As Oneplus 6 which has many likes of Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Google Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL and Samsung Galaxy S9/ S9 Plus but missing some features which is to be taken cocern.After all, Oneplus 6 competing with legends of smartphone industry by giving it with half price tag. While it is getting its job done for a far lesser price is it worth spending more on other flagship phones. Here are missing things in the new OnePlus 6 that are available in other flagship phones.
Wireless charging
The Oneplus 6 got eye catchy Glossy glass back. Apart from design aesthetics, there is no major use of the glass back which otherwise makes the phone prone to scratches and less durable.OnePlus 6 offers support for Qi wireless charging. However it claims that the Dash charging which is the fastest in the industry. Like if you spare 10 minutes to charge the Dash charger will do trick.
True waterproofing certification
OnePlus says that the OnePlus 6 is indeed water resistant and has been tested for use in light rain, but it lacks the IP certificate because it is not the phone that you can dive with in a swimming pool. Of course, this a cost cutting measure .But this with such improved features might include this too .
Outside of OnePlus, one of the last major flagships to hold out on waterproofing was Google. Even it got on board with the trend with last year’s Pixel 2 phones.
No advancements in slow motion videos
Slow motion feature is trending thing in upcoming flagship smartphones but, Oneplus lacks that still stuck at offering basics in the “slo-mo” camera department. While flagship phones from Sony and Samsung are offering 960 FPS video-capturing feature, it is absent in the flagship killer OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus 6 has a dual-camera setup on its back. he OnePlus 6 cameras have wide-angle lenses (around 27mm) on both cameras. This is indeed a downer, and one of those factors that stop OnePlus from out-rightly trouncing phones like iPhone 8 Plus, Honor P20 Pro and the Galaxy S9 Plus. The OnePlus 6 does offer 2X zoom, but that is done using software and the results aren’t as pretty as what you get with the iPhone X. Hence, the 2X optical zoom is capable enough to be used occasionally.
HDR video recording
The oneplus missing HDR video recording. While OnePlus 6 might have enough firepower in the camera department and is capable of shooting good photos but it cant do the tricks at low light which means the videos are not that graet when compared to likes of Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.
Stereo-speakers
OnePlus hasn’t worked much on the audio department on the OnePlus 6. While the likes of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus have got stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, the OnePlus 6 has stereo speakers missing.
An extra special something
These days all flagships have shrinking bezels, dual-cameras, and the latest Snapdragon processors.The Major flaships offer atleast a different feature that make them unique Samsung has mechanical aperture control, LG has it’s new BoomBox speaker, and Huawei has a stunning new design and a triple Leica camera with hybrid zoom. The OnePlus 6 has a notch and a new glass design similar to other glass designs on the market… and that’s it.But,it attracts the people attention by its price tag.
