1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,720
usually we mock apple for holding a big event going up on stage and declaring

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:11,519
this is the most powerful fastest iphone

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,599
we've ever made i mean i should [ __ ] hope so who goes out of

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,880
their way to make the next generation product worse than the last one well as

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,560
it turns out oneplus does at least here in north america if the leaks and rumors

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:32,880
are to be believed meet the oneplus 7t the notched successor to

7
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:36,960
a notchless design so

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,680
let's go back in time friends

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:46,079
and see if the sacrifice was worth it in my magic time machine powered by

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,559
our sponsor seasonic seasonic's prime ultra titanium psu lineup is 80 plus

11
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,920
titanium rated for ultra high efficiency and backed with a 12 year warranty check

12
00:00:52,559 --> 00:01:05,119
it out at the link in the video description

13
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:10,080
oneplus has been one of my favorite smartphone makers for a long time

14
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,360
because they consistently deliver on their mission to build fantastic

15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:21,520
quality products at lower prices but these days the prices aren't much lower

16
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,200
anymore are they the 7t starts at 600

17
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,840
which for those keeping score at home happens to be the same price as an

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:32,079
iphone 10r and i thought apple was the one with a reputation for being

19
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:37,280
expensive so the 7t is actually a successor though to the oneplus 7 a

20
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,799
phone that i never got to use because last generation only the 7 pro which i

21
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:49,200
did review and loved was available in north america so that is why the 7t has

22
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,560
the teardrop notch instead of the full bezel-less display and pop-up selfie

23
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,119
camera of the 7 pro now the teardrop has

24
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,200
been made 31.46 smaller which increases the phone's

25
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,479
screen to body ratio a bit without creeping the screen too close to the

26
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,440
edges so you don't accidentally activate it that's all appreciated it's just that

27
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:13,360
this phone in september 2019 is not as

28
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:18,239
2019 as the seven pro from five months ago and if the rumors are to be believed

29
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:25,120
the markets that got the seven pro last time around that's me do not get the

30
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,480
rumored 7t pro this time around

31
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:32,640
son i am disappointed but in fairness most people are probably

32
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,959
upgrading from much older phones than one that they bought 5 months ago so the

33
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,360
7t is still gonna look pretty awesome it's got a six and a half inch amoled

34
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,640
display with a 20 by nine aspect ratio pretty wide for movies even if you have

35
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,080
to disable the notch because it bothers you it's HDR 10 plus and it's got a 90

36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,640
hertz refresh rate a feature that i personally think is wicked but is still

37
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,879
absent on flagships from samsung and apple now the upcoming pixel 4 is

38
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,159
rumored to have a 90 hertz display so subscribe so you don't miss our review

39
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,640
of that i love 90hz OLED because it feels like an

40
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,120
excellent middle ground between performance and extra smoothness while

41
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,360
gaming and just navigating around on the device the

42
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,440
thing is many games even if you're running top spec hardware will have

43
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,920
difficulty hitting 120 FPS at high details anyway flipping the phone over

44
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,879
we find a frosted glass back available in either glacier blue or frosted silver

45
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,480
along with what might be the worst camera bump that i've seen since the

46
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:39,280
galaxy camera and that was a camera i mean this does

47
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,560
not exude minimalism and refinement

48
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,519
oneplus this is huge not only that but

49
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,720
the edges are sharp like you can easily catch them on your pocket as you're

50
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,480
sliding it in i mean my guess here is that oneplus is just banking on everyone

51
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,319
using a case so let us know in the comments below is

52
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,319
that fair inside the bump we find three lenses the main 48 megapixel lens with

53
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,200
optical image stabilization a 12 megapixel telephoto offering two times

54
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:10,159
optical zoom and a 16 megapixel ultra wide angle offering a 117 degree field

55
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:16,560
of view just three degrees less than the iphone 11's 120 degree ultra wide angle

56
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:18,959
but aside from the specs an iphone 11

57
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:23,360
this camera is not while i've always praised oneplus cameras for capturing

58
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:28,880
the world as it is with natural color representation low noise and sharp image

59
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:33,919
quality without over sharpening things and while my initial reaction to the 70s

60
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,000
camera was excellent as i took more photos and more scenarios my overall

61
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,320
impression became more lukewarm comparing the 70s camera to my samsung

