Before we jump into the verses I want to thank our sponsors Zolo Liberty plus the very first legitimately no compromise wireless headphones get up to 48 hours of battery life is graphy and inside of these things that use the anchor battery technology to make them last and last and last things are absolutely incredible fun to learn more about them so they will be down below time for an epic smartphone battle this is the Galaxy s8 versus a one plus five these are two incredible phones that bring a lot of specs and a lot of performance to the market I put these two head-to-head and declare a winner none of that cop-out whichever one is best for you there are a lot of categories you could have picked from but I picked a seventh and I think some up the phone's the best we've got design screen software camera battery performance and intangibles and we will declare a winner design is a huge category when it comes to phone it's a big determining factor and you look to buy most phones do the same stuff the design can separate one phone from another let's start with the Galaxy s8 got a really nice metal frame a glass back glass front curved on both sides it's almost all screens is infinity display got an incredible 84 percent screen to body ratio and it is super thin at 8 millimeters the elongated aspect ratio make its 5.8 inch screen seemed kind of approachable it's not as a giant behemoth as you would expect fingerprint reader is located on the back and we will definitely talk about that despite looking and feeling really nice does have a bit of a fragile feel to it maybe I'm a little bit biased admittedly there because I have dropped and cracked a galaxy s 8 plus when it comes to design Samsung get this one out of the park so I mentioned how thin the Galaxy s8 was this thing is even thinner at seven point two millimeters which is an engineering marvel when you consider the incredible specs that are packed in here I've got a 5.5 inch screen with a screen to body ratio of about 73 or 74 ish % oneplus is said they wanted to do sort of an infinity X so I didn't have the resources to do it as I go through and do this versus oneplus is a smaller company going head-to-head toe-to-toe against one of the behemoths of the industry and they did an awesome job I like the rounded edges on the back and eyes aluminum so really good it kind of has a feel of an old-school HTC phone and a modern-day iPhone a huge compliment to oneplus got a pretty pronounced fingerprint reader on the front which I'll talk more about but is crazy fast it looks really nice and there's no design slouch and so it's going up against anybody else it might have a chance when it comes to pure design the Galaxy s8 is the clear winner so next let's talk about screen this is what you are looking at all the time Green sucks your phone experience they're going to suck no matter what expect let's start with the s8 the cue HD screen so it's 20 960 by 1440 resolution is not the whole story here so don't think it's over because this packs more pixels than the full HD screen on the oneplus 5 pictures video games when the phone is a static it's like there's a sticker on it the best way I can describe it it doesn't even look real more use the phone more I can appreciate the incredible nurse of the screen things can look and middlee a little bit saturated I've gotten used to it and I kind of like it that is going to be a personal preference but one plus five is a really nice job with this display so it's full HD it's 1920 by 1080 it's an optic AMOLED panel which is really solid the 401 PPI it's an evolution of the three T's display but does give a lot of customization options support things like srgb DCI p3 a one caveat I want to mention here is if er is important to you the low resolution is not really going to lend itself to any sort of VR experience so the full HD panel on the 1 plus 5 is good and it skims even say it's great perhaps not as good and not as great as the best in the industry the Galaxy S state same issue we ran into talking about design the Galaxy s8 takes a category before you start screaming and yelling at me in the comments let's go into the next category in that software Samsung TouchWiz is used to be the biggest knock on wood used to be pretty awesome hardware it was bloated it was cartoony and made the phone slow but since the Galaxy s6 Samsung I think it turned a pretty big corner as of this filming it's based on Android 7.0 and it's surprisingly solid actually prefer to use this versus what I usually use a Nova Launcher on most other Android devices to give it a gives you a clean kind of Nexus style launcher which I appreciate they've downplayed the cartoony aspects of this a lot and they've done a lot of nice UI tweaks you're definitely not going to mistake this UI for stock Android but just look and perform well on its TouchWiz that aspect of TouchWiz gets you away from Samsung in the past definitely worth looking at oh what's software on oneplus I was a huge fan of cyanogen when oneplus first launched I shed a nerd here when they ditched it I went for own oxygen OS which was a little bit half-baked when it first launched but much like touch with oxygen OS is really coming to its own the 1+5 least ads of shipping based on android 7.1.1 so almost the most recent version of android and it looks and feels like stock where the pod of customization you can choose to the advantage of or just sort of leave it and get a really nice really close the stock Android experience if you decide to dig into the settings you're going to find a lot of really cool options to make this phone your own things like a reading mode night mode gestures launcher settings Vegas might even be a more complete OS and you can Android itself oneplus hasn't always been the best with updates so bear that in mind but this has a stock feel and it kind of seems like a hybrid between Nova and just naked nude Android and for me that is a winning combination I love what oneplus did oxygen OS this is a clear winner for the 1+5 all right so let's jump in and talk about camera this could probably be a 13th 45 minute video on its own but I tried to hit the highlights a little cliche but the best camera is the one you have with you and Cesare you're gonna have your phone with you so camera is a big determining factor in which phone people buy the galaxy si I think it's a big omission from Samsung not putting a dual sensor setup on the back of the phone a lot of the competition has including the oneplus live that doesn't hold a 12 megapixel sensor back too much pictures are awesome in normal light I think this shines in low light so it's clean high ISO and processing the glow light shop looks surprisingly good but the less like that's there the more artifact you're going to have that's not unique to the Samsung on it's kind of true with any camera but really good in low-light photos are a little bit warm and kind of contrast yet that's personal preference they make colors look a bit brighter