It might be available in bits and bobs, yet Google is regularly adding brand-new attributes to its navigation mobile app. Google Maps will now keep you in the loophole concerning local businesses and restaurants, lets you share your ETA with buddies using third-party apps, and now comes with improved capability on Apple CarPlay.

What it lacked was the capability for customers to report accidents as well as speeds catches. While occurrence coverage was presented to customers in other regions in July, it’s now being reduced Under.

Ausdroid has actually reported that users in Australia can now report mishaps and speed up electronic camera locations on Google Maps, which will include an icon to stand for either a crash or a speed trap.

To make use of the feature, customers need to tap on the ‘+’ within a speech bubble visible at the lower left corner of the navigation display. This will bring up an ‘Add a report’ menu with the alternatives of adding either a collision event or a rate trap.

It’s a convenient feature to have, although no-one on TechRadar’s Australian group has actually seen the update yet, either on Android or iphone. It’s feasible that the interactive feature is currently being presented to Aussie users as well as we ought to see it in the coming days. 

However, Ausdroid likewise reports that adding an occurrence report or a speed camera area doesn’t show the icons for other customers, so we may need to await even more individuals to begin registering the events for the feature to work.

Both are surfaces on a glass backing, as is common for today’s phones. We got our hands on the Twelve o’clock at night Black, and its matte texture provides a little bit of grip and also won’t hold finger prints, though not everybody were followers (a TechRadar editor believed it made the phone feel a bit economical).  

T-Mobile will start offering the 6T today in its Times Square, NYC store, and also offer goodies for the first 200 customers that enter to get the phone. For every other North American customer, the phone takes place sale November 1 on the OnePlus site and also T-Mobile online/in stores (for European customers, expect to wait til November 6).

11:55 – Accessories: the new Bullet Kind 2 headphones ($ 19.95) have a new USB-C connector and a DAC. Why? Because … the 6T doesn’t have an earphone jack. Alas, bad Yorick.

Also, the 6T loads a 3,700 mAh battery, which is bigger than the 3,400 mAh one in the OnePlus 6. In briefings, OnePlus kept in mind that software program tweaks likewise boost the 6T’s battery life.

11:40 – Cristiano Amon, President of Qualcomm Incorporated, takes the phase to talk regarding his company’s chummy partnership with OnePlus. He’s not incorrect to call it vital: having the leading Snapdragon 845 chip on the OnePlus 6T equips it to go toe-to-toe with even more costly smartphones (a few of which also pack the 845, like the Samsung S9 as well as Keep In Mind 9).

Amon ends by hinting at the guarantees of 5G and also slyly stating what T-Mobile can achieve, however no reference from him or Kiang of when it’s involving OnePlus phones, consisting of the 6T.

11:32 – OnePlus Development Supervisor Kevin Abosch, a theoretical artist that works in digital photography, is below to speak about ‘Studio Lighting,’ which should boost the 6T’s Picture Mode.

Individuals desired much better low-light performance. So, the 6T’s enhancement: Nightscape, which uses a multi-phase process (sound decrease, information optimization, HDR). As well as unlike other phones’ evening settings that take forever to fire a photo, Nightscape only takes 2 seconds, Kiang says.

Oh, an additional thing: Nightscape is likewise involving the OnePlus 6 later on this week. People who didn’t delay for the 6T: you are not forgotten.

11:18 – Here’s that new in-screen finger print sensing unit. “Technology goes to its best when it’s not noticeable,” Kiang states. Really, they had an in-screen fingerprint sensor working with the 5T last year, yet the user experience wasn’t up to par, so they waited on the 6T. And we’ve seen it in activity on the brand-new phone: the sensor works, as well as promptly.

11:00 – The hall is filled out the pier venue just southeast of Chinatown. And here we go!

10:30 – Not in New York City for the launch? Don’t be also let down, a minimum of you don’t need to wait in this line …

10:25 – Among the biggest talking points for the OnePlus 6T is just how the firm has actually verified it won’t have a 3.5 mm headphone jack. TechRadar exposed the news after an exclusive chat with OnePlus founder Carl Pei back in September.

http://www.mobilephoneadvise.com/oneplus-6t-live-blog-the-latest-oneplus-phone-launch-as-it-happened

It was only earlier in 2018 that we got the OnePlus 6, and now currently the OnePlus 6T is right here and although it doesn’t have a brand-new number in the name rather a whole lot has changed.

The OnePlus 6T has a larger screen, a larger battery, a polished layout and even some new functions, to name a few modifications. There are plenty of resemblances in between the two phones as well.

