that "Techy" brand.
The price is going up with each iteration sure, but that's true of all top shelf smartphones, its the cost vs its mainstream competitors that really matters. Still $300 cheaper then the S9 and half the price of an iPhone X.
In all fairness, the Oneplus 1 was also $300 cheaper then the S5. So they've been getting more expensive at about the same rate.
Another OnePlus X style phone would be great
Lumi Remember the s9 came out to be cheaper than the s8 at launch.

Not a good one, if I say so myself.

no shit...
nice name tho
Hey Linus. If you had to choose between OnePLus 6 and Honor 10 whitch one would you buy?
I really appreciate your candor Linus. Yes, all new phones feel snappy! Then, they slow down over time. Nothing, new!
And, what you said about software is awesome. I didn't know Android phone's didn't get the latest updates quickly. Good to know if I ever switch to one.
Good luck in London and Cheers!
Not all phone suffer this fate like they used too though! My Oneplus phones have stayed snappy up until their replacement every few years! I'd put that down to it being nearly stock android, so the pixel devices are probably the same :)
ricky v iPhone’s don’t slow down over time.
Not all phones slow down over time, most people upgrade every 2 years and honestly if it slows down in that time you got the wrong phone
8:26 for the gist of the video, thank me later
Watching on one plus 6 silk white ♥️ totally impressed with this beast
The first notification I click is this channel everytime :)
yeah YT might figure out some day to prioritize such phenomenal channels' notifications up on your devices and if that eventually happens, i bet all top creators like Linus, MKBHD would atop other notifications
Echo Dasher456 It has no SD card so that is faster in reading phone memory.
Here's your gold star!
No you don't. You just said this to get a like from Linus. Lame kid
No external SD card will always be a deal breaker for me.
Can't understand why a company will give that up for "dual sim" or something like that (other than just charge you a lot more for bigger in-store capacity).
And yes, I know there are cloud solutions for that, but they are a lot more expensive than just buying a big capacity SD card.
Omri Ratson dual sim is a major selling point internationally because you can get super cheap massive data only packages outside na. I sim for voice, one for data. Similarly for people that travel a lot and swap carriers based on country like in the eu.
It will stop being an issue when you get an internet connection and start using drive storage + streaming instead of downloading.
Julia J If you like to watch movies that aren't streamed 64gb is next to nothing.
same, for me is the sd card support, headphone jack and removable battery.
thats why i got a v20.
Otg cable and thumb drive. Problem solved.
Is there any over heating problems in oneplus 6? Thank you in advance...

I honestly love that the one plus is so good.
Oh well, I think I've seen this phone in your pocket!
Great video Linus, and great time in London !!
I'm thinking of getting this phone or an LG v30.Which one would probably be a better phone overall?
Nice dakimakura
she 14 but dat ass says 18
Surprised you weren't mugged waving £1000 worth of phone around on a London street.
Acerbane suprise you are an idiot
In broad daylight? In Whitechapel? I should think not!

I've had my One plus 3 since august 2016 when it came out, it's been awesome to me. Updates have been super relevant, and very few significant issues with heavy daily use for almost 2 years.
Saving up to get the 6 soon.
When you don't have three of the same phones, but your review gotta go out. 0:10
Herzensburger Lol the hands!
Does people still need a new flagship phone in this day and age though? When budget phones are nearly as good, and last year's flagships are significantly cheaper
Thanh Do Huu they're not nearly as good, try to game on a cheap phone and compare to iPhone X, u can't game well at all on a cheap phone.
Haven't got my hands on an Iphone X, but my dad has a samsung s9, I have a Xiaomi note 5 (SD636). The gaming experience on vast majority of games is identical on both phones.
You may not have had a budget phone ever, but you can feel that even on a 2-3 years old flagships, most games are still running as smooth as a newer phone. New budget phones have the same processing power of 2-3 years old flagships.
On top of that, the mobile game market has existed for a decade now. You have a massive number of games optimized for a mid-range of 5 years ago. There is not going to be a difference running those on any new phones.
There are certainly new and heavy games that require a lot of processing power, but the number of people who actually want to play them on a phone is rather small compare to the overall phone market and there are PCs and consoles for real gaming.
Thanh Do Huu it's the intensive games that see the biggest difference u probably just play casual games
I don't play intensive games on phones, the phones get hot quickly most of the time and gaming on a small screen where you have to put your hand on a part of it for control is not that great.
I have a full-fledged desktop PC for that. Like i said, the number of people who actually buy a phone for heaving gaming is going to be small compared to the market, let alone buying a freaking flagship phone just for gaming.
If you are too rich to care, then the Nintendo Switch is way better. Hell, If you buy a budget phone, you would still have enough money left to get yourself a Nintendo Switch and a few games with the money left.
Thanh Do Huu Nintendo switch isn't better switch legit has a worse CPU than a phone
I am debating this, the Galaxy s9, and iPhone 8 plus. I am looking for longevity...do you think this phone will last 2-3 years?

