sponsored by deep breath customized your smartphone all right we got a fancy box here it's from oneplus what a surprise now at the time that I'm filming this video I have not seen this device beyond the leaks and rumors and whatnot but when you're watching this the event has happened so you saw everything so just keep that in mind but let's go ahead let's have the experience let's see what it's all about okay kind of a cool unboxing experience never settled okay this looks like a 1 plus 7 over here we have the new bullets Wireless bullets Wireless 2 is the reviewers guy go beyond speed okay so this is gonna have all the specs you see 1 plus 7 Pro there's your first look oh my goodness we were right snapdragon 85 up to 12 gigs of ram ufs 3.0 6.67 qhd+ AMOLED it has a 90 Hertz refresh rate display a 516 PPI there is a night mode I'm gonna test that out see what that's all about 48 megapixel triple camera with an ultra wide-angle lens and a 3x optical zoom warp charge 34,000 milliamp hour battery dual stereo speakers Dolby Atmos haptic vibration and a 10 layer liquid cooling system Wow my model by the looks of it nebula blue with 12 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of storage that's a lot around it's of course on par with flagship level devices and when it comes to the processor Snapdragon e55 I mean what more can you ask for right now in this day and age ok phone goes there bullets wireless - these are of course wireless earbuds okay so the headphones are 109 so they went up in price as well warp charge 30 car charger so you can bring your warp charge into the car not just at home that's kind of nice to have the warp charge will charge up close to 50 percent of battery life on the four thousand milliamp hour battery in about 20 minutes of charge see that jack the special unbox therapy knife little teaser right there so last year's one plus sixty came out at 549 and this one obviously one plus seven Pro it's starting at 669 whoa that is a cool blue actually it's a matte blue like a kind of Samba the glass look what do we see we see the camera situation triple and setup on the back a wide-angle lens we have a zoom lens this is the thing now you want to be in a flagship territory which this one is getting awfully close with the price now at 669 it's very close for example to the galaxy s 10a which I think a lot of people are going to compare this to and so now it's like okay we're gonna throw all the camera modules in there to compete at that level of course the one plus motto has been flagship killer I mean not officially but that's sort of how people have referred to this device throughout the years so they try to bring those flagship level specs into a lower price point and if this one can replicate a flagship experience or spec list then that might be the move for you who knows USB type-c is on the bottom we also have a speaker unit there this thing apparently has stereo speakers which I'm quite curious about this up here this is gonna be the pop-up front-facing camera of course not the first time we've seen it but the first time we've seen it on a oneplus device and the first time we've seen it at this price point over here we have the three-stage switch that you're used to with oneplus devices I like that it has a texture to it it allows you to quickly switch between your audio profiles all right before I boot that up also inside the package warp charger power supply unit it's it's a little hefty but you know what it brings to the table very fast charging in the past oneplus has had some of the fastest charging if not the fastest charging devices on the market so you're definitely willing to make that sacrifice for the speed iconic red USB type-c cable and that's that alright let's boot this guy up that is a full screen display it does have a slightly you know slightly more of a chin and a forehead which is maybe they designed the wallpaper to hide that a tiny bit but it's really I mean it's relatively insignificant as you can see on this page right here never have we seen a smartphone targeted specifically at the North American market with no knotch no weird cutout scenario at the top at this price you don't have to worry about any distraction now you can also sort of see the speaker grille up there it's very subtle maybe Jack can get a better look at it there boom right there we gotta check out the motorized front-facing camera option here so flick this to the front camera it should pop up there it is very smooth very quiet there I am I doubt the mic even picked I don't think the mic pick up anything there but you know how moving parts you have a motor in there if this is an important thing to consider this is where it gets a bit weird I've been a fan of face unlock on oneplus products for a while now because it's so fast now it's not the most secure but it's really fast so if you want to make that exchange speed for security you could and you can have maybe one of the fastest if not the fastest face unlock in the game with the pop-up camera not only does it take a second to pop out but now you're utilizing that motor a lot and maybe you're more inclined to go with the fingerprint maybe this is the compromise maybe this is maybe this is your next phone I don't know alright let's test out these speakers I kept talking about doing real curious just before I pop off a few shots with the camera there's also Dolby Atmos in here now it's in dynamic by default Eve it there of course mmm little little monthly a little bit monthly most of the sound is coming out of the lower speaker here if you cover this speaker grille you're left with mostly high-end out of the other side so again it's this thing where manufacturers are saying okay this is stereo speakers but in reality it's two speakers doing different things let's just I I just I got to get to the Bauman's because I is it my ears I should I should know for sure huge and you want something sweat resistant well this has although nine hours of Wireless played 24 hours with the charging case sweat components and attributes that's all I think I would give the clarity award here to the iPhone maybe there's a little bit more low end on the oneplus but possibly at the expense of clarity the iPhone wins in a sound Department tried a couple different scenarios I think the music setting on the Dolby is a bit better like when you have that engaged versus dynamic mode on the oneplus now we might as well pop up the camera while we're at it okay so 0.6 this is what I like this is cool this gives you a really wide field of view as Jack can kind of showcase their boom now if I switch to the standard focal range you can spot the difference and then of course 3x zoom what's the difference going to be so there's one there's two there's three and this is the best excuse for jamming a bunch of cameras a bunch of lenses into your smartphone is to give you different focal ranges that allows you to have a different perspective and ultimately create different photos as opposed to in the past where like these extra lenses were capturing extra data for various portrait modes and whatnot this is just immediately useful as you can see let's go ahead and grab the plants so once again we're gonna go wide we will move to standard and all the way up to 3x zoom look at that so wallpaper right there we're doing wallpapers with the famous fake grass these results look kind of promising right now there's still a portrait mode in here so we have our famous model here and we will focus in here she's in