hey what is up guys I'm KB HD here and today we're talking about a phone a phone that is taking the internet by a storm very recently since it was announced and revealed it's the oneplus one now to clarify it's the company name is one plus and the phone name is the one now I don't physically have the phone yet but I figured I'd address it anyway because so many people have asked about this phone and for good reason it's seriously impressive before the actual hands-on footage there's a channel called Android Authority and Josh over there makes excellent videos he actually did get to spend some time in person with this phone so the hands-on footage is from him and I will link that right below the like button if you want to check out the entire video so why is everyone talking about this one plus one I was teased a lot by this Chinese manufacturer oneplus it's a relatively new company not really too sure what to expect to them turns out it has really nice specs so it's rocking a 5.5 inch 1080p display it has a 13 megapixel back facing 4k camera a 5 megapixel front facing camera the 2.5 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 801 the Adreno 330 GPU 3 gigs of ram a 3100 milliamp power battery to power it all clearly this thing is firing on all cylinders in a spec department now before it was revealed it was all hype from oneplus about these no-compromise beastly specs but we didn't actually get to see the design of it so now that it's actually been revealed we also get to see how it's packaged what the design looks like and it does look pretty nice now again I haven't held the device in person but you can see here from Josh's videos it looks like it fits in the hand pretty well again it's a big 5.5 inch display so it's a decent sized body similar to the Oppo find 7 a that I revealed and it's got some solid build materials so it appears to be as well built as the Oppo at least that's what it looks like from the videos we have to watch there's also some other videos from oneplus about its construction and you can see it has a slightly curved design and a bit of a tapered back to make it feel thinner and it doesn't have any weird protruding bits of the camera or anything so it's pretty compact and it looks like the back will actually be replaceable at least in the near future to let you choose from a bunch of back materials later like a sort of a do-it-yourself moto maker and what's cool is underneath the hood on the software side you're gonna get a custom version of CyanogenMod called CyanogenMod 11's and because this is custom it's built specific for this device so this partnership will let them use unique signage and mod features like data encryption and the new camera app and it also gives you the ability to switch between software and hardware capacitive buttons on the fly so you can choose which one you want whenever you want with a single switch in the settings that's a first and as far as I can tell no other phone lets you do that so that's an advantage to working with cyanogen on a custom OS traitor' phone plus i'm sure there will be many more features like that but the most impressive thing about the one plus one and the real reason so many people are talking about it is the price so this phone comes in a 16 and 64 gigabyte version the 16 gigabyte version which only comes in white will be $299 and the 64 gigabyte version which only comes in black will be $349 which means they only went up by $50 going from 16 gigabytes to 64 gigabytes unlike some other manufacturers so compared to other phones that is insane and compared to other high-end phones with similar specs like this that's even more insane our beloved Nexus 5 which sells in the Google Play Store is 16 gigabytes for $349 that is a really good price for this high-end phone and that undercuts a lot of the other high-end phones like the galaxy s5 and the HTC One this 1+1 undercuts the Nexus 5 for the price of one 64 gigabyte iPhone 5s you can get to 64 gigabyte oneplus ones and have a hundred and fifty dollars left over for whatever so yeah the fact that they're able to get that insane screen the 5.5 inch display the awesome specs and the great camera and big battery all in a phone for this low of a price has a lot of people talking of course the natural question is why is it so cheap you know is it is what's the catch what's the trade-off is it gonna fall apart in two years is there a design flaw something we don't know about it's just really mind-blowing to a lot of people that can be the same specs as the Galaxy s5 and HTC One and be half the price so of course if you couldn't tell I am really curious to get my hands on this device and review it in full detail and show you guys everything I can on the site it says available in q2 so that's all ready now so hopefully it should be on sale very very soon and I would out keep an eye on the the oneplus site and the oneplus Twitter of course if they're sending out review units so what do you guys think is this the real flagship killer that they're saying it is um I don't know I just I'm excited to see it I'm hesitant because I don't know how they got it down to this price when the One m8 continues to be 600 bucks but I'm excited I'm definitely excited to see it so let me know what you guys think in the comment section below and thanks for watching this video this quick video and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