• Be certain to read our full OnePlus 6T review

OnePlus 6T vs OnePlus 6 design

Both the OnePlus 6T as well as OnePlus 6 have a metal frame as well as a slightly bent glass back, yet there are some distinctions in between them.

For one thing, while the OnePlus 6T is 157.5 x 74.8 x 8.2 mm as well as 185g, the OnePlus 6 is 155.7 x 75.4 x 7.75 mm and also 177g. The distinctions right here aren’t major, however the OnePlus 6T is slightly taller, thicker and heavier than the OnePlus 6, which are possibly not distinctions you’d have expected.

The distinctions to the look of the OnePlus 6T are much more desirable though, as it has a much smaller sized notch and also it’s in a drop form, rather than a rectangle. Additionally, the glass of the back is less damaged up as there’s no finger print scanner on the back – instead it’s built into the screen.

The readily available shades also vary, as while both phones can be found in Twelve o’clock at night Black and also Mirror Black, the OnePlus 6 is furthermore available in Amber Red as well as a limited-edition Silk White – though don’t be amazed if the OnePlus 6T gets additional shades down the line.

OnePlus 6T vs OnePlus 6 display

The OnePlus 6T has a 6.41-inch 1080 x 2340 AMOLED display screen with an aspect proportion of 19.5:9, while the OnePlus 6 has a 6.28-inch 1080 x 2280 AMOLED screen with an aspect proportion of 19:9.

So the OnePlus 6T has a slightly larger, slightly higher resolution screen, though the OnePlus 6 is hardly little, and both phones have a pixel density of 402 pixels per inch.

The OnePlus 6T must also have a tougher screen, as it’s secured by Gorilla Glass 6, while the OnePlus 6 utilizes Gorilla Glass 5.

Visually both displays are likewise rather various due to the fact that, as noted over, the OnePlus 6T has a little drop notch, while the OnePlus 6 has a bigger rectangular one.

As such the OnePlus 6T has a little more of an all-screen layout, with an 86% screen-to-body proportion (up somewhat from around 83.8% on the OnePlus 6), though both phones have a slim bezel below the display.

OnePlus additionally asserts that the 6T’s display is the company’s most power reliable and also comfortable-to-view, as well as having actually boosted illumination levels, colorful accuracy and also color ranges.

OnePlus 6T vs OnePlus 6 OS and also power

The OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 6 both make use of a Snapdragon 845 chipset as well as featured either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, so there’s no difference there.

Both phones additionally come with either 128GB or 256GB of storage, though there’s furthermore a 64GB version for the OnePlus 6, and also while the OnePlus 6T ships with Android 9 Pie, the OnePlus 6 is now upgradable to it, so the operating system is a lot the exact same too.

There are some tweaks to the user interface though. Due to the fact that the fingerprint scanner is built into the screen on the OnePlus 6T, you can proceed pushing the screen after the phone is unlocked to bring up an adjustable application shortcut, making it quicker to obtain right into your preferred apps.

The OnePlus 6T additionally adds Smart Boost to the mix. This is an attribute that’s designed to make apps launch much faster, by keeping information from regularly utilized apps in the phone’s RAM.

OnePlus 6T vs OnePlus 6 cam as well as battery

Both the OnePlus 6T as well as OnePlus 6 have a dual-lens electronic camera on the back, made up of a 16MP f/1.7 sensor with optical photo stabilization (OIS) and also a 20MP f/1.7 one without OIS. Both phones likewise have a 16MP f/2.0 video camera on the front.

However, there must be some enhancements to the OnePlus 6T’s video camera under the surface, as it obviously utilizes a new algorithm to enhance the settings for faces, message, food and night scenes.

The battery has had a larger adjustment though, as it has actually gone up from 3,300 mAh on the OnePlus 6 to a much healthier 3,700 mAh on the OnePlus 6T. Both phones sustain quick charging though.

Hopefully the bigger size will certainly lead to increased life – the OnePlus 6 lasts a rather average someday of moderate use in our tests, yet we’ll let you understand how the 6T stands when we’ve placed it via a complete review.

OnePlus 6T vs OnePlus 6 rate and also availability

The OnePlus 6T will hit shops on November 6 as well as costs $549/ £499 (concerning AU$ 780) for a variation with 6GB of RAM and also 128GB of storage, rising to $579/ £529 (concerning AU$ 825) for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and covering out at $629/ £579 (around AU$ 895) for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The OnePlus 6 on the various other hand begins at $529/ £469 (around AU$ 750) for a variation with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, so that’s slightly much less than the beginning rate of the 6T however with half the storage.

