[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] -Ric-:
Neither. I know that "nearly stock" Android, with very few stutter is a very tempting thing but... You'll get a WAY worse screen (don't let anyone tell you the difference is minimal, it's bull****, the difference is huge), you'll get way worse speakers, you'll get a way worse camera, you'll lose the option to charge wireless, you fully lose the vibration motor (the one in the oneplus 6 is so damn awful, you literally won't believe it until you don't feel it, vibration mode is basically useless unless the phone is in your hand or on a surface like glass). The only advantage the OnePlus 6 has is the software. If you were coming from an older phone, I'd absolutely recommend you the OnePlus 6, it's a great phone. But coming from an S9+? You're giving up more than you realize and you're definitely going to regret it after some time.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
I was so tempted for OP 6 but the camera is not up to the mark I am using Note 8!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Thanks for telling me about the OnePlus! What about the Huawei?? Also are their any other phones put there that you could recommend?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
Huawei P20 Pro looks good but I dunno about its software, though its looks good.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
That guy is FOS. Do I need to spell it out what that means?

"WAY worse screen"

Not even close. The screen is excellent. I've used Samsung flagship phones up to Note7, and I have had extensive experience with an S9. Aside from the resolution, the screen is nearly perfect. Beautiful colors, great brightness and in-sun visibility. Everything else - color temp, viewing angles, hues, color reproduction etc. are nearly perfect. Made by Samsung too.

"way worse camera"

Some truth to that. S9 camera is with no match. Even P20 Pro in my opinion is worse. But OP6 camera is not WAY WORSE. That's ridiculous. This man is inebriated with his own flatulence.

" you'll lose the option to charge wireless"

True.

" you fully lose the vibration motor (the one in the oneplus 6 is so damn awful, you literally won't believe it until you don't feel it"

That's just false. No more comments needed. The man is plain wrong.

"but coming from an S9+? You're giving up more than you realize and you're definitely going to regret it after some time."

I loved the S9. But OP6 is also good. Very fast.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] -Ric-:
Lol. The screen on the S9+ is nowhere near the quality of the OnePlus 6's. Did you read me say that the OnePlus 6's is bad or has any issues with viewing angles and so on? No, you did not. My point was that no matter how good the OnePlus 6's screen is, the S9's ****s on it. It's not just resolution, it's everything, even brightness.

The vibration motor on the OnePlus 6 is crap. Absolutely garbage. Coming from a Galaxy s8, the difference is night and day. The motor on the OnePlus 6 is tiny, weak, soft and it even makes an annoying sound when typing with haptic feedback on. Just google it and see how many more people are complaining about the issue. (The 3T and other OnePlus phones also suffered from this issue).

That was exactly my point. The OnePlus 6 has better, faster software. That's all. In everything else, the S9+ is superior.

The guy asked for an opinion, if you wanna be a blind fanboy, that's fine. But when trying to help someone decide where they'll spend 500$+, either give them fair advice or just stay quiet.

Edit: I missed this one.

Have you ever even looked at raw files produced by both? Have you even done any serious photography with both? I'm not even gonna comment. If you believe the OnePlus 6's camera is anywhere nearly as good as the S9's, you're just delusional.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] croques:
Huawei p20 pro in the uk comes with pre-installed binaries that over-write the 2nd boot splash screen permanently (Three network). It is corporate graffiti that devalues your phone's resale value. Also installed at the system level are Facebook binaries that report who knows what about your use of the phone. You cannot remove them. You can no longer get the codes to unlock your bootloader in order to root your phone. The USA have banned Huawei and so should you.

Get a Oneplus for peace of mind and £300 to spend on something else.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] limafranco:
I'm a former S8 user and owning OP6 now.

I wouldn't switch from a S9+ for any of those.

Main reason I left S8 was battery life, but this doesn't happen in the Plus variant.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] -Ric-:
1: No, I'm not. And anyone who's used both knows that. The screen gets brighter, the colors are brighter, the viewing angles are better, the overall image is sharper even at 1080p.

2: No need to exchange anything, it's a known issue. Everyone has it except you and 5-10 more people. Clearly your phone is perfect and everyone else's is defective.

3: duh.

4: I don't need to eat my words, but I like how you didn't answer my question. I'll ask it again. Have YOU ever done any serious photography with both phones? Do you even know anything about it? Or you're just gonna link me to more bull**** articles? Anyone who's ever used a professional-grade camera knows how full of **** dxomark is.

