Wireless charging is good for the feature when there will be wireless pads integrated in tables at restaurants and cafes but until then I can easily live without it. Dash charging is better and more efficient to use at home.
My dream custom phone Oneplus's oxygen os Apples rear Cameras Samsung's 120hz screen Asus rog phone speakers Xiaomi ir blaster Motorized front camera And a headphone jack!
They still sell 9R for 39999. Back in 2018 OP6 8+128 was priced 39999. Sure there are other manufacturers stepping into the game and really redefined VFM proportions even 20% cheaper than OP for Equivalent hardware. But OnePlus Stays at that price and I won't expect it to step down in pricing. But whats bugging me is Release of "budget" phones and keep their best for Overpriced Pro editions.
I dont think android companies understand why alot of people still use them over iphones. 1. Freedom 2. Memory expansion (sd card) 3. Customization 4. New features prior to iphones getting them (even though people pretend its new when apple does it. 5. Headphone jack The more android companies move in the direction of apple, the more people will just jump ship. My mentality is if im going to own an iphone like device ill just buy an iphone. Im not a fanboy. I dont swear allegiance to plastic regardless of the company
2 & 5 many have dropped. I don't get the headphone jack why get rid of it? People still used wired headphones. Maybe because of waterproofing. But why is that really needed. Who swim's with a phone in their pocket? Dropping the micro SD I get. Unless you are very media heavy they are worthless. After android 4.4.4 you couldn't download straight to it anyways so its not like it really gives you anything except media storage. I thought I would really miss it but with 64gb that can be used for anything and a phone not full of bloat I don't miss it at all. All the other things are easily fixed with custom ROMs. So really the headphone jack disappearing is the only real loss.
AJ S My S7 is totally waterpoof and it still has the headphone jack. So thats not the excuse. The only excuse for not having it is the looks and being "cutting edge" or something. But yeah the lack of a headphone jack is the only reason i didnt buy the new Nokia 8 Scirocco. Wired headphones AFAIK have better sound quality and at least wont need charging. Also I have a pair of almost 200eur wired headphones.... So I'm seriously not gonna buy a phone that has no headphone jack even tho i could use an adapter.
@@Ex0rz I'm glad that there are still a few hold out companies still using headphone jacks. While I do have Bluetooth earbuds and really like the freedom wireless provides, I also have wired headphones that sound way better than Bluetooth. Wired headphones will always provide better sound. So I agree I wouldn't buy a phone without a headphone jack. Unless of course every company dropped it. Let's just hope that doesn't happen. I just recently got the oneplus 5t while it doesn't have IP certification I've seen some convincing videos of it surviving 5 mins completely submerged, and it too has a headphone jack.
Wireless charging won't be a deal-breaker for me until more American furniture manufacturers start putting wireless charging build into desks, and couches, and tables. Like they do at IKEA in Sweden.
I enjoy the approach to this review. Rather than listing specs and blindly comparing to the big dogs, you take into account *why* certain features are the way they are. I think OnePlus went to great lengths to understand the consumer rather than just trying to jump into the massive arms race of tech. During the California Gold Rush clever folks went out for Gold; While the *smart* ones sold shovels.
"A 500€ budget phone with compromises like no SD slot, and only a 1080p AMOLED display..." iPhone XR: no SD slot, no headphone jack, an LCD display that isn't even 1080p.... *FOR 800€*
Thank you OnePlus for keeping the headphone jack. My main complaint is the glass back. If they're not going to include wireless charging then I would have much preferred a matte/brushed metal back. They feel nicer than glass, get less fingerprints and there's no chance of cracking. It probably costs less as well.
I still have this OnePlus 6. Great phone! Still pretty smooth, they fixed the gestures, cameras are ok with GCam, software updates are still coming, but the Android updates are slow tho and the battery doesn't last as long as they used to. I'm thinking about getting a new battery and keeping the phone for at least one more year.
I really wish reviewers stopped mentioning wireless charging. It’s not a feature that is important. It’s not a deal breaker. It doesn’t add huge amounts of convenience to your life. Picking up a cord and plugging it in takes 3 seconds max. Dropping it in a pad takes one second. Saving two seconds on charging your phone isn’t game changing.
I use wireless charging on my s9+ and can say its a gimmick. Its nice when im tired, but its not worth the extra money to buy a pad when cables come free with the phone.
I would like wireless charging for when I'm on a desk and just having it charged with no wire when I just put it down but it really doesn't matter at all
Dude honestly I bought a wireless charged just because they're super cheap and my phone happens to have wireless charging. When you go to sleep and you just drop your phone on the pad without having to search for the cable in the dark and stretch and in the morning just picking you phone up with one hand no having the danger of accidentally pulling on your charging cord it's just so nice. It's not a dealbreaker but it's a super nice feature to have. Plus it helps with preserving you battery life. It's healthier to charge wirelessly.
*Pricing is good, however no water resistance, no wireless charging, no QuadHD screen, no inbuilt beard trimmer, no steam iron, no air humidifier :( Total bummer!*
why the hell couldn't you use it while charging? I have a Samsung charger with an iPhone and can use it while charging.. you can set the charger to a stand so you can see the display clearly.
its good for when youre going to sleep I have a charger attached to my bed I just sit it on in the middle of the night without looking. I can pick it up whenever and not worry about the cable being plugged in. I also have one in the kitchen cause Im basically cooking everyday its an angled charger and same thing. Good for when you want to just put your phone down on something( I used to just put my phone on a oven mat haha). So yea there are uses to wireless charging. If I need to fast charge my phone ill use a cable but I never use cables anymore it seems. charging it at night and sometimes when im making food and its good all day
Revisiting this review as of 15th of december 2021. Still rocking this stamina beast of a phone since launch here in Sweden. Still runs all day without trouble, biggest change is that I went from charging every other day on average to every evening. It's going to be really hard to switch from this phone, where battery, rear fingerprintscanner and chargingspeed is going to be really hard to beat even with most of today flagships!
Usman Tariq He says the camera on the OnePlus is of a B+ grade compared to the A+ camera quality of the Pixel 2XL,Galaxy S9+ and iPhone but then those are expensive smartphones.But then considering the price of OnePlus 6 the features that it offers is A+.
No one cares about wireless charging, because it's not really wireless. Still have to plant the phone on a stationary base that has a power cord, lol. Dash Charge is incredible.
Sayad Khan many people care about wireless charging actually because its a major pathway/platform for companies to develop the true wireless charging that you want. So what if you have to plant it? Its very useful and serves a very important function to many people, convenience. Rather then having to plug in your charger like some kind of pathetic puzzle piece you canem easily just place it on the pad... This is great for when you are tired back from work and wanna go straight to bed and you don't have to bend over and plug it in you can just lay it on the pad and bam, relax. And this is especially great and convinient for charging your phone in the car. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about constantly breaking wires etc. Its all about convenience. And its not meant to be a complete alternative... Its there as another option for times where you don't want to use your phone but what to charge it conveniently. Furthermore by investing into this technology today companies can use this for rnd and get real customer feedback so they can develop true true wireless charging where the second you walk into your home or workplace etc your phone will be able to charge .. In other words so they can better develop the "WiFi" wireless technology you want. So its actually very useful and important for the future development of REAL wireless charging. Its not a necessity but it is a nice convenient thing to have which is what its all about.
Because I'd rather make the extra effort of plugging in a wire, if it gives me 40% charge in 20 minutes. Rather than placing the phone on a plate to get like 5% charge. Unless wireless charging tech evolves, I'd not give 2 shits about wireless charging in phones. It's retarded to use wireless charging when you have Dash.
Do people *actually* use wireless charging in daily use? I know it is good to have the feature but I don't think that people would mind the absence of wireless charging
Yes, I just placed 3 around my house and use it all the time. It’s something you think you won’t use / need until you start using it. After that, you almost need it in your phone. Makes charging easier.
