- Can I play Crab Rave? Will it let me load YouTube on here?
Access denied (laughing) - [Andy] What?
- Today I'm back with another phone, and another phone that you can't buy, the OnePlus 10 Pro.
However, you can buy this phone eventually, it's just not released in the US and worldwide.
Currently, this is the Chinese version
and it will have a worldwide release to be determined.
In the box, we have some instructions.
What is this? Oh, so it looks like a bunch of safety stuff it's all in Chinese though.
We have the phone itself, we will look at that in a sec. It does look very nice.
We also have a kind of regular plastic included case.
I mean, I still appreciate that OnePlus always included the case.
I love these, I have so many of them now because I've had OnePlus phones for so long.
I always found it annoying that dash charging on the older OnePlus's didn't work
with any other cable besides this one. I might be wrong that there are other cables that exist
but I had very bad luck with Type C cables back then. This is an 80-watt SuperVOOC charger.
So dash charging, warp charging
is what they had most recently. The phone has gone back to Type A
cause I know the 9 Pro was actually Type C.
All right, let's take a look at the phone. Feels very nice.
I mean, this is kind of standard OnePlus,
we've got the SIM tray on the bottom, the Type C port, speaker.
We've got the classic alert ring vibrate slider.
I really appreciate hardware sliders and buttons.
So on the back of the phone we have the Gen 2 Hasselblad camera bump with the three cameras
and a bicolor LED flash ring light thing.
But I really like the, the feeling
of the glass back on this phone. Like this is the volcanic black
and it also comes in emerald green.
On the front of the phone we have a 6.7 inch LPTO 2 AMOLED variable refresh rate display
it is one to 120 Hertz. The battery on this phone is actually pretty impressive.
It's 5,000 milliamp hours, 4,500 milliamp hours to 5,000 is a pretty solid upgrade.
And the display has 1,300 nits peak brightness
and HDR 10 Plus just like the 9 Pro did. Let's see how this phone runs LTTstore.com.
Pretty good, there's, oh, there's the new LTT tote bag. The expensive edition CPU pillow.
- [Andy] Limited edition. - Scrolling seems nice.
Oh okay, why don't we watch a video? How do I do that on this?
I've actually never used colorwise before. I guess this doesn't have YouTube.
Can I play Crab Rave? I guess I'll use the YouTube browser.
Will it let me load YouTube on here? Is that gonna be a problem?
Access denied. (laughing) - [Andy] What?
Web page does not conform to the relevant laws and regulations.
Everybody in North America,
this phone is currently in Canada, Vancouver, BC
and I can't access YouTube. Crab Rave is on Billy, good job Monstercat
or whoever stezzy, whoever uploaded this.
Thank you, you've done a good service. What is this?
So I'm gonna play Crab Rave on the iPhone 13 Pro. This is not obviously a direct comparison
cause I'm playing it on the YouTube app on Monstercat's channel from Crab Rave
versus Billy Billy on some random upload of Crab Rave.
So it might sound slightly different, but I still wanna hear it.
(Crab Rave theme song)
Honestly, not bad, not as good as the iPhone.
I think the iPhone has a better mid-range, but this isn't bad.
It, I mean is what I would expect, I guess from a flagship in terms of performance of the speakers.
I mean as for the rest of the specs of this phone, it's got up to 12 gigs or RAM, this version has eight gigs.
Oh, also you have this weird feature where you can do RAM expansion.
- [Andy] Download more RAM? - You can expand your RAM to five gigs
and it uses the storage on the device as RAM,
which is very interesting. I've never heard of a phone doing that personally,
but maybe I've wrong, and then we also have these Snapdragon 8 Gen 1,
new naming scheme, which is the latest Snapdragon processor.
I think this is actually one of the first phones announced slash release that has it in it.
On my 8 Pro, one of the things I actually want to test on this phone is the fingerprint sensor
cause the fingerprint sensor on my 8 Pro has been, even though it works it's fast
but when it doesn't work, it's really annoying. And I've redone my fingerprint so many times
on this phone and had issues with it. So I wanna know how this one performs.
I just put my fingerprint in, let's see how easy this is.
Ooh, let's see if it, let me try it again at like a weird angle.
- [Andy] Ooh. - Pretty good. Okay, do the same thing with my 8 Pro,
which is beat up right now. See, this is what I experience
- [Andy] Damn. (laughing) - It's awful, I hate the fingerprint sensor on this phone.
OnePlus has come a really far way from where they had started.
I've owned 3T the five the six and now I own an 8 Pro
and I haven't honestly loved the 8 Pro as much as I've loved previous OnePlus phones.
And I feel like that comes from the fact that over time OnePlus has kind of gone more mainstream
with their specs making sure they check all those flagship boxes.
OnePlus doesn't feel like they stand out anymore, but you know who does stand out?
Our sponsor for this video, dbrand. This video is sponsored by our robot overlords at dbrand.
- [Andy] Dbrand, Dbrand! - Who I for one welcome.