There’s then a variation with 8GB of RAM as well as 128GB of storage space for $579/ £519 (roughly AU$ 825), as well as a design with 8GB of RAM as well as 256GB of storage for $629/ £569 (approximately AU$ 895). The similar designs are valued the very same whether you choose a OnePlus 6 or 6T.

Of program, shops are most likely to begin supplying the OnePlus 6 for much less now that the OnePlus 6T is out, yet just as you could not have the ability to acquire the older phone anywhere for much longer.

Takeaway

The OnePlus 6T is a substantial upgrade in some means and not much of one whatsoever in others. The in-screen finger print scanner and smaller sized notch are probably the heading features, however you likewise get a bigger battery, a slightly larger screen and behind the scenes improvements to both the screen and video camera if you go with the OnePlus 6T.

Power as well as storage on the various other hand aren’t much changed – though it’s wonderful to see OnePlus retiring the 64GB dimension that it offered the OnePlus 6 in.

The 6T probably isn’t a phone to update to if you already have the OnePlus 6 (as well as you actually most likely shouldn’t be upgrading your phone every six months anyway), yet if you’re shaking an older or lower end phone then maybe a solid selection, especially as it sets you back around the very same amount as its predecessor.

• Check out the ideal mobile phones you can buy

http://www.mobilephoneadvise.com/oneplus-6t-vs-oneplus-6-what-difference-did-half-a-year-make

We’ve just heard about the OnePlus 6T, a brand-new phone that has a couple of remarkable upgrades on the lauded OnePlus 6. Its beefed-up specs as well as functions, along with the very first in-screen fingerprint scanner in the US market, make it an actual challenger to challenge more expensive devices. 

While it might not have the ability to go toe-to-toe with pricey front runners apple iphone XS or Google Pixel 3, the 6T could compete versus phones in the next-highest cost tier. 

So we’ve pitted the 6T versus an appropriate opponent, the Samsung Galaxy S9, to see where the scrappy upstart stands in contrast with the king of small front runner smartphones.

Design

The Samsung S9 is the smaller sized of both at 147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5 mm and 163g. Compare that to the OnePlus 6T at 157.5 x 74.8 x 8.2 mm (barely larger than the OnePlus 6 to consist of the in-screen finger print sensor) as well as a slightly much heavier 185g.  

Each phone has a glass back and also glossy finishes, though OnePlus 6T likewise has a matte appearance, yet that’s it for variety. That’s unlike the variety of shades that the Samsung S9 is available in, as you can only get the 6T in black (in the meantime).  

On the rear, the S9 has a finger print sensor below its cam while the 6T doesn’t: the new OnePlus phone’s noteworthy attribute is an in-screen sensor embedded in its front. In our screening, this functioned really well. 

The phones likewise comparison in their physical button format. The S9 has its much-maligned dedicated Bixby switch on the left side, which we periodically accidentally pushed when toggling volume or sticking the phone in our pockets. The OnePlus 6T retains its predecessor’s three-position button on the appropriate side to move between ring, vibration and quiet setting, an ease that’s rare in today’s phones. 

Catch-all comparisons: The OnePlus features double SIM ability, therefore does the S9 – unless you’re acquiring one in the United States, which is single-SIM just. The S9 has an official IP68 water and dust security rating, while you’ll just have to take OnePlus’ word for it that the 6T is water resistant enough. Oh, and there’s one various other huge distinction: the 6T shed its headphone jack, while the S9 still has one. 

As with several Android mobile phones, both phones show up so similar that it’s hard to provide one an edge over the various other, but the S9 has a somewhat classier appearance, maintains its headphone jack as well as is offered in a plethora of colors. The edge goes to Samsung’s phone, unless you absolutely need to have the biggest device.

Display

Speaking of size, there’s a genuine difference in between the 2 phones, though that doesn’t tell the whole story. 

The Samsung S9 has the smaller sized display at 5.8 inches, yet its AMOLED display screen is available in high-resolution Quad HD+ (2960×1440), which gets to an impressive 570 ppi pixel density.

The OnePlus 6T has a bigger 6.41-inch 19.5:9 AMOLED display screen, though its 2340×1080 resolution handles just 402 ppi. 

You encounter a predicament: much better resolution or bigger screen dimension? But the far better inquiry is, will you even notice? Possibly, as the S9 has one of the sharpest displays out there, and in side-by-side contrasts, the Samsung display was unquestionably crisper. But you need to scrunch up your eyes to see it. 

The other distinctions are a lot more stylistic. The S9 display screen features Samsung’s signature bent sides, which don’t simply look trendy – you can likewise allow motion controls focused around these glossy margins, though you could neglect concerning them (we did).  