Jason Bourne we are not lazy. Until you actually start properly using it day to day, you won't understand the pure convenience of never having to plug your phone in ever again
Benjamin Bee You're right, and my opinion is that it's nothing more than a gimmick. Fast charging time and good battery life is the REAL convenience in my opinion🤷🏽
I don't know, it might just be me but when I think of wireless charging now, I think of a couple years down the road when the battery can no longer last the day and instead of plugging it in, I can just rest it on a charger. I know it is only slightly more convenient but still, I don't enjoy plugging my phone in to top it off.
yea besides i almost always use my phone while charging, it's only practical when u leave it to charge overnight, otherwise it's useless and adds up tremendous cost to the phone price and the first time u buy a wireless charger
Exactly. Utterly useless. It's a shame people fall for it, thinking of it as some sort of wifi charging that doesn't necessitate plugging or putting the phone down. I would rather prefer a better screen or battery than a feature that doesn't even let me use the phone while it is employed.
Exactly . You still have to rest it down . Which sometimes is a downside coz you can't optimally use the phone when it's charging . It's a namesake wireless , not true untethered technology .
Now, after 4 years, my OP6 is still going strong. Best phone I had, period! No single problem in all those years and still 40% battery life at the end of the day. Recently bought the Pixel 6 pro, but send it back because it was not an improvement over this phone. Only downside of the phone was the glass back that broke twice. After the last break, I put a protection sticker and that problem was solved. Wish I could use it longer, but 3g calling discontinued in my country and this phone does not support voLTE, so the call quality became shit. Too bad. Btw, I love the fingerprint scanner on the back. It's fast and the placement really convenient. No problem with the size at all.
Google shouldn't allow people to use someone's video as an actual advertisement. This blurs the line between video creator and advertiser in some unforeseen ways. A review being promoted just ushers in accusations of pay for positive reviews.
1.5 yrs Today and trust me it is as fast snappy and fuckin smoother than i bought it back then! I was previously an iphone user but trust me OnePlus is shatters iphone...I couldn't believe they provide me this much in jst 500 bucks and still regular updates faster than any 1000$ phones out there every month security updates my god why didn't i used OnePlus from the starting! iPhone looks shit in front of this! Fuckin overwhelmed!
My dad's iphone is as fast as day one ( He bought it during its launch ), it's been almost 4 years and it's on the latest version of iOS too with room for a lot more updates, You don't need to bring down apple to praise OnePlus, both are excellent in terms of software support and we must be happy instead of degrading other companies
@@kavinsuresh5468 True. I don't understand people who hate Apple or Android devices. Who cares? We're the consumer and we pick whatever suits us. Why judge someone who has a different preference. Both iOS and Android have their ups and downs but they're both great operating systems.
Bought it and love it, very fast, no trashware unlike almost every other brand of android phones im loving oxygenOS, good price, awesome internal specs, great build, 3.5 jack, super fast charging, no crap like wireless charging that bumps up the price and ends up never used, speaker is dinky but agai i almost exclusively use earphones so good speakers would be another price bump that would end up never used for me, exelent phone, especially for the price, recomend 100%.
Paul Goodwill hi I think it's really cool that you bought this phone. I recently started looking for a new phone and would like to buy OnePlus 6. But I'm not sure if I shouldn't wait for the OnePlus 6T. What do you guys think it? I'd appreciate your advice
@@ahmetberkayhan5498 I would recommend you wait for the 6T if for example you don't like that notch. The 6T doesn't have too much of an upgrade but it actually depends. Oh, and the 6T also has no headphone jack.
Arbel Barak nah, that's cause we like to be able to listen to music when charging our phone.. some of us are big fans of headphones and we enjoy them.. just because your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, that doesn't make it so that it's totally useless and irrelevant! And also, +Barbel Myth, yes, yes we do.. just because you fucked up by buying a phone without a headphone jack, doesn't make it so that nobody cares
Who still rocking the sweet 6 in 2020? I'm still just as in love with my Silk White 6 today as I was the day it arrived 2 years ago. It still feels super fast and good as ever. Even the screen hasn't burned in. My old 3T screen is a hot mess, but this one has held up real nice.
wireless charging & water resistant = two things I can always live without. We managed fine for years and years without them before and I don't know about you, but I give literally zero craps about them now. They aren't points for what makes a good phone to me. If one has it, OK fine. If it doesn't? OK fine. Headphone jack still matters to me, just because I have enough devices in USB ports that need charging as it is. Its nice to have one that doesn't and often, they sound much better. The notch doesn't really bother me (although getting in the way of videos, like on the iPhone, would. I thought the rounded corners on my s9+ would bug me, but they don't.
@@WelinX LOL exactly, finally figured out how to make discharging insanely fast and reliable, and all people want to do is obsess over some wireless charging trend
Great review MKBHD. I've had this phone for about a day now and I'm honestly blown away. I don't understand some complaints people have, none of them bother me. The battery life is enough for a full day, plus dash charging is ridiculously fast for those that somehow blow through their battery life. I've never used a screen that's 1080p+ but I can say that the screen is the best looking screen I've seen for 1080p, it gets bright enough for outdoor use and dark enough for late night use and the colors look fantastic (I personally use it on the custom setting all the way to the 'cold' side, i think it looks best that way). I've never used or plan on using wireless charging so it missing that doesn't bother me. The speaker is enough for occassonal videos and what not, but I personally wear headphones 95% of the time so that's not a problem to me (oh p.s., there's a headphone jack, it's sad that's considered a plus in 2018) and once the new OnePlus wireless headphones come out, I know those things will never come off. The thing I was afraid of most was the notch, and honestly, it isn't noticable, and this is coming from someone who thought they would never even try a phone with one and if for whatever reason you just can't stand it, you can "turn it off" in the software. Storage wise 128gb is more than I'd ever need, so no sd slot isn't a minus for me either. The face and fingerprint unlock is insanley fast and this phone is unnecessarily smooth, I swear nothing can slow this thing down. And for those saying it's bad for not having water protection, just don't use the phone in the bath, you should be washing yourself anyways, and put it in your pocket when you're taking a leak, it's that easy. I hate all the people trying to put this phone down because it's missing certain features, especially the people saying wait for the next one because it will be better. Of course it will be better, but if you're in need of a new phone then I'd highly recommend it, if your phone is still good and you think you can wait a few more months for the 6t or 7 or whatever it's called, then wait. But stop putting this phone and everyone that has bought it down just because YOU don't think it's worth it. Missing those things does not make it a bad phone by any means. This phone is by far the greatest phone I've owned, I'm absolutely blown away and I feel anyone who buys it will be just as impressed and happy with their purchase. Thanks for listening, and if you bought the OnePlus 6 too, then enjoy it! I know I am.
Best review I've seen of the phone. Very well done. I've been using a 1+5 since it came out. I post pics and videos all the time, all over social media. Nobody has ever said the media quality looked like it was taken by a "cheap" phone. So much these days is focused on how good the cameras are, but the reality is, 95% of the public won't notice or care less. Same thing with the display. Many people have seen my phone and commented how great it looks, or watched a video I show them and never commented "oh is that only a 1080p display? I could tell"... 😂 I've been COMPLETELY happy switching from a Galaxy phone (been a user since the Galaxy S1) to my 1+5. I'll be buying the 1+6 to replace my wife's Note 5. Keep up the good work
2023 and I'm still using my OP6. Been more than 4.5 years now. Recently replaced my battery and it's back to being as good as a new one. One of the best phones ever. Although I stopped from updating to Android 13, because that wrecks the phone. With Android 12 it works like a charm till date. Best buy ever.
Wireless charging is a bad idea to implement in a OnePlus. As long as there is no faster wireless charging than the Dash Charge, fast charging is more suitable.