Dbrand not only sells attractive skins for your gadgets and gizmos,
but also a curated lifestyle by their super intelligence AI.
Who I for one approve of, they even make a case for this OnePlus 10 Pro.
So when my meat hooks drop it, you're fine.
So check out the human readable link below and welcome the super intelligence AI into your life.
- [Andy] Click it! (laughing)
- I'm like are you happy dbrand, are you happy now?
Anyways, check the link below guys, let's go try these cameras.
So since we're kind of low on subjects right now I'm actually just gonna take a photo of this fire hydrant and see how it works out.
And then we're gonna do a quick video test of some cars passing by and then go back inside.
Cause it's freaking cold out here even though it doesn't look like it. It's a pretty rough situation.
Here's some Andy action in 8K video. Oh, here's a Porsche.
So here's a quick test of the selfie camera.
There's Andy. - Hello. - I look not normal.
So this is what the selfie camera looks like. There's just, the sun is blaring at my face right now.
And then this is what I look like if I'm back lit, ooh, that is blown out.
I'm shooting Andy and I'm just walking towards him.
Honestly, video is pretty stable.
There's an XPan Mode on this camera.
Kind of a silly feature, doesn't make the photos any better
but I like it that you can do this natively. Cause like I would crop my photos all the time
for this aspect ratio. I have no actual confirmation of this
but the only thing that is technically on paper, new, about this camera system
on this version of the phone is the fact that it has a 150 degree ultra wide.
Like dang, that is wide.
Oh it's so wide my finger's almost an issue in the shot.
Why don't we go review these photos. We're back inside now we're gonna just take
a quick look at these photos. This is just gonna be my first impressions guys
cause this is not a review. I just wanna see what these look like in a quick comparison.
So on the left here I have the OnePlus image
and on the right I have the iPhone image and I wasn't actually thinking
that I would see this stark a difference between the processing of these two.
I thought that the OnePlus would be
honestly a little bit chiller. It doesn't look bad. It actually like, the saturation's pretty punchy
but not in an unnatural way. The iPhone actually looks more natural,
but the colors in the iPhone in this photo in particular are pretty dull.
So here's the OnePlus image next to the Pixel image, and again like the iPhone, but still slightly different.
The Pixel looks fairly true to life
and the OnePlus is very saturated.
A little bit punchy for my taste. And then the color of the sky just isn't
what the color of the sky actually was. This is way bluer than what I saw with my eyes.
On the left we have the OnePlus image, which was just in the last photo,
really saturated and punchy, but right here it looks almost like neutral and de saturated
and then you look at the iPhone photo on the right this looks almost too saturated.
The iPhone didn't expose for the highlights as well as the OnePlus did.
I'd say it's probably not quite as good.
You have this some weird noise kind of in the flowers. Once you kind of get closer
the iPhone image is cleaner overall. So I think detail wise, the iPhone is better.
So the Pixel's kind of the in between honestly, it's not quite as saturated as the iPhone
but almost a different shade of pink than the OnePlus.
I think between these two photos I actually like the Pixel overall better
but again on the Pixel, the highlights are completely blown out
and on the OnePlus they are not, which is very strange.
The colors are just completely different
between these two cameras. Like even the blue of this car is not
the same blue in each photo. Of these two photos, I think a lot of people
would be happy with either. You might think the OnePlus is a little bit too saturated
but I kind of like it in this image. Probably the most new part of
this camera system, the ultra wide. Not amazing in terms of the detail and the rendition.
Having this 150 degree wide angle is probably gonna come in handy.
I don't know if the fish eye is gonna come that in handy. And the unfortunate thing is
you can't use video in this mode either. So you can't use the ultra wide 150 degree camera for video.
Last, let's take a quick look at video.
Ooh. It actually looks not bad.
I take that back what I said, it might be a little bit tougher phone
cause it's almost at the lower light of a magic hour.
8K video on these phones is honestly a gimmick.
I've not seen almost any phone's 8K video
that seemed that impressive. And no difference here, I mean pausing on a still frame,
it is sharp, the detail's not bad. The noise and the weird HCRing exposure,
I'm not sure I'm a fan of that even though it's probably better than the alternative
with it being just like completely blown out. So I understand why they're doing it.
So guys, this is is a first impressions video but by no means, is this a bad phone.
It's not amazing, I don't know that I personally
get a lot of use out of that, but maybe you would. Hardware wise, I think this phone is good,
but it doesn't really stand out
from the competition that much. By the looks of it, I think this is just the direction
that OnePlus has been going, where they're making flagship phones
that are pretty similar to all the other flagship phones
that exist on the market already. Which for me as somebody who really loved OnePlus
for being innovative in delivering high specs
almost at flagship level, I think that's kind of done,
and that's unfortunate. But thank you guys for watching.
Let me know in the comments down below what is, what you like and what you don't like
and tell me what you guys think of those photos because I'm more impressed than
I thought I'd be with this thing, but it's still not groundbreaking and that is unfortunate.
See ya. Channel sponsor, do you, so, Jono what's going on here?
