WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560
- You know what's really funny? - [David] Ultra stops. Ultra stops at nothing. - [David] Ultra stops.

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.730
- Ultra stopped (laughs). Today, we look at the latest and greatest from OnePlus.

00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:10.860
It's not actually the greatest per se because the Pro still exists,

00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:15.350
but it is, at least, the latest. All over the box is ultra.

00:00:15.350 --> 00:00:19.300
And we have no idea why. So this is actually the reviewers' packaging.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.530
It's not quite what you would get if you were to purchase this phone yourself.

00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:26.460
I don't know if they were trying to take a jab at Samsung, maybe.

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:32.600
There's nothing else about this phone that they advertise as ultra. It's not the OnePlus 8T Ultra.

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.350
It's just the OnePlus 8T. Now this is pretty fancy packaging.

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:40.065
It's like soft-touch everything, feels so nice.

00:00:40.065 --> 00:00:43.393
(laughs) Full disclosure. I did actually open this before.

00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:47.743
Ooh, reviewer's guide.

00:00:48.972 --> 00:00:52.010
Good think there's a knife right here. - [David] You're not allowed to use the knife, Jake.

00:00:52.010 --> 00:00:57.083
- [Jono] No knives. - [David] You have to use a pen. A pen? What are the odds, I can open this with a light bulb?

00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:02.110
Ah, I did it! - Ah, that works! - [Jake] Yes. Inside the phone.

00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:05.700
This is the OnePlus 8T. - [David] No, it's a book. - No, this is a book.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:10.490
I guess these are the important things about this phone. A, 120 hertz screen.

00:01:10.490 --> 00:01:13.610
B, warp charge 65. Video done.

00:01:13.610 --> 00:01:19.253
Oh man, this is just like, mm. OnePlus is really happy with themselves.

00:01:19.253 --> 00:01:22.500
♪ Cha ♪ Okay, so again, this is the reviewers' packaging.

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:26.450
So we do have a few things that you will not receive unless you, I guess, you buy it separately.

00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:30.200
They got their fancy warp-charge specific case.

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.230
Here, we have the sandstone bumper case in cyan.

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:37.503
Ooh, it's actually, it feels nice. Let's get to the phone.

00:01:37.503 --> 00:01:43.285
That's what you people are here for, anyways. (groans) Wow, that's a big box for a smartphone.

00:01:43.285 --> 00:01:46.422
It's almost like a watch box.

00:01:46.422 --> 00:01:50.050
(box thuds) ♪ Ah ♪

00:01:50.050 --> 00:01:54.477
♪ Come on, slide faster ♪ (sighs) Oh, god dammit.

00:01:54.477 --> 00:01:57.810
(assistants laugh) More propaganda. Dang it, OnePlus.

00:01:57.810 --> 00:02:01.766
Got a quick-start guide. What is this? - [David] SIM card removal tool.

00:02:01.766 --> 00:02:05.460
- But what is under here? The OnePlus 8T is more than a phone. It's a challenge.

00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:08.870
I think we'll leave it at that. I don't know what this is. What's that SAR value?

00:02:08.870 --> 00:02:12.680
Apparently the SAR values are only collected by the FCC

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.720
to make sure that cell phones do not exceed the FCC's maximum permissible exposure levels.

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:22.050
So it's a highest SAR value? Safety information. There is nothing in here we need.

00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:26.053
Ooh, we got some stickers. Oh, yay. And here is the phone.

00:02:27.075 --> 00:02:30.370
♪ Ah ♪ Wow. Okay.

00:02:30.370 --> 00:02:33.730
So there's definitely some differences here, right off the bat. We'll get into those in a sec.

00:02:33.730 --> 00:02:36.920
What else is in the box here? You got the typical OnePlus cable.

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:42.330
So this is actually a special cable, sort of. It's got to support what is in this box down here,

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:47.010
the warp charge 65 brick. And this is really the important part of the OnePlus 8T,

00:02:47.010 --> 00:02:51.480
at least according to OnePlus. This charger supposedly can charge the OnePlus 8T

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:57.540
to 58% in just 15 minutes. And 100% in 39 minutes.

00:02:57.540 --> 00:03:01.970
If you really hate your battery, would not recommend using this all the time.

00:03:01.970 --> 00:03:06.410
10 volts at 6.5 amps, that's their 65-watt warp charging.

00:03:06.410 --> 00:03:10.670
That's a lot of both. (laughs) I would be concerned that this phone would get pretty,

00:03:10.670 --> 00:03:13.243
pretty freaking hot. Maybe we'll plug it in to see.

00:03:14.779 --> 00:03:19.440
OnePlus. But before we get into the phone, I need to tell you about our sponsor, Manscaped.

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:24.640
Manscaped is a brand dedicated to below-the-waist grooming and hygiene that's safe, simple, and effective.

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:28.050
That means you can only expect the best from their products made from the best materials

00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:32.680
to give you the best grooming experience possible. And guess what? Their products aren't just for men.

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.770
Their Lawnmower 3.0 body trimmer's the perfect gift for a girlfriend or wife in your life.