I've got the OnePlus 5t and I'm not going to upgrade. No point really. The OnePlus 6 is an amazing phone but there's not much difference between them. Good video though.
if you start to upgrade after each 6 months well you are fucked lol unless you're rich. In your case, if you really like OnePlus I would only upgrade to OnePlus 7. 5T still a beast
Im a type of guy who changes phones every 3 years when it becomes very laggy , i used to buy nexus phones , now im ordering this one and i hope not to regret , all i care about if fast reaposive phone with great battery life
Or you could get an S9 for the same price (or even cheaper) because they are constantly on sale now. Get wireless charging. Get expandable storage. Get the best display on the market. Get a better camera. Get a better speaker. Get local support. Don't get a notch. The only thing that it does better is the software. If that's the most important aspect for you, then by all means get the 1+6, it's still a great phone, just a bit too overhyped (as usual).
Please find me a S9+ for anywhere near that price, I would love to buy one. What OnePlus are doing with their pricing is nothing short of incredible due to the longevity you get out of their phones. Samsungs deteriorate rapidly, in terms of performance and battery life.
Watching this video after my beloved OnePlus 6 died for the good after repairing it for 3 times and spending half the amount I purchased it for. Used it for 4½ years. Great phone and was really worth the price.
You compare this phone always to the higher end crazy phones. Would be cool to see a video comparing it to other phones in its price range to truly show that value you’re talking about agin some lesser known, cheaper phones
StickmanAirsoft PH xiaomi decided to skip a number to celebrate their 8th anniversary I think, kinda forgot where I read that, and yeah xiaomi is slow at android upgrade but the features we needed is available through MIUI updates
David T inflation is a thing, but technological progress is faster than inflation. It should be possible to get better phones for cheaper than in the past.
The RAM is insane. It starts out at 6 GB, while other more expensive smartphones start at 4 GB and go up to 6 GB for more money. It also goes up to 8 GB unlike most phones and combined with 256 GB storage it's STILL cheaper than the CHEAPEST S9 with only 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage.
Naud van Dalen RAM is not the only criteria for speed and performance. Iphones and Galaxies have always had less RAM and still beaten every other phone in performance. So a bigger RAM than S9 doesn't mean it's better.
Congrats Marques on 20m views! Watching this on my OnePlus 5. It's been 18 months since I bought it and I've got to say that it has held up pretty well. A+ battery life and performance. Good enough camera and great software. OnePlus offers so much value for money compared to almost 3 times priced flagships here in India. I was tempted to buy the OnePlus 6 but I'll just wait and see what OnePlus does next year. OnePlus can you please bring back the headphone jack? It's coming from a big fan. 😐
Fact is wireless charging is seriously a gimmick its not tht advanced....charges way tooo slow n heats up th device...so to b frank it wont b missed a big deal...but yeah a few cars these days provide tht but again its not a deal breaker feature...I would happily trade wireless charging for a dash charge any day...
akash C also u wont have much support for wireless charging unless you hav a lot if tym to charge your device by keeping it in the same place n not using it..seriously wireless charging tech has a lot more work to be done on it...its not atal advanced enough...I hardly use it during day...night tym is th best tym to use it while sleepin
Swaroop Chavan wireless charging is already getting a lot of support. You just said a few cars are already providing it. However, I prefer to carry my dash charger and as ironic as it sounds it's a lot more convenient... If I have to use it, only a couple minutes will solve the rest of my day. While on regular or wireless chargers you either get just a little charge (without using your phone) or let it charging for too long.
Hey Marques, Android Developer here Devices that have Oreo or above are "Project Treble ready" (I think you've mentioned this in past video(s)), but the good thing here is Google is now pushing OEMs to adopt it, in the very near future the minimum SDK / Android version will gradually get upped. Meaning any app wishes to get published or updated will now have a minSdk, so if OEMs what their devices to be compatible, they need to "keep up" with Android. Finally getting rid of old Android versions, that'll make apps so much better and the devs will start to get a break from the whole fragmentation, hence Google is starting to partner up with other OEMs for betas, that way they get more testing.
By far, the largest problem with Android OS's was the timescale for which the OS's existed. 4.x stayed for nearly over 2 years, which I think is ideal and perfect for users to get used to the OS, developers to produce apps, and for OEM's to sell new phones that come with the OS. But now it seems as though a new OS gets released every 3 months, which is too fast for users to get used to (too much novelty), too less time for developers to update their apps, and too less time for OEM's to modify the hardware to support the new OS
Ahnaf Abdullah project treble addresses that issue. Im going to assume you're not a Dev, if so sorry for non-technical explanation... Basically OEMs are given a set of instructions, like a contract that the hardware has to follow, and Google will handle the integration on the OS side, so any device that runs Oreo or above will see updates way faster, OEMs have an easier transition since the contract remains the same. This exactly what happens on the iOS world, but Apple controls both the software and the hardware. That being said, the way we develope apps has been historically hard and painful, and Google is addressing these issues while bringing the whole platform to the modern age. Trust me it is a good thing ;) Also development cycle is around 2weeks, so we always update apps hehe
I'm still using it in June 2021, never looked back and it'll still go strong the next few years. It's the Lenovo Thinkpad in form of a phone. Built like a tank, always served me well.
When someone does an honest review and if he/she likes the product, the reviewer is attacked as being paid...so if you wear Nike because you like it then it's OK to say you're being paid by Nike. Just looking at how MBL presented this review, I don't think he was paid. Dude, seems like he was honest in how he felt about the phone...he even did a video where he prefers the Google Pixel 2 camera over others. Guess Google is paying him too, right?
YT is wierd when it comes to recommendations, still i went and watched it on my OP6. So it's August 2020 and many things have imrpoved over the time, performance is awesome till date no lag or hiccups and I use gcam mod and pics outcomming from it are way more better than the stock app.
I have the one plus 5 and a Samsung galaxy s8. I'm always using the one plus coz it's so smooth and fast. The wireless charger is just a waste. It's cool. I used it for the first few weeks coz it was exciting and cool, but it's so slow. I've never used it since. For the money, tell me a better phone than the one plus. I'll definitely wait for the next one plus coz I'm pretty happy with the 5 right now. Stereo speakers and IP are a must have these days. They are not in yet coz one plus has to keep the prices low. They are definitely coming in the future of the one plus devices.
Bought the oneplus 6 when it released, and 4 years back. Still running this beast. My buttons have stopped working, but the performance is still top notch and the battery life is great. Damn, what happened to oneplus?
@@anirbanchakraborty1464 Not necessearly..... People wanted a OnePlus flagship... And the company made it.... People want a budget OnePlus... They are making one. I rest my case.
@@GymofRCdo they are making it to gain some more fans for the brand... Phone companies make the most profit when they can sell flagships... Every company wants to make only flagships... That's what OnePlus wl also do... Also no one wanted oneplus to make a flagship... Everyone wants flagship level specs in mid range cost
I'm still using my OnePlus 6 phone 4 years later. The battery is quite bad and, without battery saver on, it dies really quickly. However it charges insanely fast so it's not really a problem. I once dropped it in water but the only noticeable change was the speaker quality - but even that got fixed after playing music at maximum volume and once the water had evaporated. It's insanely durable - I only have a single crack. It's gotten somewhat slow and pictures sometimes take 5 seconds to take (and the cameras are quite bad). But, for playing music, texting, looking at TH-cam, browsing social media, writing, etc. it's still a good phone.
Juan Felipe Carvajal J. I use it with my S9+. I find it very useful. I rarely ever use my wired charger that came with my phone. The Samsung wireless charging stand is also very fast.
Juan Felipe Carvajal J. It's not that all people want wireless charging, many people are just annoyed at the glass back and no wireless charging to justify it.
The design is excellent. However, I hate how all the android phones that have adopted the notch still include a large bottom chin. Wish an android phone could look like the iPhone X, which has no chin :(
The oled panel needs to be curved at the bottom to minimize the chin as apple did with the iPhone X. This method is however quite expensive and would not be worth doing for a $500 phone.
Have a look at the Xiaomk Mi Mix 2S: SD845 6/64GB costs 499€ in Italy while OP6 SD845 6/64GB costs 529€. And they both have Android P beta. Mi Mix's secondary camera is more useful, and it also has better audio. It lacks the headphone jack but also lacks a notch. It has wireless charging and Quick Charging. It may be great to see a battle between the two. And the developing community of Xiaomi is also quite active, so even if the stock experience is MIUI and not AOSP like, there will be plenty AOSP ROMs out there. If you can, test them one against the other and also do camera comparison (with both stock camera app and XDA's Google Camera).