My first OnePlus was the 5, almost a year ago. It is refreshing to have a device that is constantly getting updates and enhancements while maintaining excellent performance. I've not experienced this with Samsung, LG, Moto or Huawei devices I've owned in the last 2 years. Agree that you can't overstate the importance of excellent software development and delivery. Great video..
Newest Trend: Notch at the top, so we can say every phone is "Top Notch"
Ha lol
My girl, Yoko!
@linus why the hate in the notche? Specially when it’s not in a video. It just extends your screen by taking care of displaying battery life and what not.
I lost interest in phones after 2016. Phone manufacturers became so focused on shrinking bezels to the point where it was the highlight of their phones. I really don't care about bezels at all tbh.
Carson Klein if we keep going the way we are by 2020 phones will just slabs of screen with either a notch or a really small forehead and chin bezels.
All these phones with notches really helped me out this year by narrowing down my choices.
UteZ you know you can hide it right? A bar appears across the top. Just like a notchless phone. I really don't understand the notch hate
UteZ ????? The notch can be hidden
Love the casio Android watch your wearing
How much did it cost you?
Linus is British?
*Illuminati* Confirmed
Can you do a bullets wireless review linus?
OMG. Oneplus is DA BEST!
Watching on my s9+
same
ya I will..
Same, and i buy me a OnePlus 6.😁
dogjoy more like get him a cookie 😂
games@glance peasant, I'm watching on iPhone X.
A better question would be: Is the OnePlus 6 worth the extra money compared to the S8+.
Jozua86 Linus just answered that question in the last part of the video. And confirmed it later in a comment regarding battery life. OP is definitely worth sacrificing some small advantages of Samsung.
It has a faster SoC (CPU, GPU, RAM, LTE, Wi-Fi receiver, etc combo) than the S8+ and doesn't have laggy TouchWiz.
Love this phone. I kept thinking about switching to the iPhone XR or 7t later this year but I got the A10 open beta and it's refreshing.
You can almost always get Samsung flagships for a discounted price the second they come out.
samtherat6 so does oneplus
Both of y'all gotta show me some sources
LeGoogle Chrome I got my s9 plus with free gear vr and remote !
vgf OnePlus never really does a discount because phone is already cheap. At most you'll probably get $20 off.
Khaffit If you don't like their ethics that much, you won't be able to buy pretty anything apart from over expensive, hand made, artisian shit.
I should be studying for finals rn buuuut now I have a 9 minute excuse not to
Erik same
Same
Should I get a Oneplus 6 or Samsung S8?
What happened to Tunnel Bear 🐻 😂😂

The non expandable storage is a dealbreaker for me. I'd still prefer the Motorola moto g6 plus which has a headphone jack, dual sim AND a micro sd card slot for under €300 retail. Not to mention the long battery life.
What do you need the removable storage for exactly? I just dump files onto my pc once a week and delete them off my phone. I dont think I could ever reasonably fill it up.
Anything xiaomi has to be imported in my country which means the warrenty isn't as good. My collegue has a redmi 4 (if I remember right) and it has a bunch of software bugs including not being able to pick up the phone if you're using it for something else at the moment the call comes in. To add to that I don't have a credit card as it would reduce the amount I could loan on a mortgage (and hardly any local store or webshop accepts them) and I tried paypal once and never again. And why a missing sd card slot is a dealbreaker for me is the fact I only clean up a phone when I'm replacing it with another so I use a 128gb sd card to dump everything on in the mean time.
Basically I only use a phone as a phone, an email device, for whatsapp, for reading the news, for occasionally snapping pictures and for watching some youtube. When I get home I throw my phone out of my pocket and ignore it until the next day. I don't need a flagship phone but I really liked this one. All I really care about is a very snappy UI that doesn't get very slow over the course of a few months without maintenance.
My ideal phone would be an iPhone that wasn't badly constructed with expandable storage, a UI that doesn't suck, has a headphone jack and that doesn't get firmware updates that brick the phone. I would even pay the rediculous price as they give 5 year updates. A google pixel 2 has 3 year updates but costs nearly 3 times as much as a motorola which would mean 3x2=6 years of updates for the same price. The oneplus being 3,5x as fast is irrelevant to me as I wouldn't notice in my usecase and paying more for stuff I wouldn't notice is not worth paying.
If I may ask what filles do you punt on your device that you need more than 120gb. Because I see a lot of people who need a lot of space and I can't figure out what takes up so much space on people's phones.
Lucas van Wijk No trust in cloud services, no data plan, recording every video in 4k and lack of maintenance will fill up your memory pretty fast. I also keep movies in the storage for the moments at work when there's nothing to do. But I when I look at features that old phones have and new ones don't (like my old Nokia could copy paste and the iphone couldn't) I would get irritated every time I'd need it. An sd card is also easy to replace so you won't have a note 4 situation where the tlc flash would grind to a halt after too many reads and writes.
gaatje niksan Ah oké yes that makes sense. Personally I use less then 20gb but I can see how people need extra room.
It's a pity that always on displays and wireless charging are still not on every phone. My Nokia phones had always on display a decade ago, and wireless charging was part of my super affordable 200 USD Nokia Lumia 830 in 2014. I don't need glass backs, a plastic that doesn't break would make more sense to me...
Hey Austin, this is *guys*
4:50 - that dakimakura ^_^
hey Linus, what watch do you wear in the review?
Bought it after this review😎🏋️♂️🏋️🏋️♀️
how is it? after 7 months.
The face unlock is great but I accidentally unlock the phone sometimes when I'm supposed to look at the notifications.
Sambhav Arora you can turn on the swipe to unlock as well.
Happens all the time on my s8
Rudy Loera But then I can't easily unlock my phone while I'm eating.
What about the OP2? How fast was it updated? Maybe you should mention that too...
The finger 0:10
At least you tried copying justin .Y

