Hi everyone, this is JD, your gadhet review friend.
OnePlus 6T was a flagship killer back then. It was one of the fastest phone back in 2018. It's a four years old phone but with the flagship Snapdragon 845 and 6-8 gigs of RAM the phone is stil useable and with its cheap price, you may find this phone really appealing in 2023.
It has a sleek design with gorilla glass protection, it has dual sim, Optic AMOLED screen, tons of custom roms and dual camera that even budget midrange phne would not be able to offer today. I think it is a budget midrange killer, this phone is a legend. Today, lets talk about the pros and cons and my recommendation.

[@gunnerman1880]

Good video I would add that I bought it as I heard it works better than others when using the hot spot and it did but now I don't need it so much but all in all its been a great phone, I have replaced the battery and it's not as good as the official/original battery. But I'm not outside much do I velcro a battery pack to the back if I am out all day. But for the price I think it's unbeatable. Currently considering replacing it but not sure what with.

[@umerbutt8201]

mine is still serving...although i have replaced the display couple of times...just ordered one plus 11 because i cant run my office profile on my 6T anymore because of no security patches .....i am going to keep 6T as well...

Watching this on my 6t, still running strong! It has it's issues but it has spoiled other phones for me. It still has the OG Oxygen OS and am afraid to switch to other phones. I have exchanged the battery 2 times and am happy I have done that!! Soo close to being perfect.

[@hellper198]

Excellent review and perspective, the OnePlus 6T is proof that depending on your personal needs and usage, you do not really need the latest and greatest mobile phone. I have a OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition and I very happy with its performance. You are absolutely correct the greatest downfall of any mobile phone as it ages is battery life.

[@GadgetRevNow]

Yeah, it might not be as good as the new phone. 😉

[@nirmalkumar7941]

Try changing battery, i got free replacement as op was clearing stocks. Even if it is charged go ahead, can make your phone new

Great AMOLED screen for consuming content.

[@utsavkumarroy912]

Watched this on my OnePlus 6T. Only problem with the phone is that the battery life is pathetic when used on mobile data. Also, the gallery app has become buggy after Android 11 update and also, RAM management has also degraded. Even after gaving 8 GB of RAM today, this phone boots out apps out of memory too soon.

[@GadgetRevNow]

Yeah, I think the older processor is also affecting this. Good share! ❤️

[@ashrafulislam5811]

Uninstalling update of gallery app made my friend's oneplus 6t smooth . It's app version problem, not oneplus 6t processor's problem .

[@TheHed94]

I have been using this phone since it launched in 2018 and I gotta say, its been a great journey. However due to the battery I'm gonna swap it for the new OnePlus 12. The only real downside is the lack of security patches, but thats about it. Especially the IP Rating is overrated... like how often ur phone goes swimming?

[@Mr.putkireiska]

So my dad bought the one plus 6t in 2018 i think and he used it for 2 years and then gave it to me Here are some things i live and some things that has Been happened to the phone while using it for long Pros -good screen - battery is quite good -the slider that cam be used to set phone to vibrate Cons from over the years -burnt picture icons to screen (tiktok home screen and the battery icons and clock) -camera is broken kinda (multiple times a day camera wont work shows an error and same for the flash -touch is begining to not work sometimes -battery when low is to 1 precent reallly fast -the notif slider wont lock on the middle option. To be expered for having the phone so long So yeah fun memories with this phone but now time for a one plus nord 3 5g 🎉

[@ginopunsalan]

My 6T is still my daily driver. I switch between my this and an iPhone 12.

[@error4159]

[@bryantnonya8704]

I wanted to add another comment after downgrading my OnePlus 6 to oxygen OS 10. I don't know where OnePlus went wrong or if it's Google who's to blame but I noticed the picture quality is much better on oxygen OS 10... Less oversaturation on web pages especially, fonts are much cleaner and easier to read because of the pristine white balance and obviously the phone is much faster because it also wiped storage... I feel like some of the speed increase is also because it's on software that was made during this phone's Hay day... I get the feeling as time goes on the software becomes less optimized for older devices... I had to share this post because I just wasn't feeling the oneplus 6 every since I got my OnePlus 8 pro and I thought maybe my eye just had more of a liking for the 8 pro. As it turns out it was just on some trash software lol. You can tell OnePlus really cared about the customer back in the day but now they just throw some trash software together and call it an update. Obviously the OnePlus 6 can't compete with the 8 pro even with Superior display calibration but the display calibration makes up for the resolution shortcomings so much that some content I feel looks far superior on the 6 than it does on the 8 pro... By the way you're not stuck on oxygen OS 11 in case that part was missed in my comment. You can search KZbin for a video that has a direct link to the downgrade package for the OnePlus 6. Even on my OnePlus 8 pro which removed the ability to update via local storage still allows you to install an app so that you can update or downgrade via local storage...

[@nirmalkumar7941]

OnePlus 6 on Android 10 and there's nothing you need to worry 😌. Thats the last true OnePlus update and I still don't see any need to get a new phone though os is old

[@bryantnonya8704]

@@nirmalkumar7941 upon further review I'm actually going to say the OnePlus 6 is best served running on oxygen OS 9.0.9. they made some kind of next level battery optimization in this ROM. I think there was a battery drain bug in oxygen OS 9.0.8 so I feel like 9.0.9 is the best ROM because this update was written specifically to address battery drain issues. Not saying battery drain is much of an issue in oxygen OS 10 because the battery life is actually pretty good but this is some next level voodoo magic I'm experiencing on a 5 year old phone right now...

Osmo pocket? Oh yeah, the downside of Osmo Pocket is, the non removable battery. See I do KZbin videos and the cameras I have should last a long time coz if you love the way your video looks, then you wanna keep it for a long time. Check with DJI if they support battery replacement.

Oneplus 6t still the best in 2024 for custom rom like Windows 11, aosp, Linux like postmarketos or Ubuntu touch

[@cool_youtuber]

Oneplus 6T is indeed legendary. I'm a programmer and I really couldn't find a phone like oneplus 6T even today. The camera is better than the camera of a Samsung phone that I bought in 2020. And in technical aspects, it's the best phone to root and use as they provide the official stock firmware online for all editions of the oneplus 6T. My oneplus 6T has been hard bricked around 8 times till now and I was still able to recover it without any damage to the hardware. It works as fast as a new phone even after messing with it that many times.
