hey how's it going Dave 2d here so the 1 plus 5t was just announced and i thought i'd just do a quick impressions video of this thing so i've been using it for a few days this won't be a full review obviously but I want to share some of my thoughts of this device with you guys so the first thing the big thing about this phone is the screen it's been updated to an 18 by 9 ratio it's a much larger screen it's just over six inches and the screen and body ratio is just over 80% right now so it looks a lot more I guess modern over the original 1+5 not that the 1 plus 5 looked poor but because of 2017 whole like bezel as smartphone influx this just looks more up-to-date in terms of the actual screen itself like how useful we find it it depends on how we use your phone for and how you like your screen personally I don't love 18 by 9 screen ratios I find them a little bit weird to me I like my 16 by 9 maybe I'm old school I like my screen 16 by 9 like my laptop 16 by 9 I like my phone 16 by 9 but you might like this this is this is the thing for 2017 okay what else has changed the other big one is the fingerprint sensor so this has been moved to the back now and I've always been a big fan of fingerprint sensors in the back I've always found it just easier to hold you pull out of your pocket fingers already there when you have that fingerprint sensor on the front like the original one plus five down at the bottom especially because this phone is like so sleek it's just the top heavy device and not that you drop it or anything but if just I don't like it as much as a back placement I've always liked it there and it's nice that they have it there now I know some people don't like the fingerprint sensor on the back because if your phone's on the table you can't unlock it unless you pick it up but they actually have a face unlock this year which doesn't really resolve the first thing but I thought it'd be a good segue to talk to her face unlock um I got to be honest I thought face unlock would be bad I thought it would just be a really kind of like me to product that oneplus would put on their phone but I am amazed by how good it is now I haven't been able to test it thoroughly in terms of like how secure it actually it is but it is fast like significantly faster than Apple's face ID which is weird but at the same time kind of expected because this thing doesn't have the nearly like the security in terms of like how many facial points is measuring it's very very fast it's pretty much instant the mome with your phone to face unlock so which leads me to believe that it probably has some kind of flaws to it but if you use it as kind of like a secondary security device I think it's not bad but I do want to test this thing out more thoroughly over time the other thing that's changed is the camera so the oneplus 5 virtually launched with a telephoto lens this is now no longer a telephoto lens it's the same kind of focal length but this lens is actually supposed to help with low-light photography now I don't miss the lack of telephoto lens at all because I never use that stuff but I do wish it was a wide-angle unfortunately it's not I am interested to see how this thing performs in low-light because this thing was never bad like the 1 plus 5 was never really bad at low light so no no this might seem promising I will be covering that in my full review later on um the thing that hasn't changed which I thought was surprising was the battery so it's still a 3300 milliamp hour battery which I don't know I don't know how I feel about that I mean it's the same chassis size but because the screen is larger and it's like the same brightness as the 1+5 I'm assuming this somehow it draws more power than the original screen so wouldn't the battery life be reduced maybe I'm not sure now - charge these devices if they are still in the frame I mean this is one of the best things about the oneplus 5 system I think it's about 30 minutes for a 6 percent charge you can't go wrong with that now overall the phone hasn't changed all that much it's not like massive upgrades or anything it's a nice refresh same processor same battery just a little bit better all around now the best part about it all but the price hasn't changed this thing launches at $500 which is the same price as original one plus 5 I think goes for sale on November 21st so yeah if you want to check it out leave a link below hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs we liked it subs you loved it see you guys next time oh yeah if you're wondering what these are these are the cases and it didn't open them because I'm not much of a case person I don't love the red I also don't love the wood which is two of the cases the carbon fiber looks pretty cool it's just not something I would rock on my phone personally but the sandstone which is like the original one plus kind of texture I like that but I'm just not a big fan of cases
