OnePlus 6T A6013 128GB Mirror Black - US Version T-Mobile GSM Unlocked Phone (Renewed)

Advertising:The description mentioned that there would be no visible scratches from within 12" away, and I can safely say that is a true statement. The phone was, indeed, T-Mobile branded when I received it as stated. Overall, the phone is as advertised.Shipping & Item condition:Arrived on time in a nice box (not OnePlus branded, however). Packaging was adequate to prevent damaging. Unfortunately it did not come with an official Oneplus Dash Charger. I simply received an Amazon charger that wasn't even USB-C. Thankfully I already had one on the way, so it was a non-issue for me, but something you should be prepared to purchase.Price:$346.95 - At the time I purchaced this (August 2019), this was about the best bang for your buck you could get in an Android phone. Oneplus was selling the 6T on their website still for about $600 new. I suspect this price to continue to drop once the 8 and 8 Pro are announced/Released. The 7T was already released, but unfortately not being sold in the US.Build Quality/Durability:This was my major concern with buying an Amazon renewed phone. I was very worried that I'd see scratches, have software issues, poor battery, or some other unknown problem. Thankfully, it didn't have a single scratch on it and looked/performed as a brand new phone. The battery health was over 90%. Simply put, I was very surprised to get what seems like a brand new phone for so cheap.Performance:I did a ton of research before purchasing a new phone. I previously had a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, and that thing was super sluggish and terribly slow after 5 years of use. I learned that Oneplus phones don't typically slow down as much as Samsungs, or other brands, and I really liked Oxygen OS. It seems very snappy and quick to load apps. The in-display fingerprint sensor can be hit or miss at times, but I seem to average an 80% success rate when I try to unlock my phone. I know the newer 7 Pro has an even better fingerprint sensor, but in my book the difference is negligible when considering the price of the Pro. I never liked playing games on my Samsung because of how sluggish everything was, but I've been finding myself playing more on this one. It's very quick and doesn't seem to overheat like my last phone.Design/Features:- I really like OxygenOS. It is quick, clean, and simple. I did not like, however, that it was T-Mobile branded. A quick youtube search led me to a video that helped me quickly (and I'm talking only 30mins here) convert it to the international unlocked version. Now I don't have to worry about delayed OS updates or lack of support from T-Mobile. I would recommend installing an App called Oxygen Updater, as it seems the international version won't automatically push updates to your phone. You would have to seek them out and manually install them. The App does that for you and works very well.- The teardrop notch is hardly noticeable. Almost all apps and games will simply reduce the screen size, so it looks like a black bar instead of a notch. I feel like this is a better solution than the pop-up camera on the 7 Pro. Moving parts on a cell phone simply don't give me confidence.- Honestly, my favorite feature is a dedicated slider for the ring-modes. Slide up once for vibrate mode, once again for silent, and all the way down for ring. It doesn't mess with the alarm volume, which is nice, and I now no longer need to go into the settings to change my modes.- I do not like, however, that there is no longer a dedicated notification LED. I've gotten used to it, however, as there is a setting to flash the screen briefly when there is a new notification. It's just not as ideal, IMO.Overall:I can't say enough how happy I am that I was able to get a practically brand new phone for so cheap. Yes, you'll have to spend a little more for an official charger, case, etc., but you'd likely be buying many of those things anyway, right? If not, you're in even better shape. Amazon renewed products also have a 90-day return window, which is a nice piece of mind. Overall I can safely say that I'm happy with this purchase and would definitely consider Amazon renewed products again in the future.

I was looking for an upgrade from my 2 year old cheap broken phone. Thats when I came across this phone. I had heard that the OnePlus 6t was a great buget phone. I was hesitant about ordering a phone online, and then renewed, I wasnt aure. Regardless I ordered it and LOVED it.The phone came in near perfect condition in a little plastic bag. Also in the box was what looks like a decent quality Amazon labeled charging box and a black unbranded cable. Overall, you get what you need but not more. There was no pre applied screen protector, like if it was a new one, nor a Aux to type-c, nor a case and the biggest one is no OnePlus charger that chargers really fast. Just keep these in mind if ordering the phone, you won't get everything from the original box.Onto the phone. It came with like no scratches and I couldn't find one on the screen. The back however is different it can maybe 2/3 small very minor scratches, so much so that I didn't notice at first. The software experience was really nice and the phone worked like new. The battery was at 95/94% health (To check it I installed an app called AccuBattery and after 1/2 charges it tells you the approximate health. Just take it with a grain of salt as it usually requires a lot of charges to accurately calculate it. However if below 85% health beware and you might want to think about a return.)As you should know the cameras aren't great, but the speed and software and display make up for it in my book.I was able to active the phone with 0 problems and the connection never seemed to drop. At first the WiFi was acting up and I wouldn't get signal but after some updates and just time it resolved itself. I bought the Tudia Case and a SuperSheildz screen protector so now the phone is more protected. I do recommend these items they are really good.

This is a great phone, and a truly excellent value for money: I got mine for $300, which for a flagship-quality phone with flagship specs that rival most mainstream brands at $900+, is amazing. It has a version of Android that is about as close to "stock" as you get without getting a pixel phone, but there is one minor issue that happens to be a deal-breaker for me: It breaks some of the seamless integration of Google Assistant. You can still say "okay google" out loud, and hold the home or power button to start it up, but none of that helps when your phone is in your pocket.The problem is how it works with bluetooth headphones: many allow you to push a button and speak directly to Assistant, no need to even say "Okay Google". It doesn't work with this phone, and no combination of settings fixes that. Researching on OnePlus forums revealed it's an issue with all OnePlus phones. Such integration only works when the phone is on & unlocked.I make extensive use of this feature while driving, getting directions, etc., so this was a deal breaker for me. Using this is ingrained in my daily routine, and digging in my pocket and turning on the phone is a big step down in convenience and not just dangerous but generally illegal while driving.If this isn't an issue for you, you'll love this phone. If it is, you may want to check out either the Asus Zenfone 6 or Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro. They're a little more expensive, but generally still very cheap phones fairly equivalent to expensive flagships from Samsung etc. the 9t Pro goes for about $400, Zenfone 6 $500 as of this writing, but both are also slight hardware upgrades using the fastest (as of this writing) Snapdragon 855 chipset. That's still a very small difference from the OnePlus 6t Pro which uses the 845 chipset, but both of these phones also get rid of the annoying "notch" in the screen in favor of popup cameras for front-facing use.Honestly, Assistant issue aside though, you can't go wrong with this phone.