Then, of course, there’s the notch concern. The S9 doesn’t have one, though it’s basically just passed out the areas beside the front-facing video camera. The 6T has a notch, though it’s smaller sized than the vanilla OnePlus 6: they shifted around a sensor so the screen hugs the front cam very closely. Regardless, you can black out the “ears” surrounding to the video camera if you hunger for a notchless life.

All told, the S9 wins this round, though the OnePlus 6T didn’t underperform by any type of ways. It ought to be noted that the S9 also deals with the Gear VR and Google Virtual Reality arrangements, while it’s unclear if the 6T deals with any kind of Virtual Reality arrangement. That’s not something everyone will certainly respect, however it is added functionality. 

OS and power

While Samsung has actually taken its time slowly presenting Android 9 Pie in various alpha and beta waves for screening, OnePlus 6T launches with it currently mounted. While we haven’t messed around much with the updated OS on the phones, if newest is best for you, the 6T might have the edge.

But if we’re speaking about brand name OS overlays, that’s up to your taste. 

The S9 features the suite of Samsung apps as well as user interface, which doesn’t look to have changed excessive for Android 9. The 6T, on the other hand, comes with the expected minimalist choice of OnePlus applications, which is much better for the user that prefers third-party programs in a light-weight interface.

Performance-wise, the 6T comes packed with an octa-core Snapdragon 845 chip, and so does the Samsung S9 – but only in certain markets (including the US). In the EMEA regions, the S9 comes packed with the much more effective, Samsung-developed Exynos 9810 cpu. The S9 only includes 4GB of RAM, while the 6T can be bought with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM.

Going by Geekbench 4 records, the S9 (Exynos 9810 edition) racked up a respectable 8,721 points, which in our testing puts it only below a handful of more recent Android phones along with Apple’s apple iphone X and iPhone XS. The brand-new 6T, on the other hand, scored 8,846 on our Geekbench 4 examinations.  

The capacity of the 6T’s 3,700 mAh battery exceeds the 3,000 mAh battery in the S9. Simply just how much battery life the previous has beyond the last won’t be clear until we do some even more screening with the two phones together.

Given its side in specs, efficiency, and also the truth that phone currently has Android 9 Pie while the various other is taking its time rolling the new OS out, we’re giving this area to the OnePlus 6T.

Camera

The camera is where many midrange phones reduced corners, however both the S9 and OnePlus 6T have decent performance from extremely different setups. 

The Samsung S9 packs just a solitary 12MP lens, however it’s double aperture, and can shift between f/1.5 (for lower-light shots) as well as f/2.4 immediately (for brighter scenes). This works intelligently, but you can just get a lot efficiency out of one lens.

The 6T has 2 lenses, a 16MP main and 20MP sensor, both at f/1.7. While it took great photos, users grumbled concerning poor low-light performance, so OnePlus added the Nightscape setting to deal with those concerns. 

The S9 definitely has the edge in slow-motion footage: it’s with the ability of capturing 960fps at 720p for breathtakingly slow-moving video (like, also much more dragged out than those slow-motion shots in Creation), Meanwhile, the 6T takes care of a reputable 480fps at 720p, or 240fps at 1080p.

Honestly, both phones have enough pros as well as cons that it may be up to taste. The S9 likely has a side as a result of the much more durable Samsung camera interface. 

Price and availability

By price, the 6T has a significant advantage, as it starts at $529/ £499 for 6GB of RAM/ 128GB of storage, $579/ £529 for a bump up to 8GB of RAM with the same 128GB area and a top version for $629/ £579 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. 

The S9 is priced greater, beginning at $719 (£739/ AU$ 1,199) for 64GB of storage with 4GB of RAM as well as climbing to $839 for 256GB of area. The phone has been out long enough that you can likely locate a discounted opened version (maybe on our convenient US deals and UK deals pages.

It’s a bit simpler to get your hands on a Samsung S9, which most providers sell and also sustain. It introduced back in March, so even finding an unlocked phone shouldn’t be too hard. 

The OnePlus 6T … not a lot. T-Mobile is the only service provider marketing the phone in the United States, which goes on sale in shops as well as online on Nov 1 (or for European customers, Nov 6). And also T-Mobile will certainly only sell the 8GB RAM, 128GB storage space design in mirror black for $629. Verizon will support the 6T, but not sell it.

Takeaway

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and also OnePlus 6T are rather uniformly matched, which is a testament to OnePlus as the underdog here. In terms of large value, we’d give the match to the 6T. 

