OnePlus 6T Google Discover (formerly Feed) alternative options to T-Mobile model — until further notice

OnePlus has been surprisingly hesitant to illuminate the exact contrasts between the T-Mobile and opened adaptations of its phones, however steadily the refinements are becoming visible. As of late, it was uncovered to us that the T-Mobile rendition replaces the OnePlus Launcher's "Rack" usefulness with the famous Google Now Feed Discover, and OnePlus stays tight-lipped concerning whether the element is coming to different phones, however it concedes just the T-Mobile variant has it for the time being.

The setting is empowered as a matter of course on T-Mobile phones, giving Google's Discover content feed to one side of the default screen of the OnePlus Launcher, much like the Pixel launchers. It's a component numerous individuals make a special effort to secure, changing to things like Nova Launcher, Action Launcher, and Rootless Launcher just to get it. Sadly for such fans, this setting is absent at all on the Unlocked rendition of the phone (presented beneath) 

No "Left most screen" option in the OnePlus Launcher on unlocked phones.

We connected with OnePlus to check whether this component would come the opened phones — since it's something individuals have needed essentially since the OnePlus Launcher was a thing — and we got a genuinely conventional explanation. OnePlus alludes to the Google Discover highlight in its launcher as Google Now Minus One, and we were told: "Just the T-Mobile rendition has the Google Now Minus One screen usefulness."

That announcement doesn't invalidate that the element could come to different phones later on — truly, it just affirms what our own tests meanwhile have illustrated — yet it unquestionably doesn't seem like OnePlus had given it much idea. Given our very own energy and ensuing frustration to find the restrictiveness of this element, I trust OnePlus considers bringing it to opened phones. The Shelf is essentially futile, and Google Discover isn't.
