don't actually want to carry around adapters and relearn all of their gestures well for them there's the oneplus 5t a purely incremental improvement over the oneplus 5 and now in sandstone white today's video is brought to you by be quiet! the dark base 700 is an extremely versatile case featuring RGB led lighting and a tempered glass side panel window check it out at the link below i first checked out the 5t when oneplus sponsored my trip to their new york launch event and since then i've spent about a month using it and i've got a few impressions to share oneplus slogan is never settle but if we're being honest they come in at a lower price with a few key feature trade-offs against the top tier flagships so isn't that exactly what they're asking us to do well when it comes to construction quality the original black 5t feels good with a great curved shape nice clicky buttons and a satisfyingly smooth body to glass transition and then the sandstone white adds a little bit more grip and subjectively a better look though with that said if you're the type to apply a dbrand skin this might not be a huge issue for you the one area where you are settling is water resistance and this is something that i would really hope to see oneplus address in the six moving on to specs here's a rundown of the freshly launched sandstone white edition it's exactly the same as the regular 5t which is pretty much the same as any other flagship smartphone at least until qualcomm snapdragon 845s start showing up in the wild sometime later this year the decent sized 3300 milliamp hour battery combined with the lower 2160 by 1080 resolution on the 18x9 OLED display amounts to a settling or a compromise of sorts but it's not one that i think anyone is likely to notice in day-to-day use i got great battery life out of the 5t regularly making it through very demanding days and the screen was sharp with no off-axis viewing anomalies or burn-in on either of my units and watching movies in the wider aspect ratio was a treat aside from the bottom mounted single speaker which i would like to see addressed on the six as well on the software we are settling a little bit again to be clear i actually really like oxygen os it's damn close to stock Android but with a few thoughtful add-ons like better screenshot management shortcut keys oneplus signature notification toggle and this really cool feature that i've mostly only seen on asian focused phones the ability to run multiple installs of apps so you don't have to switch your login profile all the time which is a huge boon for anyone with separate work and personal social media accounts like me however instead of shipping with oreo like the pixel 2 we're stuck with nougat until oneplus rolls an update sometime in 2018 and you can't count on the support period either the 3 and the 3t both got Android nougat with oreo to come but the 2 which was released in mid 2015 is still stuck on marshmallow so your mileage may vary now let's talk about the quality of life things oneplus facial unlock isn't as good as face id on the iphone 10 or even samsung's iris scanner from my anecdotal experience but now that winter is rolled around it is a heck of a lot better than nothing so i definitely prefer that to taking my hands out of my gloves or my pockets though it should be noted that when i wasn't wearing gloves i was really pleased with the performance of the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor even if i do continue to prefer front placement as for the camera well ditto i guess it's missing some

my daily driver pixel 2 xl for the 5t so i could plug in and jam out to some tunes like bloody hell cell phone industry why are you doing this to me and as for oneplus thank you for at least putting