I like it you may not also oh is is a huge help on the video side and also eight to those low-light shots and if you want to get in save photos as raw when it comes to camera on the oneplus 5 this is really what they're selling it can blaze into two separate times on the box they want you to know this is an incredible camera and it definitely is it's got two sensors the usual setup you see with those tools got a wide angle and a telephoto and I couldn't mention at this point they pretty much just ate the iPhones camera UI which they did but the good UI and it works well here and just realize impact the camera fidelity for the longer focal length in distant portrait mode is nice to have but the portrait images look crazy artifact II does not look real at all you don't get that natural K effect I think they're trying to go for I magically fixed with software but if you want this over portrait mode I would not rely on this for it at least as of shipping solo like shot suits are important to me did not come out as well on the 1 + 5 maybe there's a lack of oh is that really impacts the pictures got a smaller than point 2 micron pixels in here as well the things just looked artifacting grainy and not nearly as clear this one was kind of a tough one for me to call like you add a flexibility of the wide-angle and telephoto by myself taking a lot of low-light pictures though and again as a dad that's where a lot of my photos are taken think which is my kid sleeping image in Italy is a little bit creepy but I really like to have a camera that's good in low-light the addition of oh is on the galaxy s 8 and a little bit of a better front-facing camera as well I mean this round is surprisingly going to go to Samsung your phone's only going to be as good to you as long as it's working the battery life is I think it's an important category as well the Galaxy s8 has a 3000 milliamp hour battery which is good but not great we recharge me a wireless charging or quick charge and generally in my usage which is surprisingly heavy by end of the day I'm around 25 to 30% now your usage is going to vary but I'm pretty tough on my phone there's a lot of YouTube watch and there's a lot of social media a lot of pictures being taken a lot of things running in the background which is pretty impressive considering the amount of pixels thing is pushing and the processor that is going along with this a battery expect to be a huge difference on the one plus five that's got to be the trade-off for having a 1080p screen a little bit of a bigger battery so it's got that going for it at 3300 milliamp hours and it was better than the Galaxy s8 but not by giant leaps and bounds it's about 10 percent better than what I got on the Galaxy s8 so 35 to 45 percent I probably could have pushed that a little bit more and gone for almost two days of battery usage Jen I got my display set about 50% I think that is where the 1+5 tends to shine if battery is going to be important to you there may be better battery savings phones out there but if you want a phone it's going to last a lot longer than the competition at least so one puts five did a really nice job with that you got to decide if that trade-off is worth it do you want the extra pixels of a Galaxy s8 or another flagship phone you want a really solid screen with the admittedly better battery life the oneplus five offers battery life was very clear winner here going back to the one part so this category I've added from our last verses performance I generally don't do this because every phone now it tends to feel fast it's hard to find a phone that feels slow and the Galaxy s8 certainly does not feel slow Snapdragon 835 eight gigs of ram almost up-to-date version of Android is an incredibly fast phone there's still a few things that slow it down that bother me like I try and search for a stick allow for the keyboard to pop up but overall it is a very fast experience whether I'm playing games or browsing the web or scrolling pretty rarely do I notice and you slow down and then on the 1 + 5 the version we have is packing and insane 8 gigabytes of RAM I get the RAM it's different than your laptop but let that sink in a lot of computers out there I'd wager don't have a gigabytes of RAM in them it is an insane amount to pack into a phone I'm not even sure Android take advantage of the full amount of RAM all of that couple of the Snapdragon 835 you've got a recipe for it incredibly fast phone and it is in fact I noticed how zippy it was and perhaps maybe with psychosomatic joiners 8 gigabytes of RAM in here but everything on this phone just felt that even that same thing that bogged down surprisingly the galaxy had bait trying to pull the keyboard searching for an app team fat it might be attributed to oxygen no a source of TouchWiz I don't know but everything felt quick zippy and in other words like used to describe fastness felt that on the 1 + 5 so if you're keeping track at home we are all tied up 3 2 3 heading into the last category and that is intangible than both these phones bring a ton of in tangibility to the table on the estate side you've got things like wireless charging iris scanning Fisher recognition a headphone jack Samsung pay absolute killer screen expandable storage and you can buy it on all four carriers on the one plus five side you've got just insane performance you've got - charging way better value for the price if you're not buying ideal on the galaxy s 8 and there are a lot of deals to be had on those phones got better audio headphone jack as well it's got more band support and it is dual SIM for me though violin charging is a big one for me waterproofing also someone who's dropped their phone and water the big one to have this is a tough one to call but a tangible for me go to the Galaxy s8 so we've got a winner by four to three the Galaxy s8 takes this crown there's a big testament though to 1+4 phone that is at least full retail price about two hundred dollars less to compete with a flagship from Samsung one of the largest manufacturers in the world damn impressive what 1 plus has done they didn't build a perfect phone they built a really good phone I would have loved things like waterproofing and a high-resolution display but those things drive the price up oneplus is trying to find a nice value price versus performance and they struck a really nice balance I love doing use versus videos let me know down below which verses you want to see come up next our last time we did was the Galaxy s8 versus the iPhone 7 if you want to check that out you guys agree with me am i way off base leave in the comments and let me know I want to hear from you we'll have the whole discussion about it until next time I'm John Ranger from TechnoBuffalo we took these two mobile units and put them head-to-head which is not easy to do but one thing that is easy is to finally tell you there is a legit no compromise wireless headphones outs if you sick of bad battery life or doesn't stay in your ear or the