00:03:36.770 --> 00:03:41.340
Go to a manscaped.com/circuit for 20% off and free international shipping on your order.

00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:45.730
So right off the bat, of course, the 120 hertz, buttery smooth.

00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:49.410
It's like its predecessor, the OnePlus 8. This is still a 6.5-inch OLED.

00:03:49.410 --> 00:03:52.970
We actually have a little bit lower screen-to-body ratio. I think, 'cause the side bezels

00:03:52.970 --> 00:03:56.500
are a little bit more pronounced. We have less of a top bezel this time.

00:03:56.500 --> 00:04:00.860
It feels more balanced. It looks like it's framed nicely because of the bezels.

00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:04.260
And we still have that same pinhole camera. For the 8T in either color.

00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:07.431
This is their aquamarine green. There's also lunar silver

00:04:07.431 --> 00:04:11.860
with 12 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage. You're looking at 749 U.S.

00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:14.900
That's pretty pricey for a phone. Like this is, ah, but is it?

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:18.230
I guess maybe not. David, like what's a? - [Jono] I think standards these days are like.

00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:22.630
That's pretty cheap, actually. For a flagship phone, I think, you're spending a thousand bucks, usually.

00:04:22.630 --> 00:04:27.200
So I guess it is under that. On the outside, aside from the screen, having slightly different bezel layout,

00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:31.610
it's mostly the same on the front. We have the same buttons on the side. You've got the mute switch.

00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:37.640
You got your same power button and volume on the other side. The only big change we're going to see here is the cameras.

00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:40.800
Now on previous OnePlus phones, you'd see the cameras sort of in the middle,

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.120
which it's kind of a dated look, but finally they've switched over

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.760
to a more modern status quo, left-justified camera.

00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:51.440
There is some changes to the camera this time. We actually have laser auto focus.

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:55.610
As for the sensors in the camera, we're still using the same Sony 48-mega pixel main shooter.

00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:59.670
We have a 16-megapixel ultra wide, that's actually a few degrees wider, which is nice.

00:04:59.670 --> 00:05:04.790
For the macro lens, we've gone from two megapixels to five, and they've actually included a monochrome sensor,

00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:08.590
which I think is just OnePlus's nomenclature for depth sensor.

00:05:08.590 --> 00:05:12.240
In terms of feel, this phone like feels really nice in the hand.

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.823
It's weighted beautifully, maybe a little bit top bias, which is fine.

00:05:19.246 --> 00:05:24.380
Sh, nobody saw that. (laughs) One thing I didn't mention actually is the front camera.

00:05:24.380 --> 00:05:29.370
Ah. (shutter clicking)

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:36.500
Hey, David, smile. We get our macro, and then ultra wide.

00:05:37.133 --> 00:05:40.830
I find that ultra wide camera's always look so weird.

00:05:40.830 --> 00:05:44.790
Yeah, the distortion fixing is never that great.

00:05:44.790 --> 00:05:48.160
Okay. Let's move on. Back to the internals of the phone, this time,

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.760
we have the same Snapdragon 865 processor, the same RAM layout.

00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:55.650
You can either get 8 or 12 gigs. For storage, depending on region availability,

00:05:55.650 --> 00:06:00.240
you're looking at 128 or 256, although this time it's UFS 3.1 rather than 3.0,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.810
so maybe that'd be a little bit faster. We of course have the warp charge 65

00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:06.870
that I mentioned earlier, and there's some changes to the battery

00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:10.780
to accommodate that sort of charging. So rather than a traditional single cell battery,

00:06:10.780 --> 00:06:14.490
like you'd see in most smartphones, this one actually has two discrete cells,

00:06:14.490 --> 00:06:20.270
and supposedly they can each handle 30 watts of charging at the same time, which is pretty impressive.

00:06:20.270 --> 00:06:24.705
Now to keep this thing from blowing up, unlike the Note 7, (coughs) Samsung,

00:06:24.705 --> 00:06:29.270
maybe that's a dead meme at this point, we should probably stop beating that corpse. (laughs)

00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:33.000
They've actually integrated 12 discrete temperature sensors throughout the phone.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.830
I don't know how many temperature sensors a usual phone has. I'm guessing that's probably at least a couple.

00:06:37.830 --> 00:06:42.480
So maybe they've added a few more, but they say it should be good.

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.520
And with the new heat dissipation system that they've integrated,

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:49.570
supposedly it should stay cool even while you're using it and charging with warp charge 65.

00:06:49.570 --> 00:06:53.460
So I think I should actually plug it in and try that. ♪ Ah, cha ♪

00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:56.859
Hey at 69%, what? - [Jono] Nice, nice.

00:06:56.859 --> 00:07:00.742
- Oh, damn it. It's 70 already. Wow. That's fast. (laughs)

00:07:00.742 --> 00:07:05.020
I wonder if we can watch this go up again? (video scrubbing)

00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:08.063
Ah, 71! Wow, look at that! That's so crazy.

00:07:08.063 --> 00:07:12.060
This battery will not last very long if you keep using this. (laughs)

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.953
Let's try the fingerprint sensor here.

