1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,279
the original OnePlus One was incredibly

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,040
disruptive we thought this is the phone

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:16,240
for the people we thought that's going to explode onto the scene and force the

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:21,119
industry Giants to lower their prices and abandon consumer unfriendly

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:27,240
practices like pre-loading bloated Android skins and carrier locking their

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:30,359
devices but 3 years later nothing has

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:33,239
actually really blown up and it appears

8
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:39,719
to be OnePlus who is slowly caving to the business realities of competing in

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,480
the smartphone market the one plus 5 is

10
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:48,559
still cheaper than competing flagships but the decision to buy one is getting

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,730
less and less obvious let's take a

12
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:57,879
closer look at

13
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:03,800
it cyber power PC lineup of gaming

14
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,880
desktops feature Intel 7th generation core i7 processors check them out at the

15
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:12,960
link in the video description let's get this out of the

16
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:15,960
way first I not a huge fan of the

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,040
slipperiness of the new curved shape and

18
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:22,680
fine blasted aluminum finish on the OnePlus 5 but that's nothing a dbrand

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,520
skin can't fix and their material choices including 2 and 1/2 D Gorilla

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Glass 5 for the 5 1/2 in 1080P AMOLED

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,320
display and Sur iic for the lightning

22
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:42,520
quick fingerprint sensor are difficult to question internal highlights include

23
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:46,920
a 10 NM Snapdragon 835 processor 64 or

24
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:52,000
128 gigs of non-expandable dual Lane ufs

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:56,159
2.1 storage 6 or 8 gigs of shiny new LP

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,039
DDR 4X RAM Lightning Fast Wave 2 AC

27
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:02,719
Wi-Fi and dual SIM support with very

28
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:07,640
broad mobile network compatibility thanks to the process node shrink on the

29
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,879
CPU and GPU the lower power consumption

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:15,519
of this Cutting Edge memory and some software tweaks performance is better

31
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:20,959
than ever across the board and the five comfortably lasts me through the day

32
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,920
without delaying notifications from any of my key apps and software overall

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,560
continues to be a strong point in general for OnePlus oxygen OS is

34
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:37,599
lightweight responsive and almost as clean as bone

35
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:40,879
stock Android and where they add things

36
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,800
it Mak sense navigation buttons can be

37
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:49,319
repositioned and remapped at will and even moved on screen if you prefer my

38
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:54,680
mobile carrier's preference that mobile hotspot not be possible to add to the

39
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,319
Quick Settings was rightfully ignored

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,319
and swiping to the right reveals weather

41
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,640
a notepad recent contacts and recent

42
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:07,239
apps instead of some bloated digital

43
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:13,799
assistant but the big highlight for me this time around is really the upgrade

44
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:15,519
to gestures flip to mute is for idiots

45
00:03:13,799 --> 00:03:20,319
unless you've got a screen protector though thankfully OnePlus seems to be

46
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:25,239
aware of this and included one but three finger screenshots with a single button

47
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:30,120
to press to Autos scroll the rest of the page I'm not sure how I lived without

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:36,959
that and the ability to map some hand functions and any application launch I

49
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,879
want to five different drawing gestures

50
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:44,799
I have never launched Angry Birds on the can so fast in my life the doubleclick

51
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:50,840
camera launch too is among the fastest I've ever seen and on that subject

52
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:54,159
rightfully OnePlus is really proud of

53
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,400
their first ever dual camera solution in

54
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:01,840
general dual cameras can be used to capture sharper images or more data like

55
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,239
if they had separate sensors for black and white and color but OnePlus is going

56
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:13,239
after a shallow depth of field effect for portraits and this one made more of

57
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:16,519
a difference to me a built-in 2x optical

58
00:04:13,239 --> 00:04:20,199
zoom overall I would never know that

59
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:23,479
this was a first attempt at anything the

60
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:25,759
16 megapixel selfie camera is pretty

61
00:04:23,479 --> 00:04:29,720
good but has a very similar field of view compared to the iPhone so I do wish

62
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:35,280
it was a little wider for group shop shots but I really loved using the

63
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:39,680
five's rear cameras and unlike some other devices I've reviewed in the past

64
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:44,639
I didn't feel for a moment like switching to it during my review period

65
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,039
was causing me to miss out on properly capturing Precious Moments with my

66
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:54,680
family the only reason that I personally even care about having a highquality

67
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:57,560
cell phone camera and all the manual

68
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:03,560
dials and switches including raw capture are there for the photography nerds in

69
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,639
the native app too video recording is a

70
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:12,199
bit more of a mixed bag for me the capture modes are limited compared to

71
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:15,039
other flagships so no 240 FPS slow-mo

72
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:22,240
there's no Optical image stabilization so 4K video isn't stabilized and 1080p

73
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:24,039
video has this weird FPS character

74
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,160
effect that some people seem to really like but I don't and there's no obvious

75
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:34,160
way to disable it and from a usability standpoint

76
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,199
I hate being forced to switch to video

77
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,240
mode when I open the app before pressing

78
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,960
the record button rather than just having both buttons ready for me on

79
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:52,240
screen okay so Linus it sounds pretty good but there's no modular upgrades

80
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,759
taller aspect ratio screen retina

81
00:05:52,240 --> 00:06:01,280
scanner waterproof housing stereo speakers pressure sensitive display or

82
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:05,720
any other new stand out feature why is

83
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:08,240
this thing more expensive again well as

84
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:13,479
I alluded to before OnePlus has grown as a company solving some of their initial

85
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:17,759
problems like their Reliance on third party software and their limited product

86
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,800
availability though their customer service could probably still use some

87
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:27,000
work and they've incurred the costs that go along with this development so

88
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:32,240
instead of coming in at less than half the price of a competing flagship

89
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:38,520
they're now closer to 70% compared to the latest iPhone what

90
00:06:35,599 --> 00:06:47,000
that means is that the OnePlus 5 might not be the clear and obvious Flagship

91
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,520
killer choice for Budget consumers but

92
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:56,560
we're also giving up less than ever before which makes it a great choice for

93
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:59,919
a broader range of Android smartphone

94
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,280
buyers how does dbrand do it every time

95
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:06,720
there's a hot new device D Brand's got a hot new skin like all dbrand skins it

96
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:12,440
features high quality authentic true textured 3M vinyl and is cut with the

97
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,440
utmost of precision if you think it looks great and you want one just like

98
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:20,120
it for your laptop phone tablet console controller or more check out the link in

99
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,840
