Furthermore, it comes with Nightscape mode that can recognize night scenes and delivers brighter, more vivid images with more clarity and less noise. It would be interesting to see how this feature performs, as Google Pixel 3/3XL also comes with this sort of feature. Well, this will also be coming to OnePlus 6 via a software update soon.

OnePlus 6T: Features!

Along with powerful internals, OnePlus has also bundled a few software tricks for you to get the most out of it as the in-display fingerprint sensor, which can be configured to quick launch an app when you continue pressing it once the phone is unlocked.

In addition to that, the 6T has support for Smart Boost technology that improves app start speeds to 5 to 20% by storing data from frequently used apps in the phone’s RAM. Along with the in-display fingerprint, the 6T also features ‘Screen Unlock’, which according to the company can unlock the 6T in 0.34 seconds.

The company has retained the alert slider from the predecessor, however, it doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio jack. Apart from these, the OnePlus 6T features an all-glass body with aluminium edges, which not only increases durability but also creates a 3D effect that accentuates the signature OnePlus horizon line.
