Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) review tests
Even with auto-HDR, the limits of the camera’s dynamic range are clearly being tested. Colour and bokeh are unquestionably pleasing when taking macro shots. Details break down a little too much for my liking when cropping in but it wholly depends on the shot. The front camera takes nice shots overall and offers balanced beauty controls but colours seem a little off here. As for video, you can shoot up to 4K resolution at 60fps (limited to five minutes when using these settings) and the results aren’t half bad. It isn’t going to give the iPhone XS cause for concern, partly because of the tinny audio but partly because the image stability could also be improved too. Beyond that footage is pleasing and the option of slow-motion recording at up to 480fps (at 720p) is a feature unique to OnePlus.
OnePlus 6T – Battery Life The OnePlus 6T’s 3700mAh power pack doesn’t quite top the 4000mAh behemoth found in the Huawei P20 Pro or the even more capacious 4200mAh offering used by its sibling, the Mate 20 Pro, but it’s still a winner based on my experiences. It’s clearly equipped to handle a day and a half of frequent use and I imagine that for many it’ll stretch to two days between charges without too much trouble. With 13 hours away from the wall plug and four hours of screen-on time, my OnePlus 6T finished the day at an even 50% charge. In that time I streamed 30 minutes of Netflix, which sapped 6% of the charge (with the screen brightness at half), while a 30 minute stretch of PUBG Mobile, running through multiple short, sharp arcade matches, took 8% out of the battery.

Fast Charge (formerly Dash Charge) is a big reason to buy a OnePlus. It’s been the best fast-charging standard out there for a while (although that’s starting to change) and the company has distilled the premise with simple elegance into the tagline, “a day’s power in half an hour”. With that claim in mind, I was somewhat skeptical this time around.

Increasing the capacity of the battery without increasing the rate of charge means that even Fast Charge might not be quick enough to juice up the sizeable cell inside the 6T. I was wrong to fret. A 30-minute stint at the wall plug took my OnePlus 6T from 39% to 86% charge (that’s 47%). Sure, it’s not the full 50% that I get through in my general day-to-day but its close enough. I could have switched off mobile data and Wi-Fi while it charged, turned on flight mode or switched the phone off altogether if I was desperate for a little more juice in that same time frame but I didn’t need to. What I would say is that with the combination of OnePlus’ 20W charging tech and a battery the size of the 6T’s – the company’s promise has reached its limit. Going forward, if the brand still expects to tout a day’s use from 30 minutes charge time, it’ll either have to drop the capacity of the battery in its next phone or release an improved, even more rapid version of Fast Charge.
The Options For Rudimentary Aspects Of smartphone - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) review tests
Why buy the OnePlus 6T? While you could say that OnePlus has made some sacrifices in developing the OnePlus 6T, they all seem rather subjective. Sure it’s a slightly bigger, thicker, heavier phone than the 6 but if that means a bigger battery with better longevity is it really a loss? The headphone jack’s absence is annoying for some but the phone comes with an adapter and the in-display fingerprint sensor might not have fit in the same footprint otherwise. The base price has been upped from £469 to £499 but you actually get twice the internal storage for less than what you would have paid for the same configuration on the OnePlus 6. With all these factors, the OnePlus 6T serves itself up as a worthwhile upgrade.
If you’re using a OnePlus 5 or even a 5T, the 6T is worth considering. The camera still needs a little work to be truly competitive and OnePlus is facing stiffer competition than ever before but these are factors I’m sure the company is well aware of.
