OnePlus 6

Technical specifications

I fully confirm the positive opinion of OnePlus 6 from 20 Feb 2022. I have been using the phone for 4 years, and it still performs like new in every respect. In terms of functionality, the iPhone is significantly inferior to it. I will certainly remain faithful to this brand; from what I can see, if I ever have to replace the phone, it will be due to mechanical damage...

This is the best phone I have ever had in my entire life. Practically devoid of any flaws. I say this as a former owner of the N95 8GB (considered one of the best phones of all time), the first Galaxy S, and the current owner of a OnePlus 9 Pro. I was (and am) satisfied with all these phones, but the OnePlus 6 was simply 10/10. However, not everything new is worse.

It served me for 4 years and I used it very intensively. It ended its life because of a fall, entirely through my fault. In fact, it still works, the poor thing does not realize its screen is black. Almost nothing lagged until the very end of its life. Even the camera was very good for the price. The phone fit perfectly in the hand, it had a design optimized for use simply by the human hand. Especially thanks to the fingerprint scanner located on the back, in the most natural place. Additionally, it was made of high quality materials. No IP rating, but in practice the device turned out to be waterproof for me. The screen was great, the battery was great, the connectivity was great, the performance was great, everything was sensational for its time.

Oxygen OS from version 9 to 11 is pure poetry. It is impossible to release Android in a better version. The only Android phone in which I changed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, no root, no custom ROM, no TWRP, I even left the stock launcher. And everything was smooth, free of shortcomings and bugs. At least those are my personal experiences.

In fact, the only drawback is the USB operating in the 2.0 standard, which means quite slow data transmission. The lack of a memory card slot (256 GB) does not bother me, but combined with the not very fast USB, it is a shortcoming. Well, one could also complain about the lack of wireless charging.

My "former" phone. I have many wonderful memories with it, but perhaps first I will mention a drawback: A slightly inferior camera - by no means is it tragically bad, it is possible to take a good photo in good lighting, but nevertheless, it falls short of even the top phones of that time.

Now let's move on to the advantages:
- Fast system performance
- Very good screen quality (about its durability below)
- No major stutters or bugs despite its age
- Fast charging and a good battery (one could remember to charge it 15 minutes before leaving, and the power drawn during that time could still be enough for half a day of work)
- Very convenient mute slider
- Durable screen (literally the phone frame bent like a boomerang, and despite the clear curvature, the screen did not crack and remained fully functional).

Before the OnePlus 6, I used the iPhone 4s and 6s, and currently, I own a Pixel 7. However, if this phone were to be released again (even without changing the internal components) with a guarantee of updates, I would gladly return to it (which is why I am somewhat considering the OnePlus 12 :D). In short - the OP 6 is the most wonderful device I have ever used!

Hello, I have been an owner of this model for only a few days, but I have never felt such positive energy while using this phone. I have owned many brands, from the lowest to the highest tier; phones are my hobby. No matter how I write it, even if I did not want it to sound like an advertisement for this model, it will sound like one anyway. It is love at first touch, a truly fantastic product, great craftsmanship and fit; this model has no flaws, everything works very efficiently and fast, nothing is able to stop it. Am I missing anything? I think everything is here, even an infrared port. The camera – I do not know, I am not a photographer. Let the experts speak on that. From my side, it is truly great, and I have some experience, but that is my personal opinion. If you are looking for truly fast equipment and perfect craftsmanship, do not hesitate, just buy it. This is a product of the highest quality. I recommend it!

I have been using the phone for 4 years and I bought it second hand, as a complete set. It was well maintained, but the battery was already worn out... After replacing the battery, the phone lasts 1,5-2 days with daily use. With heavier use, it lasts 1 day. The camera is adequate, but not exceptional. On the downside, there is only one speaker. Immediately after the purchase, I switched to LineageOS. Currently, it is LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15). The phone works perfectly. Weekly security updates. Fast charging. The display is fine, calls, BT, Wi-Fi and others work without problems. Probably one of the better phones I have had (and I have had over 200 of them since 1997) :) I am considering switching to the 7T PRO or 9 PRO, but opinions about overheating are divided, and for the time being, I am postponing it. I recommend this OP6 model if you want a reliable phone for daily use.

Like every Android phone. In the beginning everything works very well, the battery holds its charge, and no performance issues occur. Over time, of course, the battery loses its capacity (perhaps 2 or 3 years it is fine, later I started charging the phone 2-3 times a day), you have to be careful about the amount of free memory because when only 10 gigabytes of free space remain, the system starts to slow down, the cameras were quite weak from the beginning and the camera application can stop working and then it cannot be started for some time. The last system update was in November 2021. When this phone had its premiere it was quite good but certainly not perfect, at that time I would not have called it a flagship device, but rather a good middle range device.

Great phone, what is important to me is that it is fast and does not freeze even though I use several applications at once, it fits nicely and pleasantly in the hand like a good breast :-) of chicken of course.
I recommend it to those who are looking for a fast former flagship, it is well-fitted and nothing creaks, only one thing is missing for this class, a stereo speaker.

I have been using the phone for 6 years. It works without any faults. I considered "switching" to oneplus 12 but I cannot find anything to complain about with my oneplus 6, which is why I am staying with the "old" one. The best phone I have ever had.