I mean, I have an op3t and I love xiaomi, it's a very good brand and it's getting famous here in Europe. At least, in Spain is now the third best selling brand and not long ago Apple was there
Well...it's easy: the stock UI is actually an UI created and optimized by the second-most valuable company in the world, which naturally can afford the best designers and developers. That's why people are willing to pay more for it.
Isn't it funny how a $600 phone is now considered budget? The world has gone mad lol.
Kagan not to mention that this phone barely has any difference from last year’s model despite the price hike.
Yea well considering it's 300$ less than the s9+ I think it's right to call it a budget flagship
Budget flagship phone 😂😂
It's not quite a budget phone, it's a budget flagship. Has the specs of a real flagship phone but yea cheaper
Kagan this Chinese quality phone is a rip off
The fact it can even be compared to phones twice its price makes this worth getting if you're on a budget.
Haiwaii honor 10 view 10 p20 LG v30 s8 plus, s9 xiami mix2, are all around the price point of one plus 6....in Europe at least..
FutureNow there's no micro SD card
"Not in Norway, everything is expensive here, this makes it so that every phone has a huge difference in price"
The only thing I'm concerned about is its sharpness. Can the human eye really tell the difference above 340ppi?
1080p really is enough
Quick Charging > Wireless Charging
Dash charging>quick charging
Dash charge V2 nobody needs wireless charging anymore 😅
Wireless charging is good for the feature when there will be wireless pads integrated in tables at restaurants and cafes but until then I can easily live without it. Dash charging is better and more efficient to use at home.

@@qalamiti6____________748 that is what is behind the prize hike.
@ yea Nord is actually a bullshit
Yeah, also op 8 is 600 dollars and the pro one costs 800 here in India.
And here we are after 2 years, in the era of OnePlus being the villian.
They still sell 9R for 39999. Back in 2018 OP6 8+128 was priced 39999. Sure there are other manufacturers stepping into the game and really redefined VFM proportions even 20% cheaper than OP for Equivalent hardware. But OnePlus Stays at that price and I won't expect it to step down in pricing. But whats bugging me is Release of "budget" phones and keep their best for Overpriced Pro editions.
@@r3nj1th98 poco f3 gt is better and starts at 350 usd
:'(
OnePlus had been abandoned and merge into OPPO
And now today that villian has turned into a colourful joker
I dont think android companies understand why alot of people still use them over iphones.
1. Freedom
2. Memory expansion (sd card)
3. Customization
4. New features prior to iphones getting them (even though people pretend its new when apple does it.
5. Headphone jack
The more android companies move in the direction of apple, the more people will just jump ship. My mentality is if im going to own an iphone like device ill just buy an iphone. Im not a fanboy. I dont swear allegiance to plastic regardless of the company
Eddie P while Samsung phone still have everything that you mentioned, I assure you are still Apple fanboy
2 & 5 many have dropped. I don't get the headphone jack why get rid of it? People still used wired headphones. Maybe because of waterproofing. But why is that really needed. Who swim's with a phone in their pocket? Dropping the micro SD I get. Unless you are very media heavy they are worthless. After android 4.4.4 you couldn't download straight to it anyways so its not like it really gives you anything except media storage. I thought I would really miss it but with 64gb that can be used for anything and a phone not full of bloat I don't miss it at all. All the other things are easily fixed with custom ROMs. So really the headphone jack disappearing is the only real loss.
AJ S My S7 is totally waterpoof and it still has the headphone jack. So thats not the excuse. The only excuse for not having it is the looks and being "cutting edge" or something. But yeah the lack of a headphone jack is the only reason i didnt buy the new Nokia 8 Scirocco. Wired headphones AFAIK have better sound quality and at least wont need charging. Also I have a pair of almost 200eur wired headphones.... So I'm seriously not gonna buy a phone that has no headphone jack even tho i could use an adapter.
@@Ex0rz I'm glad that there are still a few hold out companies still using headphone jacks. While I do have Bluetooth earbuds and really like the freedom wireless provides, I also have wired headphones that sound way better than Bluetooth. Wired headphones will always provide better sound. So I agree I wouldn't buy a phone without a headphone jack. Unless of course every company dropped it. Let's just hope that doesn't happen. I just recently got the oneplus 5t while it doesn't have IP certification I've seen some convincing videos of it surviving 5 mins completely submerged, and it too has a headphone jack.
Lmao I just don't like apple
Wireless charging won't be a deal-breaker for me until more American furniture manufacturers start putting wireless charging build into desks, and couches, and tables. Like they do at IKEA in Sweden.
forreal and i think their charger said it charges the phone fast?? anybody have any proof
@@BGCArchive Yes it's super fast. Fastest in any android I've ever used.
Who tf uses american furniture?? Everything that comes from the US is trash

I enjoy the approach to this review. Rather than listing specs and blindly comparing to the big dogs, you take into account *why* certain features are the way they are. I think OnePlus went to great lengths to understand the consumer rather than just trying to jump into the massive arms race of tech.
During the California Gold Rush clever folks went out for Gold; While the *smart* ones sold shovels.
"A 500€ budget phone with compromises like no SD slot, and only a 1080p AMOLED display..."
iPhone XR: no SD slot, no headphone jack, an LCD display that isn't even 1080p.... *FOR 800€*
Iggy J the XR wasn’t a thing back then so don’t even judge him
I bought this phone for the 3.5mm jack
People still post this shit?
Zycklacon
Apparently
850€ in Spain 😂
Dash Charge is one of the only reasons I've been sticking with OnePlus for so long
Toon Reunis Only Huawei comes close in charge time to OP (No I do not count Vivo as it uses basically the same thing).
Steven Franks
An "Android iPhone." Read OP's comment correctly.
It even charges fast while using it. Use the S9 while charging and it charges slow.
I swear I just saw your comment on Lew's recent video
how come u r in every tech review channel's comment box ? 😓
Thank you OnePlus for keeping the headphone jack. My main complaint is the glass back. If they're not going to include wireless charging then I would have much preferred a matte/brushed metal back. They feel nicer than glass, get less fingerprints and there's no chance of cracking. It probably costs less as well.

Hi guys Pls check My Small Tech Channel It Will Make My day I Want To Know What You Think About My Channel
As a fan of compact phones, if they made a OneMinus 6 I'd buy it immediately
Lashan We demand One plus6 S!!!!!
Goooood point.
that's negative bro. Uhh , you know what i mean
You do realise it would overheat and exert a higher percentage of radiation
OnePlus X2 makes more sense, they should really make another, the original was the best :)
I still have this OnePlus 6. Great phone! Still pretty smooth, they fixed the gestures, cameras are ok with GCam, software updates are still coming, but the Android updates are slow tho and the battery doesn't last as long as they used to. I'm thinking about getting a new battery and keeping the phone for at least one more year.
The One Plus 6 won’t work after the 3G shutdown. It doesn’t support HD VoLTE.
@@sterlingroberts6240 When will that happenÉ
@@user-cx9sx7km7k pretty sure it has already happened
My battery degraded badly and started to have network issues where the other person in the call couldnt hear me, exchanged it for iphone11
Hey my OnePlus 6 got into Qualcomm Crash Dump Mode, I love that phone but did not expect this from OnePlus.
I really wish reviewers stopped mentioning wireless charging. It’s not a feature that is important. It’s not a deal breaker. It doesn’t add huge amounts of convenience to your life.
Picking up a cord and plugging it in takes 3 seconds max. Dropping it in a pad takes one second. Saving two seconds on charging your phone isn’t game changing.
I use wireless charging on my s9+ and can say its a gimmick. Its nice when im tired, but its not worth the extra money to buy a pad when cables come free with the phone.
What's the point in using glass back if there's no wireless charging. Just makes the phone fragile "uuughhhh it feels premium"
Biccy Thiccy you're trying to tell me you need a glass back for 4G connectivity?
