Oneplus6t McLaren edition

[eric002]

Okay, so everyone obviously knows about the new McLaren edition of the oneplus6t. $700 10 gigs of RAM 256 gig storage. Unless you really need all that localized onboard storage 10 gigs of RAM seems. a little Overkill and it's $120 more expensive than 128 gig ram model. For That price just get the model I plan on getting around 580 and call it a day right? I I mean don't get me wrong, the orange looks cool, but just put an orange case on it. What does everyone think about this?

Having not owned an Android phone before, I'm very keen to understand how useful that extra 2GB of RAM is currently and might be in a couple of years time.

 

[eric002]

Well, I know for a fact that OnePlus has an overboost function of the operating system for the extra ram but I also know for a fact that stock Android is such a light footprint anyways that it's really not needed to begin with. That's why I'm planning to buy 8 gig of RAM model.

Exclusivity that's all I can think of ..

Anyone know if we would be able to use the new warp charger with our current 6t? Or is there a change in something in the phone as well other than the charging brick?

Unfortunately, I have no idea...

Yeah, if it were a Porsche addition then I could understand it but that's just me!

Seems like just a charger technology but I am not totally sure. Just speculation on my end

True and I mean as it is, that regular 6T charges rapid fast!

The faster the better hehehe. Welcome technological advancement. Wonder how much that charger going to cost.

Hahaha yeah true that! At the end of the day it's all relative... I mean faster is, better but it's all about the price as well...

That's a bit of a complicated and controversial question... Buy the simple, short answer is it isn't really useful and you shouldn't really consider it when choosing a phone

 

[fuzzylumpkin]

I'm more interested in the charger than the phone... If anyone finds the actual specifications for it I'd be grateful i of a share.

 

[eric002]

True, but I'd be happy with the regular 6T charger!

I thought that's like there Porsche edition ? Its different with the specs and color option .

It is. You're right. I also can't justify spending an extra $120 for it. I mean it looks cool, but I'm just going to be putting a case on it regardless ya know?

I was interested if they've changed it to 6 amps (which they apparently have) or increased the voltage.

The old 20W charger is good, but they've been using the same one since the 3 so a refresh is interesting... At least more interesting to me than a phone with a car sticker on the back lol, if i wanted that I'd ask my friends 5 year old kid to customise it for me!

Ah, gotcha. I mean the dash charging should even fast though for me.

The thing is, the OP6T flagship variants are the ones they have now. The McLaren edition is just an add-on to make more sales and allow the owners of that phone to have bragging rights. For the price it is and the specs it has, it's still ~$200 less than the Note 9.

Agreed. This is totally 100% an enthusiasts phone. However, if that orange lit up... TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

I agree with you 100%. Mostly for bragging rights!
