The festive season is the best time to buy a smartphone in India. You get deep discounts on devices that increases the value for money. The OnePlus 6T is fresh in the markets, but for many, the base price of the smartphone may be too high. If you still want a flagship phone with a Snapdragon 845, there are quite a few options to choose from. You have the Poco F1 starting as low as Rs 20,999 for the 6GB+64GB variant while the Asus Zenfone 5z with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is also available at a discount of Rs 5,000 at Rs 31,000. But the best deal is perhaps on the LG G7+ ThinQ (review). The LG G7+ ThinQ launched in India for a very reasonable Rs 39,999. You get the flagship Snapdragon 845 SoC under the hood, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. But it packs more interesting features like a 12-bit HDR display that supports Dolby Vision, a Quad DAC for Hi-Fi audio and a wide-angle camera. Flipkart is offering a massive Rs 10,000 discount on the LG G7+ ThinQ bringing the price down to Rs 29,999. There’s an additional discount of 10 percent if you purchase it using a SBI card, bringing the price down to Rs 27,000.

The LG G7+ ThinQ is a grossly undervalued smartphone. The phone is both IP68 rated water and dust resistant as well as MLT-STD 810 military grade durable, which no other smartphone in that price range offers. The LG UI is also quite customisable and aesthically good looking. The camera can shoot HDR videos as well as record in high-fidelity audio. It’s also quite compact to hold and use. The OnePlus 6T is also undoubtedly a good phone. It’s one of the fastest there is, but the niggling compromises might reduce the durability of the phone, which the LG G7+ ThinQ guarantees at much less the price.

The OnePlus 6T incorporates a bigger 6.41-inch display in the same dimensions as the OnePlus 6 by shrinking the size of the notch. While the OnePlus 6 had a rather wide notch on top of the panel, the OnePlus 6T (review) has the ‘drop notch’ that takes up lesser space, leaving more real estate for the status bar icons on top and even increases the screen-to-body ratio. However, a smaller notch also means space constraints. On the OnePlus 6T, the notch houses only the front camera and the proximity sensor. Because of space crunch, the LED notification light is no longer there. The phone also sacrificed the 3.5mm headphone jack to make space for a bigger battery and the in-display fingerprint sensor. OnePlus recently held an AMA session on its community explaining the features the OnePlus 6T, and the ones it doesn’t. The LED notification, according to OnePlus, was removed because it was no longer needed. Users could simply lift up the phone or tap the display to see the notifications on the lockscreen itself. It’s an ambient feature that OnePlus calls ‘Lift up display’. OnePlus also removed the ‘Always-on’ display because it caused more battery drain than the ambient feature. It came on OnePlus 6 phones out of the box but was later removed via a software update. The company is apparently still considering the “functional value vs power consumption” of the feature before baking it in phones in the future. Further, when asked about the lack of an IP rating, co-founder Carl Pei said the OnePlus 6T does have water resistance, but going for an IP certification would likely increase the price of the device. The OnePlus 6T, he said, is designed to survive accidental spills or a drop in a puddle, but it won’t survive activities like diving. OnePlus also addressed that the T-mobile version of the OnePlus 6T in the United States will not have beta support and the updates too will roll out delayed as the phones require additional certification by the operator. OnePlus will also release a glass screen protector for the phone.
