OnePlus 5T - It's ALMOST Epic!

2017-11-29
[Laughter] [Laughter] Wow it really pays off to go outside I gotta found the new one Plus let's review the new master liquid all-in-one coolers are available in 120 and 240 millimeter stylish radiator sizes with air balance fans included for best air flow and RGB sync on the pump and the fans that I controlled via this hub or through your motherboard check out the ML 120 ln 240 l down below alright so the 1 plus 5t may be the phone of the year and i'm coming from the 1 plus 5 and everything about the 5 t feels like a needed upgrade with a much better portrait mode for the camera I really like the two by one aspect ratio on display and then you fingerprint location at the back that at first was kind of weird for me I kept missing it but a day later your muscle memory kicks in for that seamless unlock and we also have that new face unlock feature that as everyone says is super fast and I would agree you don't even have time to see the notification screen and it lands right on your home screen it even works in low-light situations as long as there's some brightness on your phone it lights up your face now you can disable the function to auto unlock when it detects your face and this way you can easily view your notifications and interact with them it's a nice way to experience the seamless unlock function and not having to raise your phone but I doubt it's secure since since using the selfie cam for facial recognition and also it doesn't recognize me when I'm wearing glasses nor if I'm wearing hat too close to my eyes so it's not accurate and if you're like other things around your face but it's pretty fantastic when it's just simple facing from the camera now it kind of sucks for 1+5 owners is the fact that this phone's been out for six months so the upgrade cycle to the latest one is a little bit too close together and then one plus offers the trading programs but they're not available everywhere and if you were to get some cash back from oneplus for trading in your phone you probably get less money then if you were to sell this thing yourself and the 5 T is just slightly more expensive at launch then wonder 1 plus 5 was when it launched now I do appreciate the relatively small 12% price premium for double the storage and extra Ram but for reference ignoring the base price you get four times the storage capacity for 21% price premium with an iPhone which is a better ratio just something to think about but now let's talk about the basic phone functionality so the vibration motor on a hard surface is audible but I've missed many calls when the phone is in my pocket it's too weak and I recommend changing the vibration pattern and that is a bit faster and can be felt easier call quality is excellent the top speaker is clear and the smooth curves are pleasant upon contact but unfortunately most of the cases have these rough edges making them not comfortable to press against your ear and only the staple sandstone cover has the top cutouts making in the ideal case for phone calls and handling unfortunately while oneplus drools over their horizon line in the center with the aluminum body it is incredibly slippery so you must stick with a case or a skin and while I appreciate the diversity of colors and textures and this new really cool red rubber case it's still just way too smooth and can slip out easily I do recommend the sandstone cover for the most secure grip the buttons are on the familiar spots but they all feel kind of soft and not as clicky in comparison to the 1+5 but I love the alert slider and I wish more Android devices were equipped with this tomb you notifications except for your favorites the bottom looks identical to the five with type C port that is still on USB 2 speeds a bottom firing speaker that is super easy to block but it's loud so find yourself a bowl and no need for a Bluetooth speaker and the headphone jack is still here with a powerful output and in equalizer for some volume controls so no dongle need it now in comparison to the five there are some physical changes first the camera bump has a smooth perimeter and this way it doesn't pick up particles as much the included screen protector had rougher edges and I recommend you remove it for better touch feeling and of course the 5 T is tiny bit taller with a 6 inch screen but slightly wider side bezels as far as you can see resolution is good for my eyes and brightness is excellent and it's AMOLED so color and contrast is fantastic as usual we have screen calibration default one is way too cold for my taste and I prefer srgb color or the slightly more vibrant p3 and also we have the Custom temperature adjustment on the screen I love the rounded corners to go with the flow of androids UI direction and I love the ambient screen that lights up for your notifications for just a few seconds and this way you can sort of glance at your phone when the notifications come in and decide if you need to respond the notification LED is present with a nice ambient light that can be configured accordingly and overall this is a beautiful display for media consumption with this pinch-to-zoom for regular sixteen by nine content so you fill your whole screen and the taller resolution is nice to accommodate on-screen buttons but even so you get more viewing area without the need to scroll now I love what oneplus is doing with the software with subtle customization available on the home screen you can choose a different system font you can choose a theme color swap buttons and assign shortcuts for double tapping or long pressing like launching the camera with a double press of a power button you can wake the screen with a double tap or take a screen shot with a three-finger swipe and we have multiple gestures on the fingerprint sensor itself like swiping down to real notifications or long pressing and to take a photo or gaming do-not-disturb to kill off any notifications while you're in game and one of my favorites reading mode that goes into this nice warm black and white state for comfortable reading now for my homescreen I preloaded the pixel to launcher and that looks really clean plus I have Google now on the left side because with the default launcher we have shelf that is useless to me and I wish we could remap it to Google now now the phone is super fast and my only complaint with performance revolves around the unlocking animation where sometimes the icons and the text load before the wallpaper and that in real time looks kind of glitchy and in slow motion you can see that the fade effect is not as smooth as on the 1 plus running the same launcher and the same wallpaper however unlocking the phone when on the notification screen is much smoother when it comes to that faylene animation and so now with the camera surprisingly I've been asked many times to compare it to the pixel to excel that currently delivers the best images out of any smartphone but the 5 T in proper hands is pretty excellent you the portrait mode is now improved with better edge detection and the wider field of view so you can get more in the shot versus what we saw on the five and it's actually the same field of view as the standard lens which is awesome if you need extra reach you'll just do the digital zoom on the primary sensor and comparing the portrait mode on a 5 to 5 T in a to excel the dynamic range and contrast is best on the pixel but edge detection on the pixel is a little bit more aggressive and on oneplus has that smoother gradient plus it's not as zoomed in as on the other tool the 5 t also comes out soft sometimes even with plenty of light but I usually edit my photos anyway so adding some sharpness and contrast it really helps to improve those images now the 4k video is alright it has pretty fast focusing and exposure is alright too it has image stabilization in 4k mode and yeah you can walk with it and it's gonna have a little bit of shake but much less than what the 5 has but if we switch over to 1080p 60 so very nice and smooth and slightly wider field of view as well so not exactly sure why that is happening but image stabilization is present here also so you can do things and you can walk around and yeah stabilization is all good so generally I like the camera on the 5 T and I'm taking some amazing shots on my 5 on my trip to Brazil and the 5 T is better in every way in terms of portrait photography and low-light and so I am confident that I'll be using this moving forward now the selfie mode is pretty good but it tends to blur the background just slightly so for group selfie is just as with the 1 plus 5 people behind you tend to be soft and finally battery life is never concerned thanks to - charging giving you like 60% battery in half an hour I even disabled the battery percentage indicator because I never have to worry and usually get full day and half on a single charge with top ups in the morning when I'm showering or making breakfast and yeah really good battery life so find the words on value I think the five T is a great package you know even though we don't have official water resistance rating I was playing around in the snow and that introductory montage and yeah the thing survived the phone is fine no issues whatsoever so I love the 5 T but I really feel bad for the 5 owners because that upgrade cycle is just way too close together and at this price point the 5 T is my phone of the year alright so that is this for my review of the 5 T let me know what you think of the camera comparison which when you thought looked best in the portrait mode I'm Dimitri with hurricane axe thanks so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