Of course, there’s a whole lot much more going on than a basic cost-to-specs equation. The OnePlus does not have the heavily-refined Samsung interface that loads a whole lot of bells and whistles in its fancy framework. The 6T also has a notch and likewise disregarded its earphone jack.

In other words, it’s type of an image finish in between these similar-looking yet significantly different phones, and also the last boost might boil down to which user interface you favor as well as which features you can’t live without. 

Think hard on whether you desire the Samsung S9’s very experienced arrangement or if pure capability at a seriously budget-friendly rate suggestions your hand in support of the OnePlus 6T.

The rear video cameras remain 12.2 MP, and can videotape video approximately 4K at 30fps. The front now includes two 8MP video cameras, with one including a 75-degree FOV and also the other a wide-angle lens using a 97-degree FOV.

Pixel Slate

The Google Pixel Slate is the company’s brand-new 2-in-1 tablet running ChromeOS. While Google did state a bit about the equipment it’s coming with, there were even more concerns left unanswered.

The Pixel Slate uses a 293-pixel-per-inch LTPS LCD show, and has 8MP electronic cameras on each side. The front-facing electronic camera has large pixels and a wide-angle lens, forever performance in reduced light as well as for recording groups in video chat respectively.

Beyond the tablet experience, the Pixel Slate can be paired with the Pixel Slate Keyboard, which is a folio-style keyboard cover. It has rounded tricks and full backlighting. The tablet computer also supports Google’s Pixelbook Pen stylus pen. Awhile of added protection, the power button functions as a fingerprint scanner.

The base cost will certainly be $599 (concerning £455), as well as it will certainly be offered later on this year in the United States, UK, and also Canada, but no Australian availability was discussed. The Pixel Slate Key-board is available in at an absurd $199 (about £150), which is much more costly than Microsoft’s Surface Type Covers.

Both phones also have bezels over and also listed below the display on the front (you’ll intend to look to the Google Pixel 3 XL if you’re after a notch).

They additionally both have a single-lens rear camera as well as a fingerprint scanner on the back, so both phones look comparable. And also, while not a noticeable part of the layout, they’re likewise both water-resistant – though the Google Pixel 3 ups the resistance ranking slightly.

The main distinction aesthetically is the colors they come in, as while the Google Pixel 2 is available in black, white or blue, the Google Pixel 3 swaps out the blue shade for a sand color called ‘Not Pink’.

Of course, measurements and weight are likewise various, though just ever before so somewhat, with the Pixel 3 being available in at 145.6 x 68.2 x 7.9 mm and also 148g, while the Pixel 2 is 145.7 x 69.7 x 7.8 mm and also 143g.

The Pixel 3 has an octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM, while the Pixel 2 has an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset and 4GB of RAM.

The Pixel 2’s chipset was top-end when it introduced in 2014 and the Google Pixel 3’s is top-end currently, though neither phone needs to feel doing not have in power.

Their usage of pure Android with very little bloat will aid with that. In both cases they run Android 9 Pie and both phones must get Android updates on or near the first day, though certainly the Google Pixel 3 will certainly be supported with updates for longer.

The Google Pixel 3 has some brand-new attributes though, such as a Titan M safety and security module, which assists keep your phone secure.

Google is truly pressing the ability to get more in your shots with its brand-new phone.

On the back both phones have a single-lens 12.2 MP f/1.8 camera, but there should be some improvements to the Pixel 3’s, mostly in the form of new settings and features.

As for the battery, the Google Pixel 3 has a 2,915 mAh one, up from 2,700 mAh in the Google Pixel 2. Naturally, the Pixel 3 additionally has a larger screen, so it continues to be to be seen whether the phone can last much longer. The Pixel 2 for its part lasts throughout the day in our tests but struggles to last a lot more than that.

One new function on the battery front is the addition of cordless charging this moment around.

Google Pixel 3 vs Google Pixel 2 price and availability

The Google Pixel 3 is readily available to pre-order currently, at an expense of $799/£739 for a 64GB one or $899/£839 for 128GB.

Takeaway

The Google Pixel 3 views on paper to be a strong but traditional upgrade to the Google Pixel 2. A lot of components have been enhanced, however apart from the display dimension, the more recent chipset and the added front-facing camera, the distinctions don’t look game-changing.

As ever, the Google Pixel 3 XL will certainly be the mobile to go with if you want an actual Google front runner, but also for something a little bit a lot more affordable and a bit smaller sized the typical Google Pixel 3 could be a great choice, while the Google Pixel 2 stays an appealing choice if you want something cheaper still.
