  • The OnePlus 6T has received its first update, a short while after its reveal.
  • OxygenOS 9.0.4 tweaks the Nightscape mode and adds a studio lighting option.
  • The update also improves Screen Unlock and brings the November 2018 security patch.

The OnePlus 6T was finally launched this week, delivering several improvements over the OnePlus 6. The Chinese brand isn’t wasting any time though, as it quickly pushed out a system update yesterday.

The Oxygen OS 9.0.4 update, spotted by HDBlog (h/t: XDA), weighs in at 137MB. It’s a pretty small update at first glance, but it brings quite a few tweaks nonetheless.

For one, the update improves the camera app’s Nightscape mode, while also adding a “studio lighting” option (presumably for portrait mode).

Other noteworthy tweaks include improved Screen Unlock (OnePlus’s term for in-display fingerprint scanning), better standby power consumption, and general bug fixes and improvements. The update also integrates the November 2018 security patch, giving users a little extra peace of mind.

The changelog also mentions “brand new navigation gestures” but, as XDA notes, it might be an error as the phone already has these new gestures.

Best Chinese Android phones (September 2018)

Over the last few years, we've not only seen the number of Chinese OEMs increase dramatically, but their global presence has also been expanding. The explosion in Chinese OEMs comes down to a few things, …

The OnePlus 6T packs a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone stands out from the OnePlus 6 by offering a tiny notch, a larger, 3,700mAh battery, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. There is one downgrade, however, as the new phone lacks a headphone jack.

OnePlus’s new phone is also a landmark device for the company, as it’s partnered with T-Mobile in the U.S. to sell the phone. The two companies held a pop-up event in Times Square to mark the occasion — you can read C Scott Brown’s impressions of the event over here.

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself.

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