I would like wireless charging for when I'm on a desk and just having it charged with no wire when I just put it down but it really doesn't matter at all
Dude honestly I bought a wireless charged just because they're super cheap and my phone happens to have wireless charging. When you go to sleep and you just drop your phone on the pad without having to search for the cable in the dark and stretch and in the morning just picking you phone up with one hand no having the danger of accidentally pulling on your charging cord it's just so nice. It's not a dealbreaker but it's a super nice feature to have. Plus it helps with preserving you battery life. It's healthier to charge wirelessly.
*Pricing is good, however no water resistance, no wireless charging, no QuadHD screen, no inbuilt beard trimmer, no steam iron, no air humidifier :( Total bummer!*
God it doesn't even make me coffee
Annette Huppatz ikr what's the point
I heard the new note can make you sandwiches.
And no flame thrower! What was they thinking?!?!
Only thing that bugs me is no QHD, all the others I don't give a shit about. Oh, did I mention this phone has a headphone jack?
Wireless charging is useless for me as you cant use the phone while charging
KayTwo25 yeah I’ve never seen the point either, besides not having to take 2 seconds to plug the phone in?
if u are drunk or und drugs...its perfect, and u doint scratch the bottom of the phone
But we're moving into more wireless interface tho!
why the hell couldn't you use it while charging? I have a Samsung charger with an iPhone and can use it while charging.. you can set the charger to a stand so you can see the display clearly.
its good for when youre going to sleep I have a charger attached to my bed I just sit it on in the middle of the night without looking. I can pick it up whenever and not worry about the cable being plugged in. I also have one in the kitchen cause Im basically cooking everyday its an angled charger and same thing. Good for when you want to just put your phone down on something( I used to just put my phone on a oven mat haha). So yea there are uses to wireless charging. If I need to fast charge my phone ill use a cable but I never use cables anymore it seems. charging it at night and sometimes when im making food and its good all day
Revisiting this review as of 15th of december 2021. Still rocking this stamina beast of a phone since launch here in Sweden. Still runs all day without trouble, biggest change is that I went from charging every other day on average to every evening. It's going to be really hard to switch from this phone, where battery, rear fingerprintscanner and chargingspeed is going to be really hard to beat even with most of today flagships!
My experience has been worst from past 5months it's lagging a lot any solution?
@@yeshwanthkumar Factory reset or custom ROM
Try the new oneplus 11
Watching on my OnePlus 6 :)
Noah Herman hows the battery charges?
Same as my OnePlus 5. Lasts long and charges "dashingly" quick!
According to your worldview lmao. This phone fits MY own needs perfectly.
Me too bro, amazing phone!
Got mine today 😍
I waited for Marques' Oneplus 6 review since last year..
WORTH IT!
Im waiting for unbox therapy though
So did you buy it or what?
Oh great. Now u can start waiting for the Oneplus 7! 🤪🤭
TheDark Knut It is a better to wait for 7T 😀
No one does reviews as high quality as this. Thanks Marques!
Ryan Baxter emmmmm flossy carter.
Atleast it has headphone jack
And home button
TROJAN GAMING ? There’s no home button
Fast forward to OnePlus 6T, the jack is gone
6T says hello
Idc about the home button

Watching this in 2022 and remembering the golden era of Oneplus which is over now.
i was an Apple fanboy. till i switched to the OnePlus3. Battery/Software/Looks/gestures..... everything is top notch.

Was that a fucking pun 😂
Well ig it's time to switch back
All this phone needs is a pair of front facing speakers
Veridian And a 2k display. And no notch.
Ledenk mems if you want the price to stay at 500/600 dollars, a good looking 2k display is not gonne happen anytime soon (typing from a oneplus 5😁)
Veridian on One plus 6 t
Agreed

No one cares about wireless charging, because it's not really wireless. Still have to plant the phone on a stationary base that has a power cord, lol. Dash Charge is incredible.
Sayad Khan many people care about wireless charging actually because its a major pathway/platform for companies to develop the true wireless charging that you want.
So what if you have to plant it? Its very useful and serves a very important function to many people, convenience. Rather then having to plug in your charger like some kind of pathetic puzzle piece you canem easily just place it on the pad... This is great for when you are tired back from work and wanna go straight to bed and you don't have to bend over and plug it in you can just lay it on the pad and bam, relax. And this is especially great and convinient for charging your phone in the car. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about constantly breaking wires etc. Its all about convenience. And its not meant to be a complete alternative... Its there as another option for times where you don't want to use your phone but what to charge it conveniently. Furthermore by investing into this technology today companies can use this for rnd and get real customer feedback so they can develop true true wireless charging where the second you walk into your home or workplace etc your phone will be able to charge
.. In other words so they can better develop the "WiFi" wireless technology you want. So its actually very useful and important for the future development of REAL wireless charging. Its not a necessity but it is a nice convenient thing to have which is what its all about.
So incredible they can't call it dash charge anymore 😂
Because I'd rather make the extra effort of plugging in a wire, if it gives me 40% charge in 20 minutes. Rather than placing the phone on a plate to get like 5% charge. Unless wireless charging tech evolves, I'd not give 2 shits about wireless charging in phones. It's retarded to use wireless charging when you have Dash.
To bad you can't call it dash anymore though. Amazon now owns that branding.
How Amazon took the name for themselves??

Wait for OnePlus 99.....Oh wait, u won't probably live that long...RIP
There might not be a oneplus 6t carl pei said
Certificates and Official IP ratings will add up to the price. They want to keep it cheap, don't they 😉
INDroid but it’s still expensive than other Chinese phone like mi
They kept the price pretty high this time, as they have increased advertisement. So they had to increase the price
S8 is 550 and comes with it
pakistani torque True. The Mi Mix 2S 400 bucks, and oh my it's quality, A+ phone
INDroid No wireless charging Coz they already have a dash, so it makes no sense Coz wireless won't charge as fast.
Do people *actually* use wireless charging in daily use? I know it is good to have the feature but I don't think that people would mind the absence of wireless charging
Yes, I just placed 3 around my house and use it all the time. It’s something you think you won’t use / need until you start using it. After that, you almost need it in your phone. Makes charging easier.
Ghost How lazy are you? To me it's nothing but a gimmick.
Jason Bourne we are not lazy. Until you actually start properly using it day to day, you won't understand the pure convenience of never having to plug your phone in ever again
Benjamin Bee 🤦 It literally takes two seconds to plug your phone in, ONCE A DAY! . I've used it before and I'd choose dash charge any day.
Benjamin Bee You're right, and my opinion is that it's nothing more than a gimmick. Fast charging time and good battery life is the REAL convenience in my opinion🤷🏽
Here we are with 8 series, you got your IP rating and your wireless charging, just that it starts at 900$ tag🙃
Better than $500-600 smartphones: said Marques repeatedly 😅
AbbaTee better than mi mix 2s? We will see.

Was waiting on the master of phone reviews to reveal his video and it was worth the wait. Thanks MKBHD
Huh
Myers Tech totally agreed
Bwhaha Master Phone Review..are you serious?
Mr. Mobile is the real Master
Wireless charging is the most pointless feature every designed for smartphones
Totally agree.
I don't know, it might just be me but when I think of wireless charging now, I think of a couple years down the road when the battery can no longer last the day and instead of plugging it in, I can just rest it on a charger. I know it is only slightly more convenient but still, I don't enjoy plugging my phone in to top it off.
yea besides i almost always use my phone while charging, it's only practical when u leave it to charge overnight, otherwise it's useless and adds up tremendous cost to the phone price and the first time u buy a wireless charger
Exactly. Utterly useless. It's a shame people fall for it, thinking of it as some sort of wifi charging that doesn't necessitate plugging or putting the phone down. I would rather prefer a better screen or battery than a feature that doesn't even let me use the phone while it is employed.
Exactly . You still have to rest it down . Which sometimes is a downside coz you can't optimally use the phone when it's charging . It's a namesake wireless , not true untethered technology .