focus the plant is blurred the shoulder this is what you look for the edge detection in the portrait mode and it looks okay now there's also a night mode they're calling it night scape and it kind of have to have it these days like you've got to have a night mode let's go dark oh it's staying bright Wow okay you know you can see how dark I am I'm barely a shadow over here but the plant is still there so Jack you can go ahead and pick that up and of course you're in that frame of course we got Kirk in this frame say what's up Kirk there you are it's in here and that's a promising sign that's a good thing I think at this price point pretty much everybody's gonna want to have it now I can't forget that pop-up fancy front-facing camera it's a fairly wide selfie situation as you can see their HDR mode seems to be engaged here by default but Beauty mode off by default oh not the most friendly there on the contrast it blew out my cheek now keep in mind I take the same selfie with almost every smartphone that comes across here so it looks have a bit of an issue with dynamic range here now maybe I can get it zeroed in on my cheek a little bit better it's very sharp the beard hair test is there but again this cheek is blown out whichever cheek is facing the light so we're gonna have to wait and see how this works in a real-world environment but right now I'm feeling like that software has to be tweaked a bit now they claim to have improved the fingerprint scanner on this model so I'm gonna go ahead and and register here since I think this how most people are gonna unlock their to fight ooh it's faster it is absolutely faster it might be the fastest in display I think it's the fastest in display I've used ooh this technology is finally getting perfected now to the point where you're not gonna be thinking about face unlock to the point where you're not gonna be thinking about fingerprint scanners they still have face on lock on this as well if you want to use it but the question is how quickly does this front-facing camera pop up now in the past oneplus face unlock has been crazy fast I've shown it off before but now you're dealing with the pop up camera so let's see how long it takes huh it's not terrible but it's definitely not as fast as it used to be now keep in mind that's strictly optical based right it's just a front-facing camera comparing your face to the image that's stored inside of here so it's not going to be as secure as other technologies that are out there and then you take into account now that it's a little bit slower than if you didn't have to pop the camera up and again I just feel like you're just gonna use the fingerprint I would turn that off I don't think I will use that frequently it does work but you're going be stressing out you'll be using that motor on a front-facing camera a lot the display qhd+ fluid AMOLED six point six seven inches it's a big display bigger than six and a half inches so here's the main advantage I mean this is why you want the bezel list design there's no distraction it's all video and this is the trade-off that they're asking you to make they're saying okay your front-facing camera it's gonna pop out it's gonna use a motor it's gonna hide most of the time in exchange here's what you're gonna get you're gonna get all video all the time and when you think about video consumption and content consumption on a smartphone that's the thing that most people do frequently but I think most of you are spending more time watching video than taking selfies could it be a huge issue if the camera didn't come up from you one day maybe and I actually needed it but this right here is everyday if you're looking at the same frame that I am that's a lot better than any kind of notch or even a hole punch that I've seen so the display on this unit by the way is ninety Hertz which is kind of unusual we've seen some gaming phones with increased Hertz ratings in the past what this means is I mean it's not just for gaming it's also your input like when you're swiping through a list for example it's the impression of reactiveness and responsiveness it's just a little bit more twitchy when you're using it you do notice it I don't think it's the reason to get this device but it is cool to see it in an OLED panel so this could be an interesting target device for gamers when you combine the OLED display at 90 Hertz along with the stereo speakers and no knotch to cover up any element of the gameplay you could imagine this being a popular choice of course all the RAM and the snapdragon 855 doesn't hurt either this is worth noting as well it's available in other colors so I have nebula blue it's also going to be available in mirror gray and almond almond kind of looks like a champagne gold they claim the pop up cameras elevator mechanism has been tested over three hundred thousand times that's a lot this means if you were to use the camera 150 times a day you'd still be able to use it for five years they also say here that the camera module in a fraction of a second will retract if the device is in freefall as detected by the accelerometer and gyroscope so it's gonna go in there and protect itself like some sort of a turtle in its shell turtle in a half shell turtle power all right so what can I say about this device it's one plus continuing their trend upwards continuing to get more premium with a more premium price tag to match the bezel list display which has been a relatively nice thing we're gonna give you top-of-the-line specs you just got a pony up 669 now the X Factor on this device is going to be the camera you saw here in the demo especially on the front facing it's like mmm maybe something could be done in the software you saw into portrait mode it's like hmm are we really a pixel level here now the only way for me to get to the bottom of that is to put the SIM card in here and hit it up on the daily snap it off those photos and seeing what I'm working with the rear camera looks promising even in this environment I thought the plant shot for example look pretty good so here's the thing if the camera can exceed my expectations in the real world we're gonna have a serious contender on our hands here I think there's gonna be a few people upset that oneplus is demanding more of your dollars but this is one of those cases in which I feel like they really are giving you more and they're being more ambitious in what they're delivering I'm actually a bit more excited for it having it in my hand because what it represents for me is a different is something different from what the other flagships are doing I have experimented with bezel s devices in the past but never daily drove one whether you hate that term or not is the best way to describe putting your sim card in a smartphone this time around I'm gonna do it because I'm happy with the software in the oneplus package in general I've used oneplus devices in the past exclusively so I'm gonna pop my sim card in here and be excited to do so just because of the fact that the front of the display it's all display and it's just not that many devices out there right now offering that opera unity and definitely not a lot of devices targeting North America at 669 that offer up that opportunity so I'm gonna be happy to slip my sim card in here I'll let you know about the camera later but for now that's the one +7 Pro 669 starting price nebula blue Worf charge Snapdragon 650 5 up to 12 gigs of ram four thousand milliamp hour battery OLED display at 90 Hertz it's an interesting package
