Hello @Stussyjoo8 .
I just bought a Oneplus 6T for my wife to replace the aging Blu Life One X2. I bought the phone on the Oneplus website directly.
To answer your questions quickly:
Yes. It works 100% on PM network.
Yes, she loves it.
The phone is great. I got this version => 6G RAM, 128GB of storage
Things I like:
1. Teardrop shape notch. Minimal and not so imposing like iPhone. Better than Essential's implementation. Option to hide notch by putting a black bar on top.
2. Dual SIM.
3. AMOLED - if you like that type of screen.
4. Battery life - My wife does a lot of ebook reading. The last I checked, her screen on time was 11 hrs and had 43% battery left. I don't know if she did any opportunity charging between those times, however, I didn't notice any spikes going upwards in the battery graph.
5. Updates - Not as fast as Google or Essential, but the Oneplus is at the January security update. Latest is the February update.
6. Fast - Compared to the Blue Life One X2, it's like driving a Ford Pinto vs. a Porsche.
7. In-display fingerprint - novel idea and cool.
8. Came with a case - Yes. I didn't expect this because I didn't read their website specs. It does the job.
9. Minimal bloatware.
10. Android 9 - the simple fact that it gives you control over how apps run in the background (per app permissions, adaptive battery, and restrict background data) puts an end to those apps that drain your battery when you're not using the phone.
Things I don't like.
1. Minimal - Camera is great, but the default camera app does not have as many fancy features as Samsung.
2. In-display fingerprint - not as fast as traditional fingerprint display.
3. Pre-applied screen protector - when I first got the phone and was setting it up, the feeling of the screen felt weird when touching and sliding. Sort of sticky feeling and not as smooth as my bare Essential phone. Then I noticed that it already had a screen protector applied from the factory. Again, I didn't read the specs on the website. While it may be a bonus for some, like my wife who does not take care of her phones (ie. she's dropped it twice), I prefer not to have them.
4. Expensive - I was originally planning to buy the Oneplus 6, but of course, it was not in stock and I don't think it will every go back in stock. (edit - yep, I just checked the oneplus website and they don't even list it anymore). So I bit the bullet and bought the 6T. It's the most expensive phone I have ever paid for... but the hardware is comparable to other flagships that cost $1000+(CDN) dollars. As the price goes higher, it's harder to justify the purchase IMHO. But she loves it so that alone makes it worth it. If I was buying for myself given my usage habits, then no.
5. Durability - Not sure about that in-display fingerprint sensor. I sure hope it lasts the lifetime of the phone.
6. Screen is still 1080p - While most flaships are at least 1440p.
