00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.560
Some people in the comments have actually called out since the Samsung fold video that I went back to a brick phone and more specifically

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:12.120
I went to the one plus eleven which makes me really excited to jump two generations to the one plus

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.580
13 which out of the box comes with the most up-to-date oxygen OS and

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:23.400
Android 15 and features the octa core snapdragon 8 elite CPU which

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.040
Hold on first of all that is a really pretty blue midnight ocean

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:36.620
I actually really like that and it feels like almost like a leathery kind of back compared to I guess this is again two

00:00:36.620 --> 00:00:41.200
Generations older, but more of like a plasticky gloss back feels really good in the hand

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.360
It almost feels like it adds a little bit more texture as you can see by the crack on mine

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:48.720
It definitely did slip out of my hand while I was on the toilet. So hopefully

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:52.800
This color will stay in your hand a little bit more, but let's see what else is in the box here

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:57.760
Oh, wow, that is a Chonky wall wart which can deliver 80 watts

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:02.080
I know the phone can do it, but that's awesome that they actually included a wall wart capable of that

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:05.920
Most phones might do some sort of 80 watt or 100 watt fast charging

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.080
But we'll only include a 45 or something watt charger and of course one plus trademark red

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.720
Moda what three and a half foot USB a to USB-C cable touring the outside of the phone here

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:21.880
It actually looks like they've moved the notification slider

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:28.160
So this is where you can have it on silent vibrate or your ring on they've moved it to the left side here and on the right side

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.760
Volume up and down and our power button and then on the bottom your sim tray and your USB-C port there

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:42.160
And then of course on the back They kind of have their signature circle design with the three cameras by Hasselblad, which we'll get into a little bit later here

00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:46.520
Let's power on the phone. There we go. Yep. It looks like a one-plus phone

00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:51.520
which some people have had hot takes over the years about oxygen OS kind of pivoting to more of a

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.320
stylized operating system instead of its roots where it was supposed to be a

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.720
Grounded more back to roots Android However, you like it. It's up to you

00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:07.360
I personally don't care because I joined the one-plus game kind of late speaking of the OS one plus has promised four years of Android updates and

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.760
Six years of security updates meaning, you know, as long as phones don't get crazy in performance

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:16.440
It might be worth just holding on to this for those four to six years another feature that I saw

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:22.000
I saw a video breakdown by another youtuber I forget his name off the top of my head, but they've done a quite a few changes between

00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:29.120
oxygen OS 14 and oxygen s15 including some stylized animations some other security features

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.800
Like you can actually have your notifications hide if it detects someone is looking over your shoulder

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:42.400
Which is kind of cool I think some people might like those features and I would say the animations kind of give it more of an iPhone feel

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:51.120
If that's what you're looking for in an Android phone But having a fancy OS with a bunch of features doesn't really mean anything if you don't have great hardware to power it and underneath like I said

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:57.600
That snapdragon 8 elite chip is what's powering this phone It's boasting a 45% performance boost improvement as well as

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.520
44% more efficient on the battery meaning longer battery life

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.560
Maybe with watching a YouTube video or better performance in games

00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:10.800
This is normally where I would show some numbers about that, but unfortunately our it's the Christmas holidays and our Labs was on break

00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:15.640
So we don't have any hard numbers on how long this phone will last but it is powered by a

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:22.720
6000 milliamp hour battery which is up there with all the flagship phones and I think from there you could probably

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.840
Guestimate it will last you all day probably just fine

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.080
Charge it overnight or charge it while you're in the shower and again that 80 watt fast charging

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:37.640
Means you can probably charge it pretty quick and I guess talking about long-lasting watching a video or something

00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:43.600
We should actually pull up some content on the screen. It looks again I would never ever complain watching any sort of media on this phone

00:03:43.600 --> 00:03:48.360
It's a 6.8 inch 1440p AMOLED display at 120 Hertz

00:03:48.440 --> 00:03:52.040
So hopefully some high refresh rate gaming might look really smooth as well

00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:58.920
And apparently at display mat It was the only phone or the first phone at least to receive an a plus plus rating that should mean it's pretty good

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:03.840
And I think for 99% of people they would look at this phone and probably go that's incredible

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.800
But half of a video's experience is the audio. I want to hear the speakers

00:04:12.160 --> 00:04:18.000
These are definitely Not the best speakers I've heard in a phone in fact

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.240
I probably wouldn't want to go much higher than 50% I'm going to because I want to test it

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:27.480
But I can tell right now that going higher. This is probably gonna suck

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:38.480
They're loud so if you want everyone in the room to hear it if you're showing someone a video that's the mission accomplished

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.480
I don't know. I wouldn't say that they're amazing. They would pass a test, you know

00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.960
I like I don't know I I think phone speakers always end up peaking usually when they're at 100% anyways

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.520
And I have found that on my phones in the past around that 70% to 80% mark seems to be their peak in this case

00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:03.880
It seems to be About the 50% mark maybe 60% before I start noticing some crackling the bass sounded really good though