Now, after 4 years, my OP6 is still going strong. Best phone I had, period! No single problem in all those years and still 40% battery life at the end of the day. Recently bought the Pixel 6 pro, but send it back because it was not an improvement over this phone. Only downside of the phone was the glass back that broke twice. After the last break, I put a protection sticker and that problem was solved. Wish I could use it longer, but 3g calling discontinued in my country and this phone does not support voLTE, so the call quality became shit. Too bad. Btw, I love the fingerprint scanner on the back. It's fast and the placement really convenient. No problem with the size at all.
Totally agree I have a 5t n man battery is struggling to hold charge 4years on but I wana replace it with the same phone or a 6 these phones r so good
2:27 It has a headphonejack.
Tim Cook: You guys dont need that. Ok thats 1000$
Damn, the ad did get you *some* views.
18+million as if this comment.
S Not sure but judging by his other review videos, without the ad this would've had around 2 million views. Again am not sure, it's just a guess.
Google shouldn't allow people to use someone's video as an actual advertisement. This blurs the line between video creator and advertiser in some unforeseen ways. A review being promoted just ushers in accusations of pay for positive reviews.
OnePlus put this review as an ad on TH-cam and other platforms so that why MKBHD got views
OnePlus 5 have 5.4M
Of*
1.5 yrs Today and trust me it is as fast snappy and fuckin smoother than i bought it back then! I was previously an iphone user but trust me OnePlus is shatters iphone...I couldn't believe they provide me this much in jst 500 bucks and still regular updates faster than any 1000$ phones out there every month security updates my god why didn't i used OnePlus from the starting! iPhone looks shit in front of this! Fuckin overwhelmed!
My dad's iphone is as fast as day one ( He bought it during its launch ), it's been almost 4 years and it's on the latest version of iOS too with room for a lot more updates, You don't need to bring down apple to praise OnePlus, both are excellent in terms of software support and we must be happy instead of degrading other companies
@@kavinsuresh5468 True. I don't understand people who hate Apple or Android devices. Who cares? We're the consumer and we pick whatever suits us. Why judge someone who has a different preference. Both iOS and Android have their ups and downs but they're both great operating systems.
Bought it and love it, very fast, no trashware unlike almost every other brand of android phones im loving oxygenOS, good price, awesome internal specs, great build, 3.5 jack, super fast charging, no crap like wireless charging that bumps up the price and ends up never used, speaker is dinky but agai i almost exclusively use earphones so good speakers would be another price bump that would end up never used for me, exelent phone, especially for the price, recomend 100%.
How's the speaker? Really think I like this phone but the speaker is really important for me
I like this phone. How come you didn’t hold out for the 6T?
Paul Goodwill hi I think it's really cool that you bought this phone. I recently started looking for a new phone and would like to buy OnePlus 6. But I'm not sure if I shouldn't wait for the OnePlus 6T. What do you guys think it? I'd appreciate your advice
@@ahmetberkayhan5498 I would recommend you wait for the 6T if for example you don't like that notch. The 6T doesn't have too much of an upgrade but it actually depends. Oh, and the 6T also has no headphone jack.
If you genuinely care about sound from your phone speakers, for example to play at a social gathering etc, you would use a bluetooth speaker...
This is my next phone for sure 👌
Wait for the 6T
its really good phone for the price but i'd wait for iphone SE2 (most likely will be announced at wwdc in 10 days) before i snap it .
Roji Pelayo wait for the 7
I got it yesterday
wait for the pixel 3 man
This video is oddly satisfying!
All of his videos are. That's why he's so popular :)
as soon as he said it has an headphone jack, Bro i was SOLD!
do people actually care abouth headphone jacks in 2018? wtf
Yes we do.
Why is everyone so hyped about the headphone jack? You got to have a very precious headphone cord.
Arbel Barak nah, that's cause we like to be able to listen to music when charging our phone.. some of us are big fans of headphones and we enjoy them.. just because your phone doesn't have a headphone jack, that doesn't make it so that it's totally useless and irrelevant! And also, +Barbel Myth, yes, yes we do.. just because you fucked up by buying a phone without a headphone jack, doesn't make it so that nobody cares
Barbell Myth yes we do, headphone jack is just a better port
Who still rocking the sweet 6 in 2020?
I'm still just as in love with my Silk White 6 today as I was the day it arrived 2 years ago. It still feels super fast and good as ever. Even the screen hasn't burned in. My old 3T screen is a hot mess, but this one has held up real nice.
wireless charging & water resistant = two things I can always live without. We managed fine for years and years without them before and I don't know about you, but I give literally zero craps about them now. They aren't points for what makes a good phone to me. If one has it, OK fine. If it doesn't? OK fine.
Headphone jack still matters to me, just because I have enough devices in USB ports that need charging as it is. Its nice to have one that doesn't and often, they sound much better.
The notch doesn't really bother me (although getting in the way of videos, like on the iPhone, would. I thought the rounded corners on my s9+ would bug me, but they don't.
why people are so attached to wireless charging ? What wow feel does it give?
Even if it had wireless charging,i wouldnt use it..
It is more convenient
@idunno doesn't stop it from being convenient.
with the dash charging you could get as much as 15-20 percent in 5 fucking minutes, that lasts for perhaps 2 hours? How is wireless more convenient?
@@WelinX LOL exactly, finally figured out how to make discharging insanely fast and reliable, and all people want to do is obsess over some wireless charging trend
Great review MKBHD. I've had this phone for about a day now and I'm honestly blown away. I don't understand some complaints people have, none of them bother me. The battery life is enough for a full day, plus dash charging is ridiculously fast for those that somehow blow through their battery life. I've never used a screen that's 1080p+ but I can say that the screen is the best looking screen I've seen for 1080p, it gets bright enough for outdoor use and dark enough for late night use and the colors look fantastic (I personally use it on the custom setting all the way to the 'cold' side, i think it looks best that way). I've never used or plan on using wireless charging so it missing that doesn't bother me. The speaker is enough for occassonal videos and what not, but I personally wear headphones 95% of the time so that's not a problem to me (oh p.s., there's a headphone jack, it's sad that's considered a plus in 2018) and once the new OnePlus wireless headphones come out, I know those things will never come off. The thing I was afraid of most was the notch, and honestly, it isn't noticable, and this is coming from someone who thought they would never even try a phone with one and if for whatever reason you just can't stand it, you can "turn it off" in the software. Storage wise 128gb is more than I'd ever need, so no sd slot isn't a minus for me either. The face and fingerprint unlock is insanley fast and this phone is unnecessarily smooth, I swear nothing can slow this thing down. And for those saying it's bad for not having water protection, just don't use the phone in the bath, you should be washing yourself anyways, and put it in your pocket when you're taking a leak, it's that easy. I hate all the people trying to put this phone down because it's missing certain features, especially the people saying wait for the next one because it will be better. Of course it will be better, but if you're in need of a new phone then I'd highly recommend it, if your phone is still good and you think you can wait a few more months for the 6t or 7 or whatever it's called, then wait. But stop putting this phone and everyone that has bought it down just because YOU don't think it's worth it. Missing those things does not make it a bad phone by any means. This phone is by far the greatest phone I've owned, I'm absolutely blown away and I feel anyone who buys it will be just as impressed and happy with their purchase. Thanks for listening, and if you bought the OnePlus 6 too, then enjoy it! I know I am.
Best review I've seen of the phone. Very well done. I've been using a 1+5 since it came out. I post pics and videos all the time, all over social media. Nobody has ever said the media quality looked like it was taken by a "cheap" phone. So much these days is focused on how good the cameras are, but the reality is, 95% of the public won't notice or care less.
Same thing with the display. Many people have seen my phone and commented how great it looks, or watched a video I show them and never commented "oh is that only a 1080p display? I could tell"... 😂
I've been COMPLETELY happy switching from a Galaxy phone (been a user since the Galaxy S1) to my 1+5.
I'll be buying the 1+6 to replace my wife's Note 5.