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:16.500
Oh, that's pretty quick.

00:07:18.730 --> 00:07:21.463
- It's really hard. - It's so similar.

00:07:22.429 --> 00:07:25.440
I'm going to say maybe the OnePlus one a little bit,

00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:29.289
but when you're getting this fast anyways, like it doesn't even matter.

00:07:29.289 --> 00:07:34.930
- [Jono] At a fraction of the cost. - Yeah, a fraction of the cost. It's like probably 40% cheaper than that phone.

00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:40.890
Now there's one thing I wanted to check inside the settings here. Ah-ha, this is the first OnePlus phone

00:07:40.890 --> 00:07:45.180
to have an always-on ambient display. This is pretty slow to the party. (laughs)

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:49.750
This feature will be disabled below 5%. Okay. I locked the phone.

00:07:49.750 --> 00:07:53.890
Look at that. One thing we didn't mention is like other OnePlus phones,

00:07:53.890 --> 00:07:57.520
same with the OnePlus 8 and the OnePlus 8 Pro, there's no expandable storage,

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:01.580
but I think if you're getting the 256, that's probably plenty for most people.

00:08:01.580 --> 00:08:04.950
If you're a power user, you're probably going for a more expensive phone anyways.

00:08:04.950 --> 00:08:08.180
So I guess leave that up to you guys. We're going to plug the phone back in

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:13.570
just to see if it actually gets hot. 'Cause we wanted to try that. We've got our warp charge going, 76%.

00:08:13.570 --> 00:08:18.170
For speakers, it looks like we do have an earpiece speaker here. Hopefully that works as stereo.

00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:23.165
And then on the bottom, it's not front facing, but it's downward firing, and hopefully they work together.

00:08:23.165 --> 00:08:26.842
- [Linus] And the brand new Xbox Series X. Yes, my friends.

00:08:26.842 --> 00:08:31.550
- Yep. Okay, so it's definitely using both speakers for stereo audio.

00:08:31.550 --> 00:08:36.240
Sounds kind of tangy. I mean we are listening to Linus's voice, so...

00:08:37.357 --> 00:08:39.940
(upbeat music)

00:08:50.804 --> 00:08:54.350
Mm. Ah, it's hard to say. For the price difference here,

00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:58.210
I think they're both pretty good (laughs). You're not going to be stressing

00:08:58.210 --> 00:09:03.790
about the speakers on this phone. They're pretty good. So we've been warped charging for five minutes,

00:09:03.790 --> 00:09:07.030
probably, at least, now. It doesn't even feel warm at all.

00:09:07.030 --> 00:09:10.830
If you told me this was charging, like you handed me two phones, and one was charging and one was not,

00:09:10.830 --> 00:09:13.940
and told me to pick which one it was, I probably wouldn't be able to tell you.

00:09:13.940 --> 00:09:17.660
I bet you if I plugged the Note 20 Ultra in right now, it would get hot, like immediately.

00:09:17.660 --> 00:09:21.580
Okay. Let's leave it for a minute, two, a minute or two here and see what happens.

00:09:23.150 --> 00:09:26.657
We'll have to for a few more minutes. It's now at 88%.

00:09:26.657 --> 00:09:30.710
It's like ice cold, dude. If I told you this phone was charging at 65 watts,

00:09:30.710 --> 00:09:34.386
would you believe me? - No, it's not charging. It's off. - It's literally (laughs).

00:09:34.386 --> 00:09:37.825
- [David] It just feels like it's doing its thing. - It's not doing anything. What do you mean?

00:09:37.825 --> 00:09:41.100
It's like cold. Like it's actually- - [David] It's not cold, but it's-

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:45.205
- I mean, the ambient temperature in here is like 18 degrees or whatever, it.

00:09:45.205 --> 00:09:48.840
- [Jono] Your hand will probably warm it up faster. - Well, that's why I tried to leave it for a bit.

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.840
Is it starting to feel warm? And I was pretty sure it was my hand.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.630
That's crazy. So I guess if charging, while staying completely ambient temperature

00:09:57.630 --> 00:10:01.803
is on your list of things for a phone, maybe the OnePlus 8T is for you.

00:10:01.803 --> 00:10:05.370
You're probably gonna want to wait for the next generation.

00:10:05.370 --> 00:10:09.180
I always feel like the T series devices from OnePlus are kind of a tease.

00:10:09.180 --> 00:10:13.870
You never get the same software support as the previous gen. Like they're going to treat this like a OnePlus 8

00:10:13.870 --> 00:10:19.110
in terms of updates, probably. It's nice. The screen feels good. It's fast.

00:10:19.110 --> 00:10:22.980
So I guess if you like the latest and greatest from OnePlus, this could be the phone for you.

00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:27.000
Can I throw it now? - [Jono] Yep. Go long!

00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.216
- Catch it, Jono. - [Jono] No. - (laughs) No?

00:10:30.216 --> 00:10:31.957
- [Jono] You can just like (screams).

00:10:33.710 --> 00:10:36.293
- There's a bed over there. (laughs)
