2014-08-08
this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club what's up everyone John Reggie from TechnoBuffalo here a few weeks ago we ran the review of the oneplus but I can do it mark and Brandon did a combo of the video and they're written side of it obviously the device for about two and a half oops thought I'd share my impressions of the oneplus one their brand didn't work we're really excited when the device came in they've heard a lot about it wanted to use it obviously the review is pretty gushing if you want to see the full video reviewing the full written review as well as pictures and stuff from the gallery and the camera then we down below to go and check that out it's not gonna be a for review just my general ramblings and impressions on the oneplus one so the first thing about the phone I bought this this isn't a press unit it's not a demo unit I really wanted to try it so I picked up the device in order to pick up the device though you got to get an invoice and that's sort of the first problem with the phone the invite system is ridiculous no problem telephone limited quantities make it hard to find but the invite system just makes it seem silly and elitist and unnecessary people that want to give the company their money it should be in wide release know sometime next month so you know waiting for it you know you might be rewarded in just a few weeks time I like the phones always gone on record saying I love my giant phones the 5.5 inch screen which is 401 PPI is really really awesome it is really good indoors as well but it is borderline useless outdoors and I keep my brightness up pretty high usually about 80% I got almost put up 200% to really see it burn direct sunlight good luck seeing the phone also it's got some cool technology that makes the touch sensitive part of the screen close to the glass it also has an oleophobic coating on it which is supposed to get the oils away this thing is a fingerprint freakin magnet on the front but all phones kinda are just one just seems to be worse but I always think that what I'm using is the worst of all so I don't think that's just me the back of the phone's one we have is a 64 gig it's sandstone black it's not necessarily the color that I like the texture the back of this phone feels really awesome to hold it's got the right amount of grip right amount of slide it just probably one of the best feeling backs to devices that I've ever used I always loved metal phones but I don't miss a metal phone at all with this guy I should say though well the front is fingerprint II the back though not so much the best thing I think about this phone you get sort of super phone specs for a $349 price for 64 gigabyte model which is ridiculously cheap you could probably use this phone for a year and then sell it in you know Salib a year later and probably sell it for 200 bucks so you use the phone for you of cost $150 it is really impressive but probably the most impressive thing about the phone for me is the battery it's got a pretty big 130 100 million powers but this thing lasts for ever I test a lot of phones so I've got a pretty sort of wide sample of battery life I can say I think it's a good degree of confidence we just lost my memory shot that this is the best battery I have ever used on a phone I always charge my phone every single night I use my phones pretty hard I use this for two days without charging time I plugged in on the second day so I had about 15 percent battery life left which is awesome I'm pretty heavy on my phones couple hours of phone calls emails being pulled down every five minutes social media pictures video a lot of Instagram way more than I probably should and this battery life is ridiculous so if you're a heavy user you travel a lot I ain't have that much time to plug your phone in or you always forget really good phone to consider it stopped my oneplus talk for a quick sec to thank the good peeps at the Dollar Shave Club if your dude then you grow dude facial hair probably if you don't my apologies and it sucks to shave if you can tell it's not my favorite thing in the world I don't have that much free time I hate going to the store shout out 20 bucks for some stupid shave tech that I don't use it all but fortunately there's a company that's making it we we easier it's called Dollar Shave Club obviously they make it super simple which is good for me for a few bucks a month the folks Dollar Shave Club shipped pretty awesome quality razors and other bathroom things right to your house so you can get it while you're still in your pajamas which is super have you the razors are just as good as a big shave companies are just a fraction of the price I've got all kinds of other stuff too like dr.