Keep up the good work
Corey Harmon that's basically it, many people won't even notice
Exactly, love my 1+5 and when I tell people I got 8 gigs or ram their mouths drop

2023 and I'm still using my OP6. Been more than 4.5 years now. Recently replaced my battery and it's back to being as good as a new one. One of the best phones ever. Although I stopped from updating to Android 13, because that wrecks the phone. With Android 12 it works like a charm till date. Best buy ever.
Where did you replace your battery?

One plus6 :
No stereo speakers
No wireless charging
No water resistance
One plus 6T add all that
Wireless charging is a bad idea to implement in a OnePlus. As long as there is no faster wireless charging than the Dash Charge, fast charging is more suitable.
Bhahhahahaa 1+ assholes always pushing the Ts after release ffs
Perhaps... I'm wondering the same thing.
Miidou wireless charging isn't a replacement for wired charging. It's something that adds to it.
And he was shitting on the $400 Essential Phone PH-1 that's made of high grade Titanium and Lab pure Ceramic wtf

I've got the OnePlus 5t and I'm not going to upgrade. No point really. The OnePlus 6 is an amazing phone but there's not much difference between them. Good video though.
if you start to upgrade after each 6 months well you are fucked lol unless you're rich. In your case, if you really like OnePlus I would only upgrade to OnePlus 7. 5T still a beast
I still have my OnePlus 2 and its good enough for everything! :D
Upgrade only when the 1+ "t" series releases its basically a more refined product.
My OnePlus 2 battery is fucked now, barely holds a day charge

Im a type of guy who changes phones every 3 years when it becomes very laggy , i used to buy nexus phones , now im ordering this one and i hope not to regret , all i care about if fast reaposive phone with great battery life
xotr1x these phone agree really well.
Me too
You won't regret ...i am using my oneplus one since 4 years and it's still lag free. :)
You won't regret. Bought OP6, best decision ever. The only ones whining here are Shitsung fans.
amox shitsung fans lol😂
Or you could get an S9 for the same price (or even cheaper) because they are constantly on sale now. Get wireless charging. Get expandable storage. Get the best display on the market. Get a better camera. Get a better speaker. Get local support. Don't get a notch. The only thing that it does better is the software. If that's the most important aspect for you, then by all means get the 1+6, it's still a great phone, just a bit too overhyped (as usual).
dnmc absolutely agree. I did that last year with the S8 I got mine for 550 3 months after launch. And imo is still better than this phone.
software is subjective. Also S9 has secure pay system and this china trash steals your CC info lmao
I'm still using oneplus 1. And the thing about oneplus is it ages really well. Now i need an upgrade. I can't do that with other flagships.
Sam Fisher and trusting a Korean company is any better? Dude STFU lol
Please find me a S9+ for anywhere near that price, I would love to buy one. What OnePlus are doing with their pricing is nothing short of incredible due to the longevity you get out of their phones. Samsungs deteriorate rapidly, in terms of performance and battery life.
Watching this video after my beloved OnePlus 6 died for the good after repairing it for 3 times and spending half the amount I purchased it for. Used it for 4½ years. Great phone and was really worth the price.
I am using still, 4plus years with only replacing power button and back glass
@@hgc.gaming6297 I'm still using it, no damages at all.
Gotta love that gameplay of rocket league in the background of the thumbnail. XD
Hell yeah!
"Gameplay"
Fortnite God you mean the menu?
Man said gameplay. Smdh
quality gameplay lmao
You compare this phone always to the higher end crazy phones. Would be cool to see a video comparing it to other phones in its price range to truly show that value you’re talking about agin some lesser known, cheaper phones
2018 flagship wannabe missing some major 2018 features.
He said it enough times that it will easily beat every phone on the price segment
mi 8 is coming..
im looking forward for both phones be compared
Raven White Xiaomi sucks when it comes to Android updates though. Took the mi 6 forever to get Oreo.
StickmanAirsoft PH xiaomi decided to skip a number to celebrate their 8th anniversary I think, kinda forgot where I read that, and yeah xiaomi is slow at android upgrade but the features we needed is available through MIUI updates
*1+6=7*
Every body knows that
Anand Sharma Quick maths
So basically it's 7
You got that wrong the first time didn't you? That edited at the end says it all
Jesus fuck, a joke that has been around since the birth of the Oneplus One.
just not funny，bro....
Im watching this video because i know this phone created a revolution in whole mobile industry in 2018!
Absolutely not
Didn't OnePlus used to sell their phones in the $400 range? Everyone bumped their prices in the last couple of years, that's a bummer.
Ian Buck there brand is more known now and also inflation is a thing
David T inflation is a thing, but technological progress is faster than inflation. It should be possible to get better phones for cheaper than in the past.
Nah because phones use rare minerals which are going up in price as they are used more, technology is advancing to use more expensive materials.
Consider what people get for this bumped up price now. Its still the oneplus spirit but got way more serious than ever
David T true, but desktops/laptops also use those materials, and their prices have plummeted.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
The RAM is insane. It starts out at 6 GB, while other more expensive smartphones start at 4 GB and go up to 6 GB for more money. It also goes up to 8 GB unlike most phones and combined with 256 GB storage it's STILL cheaper than the CHEAPEST S9 with only 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage.
Naud van Dalen RAM is not the only criteria for speed and performance. Iphones and Galaxies have always had less RAM and still beaten every other phone in performance. So a bigger RAM than S9 doesn't mean it's better.
Akshay Patil but now this phone has managed to pretty much wreck samsung and iphone in terms of performance
RAM usage is a bit high though. I've got the 8GB/128GB OP6 and at idle with apps closed and a couple of widgets, there's 4-4.3GB RAM usage.
L3ON That's because android, even when all the apps are closed, keep them in the memory to boost load times of apps. It's not OnePlus's fault.
+Salinda Samarakoon, even when you close all the apps through swiping them away and it says "Optimal condition" it's still, using 4~ gb ram.
Congrats Marques on 20m views!
Watching this on my OnePlus 5. It's been 18 months since I bought it and I've got to say that it has held up pretty well.
A+ battery life and performance.
Good enough camera and great software.
OnePlus offers so much value for money compared to almost 3 times priced flagships here in India.
I was tempted to buy the OnePlus 6 but I'll just wait and see what OnePlus does next year.
OnePlus can you please bring back the headphone jack? It's coming from a big fan. 😐
Fact is wireless charging is seriously a gimmick its not tht advanced....charges way tooo slow n heats up th device...so to b frank it wont b missed a big deal...but yeah a few cars these days provide tht but again its not a deal breaker feature...I would happily trade wireless charging for a dash charge any day...
akash C also u wont have much support for wireless charging unless you hav a lot if tym to charge your device by keeping it in the same place n not using it..seriously wireless charging tech has a lot more work to be done on it...its not atal advanced enough...I hardly use it during day...night tym is th best tym to use it while sleepin
Swaroop Chavan wireless charging is already getting a lot of support. You just said a few cars are already providing it.
However, I prefer to carry my dash charger and as ironic as it sounds it's a lot more convenient... If I have to use it, only a couple minutes will solve the rest of my day. While on regular or wireless chargers you either get just a little charge (without using your phone) or let it charging for too long.
Jean Carlos Grullón perfectly explained buddy👍🏼
i cant read what you wrote
Wireless charging is fine. It doesn't heat my phone up any more than wired charging. I'm not sure how you deluded yourself. OnePlus fanboy much?
Hey Marques, Android Developer here
Devices that have Oreo or above are "Project Treble ready" (I think you've mentioned this in past video(s)), but the good thing here is Google is now pushing OEMs to adopt it, in the very near future the minimum SDK / Android version will gradually get upped.
Meaning any app wishes to get published or updated will now have a minSdk, so if OEMs what their devices to be compatible, they need to "keep up" with Android.
Finally getting rid of old Android versions, that'll make apps so much better and the devs will start to get a break from the whole fragmentation, hence Google is starting to partner up with other OEMs for betas, that way they get more testing.
