so here I am at the oneplus event in New York City and why do I feel like I was just here oh right because I was anyway oneplus just unveiled their latest flagship the 1 + 5 t and they sponsored us to come here to be among the select group of people who will be hands-on with it first now there are a handful of major changes with the five-team let's do the big deal stuff first this is the first device ever from oneplus to deviate from the traditional 16 by 9 aspect ratio and also the first to feature an immersive display with super narrow bezels and it's AMOLED which is yet again this is becoming a theme here off first for one plus its 2160 by 1080 for better battery life compared to higher resolution options and it comes with the usual benefits of OLED like a near infinite contrast ratio and power savings on darker backgrounds though it also comes with the usual drawbacks so I'll be watching for any early reports of burnin on this display I'm really diggin the body design here it's super clean with the antenna lines well disguised and you can get it in any color you want as long as it's black and while the finish is a little bit slippery in the hand it's nothing that a vinyl skin couldn't fix and the shape and aspect ratio make it pretty handleable considering that is a 6 inch display I like the way that they've also squeezed together the nav buttons at the bottom so it's a little bit easier to reach across with one hand if you don't have gigantic digits now not generally a huge fan of rear fingerprint scanners but one plus figures they've gotten around this with their high speed face unlock it does seem to work pretty well so far but I will need to spend more time with it the rear camera also got some interesting upgrades 4k 30fps video is electronically stabilized now but probably more importantly I've been saying for a while now about both the node 8 and the iPhone 8 plus that the telephoto lens on the second rear camera doesn't achieve much more sharpness than digitally zooming the usually sharper main shooter well apparently oneplus agrees because their dual 16 and 20 megapixel camera system uses two lenses with the same focal lengths to achieve debt sensing for their portrait mode and their second one is actually tuned for better low-light performance with a 4 to 1 pixel mapping scheme that they're calling intelligent pixel technology requires more testing as with everything we're seeing today but it's very interesting and finally true to the one-plus tradition the specs are taught drawer especially considering the aggressive pricing every 5 team will get a snapdragon 835 processor then there's 6 gigs of RAM on the 64 gig model and 8 gigs of lpddr4 X memory on the 128 gig model and that's accompanied by an adrenal 540 GPU dual SIM slots fast type-c charging a 3300 milliamp hour battery and yes my friends you can't really see it because it's dark in here but that is a headphone jack and they're doing this without making a ton of compromises that I feel are likely to affect their average user off the top of my head you are giving up wireless charging but you're getting a superbly crafted blasted metal body that should be harder to break than a glass backed one and you're giving up a dedicated button or a squeeze for Bixby or a Google assistant but you're getting one plus is trademark free position notification slider so I'll be spending the next couple of weeks with the 5 t hopefully I'm taking one away from the unveiling here with me today and I'll be looking deeper at the 16 megapixel selfie camera as well as some of the software tweaks that one classes built based on their community feedback program like parallel apps so let me know in the comments if you have any questions about it that you would like to see addressed in my review the 5 T will be available on November 21st so thanks for watching and thanks again to oneplus for bringing me out here to see their latest and greatest
