the one plus six is the latest flagship to draw from the company oneplus here on jerry-rigged everything we semi scientifically review cellphones with razor blades so pump up that volume a few notches and hit the subscribe button let's get started this is the mirror black version of the oneplus six super reflective with the super deep black there's also a midnight black version out there where oneplus uses corrosion on the back glass for a slightly more matte aesthetic might be fun to take a look at that in the future if oneplus ever lets me touch a phone again after this the AMOLED screen comes with a pre-installed screen protector which is a super good way to protect your phone right out of the box it's nice they don't make you go buy extra accessories the six also comes with a soft protective case in the red box right above that - charger in charging cable the scratch test is first you know how it works most scale one through ten a level three being plastic and a level ten being diamonds oneplus said they use Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back of this phone which seems to be the premium standard these days and the results of the scratch test degree scratches appear to level 6 and a deeper groove at a level 7 everything's pretty normal so far oneplus started shrinking bezels with last year's 1 + 5 t and that remains the same with this one + 6 a slightly larger screen with no home button at the bottom but we do have a notch this time in the display for the front-facing 16 megapixel camera this camera comes with electronic image stabilization and face unlock personally I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about the knotch it is what it is but this speaker grille is pretty cute it's almost as small as the Huawei P 20 pro I reviewed earlier either way the grille is very solidly attached to the phone and will be falling off on its own even with intentional aggressive persuasion besides the 1 + 6 or just as pitch black as the rest the phone and made for metal the power button and even the textured mute switch which I'm still a huge fan of is metal this is a button I would use every single day it's a pretty useful feature to have on a smart phone the top of the phone is made from metal no holes up here except for the noise cancelling microphone and the far side of the phone is still painted metal along with the metal volume rocker bottom the phone has a USBC slot and more importantly a headphone jack well not something I use every day the convenience of having one far outweighs the aesthetics of not and for me a cell phone is all about making life more convenient so thumbs up to one plus for keeping that headphone jack another super important point of good design is the soft plastic cushion layer between the glass and the metal frame of the phone most people will never realize this is here but it helps shield the brittle glass from the hard metal if the phone has ever dropped the glass is less likely to cracked on impact with this subtle protective ring in place a case is still very important don't get me wrong but every bit of protection helps for the back of the phone all the lettering is under the surface of the glass and protected from ever scratching off well at least until I open it up anyway there is no wireless charging though oneplus has retained their invincible scratch proof fingerprint scanner which is nice my razor blade does no damage to the surface of that scanner through your cameras are interesting the main camera is a 16 megapixel sensor and this year we have both optical and electronic image stabilization the 20 megapixel secondary camera is just there to support the main sensor not sure all the details on that support system yet but since this one plus can shoot 4k video at 60 frames per second whatever support it's giving is working and it's all protected with scratch resistant glass the 6.2 inch AMOLED display to me is one of the best features of this phone AMOLED blacks make the bezel and notch pretty much disappear you don't get as vibrant of colors on a normal LCD display it still made about 20 seconds though before the pixels completely died so that's cool it's hard to show off how impressively reflective this black mirror is but you can get an idea by looking at my camera through the back panel it looks good even though art class with Jerry gets canceled with glass back phones I think the oneplus 6 will make a great clear phone candidate it'll be fun to show off that red battery that oneplus probably forgot about again previous one-plus phones were milled from solid blocks of aluminum making them pretty durable it's time to see if this glass redesign holds up to a structural bent the first bin made me pretty nervous there was quite a bit more flex than I anticipated but it still managed to hold up against an impressive amount of force with zero cracks or kinks the metal frame is still intact and the glass remains unshadowed I believe this is in part due to the plastic lining between the glass and the metal frame but either way this new oneplus flagship passes my durability test and is definite daily driver material what do you think do you like the one plus six and what features would your ideal smartphone include let me know down in the comments and then come hang out with me on Twitter and Instagram thanks ton for watching and I'll see you around
