OnePlus's choice was to contain the price of the smartphone for this reason the company has decided not to pay for the certification. In short, take our word for it.

What are the differences between OnePlus 6 and 5T?
OnePlus 6 represents a further step forward compared to the OnePlus 5T predecessor. This is not a real revolution but a welcome upgrade.
The real differences that distinguish the two devices are:
- il display con notch (which we find in 6 but not in 5T)
- Snapdragon 845 processor on 6 and 835 on 5T
- improved main camera, equipped with a Sony sensor (now we find a Sony IMX 519 on board instead of IMX 371)
Everything else is more or less similar. The performances are really at the top as they were those of 5T.
Improved camera, but still imperfect
As you may have seen in our video review, the camera's performance is very good although not excellent.
Here are some comparisons between the cameras of the two devices. As you can see for yourself, the improvements are there even if they are not substantial. In any case, the photos taken with OnePlus 6 have more natural colors.

The real drawback of this smartphone is the photos in low light conditions. In fact, both results do not in the least scream a miracle. They are - in our opinion - barely enough.
