Get a new OnePlus 6T 128GB unlocked smartphone for just $299 - CNET

There's little doubt that OnePlus makes some of the best budget flagship phones money can buy. Though the OnePlus 6T is the brand's ninth phone and has a great assortment of features, it typically sells for a modest price between $350 and $550. If you want in on the action, right now you can get the One Plus 6T with 128GB for $299 at B&H. That's the lowest price I could find for this phone, and it's at least $50 less than anywhere else right now, including Amazon. 

This is an unlocked T-Mobile phone (which gives you compatibility with AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile -- pretty much the only carrier it won't work with is Sprint).

The 6T has a solid array of features that include a fingerprint-on-display scanner that means, at least in theory, that it unlocks more or less as soon as you pick it up -- though you can still use face recognition or a PIN, if you prefer. You'll find a Snapdragon 845 Octa-core processor and 128GB of memory under the 6.4-inch screen. The rear of the phone is home to dual 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel cameras, 4K video capture, super-slow-motion mode, and a 16-megapixel front camera. Beware, though: the 6T has, like most of its peers, abandoned the headphone jack. 

It's running the Android 10-based OxygenOS, OnePlus's custom OS. While OxygenOS is a fairly smart and elegant skin, it's worth noting that not everyone loves the OnePlus camera app. If you find it likewise uninspired, fear not: The native Google Camera app is just a few taps away, and it's a solid improvement. 

For all the deets on the OnePlus 6T, you can read CNET's review of the OnePlus 6T. This deal should run through tomorrow, May 18.
