00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:07.279
the original OnePlus One was incredibly

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.040
disruptive we thought this is the phone

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:16.240
for the people we thought that's going to explode onto the scene and force the

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:21.119
industry Giants to lower their prices and abandon consumer unfriendly

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:27.240
practices like pre-loading bloated Android skins and carrier locking their

00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:30.359
devices but 3 years later nothing has

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:33.239
actually really blown up and it appears

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:39.719
to be OnePlus who is slowly caving to the business realities of competing in

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.480
the smartphone market the one plus 5 is

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:48.559
still cheaper than competing flagships but the decision to buy one is getting

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.730
less and less obvious let's take a

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:57.879
closer look at

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:03.800
it cyber power PC lineup of gaming

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.880
desktops feature Intel 7th generation core i7 processors check them out at the

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:12.960
link in the video description let's get this out of the

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:15.960
way first I not a huge fan of the

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.040
slipperiness of the new curved shape and

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:22.680
fine blasted aluminum finish on the OnePlus 5 but that's nothing a dbrand

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:28.520
skin can't fix and their material choices including 2 and 1/2 D Gorilla

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.720
Glass 5 for the 5 1/2 in 1080P AMOLED

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:34.320
display and Sur iic for the lightning

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:42.520
quick fingerprint sensor are difficult to question internal highlights include

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:46.920
a 10 NM Snapdragon 835 processor 64 or

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:52.000
128 gigs of non-expandable dual Lane ufs

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:56.159
2.1 storage 6 or 8 gigs of shiny new LP

00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:00.039
DDR 4X RAM Lightning Fast Wave 2 AC

00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.719
Wi-Fi and dual SIM support with very

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:07.640
broad mobile network compatibility thanks to the process node shrink on the

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:09.879
CPU and GPU the lower power consumption

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:15.519
of this Cutting Edge memory and some software tweaks performance is better

00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:20.959
than ever across the board and the five comfortably lasts me through the day

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:25.920
without delaying notifications from any of my key apps and software overall

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.560
continues to be a strong point in general for OnePlus oxygen OS is

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:37.599
lightweight responsive and almost as clean as bone

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.879
stock Android and where they add things

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:43.800
it Mak sense navigation buttons can be

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:49.319
repositioned and remapped at will and even moved on screen if you prefer my

00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:54.680
mobile carrier's preference that mobile hotspot not be possible to add to the

00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:58.319
Quick Settings was rightfully ignored

00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.319
and swiping to the right reveals weather

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:04.640
a notepad recent contacts and recent

00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.239
apps instead of some bloated digital

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:13.799
assistant but the big highlight for me this time around is really the upgrade

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.519
to gestures flip to mute is for idiots

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:20.319
unless you've got a screen protector though thankfully OnePlus seems to be

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:25.239
aware of this and included one but three finger screenshots with a single button

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

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:36.959
that and the ability to map some hand functions and any application launch I

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.879
want to five different drawing gestures

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.799
I have never launched Angry Birds on the can so fast in my life the doubleclick

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:50.840
camera launch too is among the fastest I've ever seen and on that subject

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:54.159
rightfully OnePlus is really proud of

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:56.400
their first ever dual camera solution in

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.840
general dual cameras can be used to capture sharper images or more data like

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:07.239
if they had separate sensors for black and white and color but OnePlus is going

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:13.239
after a shallow depth of field effect for portraits and this one made more of

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:16.519
a difference to me a built-in 2x optical

00:04:13.239 --> 00:04:20.199
zoom overall I would never know that

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.479
this was a first attempt at anything the

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.759
16 megapixel selfie camera is pretty

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

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:35.280
it was a little wider for group shop shots but I really loved using the

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:39.680
five's rear cameras and unlike some other devices I've reviewed in the past

00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:44.639
I didn't feel for a moment like switching to it during my review period

00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:49.039
was causing me to miss out on properly capturing Precious Moments with my

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:54.680
family the only reason that I personally even care about having a highquality

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:57.560
cell phone camera and all the manual

00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:03.560
dials and switches including raw capture are there for the photography nerds in

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:05.639
the native app too video recording is a

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:12.199
bit more of a mixed bag for me the capture modes are limited compared to

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:15.039
other flagships so no 240 FPS slow-mo

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:22.240
there's no Optical image stabilization so 4K video isn't stabilized and 1080p

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:24.039
video has this weird FPS character

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

00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:34.160
way to disable it and from a usability standpoint

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:37.199
I hate being forced to switch to video

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:39.240
mode when I open the app before pressing

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.960
the record button rather than just having both buttons ready for me on

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:52.240
screen okay so Linus it sounds pretty good but there's no modular upgrades

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.759
taller aspect ratio screen retina

00:05:52.240 --> 00:06:01.280
scanner waterproof housing stereo speakers pressure sensitive display or

00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:05.720
any other new stand out feature why is

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:08.240
this thing more expensive again well as

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:13.479
I alluded to before OnePlus has grown as a company solving some of their initial

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:17.759
problems like their Reliance on third party software and their limited product

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:21.800
availability though their customer service could probably still use some

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:27.000
work and they've incurred the costs that go along with this development so

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:32.240
instead of coming in at less than half the price of a competing flagship

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:38.520
they're now closer to 70% compared to the latest iPhone what

00:06:35.599 --> 00:06:47.000
that means is that the OnePlus 5 might not be the clear and obvious Flagship

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:49.520
killer choice for Budget consumers but

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:56.560
we're also giving up less than ever before which makes it a great choice for

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:59.919
a broader range of Android smartphone

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.280
buyers how does dbrand do it every time

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

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:12.440
features high quality authentic true textured 3M vinyl and is cut with the

00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:16.440
utmost of precision if you think it looks great and you want one just like

00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:20.120
it for your laptop phone tablet console controller or more check out the link in

00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:23.840
the video description and if you don't think it looks great check out the link

00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:29.120
anyway because their configurator allows you to skin your device exactly the way