62
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,280
note 10 plus which to be clear is no iphone or pixel the 7t has weak dynamic

63
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,440
range compared to a flagship as evidenced by the lack of detail in both

64
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:56,479
the darkest and brightest areas here and i was shocked by how badly it messed up

65
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,800
the greens in this picture and failed to capture the sunset glow under the clouds

66
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,120
in this shot both of which are honestly kind of out of character for oneplus it

67
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,360
does still hold its own reasonably well though this picture of my wife is

68
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,840
noisier on the 7t but her skin looks slightly more natural and the color of

69
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:18,479
my couch is much closer to irl and the selfie camera is actually a strong point

70
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,199
yes i look weird here but at least i'm wearing an awesome shirt ltzstore.com

71
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,199
and the image is very sharp with great skin tones and oneplus managed to strike

72
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,360
a great balance between being able to easily fit yourself and two friends into

73
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,199
the frame while keeping distortion minimized very nice there's also

74
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,680
nightscape mode which works on both the main and ultrawide lenses as well as a

75
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,600
new macro mode that lets you snap a shot from as little as two and a half

76
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,360
centimeters away in full quality now in some situations it didn't stand out

77
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,120
compared to just using a phone with a better camera and then digitally zooming

78
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,680
in but in others like this shot of a spider i'd say that oneplus's claims

79
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,479
that it can capture intricate details that even the human eye struggles to see

80
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,319
do hold up in real life another feature the oneplus is emphasizing this year is

81
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,319
their warp charge 30t battery charging tech which they say is 23 faster than

82
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:13,600
warp charge 30 and can fill the phone's 3 800 milliamp hour battery from zero to

83
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,759
70 in just half an hour they also tried to have the battery charge at a more

84
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,600
consistent speed throughout this time rather than slowing down a ton as it

85
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,759
gets more full all while keeping the device cool even if you're playing games

86
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:30,880
now in the real world it does heat up while charging but not as much as

87
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:35,520
james's pixel 3 however while gaming the camera bump felt hotter than other areas

88
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,840
and it's kind of right there when you're holding the phone in landscape

89
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:43,600
unless of course you have a case so should you buy the oneplus 7t honestly

90
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:47,759
i'm still annoyed they removed the headphone jack starting with the 6t they

91
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,759
still lack an official ip water resistance rating even if they do have a

92
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:56,080
lot of the seals in there as we saw in our video tour of their facility and the

93
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,400
included screen protector this time around just feels poorly thought out

94
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:04,720
because using their own gesture navigation is a really rough experience

95
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,199
in terms of hand feel because it doesn't go quite to the edges but

96
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,680
while i think the camera quality is a bit below the top brands we do still

97
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:18,319
have to remember that this phone is still cheaper than those brands and

98
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:24,240
still hits all the beats we expect from oneplus the snapdragon 855 plus paired

99
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:26,240
with tons of RAM and oxygen os is as

100
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,680
light and snappy as ever the underscreen fingerprint unlock is still the quickest

101
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:34,880
gun in the west the ringer toggle which has been a staple for oneplus forever is

102
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,360
still there and still awesome and the software exposes options that matter

103
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:42,639
like i really like that during the setup they help you choose a color profile in

104
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:47,599
a way that's understandable for both normies and tech heads alike so if

105
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:52,080
you're coming from a 6t or earlier the 7t still gets the nod from me even if it

106
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:56,639
is a bit of a side grade from the oneplus 7 pro or at least it sort of

107
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:01,919
gets the nod because the thing is the oneplus 7 pro is still going to be

108
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:08,479
available with worse internals albeit not by much but a full screen display

109
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:12,240
so like what is oneplus doing here well if the rumors are true it seems that

110
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,160
oneplus has come to the conclusion that people don't need to upgrade their phone

111
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:21,759
every cycle anymore so if they alternate the availability of

112
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,800
their vanilla and their pro devices between different regions they can

113
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:31,840
maintain that rapid every six months or so release cadence while avoiding

114
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:38,159
designing quite as many skus to cover all the different colors and cellular

115
00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:40,560
frequencies and all screen or notched or

116
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:44,560
whatever else and that's an interesting approach and one that we're going to

117
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,959
keep a close eye on when they drop the 8 or maybe the 8 pro here in north america

118
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:52,560
who knows and who knows how i'm going to segue to
