The recently launched OnePlus 6T is just a minor upgrade over the OnePlus 6, bringing just a couple of new features over its predecessors. Among these is a larger 3,700mAh battery which is a significant improvement over the OnePlus 6’s 3,300mAh battery. The device still ships with the same 5V/4A fast charger in the box, which has proven its fast charging capabilities with older OnePlus devices.
As mentioned earlier, the OnePlus 6T comes with support for OnePlus’ fast charging technology (which isn’t called Dash Charge anymore, despite the charging brick still featuring the logo) and ships with a 5V/4A fast charger in the box. In my testing I found that the OnePlus 6T not only comes with a bigger battery but also charges a bit faster.
Battery Life
Now with a 400mAh larger battery you’d expect the OnePlus 6T to perform marginally better than the OnePlus 6, but OnePlus has also included some software improvements to regulate the battery consumption for the device and that leads to some exceptional battery life. As always, we put the OnePlus 6T through two different use case scenarios – one with a normal everyday workload and the other with intensive use. Here’s how the device performed:
Under an intensive workload, which included running benchmarking apps, watching a whole lot of YouTube videos, playing several PUBG Mobile matches, along with the usual calling and texting, the OnePlus 6T managed to pull off a screen-on-time just shy of 7 hours and 30 minutes while lasting one and a half days with that kind of use.
In conclusion, the OnePlus 6T is definitely the device to get if you want great battery life along with fast charging. As you’ve already seen, the device can easily last a full day under heavy workload and you won’t face any problems with the device’s battery life.
