seemingly out of sheer determination to have me travel as much as possible to
get my hands on the new one plus six oneplus has sponsored my trip all the
way to london england and this launch is actually really
special for me because while i've never seen a mass production unit before i've
already been behind the scenes for a look at the very impressive development
and manufacturing process so i'm really
excited to see just how it's turned out
there's a limit to how much i can tell you guys today pesky embargoes right so
i'm gonna work my way through the most burning questions first starting with
the price oneplus has been increasing their msrp
generation by generation citing increased development costs and product
complexity and it looks like the six gigs of RAM 64 gig rom model is gonna be
about 30 us dollars more expensive than the oneplus 5t that it replaces
now the good news is that still 200 less
than a galaxy s9 or 300 less than an s9
plus and you're getting some pretty nice upgrades starting with the display
so it's 6.28 inches diagonally with a
super tall 19 by 9 aspect ratio and like
the oneplus 5 and oneplus 5t before it
it uses an amoled panel for perfect blacks and dci p3 color space support
it's got rounded corners and it's got the highly controversial
notch in the top but honestly i'm not even mad anymore
now that i've heard that oneplus is planning to allow users to disable the
notch outright if they don't want an ugly cutout in their ultra wide videos
like the ridiculous situation on the iphone 10.
what's not ridiculous about this phone is how few dongles i'll be carrying so
it still drives me nuts that razer went out and released a gaming phone that
requires a dongle for wired headphones not so here you can charge the 3 300
milliamp hour battery and listen to music or play games on the bus to your
heart's content now under the hood
we're getting a snapdragon 845 processor
six or eight gigs of low power ddr4x RAM
and anywhere from 64 gigs to 256 gigs of
internal storage in a variety of colors i think this is actually the most launch
skus that we have ever seen from oneplus
and the material is the most exotic that we've seen from them as well basically
every surface of this phone front and
back is made of corning gorilla glass 5
and i know what you guys are thinking but i've actually seen these phones go
through shocking like literally shock testing shocking durability tests and
survive including up to a two meter fall
on one of the prototypes in the lab so i've got no concerns about the
durability of this approach and it makes for a very striking looking and smooth
curvy feeling phone and i really like the way it sits in my hand especially
the matte version which is still made of glass but it's got a special surface
treatment on it that makes it a little bit less slippery another thing that's
pretty stunning about it is how much bigger the screen has gotten compared to
the oneplus 5 from just a year ago at nearly the same size for the frame and a
similar weight another thing oneplus has added is
gesture control if you're into the complete full screen experience
so it's drag up for home
then drag up and hold for multitask
and if you're already in an app like say for example a web browser you just drag
up from the bottom to go back shoop
and it works on both the right and left side
now i can't unfortunately show you any test shots but i have been enjoying
playing around with the camera oneplus has doubled down on their f 1.7 16
megapixel primary and 20 megapixel secondary shooter approach but they've
thrown a couple of new tricks into the mix here including a larger primary
sensor so this is intended to help with low light performance and then they've
also got an ai assisted portrait mode that is going to be coming a little bit
after launch so it's hard to say at this
time what if anything has changed about the selfie camera but their lightning
fast face unlock which does depend on the selfie camera is back
so thanks for watching guys thanks to oneplus for sponsoring me out here for a
