Who even needs a headphone jack, just use the adapter if you don't like Bluetooth or type C headphones.

[@eetupe]

@@michaelgeller3661 Ok, I guess it's also personal preference. But I have been fine with the adapter when I really need a 3.5mm jack. But I think the future of smartphones is going to be no headphone jacks and mostly Bluetooth audio

@Ritik Katiyar I see the writing on the wall and know I will be forced to use Bluetooth headphones in the future but if I have to do that I want it to be by my own pace, not because the manufacturers are telling me to.

2:31 "Maybe a little disappointing for those that want a 2K screen"!! Who needs 2K or can spot the difference between 1080p and 2K? When Samsung shipped their Samsung S8 (and maybe S9) they set it at default 1080p not 1440p which it was capable of, why? Because Samsung knows you can't tell the difference on such a small screen and you save a lot of your battery life. If you get the chance, change the display settings on a phone from 1440p or 2K down to 1080p or even 720p and see if you can notice the difference, or better yet get your friend to change the settings and see if you can guess what setting it's at, I'm pretty sure most people will come to realize that anything above 1080p is unnecessary .

[@souvikc734]

You can, in VR !!! and if you pixel peep !!!

[@alexc7857]

I'd be more disappointed it doesn't have OLED than 2k because OLED you can tell the difference

I totally Disagree 1wor1d

[@nam3615]

You CAN notice the difference when you change between 1080 and 1440p. 1440 is a lot sharper and cleaner. But tbh, that sharper and cleaner is totally unnecessary in a smartphone and I used my phone in 1080. I only changed to 1440 once in a while, that too just to be amazed how clean and sharp it looked, and changed it back to 1080 cause I prefer longer battery life. XD

The Oneplus 6t is still a mess in low light. The night mode just produces bright images resulting in blown out less detailed images. The secondary lens on the 6t is just for show.

[@hauntedaccount8713]

Here's what V20 is better at -new pinch hole camera -headphone jack. -new light reflecting design. -Better Battery life (coz of bigger battery, 7nm chipset). -Latest proccessor kirin 980 is 7nm and dual NPU. -better camera(both rear and front) plus the night mode on OP6T is very unpolised as of now. Here what OP6T is better at -under display fingerprint sensor -better display(AMOLED vs LCD). -oxygen OS (many people love it i do too).

Hey thank you for sharing this review.. you have covered the camera aspects very well.. it would be really helpful if you can share/let me know in comment that does this phone has Video stabilisation/Gyro_EIS for the videos?

That Honor is just a suicider , Gcam and the OnePlus becomes a beast on camera , in display finger print sensor (any tech amateur will love it) , damn fast user experience and superb design. I don't understand that Jack port issue , i use Bluetooth headphones , also usb-c or Jack with dongle . All are working perfect for me.

[@lfgubrs]

I'm so conflicted between these phones. I want the View20 cause of its slightly better camera, battery, headphone jack and it got a very unique design, but I like Oxygen OS so much more than Magic UI. What should I get?

[@anthonyt425]

I find the omission of water resistance a little puzzling. Certainly, not a deal breaker at all for me but would think it's table stakes at this point. Hmm

It does no matter how much you like Oneplus and think it's your King. the s8/s9 and even the up coming s10 will have the headphone jack with bigger battery, no useless notch and stereo speaker. Huawei mate 20/20X and honor V20 still have headphone jack and stereo speaker. Lg V30/V40 still has the headphone jack.