By far, the largest problem with Android OS's was the timescale for which the OS's existed. 4.x stayed for nearly over 2 years, which I think is ideal and perfect for users to get used to the OS, developers to produce apps, and for OEM's to sell new phones that come with the OS.
But now it seems as though a new OS gets released every 3 months, which is too fast for users to get used to (too much novelty), too less time for developers to update their apps, and too less time for OEM's to modify the hardware to support the new OS
Ahnaf Abdullah project treble addresses that issue. Im going to assume you're not a Dev, if so sorry for non-technical explanation... Basically OEMs are given a set of instructions, like a contract that the hardware has to follow, and Google will handle the integration on the OS side, so any device that runs Oreo or above will see updates way faster, OEMs have an easier transition since the contract remains the same. This exactly what happens on the iOS world, but Apple controls both the software and the hardware.
That being said, the way we develope apps has been historically hard and painful, and Google is addressing these issues while bringing the whole platform to the modern age. Trust me it is a good thing ;)
Also development cycle is around 2weeks, so we always update apps hehe
your most watched video of all time
sukhigrewalVEVO because OnePlus turned it into an ad without his consent
Who said..........he gets paid i believe..........
sukhigrewalVEVO It was an ad
@@thechillmaster5836 lol no
I'm still using it in June 2021, never looked back and it'll still go strong the next few years. It's the Lenovo Thinkpad in form of a phone. Built like a tank, always served me well.
When someone does an honest review and if he/she likes the product, the reviewer is attacked as being paid...so if you wear Nike because you like it then it's OK to say you're being paid by Nike. Just looking at how MBL presented this review, I don't think he was paid. Dude, seems like he was honest in how he felt about the phone...he even did a video where he prefers the Google Pixel 2 camera over others. Guess Google is paying him too, right?
if you look on his twitter he's about as confused as us- he doesn't mind the advertising he just wasn't told it was gonna be advertised so much
I just got this video as an ad on youtube.
BigStarGamer probably by one plus
BigStarGamer iki
its messed up.
We need a OnePlus X Two
I agree other than its battery that was one of the best "budget" phones ever made.
Love the size of the OnePlus X. Would definitely buy a OnePlus X2.
yes we do
Pleaasee
Legit the nicest looking phone OP has made
The review of the phone he uses as a daily driver is his most viewed video. Fitting.
YT is wierd when it comes to recommendations, still i went and watched it on my OP6. So it's August 2020 and many things have imrpoved over the time, performance is awesome till date no lag or hiccups and I use gcam mod and pics outcomming from it are way more better than the stock app.
@Mazda Zohaib Cool, i feel 7T pro design is better than 8 Pro's, full screen no notch or punch hole.
Jan 2021 and I'm still rocking my Oneplus 6 and it's still holding up 👌
I have the one plus 5 and a Samsung galaxy s8. I'm always using the one plus coz it's so smooth and fast. The wireless charger is just a waste. It's cool. I used it for the first few weeks coz it was exciting and cool, but it's so slow. I've never used it since. For the money, tell me a better phone than the one plus. I'll definitely wait for the next one plus coz I'm pretty happy with the 5 right now. Stereo speakers and IP are a must have these days. They are not in yet coz one plus has to keep the prices low. They are definitely coming in the future of the one plus devices.
Bought the oneplus 6 when it released, and 4 years back. Still running this beast. My buttons have stopped working, but the performance is still top notch and the battery life is great. Damn, what happened to oneplus?
This was the first MKBHD video I watched, as a review before buying the phone. Stuck with both of them since then. 😂
How is it phone
That wallpaper on the phone looks super Dope 👌🔥
Prabhjot Singh its deadmau5
James Watson wallpaper name plzz
James Watson in which app i can found this
It's called Flutter Flight on Backdrops
Ben Pollard thanks buddy. its a great wallpaper app
The last great OnePlus phone for price and performance. Kinda sad Oneplus have gone for full flagship phones now
That's what good companies do... They lure you in with good phones at affordable price and when you get you hooked to the brand they go flagship
@@anirbanchakraborty1464 Not necessearly..... People wanted a OnePlus flagship... And the company made it.... People want a budget OnePlus... They are making one.
I rest my case.
@@GymofRCdo they are making it to gain some more fans for the brand... Phone companies make the most profit when they can sell flagships... Every company wants to make only flagships... That's what OnePlus wl also do... Also no one wanted oneplus to make a flagship... Everyone wants flagship level specs in mid range cost
I'm still using my OnePlus 6 phone 4 years later. The battery is quite bad and, without battery saver on, it dies really quickly. However it charges insanely fast so it's not really a problem. I once dropped it in water but the only noticeable change was the speaker quality - but even that got fixed after playing music at maximum volume and once the water had evaporated. It's insanely durable - I only have a single crack. It's gotten somewhat slow and pictures sometimes take 5 seconds to take (and the cameras are quite bad). But, for playing music, texting, looking at TH-cam, browsing social media, writing, etc. it's still a good phone.
Same battery experience...
A year later and I still have it. It is in pretty much the same condition it was a year ago.
Why people care a lot about wireless charging ? Most of the people don't us it and is not that useful.
Juan Felipe Carvajal J. Exactly. It's a gimmick TBH.
Juan Felipe Carvajal J. I use it with my S9+. I find it very useful. I rarely ever use my wired charger that came with my phone. The Samsung wireless charging stand is also very fast.
Adrenaline Rush wireless charging is way too slow for charging your phone, that's why I never use it.
Juan Felipe Carvajal J. It's not that all people want wireless charging, many people are just annoyed at the glass back and no wireless charging to justify it.
The design is excellent. However, I hate how all the android phones that have adopted the notch still include a large bottom chin. Wish an android phone could look like the iPhone X, which has no chin :(
Neal Jalal look at the Vivo X21 almost no chin and bezels
Neal Jalal bcs the screen is hard to bend to buttom and bcs of that the iphone screen is expensive bcs it can bend to bottom
The oled panel needs to be curved at the bottom to minimize the chin as apple did with the iPhone X. This method is however quite expensive and would not be worth doing for a $500 phone.
I heared that apple patented the screen of the iphone x so no one could make a screen without the “bottom chin”
Neal Jalal just disable it!
Have a look at the Xiaomk Mi Mix 2S: SD845 6/64GB costs 499€ in Italy while OP6 SD845 6/64GB costs 529€. And they both have Android P beta. Mi Mix's secondary camera is more useful, and it also has better audio. It lacks the headphone jack but also lacks a notch. It has wireless charging and Quick Charging. It may be great to see a battle between the two. And the developing community of Xiaomi is also quite active, so even if the stock experience is MIUI and not AOSP like, there will be plenty AOSP ROMs out there. If you can, test them one against the other and also do camera comparison (with both stock camera app and XDA's Google Camera).
Terabit Tech nah he doesnt review trash brands
Ahh. These one plus haters.
Karthik Nayak I'm not a OnePlus hater. Actually, OnePlus has always been on of my favourite phones every year.
MARTEL WEBBER What trash brand?
I mean, I have an op3t and I love xiaomi, it's a very good brand and it's getting famous here in Europe. At least, in Spain is now the third best selling brand and not long ago Apple was there
The downfall of oneplus has been insane
Worst phone ow
The quality of your work is awesome! Keep it going bro
Moved to iphone 7plus to op6 and im mindblown with all the features and flexibility
In today's world you pay less for customised UI phone but pay more for stock UI ...... What logic!🤔
That idea comes from" tech experts" so people follow it like a trend.
Well...it's easy: the stock UI is actually an UI created and optimized by the second-most valuable company in the world, which naturally can afford the best designers and developers. That's why people are willing to pay more for it.
Miui and emui are absolute garbage fests, same goes for most heavy skins except Samsung experience UI. Stock usually runs better and is more reliable.
Well imagine if every manufacturer had the same UI. Would be a bit boring isn't it
Saw this on my recommends. And here I am, watching it on my 3 year old OnePlus 6. Love this phone
seriously!!!!!!