00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:06.920
It was actually like thumping, but we all know why you guys get phones

00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:14.000
You want a game what you guys don't have phones one of the crazy things about that new snapdragon elite 8 is it apparently can be

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.680
Equipped all the way up to 24 gigabytes of RAM and 1 terabyte of storage

00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:25.040
One plus has dialed that back the max you can get is 16 gigs of RAM and 512 gigabytes of storage or starting at 12

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:30.120
And 256 either way, I think no matter what spec you get it'll probably translate to some good gaming

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:33.400
So let's let's give her a try. Oh, let's go

00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.600
Yeah, I'm a gamer what can I say got a 4k, but as of right now feels cool in my hand doesn't feel like it's getting warm

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.840
Which is great. It doesn't seem like I'm dropping below 120

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:50.880
I don't have any sort of FPS counter open on screen So I went in the settings and looked it's set to 120

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:54.520
It looks to be about the same what I was looking at you guys won't be able to see it

00:05:54.520 --> 00:06:00.080
But it is very smooth. No hitches. I mean, I'm not saying caught is the most demanding of games, but it's definitely up there for a

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:03.880
Mobile game. Okay, let's look at an actual reason you guys buy a phone sometimes as the cameras

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.040
Of course, like I mentioned earlier It has kind of its signature look of the tri cameras on the back made by Hasselblad

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:18.120
And each of those three cameras on the back is 50 megapixels, which if you remember from the 12 the telephoto lens was actually 64

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:26.720
Why they chose to go from 64 back down to 50 not really sure apparently some reviews and some people are saying that it is a little bit worse I

00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:34.120
Think again for most people It's probably gonna be okay if you are someone who's buying a phone to go take professional photography

00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:39.320
You're not buying a phone So I think again, it's gonna be fine for most people the selfie cam on the front

00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:45.120
Which as you can see is kind of like a little hole punch camera it seems to be about the same specs as before 32 megapixels and

00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.320
I think I like hole punch cameras

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:58.600
Man, I go back and forth on this decision all the time I like hole punch cameras more than most underscreen cameras, but then every time I've looked at red magics underscreen camera

00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:01.800
That's the best implementation. I've ever seen in this case

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.680
It might work one plus does kind of an iPhone thing where they have like a dynamic island at the top where you can see some

00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:13.240
Notifications see if your screen recording seeing if there's some app doing something in the background

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:19.380
And I guess in that sense you don't notice the hole punch as much again making this phone feel more almost

00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:23.520
Iphone-y than anything, but let's let's actually take some photos here take a photo of my boys

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:31.560
Yep, that's a phone doing the classic Trademark watermark at the bottom. I'm sure you could remove that in the settings

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:37.360
Yeah, that's I love I love point six millimeter. This is my selfie

00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:45.260
Yep, that's a selfie again shooting towards kind of like Belle and Andrew over there is probably one of the worst-case scenarios because there's like

00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.880
Studio lights shining directly into the lens. It does a pretty good job. I don't know

00:07:49.880 --> 00:07:54.500
I wouldn't complain now these cameras can do all the way up to 8k 24 FPS

00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:02.040
4k 60 FPS, but according to the last phone the the one plus 12 some people apparently experienced frame drops

00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:05.680
So I'm curious if maybe if we do a quick record here

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.560
And we'll let it roll for a little bit if we end up experiencing the same thing. Maybe it was a CPU limitation

00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:16.880
Maybe it was a RAM limitation. I don't know we'll let the camera kind of go for a while here

00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:20.280
Let's let it play back here and see if we see anything the stabilization is really good

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:27.000
But that's where I'm noticing the frame drops. I'm noticing occasionally. It'll like skip what should be smooth

00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:34.120
It's very subtle and I think for like obviously if you're trying to record something that maybe you're gonna post on TikTok or for

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:39.200
Your YouTube channel obviously hitches are gonna suck and they're gonna, you know affect the quality of the video

00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.100
But if you're someone who's just you know filming your kid unboxing a Christmas gift

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:48.080
You probably won't really care that much, but it's it is there. It's definitely an issue. I can see

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.440
So depending on your use case some other quick rapid-fire specs about the phone Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.760
IP68 and IP69 and a whole whack ton of AI features

00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:04.520
Yeah, you hear the crickets too. I'll never use those features. Anyways, the starting price for this phone

00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:12.120
$900 for the 12 gigabytes of RAM and 256 and then this version here, which is the 16 and 512 is a thousand US dollars

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:21.080
One plus definitely getting into that flagship pricing And I think the difference between this one and my 11 isn't quite enough to jump considering

00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.840
I believe my 11 is also going to be getting oxygenos 15

00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.920
But for some of you out there, maybe this is the jump you want to take if you want a more

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.720
Iphone-y like experience on an Android or if you're running an even older version of a OnePlus phone

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:41.400
Let me know your guys thought on the phone It's $100 more than the 12 which you should go check out Linus actually did an unboxing of that one last year like comment subscribe