Hard Kore Cubing for us west coasters it's 9:10
Hey a quick Question - would yoo still consider buying the Samsung Note 8? The smartphone world is so quick and updates itself so quickly, but the Note 8 would be still top of the Line in my understanding? I really don't want a notch of any kind on my Smartphone and also I like that kind of display Size, like the Note 8 with 6,3 inches as far as I know. The wideangle, secondary camera is also espacially attractive for my usecases and it's quiet a bit cheaper than the S9+ here in Germany at about 620€. Is it now a great "deal"?
Are you in London?
BROADbean123 Gaming I swear I saw someone on the tube that looked just like him. Well perhaps it was!
He is
Notice all the muslims/arab people. Welcome to London!
SP I play a game called spot the white man 😂 and calm down everyone it is a joke
Det Dakimakura :))
Which is better over all & especially in camera ? *Honor 10 vs OnePlus6* ?
who came down here after seeing the waifu pillow?? XD
HAHAHHA
"Get it? It's a pun"
No I don't get it can someone explain where the pun is?
Oh, referring to the video title. I thought that was referring to Linus TechTips, the text that displays right before that...
Top Notch is the title of the video...
The oneplus has a notch...
I think that was the pun lol😂
Yep hence my reply
What is your opinion on oneplus6 vs honor 10 since you reviewed both of them?
Lmao Yoko xD
But it has a notch...
u can hide it
revan dewa putra Oh my fucking God can you stop typing "you can hide the notch". But then you lose a good portion of the screen, it loses all of izd purpose then
It doesnt though, the notchless oneplus 6 still has a better screen to phone ratio than most phone, WHILE STILL HAVING THE BATTERY,CLOCK,AND OTHER STUFF "INSIDE" THE BEZEL THAT U JUST MAKE TO HIDE THE NOTCH
in samsung, u either hide the infobar and has to swipe down, or have it below the bezel. In a notch phone where its hidden, you can have the infobar inside the bezel where it's always there :p
l0l
6:37 When ya gotta scratch but tryin' to be stealthy. XD
I really hate the notch. I hope it doesn't ever become a thing
Same the notch sucks
It already is a thing
Lisa Adler too late
Notches are awesome
Well... the Notch is still here lol
I'd pay $300 more just because the Samsung doesn't have the stupid notch
demonwares even though I hate the notch trend, I still rather have op6 than Samsung, because software wise Samsung is still unreliable. At least you can hide the notch with op6's software.
Michael Panggabean why unreliable?
Rich people eh? hehe
pay 150 less and get the OnePlus5 then. If you are unhappy about the lack of bloatware on that you can just ask a friend to install 50 shit apps for you
demonwares the notch is better than full chin and forehead I'd pay more to remove the chin #iPhoneXFTW
I use the gestures and i love that there still is a back button.
*I miss the TunnelBear*
Nice but still got a notch. My mi mix 2 top is notchless.
What phone should I get? S8+, s9+ or oneplus 6T?
I really don't know why almost every TH-cam reviewer hype the OnePlus 6 since it is not much cheaper than a Galaxy S9 or S9+.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone, but it's not that great price performer anymore since other flagship phones has a huge cut in the pricetag.
E.g. you can get a S9 for 10 bucks more.
lllllllllllll where'd you find it is only 10 bucks more. Also, never compare S9 to the OP6 as the competition on screen size alone should be the S9+
Online Shopping. No fake shops - but online shops. I don't know where you live, but at least in Germany the s9 price tag is comparable to the OnePlus6's. Countries with the currency € have similar price ranges.
Yes the S9+ is more comparable in respect to the screensize but keep in mind that the s9 with its "infinity" edges has a big screen too. (5.8")
Spec Wise I would absolutely compare the S9 with the OP6, especially with the sufficient size of the S9.
i guess it is more of a personal preference perhaps on the "infinity" edges you've mentioned.
i could only say it is a bargain for the OP6 over the S9, because i would rather have the real "bigger" screen size and the extra features the S9 has doesn't really required by me so i wouldn't pay the extra money for that. if the extra features do actually required, then it is worth the extra money. so yea, personal preference.
not here to argue, just suggestion. :D
lllllllllllll it's over $200 cheaper and faster with a high tier camera and a lag free os, with great customization. Plus it's sexy why wouldn't you hype it up?
