![]() The bad news is that it uses more of your battery. Obviously, 120Hz is a smoother experience than 90Hz. I'm not sure that you'll be able to immediately notice the difference between 90Hz and 120Hz. Moving from 90Hz to 120Hz isn't as noticeable, as it's a 33% increase. However, moving from 60Hz to 90Hz was a 50% increase, and it made a big difference. You'll likely notice the difference pretty quickly. If you've not had the opportunity to see a high refresh rate smartphone, I'd urge you to go to your local store and check one out. The higher refresh rate obviously means that you get smoother animations, and that makes for an overall more pleasant experience. But just like the OnePlus 7T was about getting the 90Hz screen that the OnePlus 7 Pro had, the OnePlus 8T is getting the 120Hz screen that the OnePlus 8 Pro had, and it's really sexy. The OnePlus 8T comes with a 6.55-inch 20:9 FHD+ display, and it might be my new favorite smartphone screen, even though I do still love both the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro. The only devices I know of with a switch to control notification sounds are iPhones.īeing that the power button and a switch are on the right side, you can probably guess what's on the left. ![]() It's one of my favorite features of OnePlus phones, and I've never seen it on another Android device. There are three settings: sound on, vibrate, and silent. On the right side, there's a power button, and above that, a switch for controlling notification sounds. It has the usual metal frame, and you'll find a USB 3.1 Type-C port on the bottom, along with the nano-SIM slot. Indeed, you might want to use a case just to make sure this thing doesn't fall off of your desk. It's the frosted glass finish that we've seen plenty of times from OnePlus, and it's still quite slippery. Usually, when you get colors like green and silver, silver is designed to be more conservative. It's actually a very pretty device, something that I did not expect to say for this color. It comes in Aquamarine Green and Lunar Silver, and OnePlus sent me the latter. The OnePlus 8T has a rectangular camera housing with rounded corners, just like we've seen from companies like Huawei, Samsung, Apple, and Google. It also came in a beautiful color called Interstellar Glow. The OnePlus 8 looked like a smaller OnePlus 8 Pro with the more traditional vertical camera strip that's more recognizably OnePlus. ![]() The OnePlus 7T used a circular camera housing on the back, something that I had hoped would become a trend. Instead, it came out like they are cheating.The OnePlus 8T does look different from the OnePlus 8 and even the OnePlus 7T before it. If OnePlus told users they do such optimizations to improve battery life and still give good performance where it matters and maybe even a toggle to turn this off entirely, then there would be no problem. It is done with good intentions, but is misinterpreted because of bad communication between company and users. I'd say this has the same issue as Apple's "battery gate" drama. Which I'd very much welcome more than just dumb task killers that Chinese vendors obsess over so much in general and which you can't turn off in most cases, just disable and hope they're really off (which usually isn't the case). If that was in fact the case, then it's actually real optimization and not cheating. But is it really cheating? What's the point in giving some light load or background apps full throttle power of the X1 core which is by far the most power hungry? Or limiting some social network app that can't possibly ever need all the full grunt from the chipset (and which are all listed as ones that are throttled)? Just so it clocks to stupid speeds and eats battery faster? I'd be more interested in seeing if full power was given to benchmarks (why would one limit benchmarks?!) and lets say games or apps that actually require full raw compute power. ![]()
