The OnePlus 6T was a pretty hyped device, albeit not as much as the Pixel 3, however, it is just as good as the Pixel 3 with a much lower price tag. Yesterday, the company announced the device in New York.

OnePlus has always delivered on their promise of speed and the OnePlus 6T is no letdown. The device is blazing fast and comes with Android 9 Pie pre-installed with the OxygenOS skin on top. OnePlus pulled up a slide during the OnePlus 6T launch event showing that OxygenOS on OnePlus devices has the least bugs and issues when compared to other major OEMs.

While we don’t know how true the statistics are, we can be certain about the fact that most devices have a few issues here and there and more often than not have to be reset to fix the majority of issues on the device. If you’ve been troubled by a few bugs or of your brand new OnePlus 6T is taking a performance hit for no apparent reason, then you might want to reset the device.
