00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.680
so normally when i start writing these videos i put my sim in the latest shiny

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.000
gadget fire it up and i start taking notes on

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.920
all the little things that jump out of the screen and make me sit

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.400
up and take notice a strategy that really doesn't work as

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:24.800
well when you're basically reviewing the same phone for the second time

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.800
but is the oneplus 3t the same phone

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:32.559
but at a higher price or like an apple s refresh have they

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:37.440
added enough to make it worth sitting through my video again

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:41.960
well there's only one way to find out

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:41.960
by sitting through my video again

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.960
are you looking for a new gaming desktop or laptop check out ibuypower's black

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:01.120
friday deals which include dozens of free upgrades at the link in the video

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:06.479
description physical tour time if you've never seen

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:08.320
a oneplus 3 the t other than replacing

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:13.680
the graphite color with gunmetal looks identical from the

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.159
outside at the back is the oneplus logo a flash a camera bump a noise cancelling

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:23.119
mic and a couple of racing stripe i mean antenna lines on the right is the dual

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:28.799
sim tray and one of my biggest complaints about the 3t the easy to

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:34.479
accidentally press lock button directly opposing the on the right volume rocker

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:39.600
and notification mode switch that i didn't use much my first time around

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:44.400
with the 3 but actually started to really like this time i don't know if

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:49.600
it's a new feature of Android wear but my watch actually tells me what mode

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.920
it's in in real time on the top of the screen so i never forget that i'm in

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:59.360
silent mode anymore one of the reasons i never use silent mode

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.240
then on the bottom is the usb 2-speed

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:06.000
dash charging type-c connector a grille for the single speaker though now that

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:09.599
apple has implemented dual speakers through the earpiece hopefully that'll

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.080
show up in the four and every other phone from now on

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.200
and a headphone jack which i hope doesn't go

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.440
away for that same industry follows apple reason

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:25.840
then around front are a couple of my favorite things about the 3t

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:31.920
but also the 3. no changes here the gorilla glass 4 covered 1080p amoled

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.160
display it's bright performs admirably

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.000
in direct sunlight doesn't waste GPU power on pixels that no one will be able

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:43.360
to see from further than four inches away and comes calibrated for a neutral

00:02:41.519 --> 00:02:47.519
natural look rather than an over saturated one

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.760
and the lightning fast fingerprint reading touch home button flanked by

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.080
built-in capacitive buttons which can easily be swapped in software if you

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:01.920
prefer back on the right side or on the left or disabled out right if you prefer

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:04.239
on-screen buttons which i am pretty much

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:06.879
over at this point but your mileage may vary

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:13.280
internally more though it's still not much has changed

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:18.560
the snapdragon 820 CPU has been replaced by an 821

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.400
also with an adreno 530 GPU this is not

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:24.720
an architectural or manufacturing process update just a clock speed bump

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.840
then for the heavy users oneplus has stuffed a 3400 milliamp hour battery

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:34.959
into the same size chassis without adding any weight very nice

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.640
the camera is the same which is actually a good thing its low light performance

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:42.239
is excellent so is its highlight performance shutter speed launch time by

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.640
the way everyone should have double click to launch because it is freaking

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.920
awesome and its under the hood options are great with raw capture available for

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:54.560
the shutter bugs and tweakers

00:03:51.920 --> 00:04:00.640
then you've got six gigs of lp ddr4 memory a 128 gig non-expandable option

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.720
instead of just 64 and it's all running on a slightly updated Android

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:09.599
marshmallow though it should be noted that most if not all of the enhancements

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.000
here are also coming to the three this includes the updated quick access icons

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.799
in the status bar a way to fingerprint protect apps though it didn't really

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:20.720
come up for me a call blocker blacklist

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.800
it is bewildering to me that this isn't a base Android feature with cloud

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:29.600
synchronization at this point and a new clear all mode that wipes out background

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:34.240
processes too they'll use it with caution because sure your CPU usage will

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:40.639
go down but you might stop getting notifications and stuff

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:43.520
so what isn't coming to the three

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:50.400
good question a higher price for one the 3t is being sold alongside the 3 as a

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:54.400
more premium model for 440 bucks for a

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:57.199
64 gig or 480 if you want the 128.

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:02.240
this is basically oneplus bowing to the realities of competing in the flagship

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:06.800
smartphone market by hiking prices again just like they've done every

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:11.280
generation to cover presumably the cost of extra marketing customer support

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:16.240
supporting more colors and capacities and the like

00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:18.720
also you get the better 16 megapixel

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.919
selfie camera i mean i don't personally take a lot of selfies but its

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.120
performance is noticeably better very good and the

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:30.880
smile to capture mode would probably work really well if you

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.000
were trying to take selfies not with your children for whom waiting three

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.919
seconds for a countdown timer would be some kind of christmas miracle

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:43.919
which leads us pretty well into customization

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.000
some stuff oneplus does really well here

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.960
being able to make my google bar clear or white being able to nickname apps on

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:56.240
the home screen three finger swipes screenshots so cool and having better

00:05:53.840 --> 00:06:01.280
control over power saver features all resulted in real experiential

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:06.400
improvements battery life on the 3t is excellent even with all my crap loaded

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.720
on it i couldn't burn it in a single day but they still missed some basic stuff

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.840
digging deep enough i found some poorly translated english in the settings menu

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:21.360
and some more customization options are still needed why can i turn on the

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.720
flashlight or pause media by drawing on

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.680
the blank screen but i can't bind those functions to a

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:33.120
double press of a button like i can with other functions and why can't i launch

00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:35.520
an app via either of these means finally

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:41.039
why oh why can't i set up a five wide grid of home

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:45.360
screen icons with the default launcher which i like and want to use

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:48.479
i don't know but these are minor complaints and the

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.440
oneplus 3t thanks to google's decision to abandon

00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:58.960
their low price strategy way back with the nexus 5 and price the pixel like an

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:04.000
iphone means that even at a slightly higher price it is still very

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:08.080
competitive it's a shockingly easy to hold five and a half inch phone that

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:12.560
performs well here's a real world look at their supposed faster app launch

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:17.680
speed compared to the s7 by the way and just feels quality in the hand highly

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:23.280
recommended just like last time

00:07:20.479 --> 00:07:27.360
and it's time for another mass drop spot mass drop they take lots of buyers and

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:32.319
they take lots of sellers and they put them together they sell more you buy for

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:38.720
cheaper everybody gets a good deal and today's feature drop is the monk plus

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:44.240
blue from venture electronics really they actually sound surprisingly good

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:47.599
like shockingly good for the price just the thing that's confusing to me is that

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:52.400
they're only five bucks so i'm really not sure how mass drop is going to

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.680
recoup the money they're spending on this advertising spot that they're

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:59.599
buying right now but i guess that's not my problem and it's not yours either so

00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:03.599
check them out at the link in the video description to get your hands on a pair

00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:07.199
of earbuds that sound far better than what you get at the dollar store but are

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.039
cheap enough that you can basically treat them like they're disposable if

00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:16.160
you're one of those uh scatterbrained people who often loses your earbuds

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:20.160
so thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome get subscribed hit that
