OnePlus 6T Review: New Design, Same Price!


OnePlus 6T release date and price

You'll be able to pre-order the OnePlus 6T very soon, and you'll be able to buy it from the OnePlus website starting on November 6. We'll update this review when we know more about the exact release date in different countries.
The OnePlus 6T price is set to start at $549 / £499 for the 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in the Mirror Black color. The same storage and color but with 8GB of RAM will cost you $579 / £529.
Midnight Black versions of the phone have 8GB of RAM and cost £529 / $579 or $629 / £579 depending on whether you go for the 128GB or 256GB versions.
In the US, T-Mobile is the exclusive carrier if you don't want to buy the phone outright. In the UK, it's a touch easier to buy the OnePlus 6T as it's going to be available through O2, EE and Vodafone, as well as from Amazon, Carphone Warehouse and John Lewis.
We don't currently have pricing or release date information for Australia, but we hope to update this review with that information soon.

In Memoriam: Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen helped change the world


Allen was one of the richest tech billionaires in the world in 2017, according to Forbes, and he used his wealth wisely as a philanthropist. Estimates suggest he donated more than $2 billion in total, including $500 million to his Allen Institute for Brain Science. The Seattle-based nonprofit research organization has helped accelerate a better understanding of how our brains work, and the data is available for free to fellow researchers.


After leaving Microsoft, Allen funded Vulcan in 1986. Vulcan was an outlet for most of Allen’s philanthropy, and it assembled technologists, biodiversity experts, scientists, filmmakers, and art curators to invest in conservation, global health, climate change, space exploration, and many other big challenges. Vulcan helped transform Seattle with investments in local art, entertainment projects, and real estate. Additionally, Allen founded the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation in 1988 to invest in technology, data, and policy efforts in the Pacific Northwest.

Allen was also passionate about music, entertainment, and sports. He first heard Jimi Hendrix play guitar when he was a teenager, and he described the moment as “life changing.” Allen went on to master the guitar so well that Quincy Jones once described himas the second coming of Jimi Hendrix. His fondness of Jimi Hendrix led to him loaning $6 million to the Hendrix family to help in a legal battle to regain control of the guitarist’s image and music. Allen even formed a band, Paul Allen & The Underthinkers and recorded a studio album in 2013. This love of music also extended back to the Seattle area. The Experience Music Project (EMP) opened in 2000, funded by a $100 million investment from Allen.


Allen purchased the Portland Trail Blazers basketball team back in 1988 and the Seattle Seahawks NFL team in 1997. He was even a co-owner of the Seattle Sounders FC soccer team. Most recently, Allen donated $26 million to Washington State University to create the Paul G. Allen School of Global Animal Health, and he created a Tackle Ebola initiative with $100 million of funding to fight the disease.
Allen was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 after being treated for Hodgkin’s disease back in 1982. He died this week from complications related to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He will be remembered for his charitable work that has changed the world and his early influence on Microsoft. Allen is no longer with us in person, but he signed the Giving Pledge to donate the majority of his wealth to charity, so his impressive work as a philanthropist will live on.
