just from all the leaks and rumors and the information that even one plus was putting out bit by bits you probably know a good amount already about the 1 plus 7 Pro you know that it has a new higher resolution notch list 90 Hertz display you know it has dual stereo speakers a triple camera system and improved vibration motor and that it's one of the first Android phones to support faster ufs 3.0 storage but in today's video I want to talk about some of the things that maybe you don't already know about the phone some of them big things and some of them just small little quirks so we'll start off with that pop-up selfie cam now if you're like me you might be worried about having a moving part in your phone and it's durability but oneplus says that they tested the pop-up camera over 300,000 times and they've actually built a fair amount of software into the phone to help protect it so if you switch back and forth between the cameras like a madman over and over and I did this just because it looked cool you get a little warning telling you to essentially take it easy if you try closing it by manually stuffing the camera back inside with your finger it automatically retracts and warns you not to do that and if you try to open the camera while something is blocking it it'll make this weird sound for a while and then it just gives up letting you know that it's blocked but maybe the coolest thing about the selfie cam software is its fall detection so if the camera is open and you accidentally dropped the phone it'll automatically retract which is pretty good especially when you consider that you know the selfie cam when it's popped up you can even have a case on the phone it's gonna be exposed so it's good that it goes back in and stays fully protected now the second thing that you may not know about the oneplus 7 Pro has to do with the camera as well this time the cameras on the back of the phone and it is actually a bit of bad news and that's the fact that you can't record video using the wide-angle camera you can obviously take photos with all three lenses but when it comes to video at least for now it's limited to just the main lens and the telephoto lens so if you're thinking about using this thing like a little GoPro yeah that's not gonna happen the third thing that you may not know over the phone is a small one in the new sim tray compared to the oneplus 60 before it this new sim tray is tiny it still dual SIM the tray has a saw on each side of the phone for a different SIM card and from the looks of it it seems like there's a larger seal around the tray for water resistance I know that one post didn't have this phone officially IP rated but this at least is a good sign so the fourth thing that you may not know about the oneplus 7 pro is that while it has the same USB C port as the 60 in terms of raw data transfer speed dois +7 is way faster with USB 3.1 compared to USB 2.0 on the 60 alright the fifth thing that you may not know is a new software feature that won't plus implemented into the 7 pro called the Zen mode enabling this mode basically disables your phone for 20 minutes at a time so you can focus on whatever it is that you're doing without your phone distracting you now while this may sound a lot like screen time or like digital well being it's not because you literally can't disable it once it's started there's no home button there's no back button you can press and you know I thought for sure that if I restarted the phone it would go back to normal but nope it still doesn't work so I like it I mean when you turn on Zen mode it's a real commitment not to use your phone letting you have date night or whatever it is and allowing you to reclaim some of your attention at least for 20 minutes without any temptation at all ok the sixth thing that you may not know about the oneplus 7 pro is its fingerprint scanner is a lot better than it was before on the 16 not just because of the 3 element lens and the larger sensor compared to that phone but also because of the new algorithms that do an even better job of learning your fingerprints so it works faster and more accurately now usually you can't really show the progress these types of algorithms make on a phone but with the fingerprint scanner you actually can so here I registered a fresh scan of my finger and while it works when I use it just right when I turn my finger over to the edge it doesn't work no matter how many times I try but as I unlock the phone successfully with that finger over and over the phones algorithm learns more about my finger and slowly but surely starts adding it to the database eventually getting to the point where that seemed sideways unlock that I was trying it earlier works nearly every time this means that you don't go into the settings and register that same finger multiple times in an attempt to improve accuracy at first the fingerprint scanner is not gonna be that great but the more you use it the better it gets I literally hated the fingerprint scanner when I first started using this phone but now that I've used it for a while now that I've trained it it's improved to the point where it's no longer an issue it actually works pretty damn well and you know while still preferred the old style of fingerprint scanner like the one on the pixel the scanner is no longer a deal breaker for me moving on the seventh thing they may not know has to do with those curved edges on the phone no there's no edge panel like on the Galaxy phones and no I'm not the biggest fan of curved edge displays but oneplus did add a nice little animation when you receive a notification it's a small little quirk for sure but it's something that does add a bit of value when phone is just sitting off to the side and you get a notification and finally the eighth thing that you may not know about the oneplus 7 pro is it has a new cooling system that oneplus is calling ten layer liquid cooling which is supposed to keep the phone running strong even after long gaming sessions now from my experience with the phone with the dual speakers and the 90 Hertz display the phone definitely still gets hot but more importantly it hasn't led to the processor overheating to the point where there's thermal throttling of course we'll learn a lot more about the phone's performance once we do our speed test but that's pretty much it for me in this video I do have my review of the phone coming soon along with the speed test and the battery test wants the phone's become publicly available so subscribe if you don't want to miss out on those hit that thumbs up button if you liked the video I was trying to give you guys some different covers compared to what you're probably seeing in your feed thumbs down if you didn't like the video it still helps me get better and uh I'll see you in the very next episode you