5: Yes, the moment you start a sentence with "you're full of ****" and then not only agree with half of my points but fail to properly debunk the others, you're a fanboy speaking from the heart and not from the brain.

I'm out.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I have had my S9+ since March, the battery was phenomenal for the first 2 months since then it has gone totally down hill!! It's a nightmare lol
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] limafranco:
Really? This was after oreo update?

If so, makes sense. Samsung really messed up with Android 8 battery life

Enviado de meu ONEPLUS A6003 usando o Tapatalk
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Well the S9+ shipped with Android 8, yet phones like the OP6 and P20 Pro are running 8.1!

But yes the battery life is getting worse, even with resolution on WFHD instead of QHD!!

I do hope an update is released soon!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
How did you get this bitter? Was it the phone?

Exchange that defective pos, and get better.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] papashex:
I understand the need for new toys and experimenting with what's available.

I skipped P20 and went with op6 because there was no physical home button on the front. Once you enable nav bar gestures (and hide nav bar) you're in full screen heaven.

I don't worry about super mega pixel photos. If I get a decent image that's all I need. The rest of the hardware / os response is great.

Been a Samsung fanboy since the captivate days but the curved edges just don't do it for me. Loved the note series but my note 8 sits unused and I'll not buy the 9.

Besides, the price for performance is right. I just wish they had the red model at launch.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
I've honestly never understood all this fighting over smartphone cameras.

Speaking as someone who has actually taken photos for publication, I would never shoot anything of substance with my phone. If it matters, I'm using a DSLR and so is any other professional photographer worthy of the name. I've never met a single photographer using a smartphone for anything beyond social media posts and novelty value.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
ive had both

op6 all the way

camera not THAT much different unless your blowing up pictures on a 70" screen.

lag on the p20 pro is absurd for a flagship
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
You say that about the lag yet other people have had none whatsoever, I'm not a gamer so not a single game will be downloaded.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
This is the one I have found guys, I either am or I'm not picking it up on Tuesday, keep your opinions coming in, or should I keep my S9+ a little longer!!!!View attachment 4553043View attachment 4553044
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
This should not happen on Vodafone I have been told so fingers crossed!!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
It's more about being somewhere when you don't have your DSLR with you, either because you can't bring it or you weren't expecting to see something worthy of taking a photo of. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dc82:
I have both, no lag at all on the P20 pro. That being said, if you're bored of the S9 sounds like you might be bored of OEMS or at least phones without a fast upgrade history. The OnePlus I think is the more flexible device as far as fun factor. I think you'd be less likely to get bored since you have more OS options.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
I trade my S8 plus in for a Oneplus 6, nice phone so far only knock off is the battery compared to the s8 plus I have 2 hours sot less even when the aod activated on the s8 plus.

For a good rom community u need to get a Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro.

Oneplus development is not like the early days compared to those times is lesser and lesser with each phone.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
How about the camera after the new update as compared to S8 plus?

And do you notice that notification vibrations and haptic vibrations are little weird? Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
Vibration is not so bad, I didn't use the camera on the s8 and oneplus 6 much so I cannot judge it does the job and it is fine.

The speaker is on the opposite side than the Samsung I need to getting used to and not cover it with my fingers.

In the beginning I was missing the always on display a lot it is a really useful feature, it is also possible on the Oneplus 6 but the battery usage is way more than on my S8 plus.

The praised face unlock on the oneplus 6 works only in daylight and it is the fastest that I've ever seen but if it is dark it won't work.

I did see the Android P beta 3 for the oneplus 6 the ui of oxygen os is finally upgraded to stock Android P and I am excited about it! :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mackmiller974:
I do the same thing! So far I've used the Note 8,LGv20,LGG6,IPhone X and Oneplus6! I really do like my OP6 so I'll probably hold on to this until I can get one of those Bezel less phones like the Oppo Find X and hopefully the S10! I've noticed a lot of people get bored with the S9 lately. I wonder why so many people are moving on from the phone
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
I get bored of my Note 8 now I am thinking to go for OP6 or HTC U11+ (I was reading about it I really liked it personally)

Though I am seriously confused which one to go for!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mackmiller974:
Hmm tough choice. It depends on what your looking for. If Performance and top notch cameras are important to you then go with oneplus. If a good display, Great Speakers and Amazing battery life is what's important then go with HTC.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
I loved my HTC phones but all three died of various hardware faults within 1-2 years. I do miss the speakers, but otherwise I'm happy with OP.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Definitely OP6!!!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
why you not asking this in the samsung section? Asking here kinda shows you made your mind already so get that oneplus!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.

Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] suarez92:
Its about what matters the most to you...

Want better camera? Go for P20 Pro.

Want fluid experience without lag whatsoever? Go for OnePlus 6.

Playing games? Go for OnePlus 6.

Hate the notch? Go for both, as you have option to hide it.

I personally choose OnePlus, because EMUI is still having problems with Instagram and Twitter and apps crash a lot. That happened all the time with my Mate 10 Pro, P10 Plus and P10. Still happening on Oreo.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
Rocking OnePlus 6 now a days its freaking fast no lags or bloatware what so ever simply love the experience, Asphalt 9 feels so great waiting for Fortnite to be released soon now??
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
P20 has a DISGUSTING front camera

absolutely horrible.

i have had both p20 pro and oneplus 6 and always go back to the OP6 - camera is more consistent, less artificial, SPEED - op6 is so much faster, my p20 pro became horribly laggy after some time. and the front camera is usable on the OP6, the P20pro had a disgusting camera setup.

S9+ would be a great phone alternative if it ran stock android, really hate TW and the bloat it comes with. not to say its not a great phone, just not aesthetically pleasing to me (curved screens make me cringe)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tecksulfur:
For me, camera sux a lot on OP6, but the performance is great, I'm still thinking of changing OP6, because I need a better camera.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] itsmohsink:
So true those curved screens on S8 S9 or Note 8 on daily use that kinda screen sucks!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Enigma87:
Get the OP 6 Racing Edition xD it's fast as hell, it doesn't have a ugly notch like the future pixel 3xl, the red one will cause neck problems, 8gb of ram...

Looking to the camera it has a excellent camera, but a mediocre software. Even tho mediocre software it takes great photographs. Those ones were taken with a faulty unit and low light conditions. The lenses were not properly aligned causing unfocused photographs.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
If i already own a S9, by this time i would unlocked it, + root + TWRP and start the fun....

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] bpodnar:
I would like to mention something about OnePlus warranty, it is valid for 2 years and if you unlock bootloader and root it the warranty is not void only software issues are not covered with warranty so it is users responsibility (makes sense because they cant be guilty if you brick your phone by yourself with installing root and custom ROMs, etc.)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] edie209:
I had a P20 Pro and I have just got a OnePLus 6 yesterday already I am preferring the OnePlus. I take alot of photos and I thought the P20's photos were soft and didn't look natural. I have only taken a few photos so far but I am liking what I see. I normally use Open Camera it didn't work to well with the P20 I know it works well with OnePlus as this is my 4th Oneplus.

Time will tell but so far I much prefer the 6

on the xl my speakers are ok but the on alarm for whathever reasons the volumer is lower ... anyway, the choise is yous

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rin_Kawasaki:
Hello, I apologize in advance for my English.

I ask you to suggest a solution to the problem described below, tried a lot of options, but they did not help.

In stock firmware there were very large values of minfree (18432,23040,27648,45158,77414,112896) because of what you can only dream of multitasking, after a short search it was decided to write in boot.img/ramdisk /init.rc line:

write/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters / minfree 8192,10240,12288,14336,16384,20480

...this did not help, the values remained the same.

I hope you have suggestions on this, in addition, I can say that the scripts for init.d also does not work with this parameter. (Other values are written perfectly, the problem is only with */lowmemorykiller/adj & */lowmemorykiller/minfree.

Hi Christian,

I'm experiencing these notifications too. I think the third one is shopping list. I imagine these are just the result of Amazon developer sloppiness/a rush to get the latest release out the door and that they will be patched/fixed sometime in the near future. They are pretty annoying, especially because I've noticed they aren't easy to dismiss.

I use the phone mainly for business purpose, like gmail, surfing, gmaps, also a lot of camera and lightroom, a bit of instagram, messaging, and a little bit for my own convenience like buying tickets, shopping online, amazon, ebay, and so on... not a single stutter or lag in now 2 months usage.
