00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.080
so here i am at the oneplus event in new york city and

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:09.519
why do i feel like i was just here

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.160
oh right because i was

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.520
anyway oneplus just unveiled their latest

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.760
flagship the oneplus 5t and they sponsored us to come here to be among

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:32.909
the select group of people who will be hands on with it first

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.920
now there are a handful of major changes with the 5t let's do the big deal stuff

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:47.039
first this is the first device ever from

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:53.280
oneplus to deviate from the traditional 16x9 aspect ratio and also the first to

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:59.199
feature an immersive display with super narrow bezels and it's amoled which is

00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:04.320
yet again this is becoming a theme here a first for oneplus

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:08.000
it's 2160 by 1080 for better battery life compared to higher resolution

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:13.119
options and it comes with the usual benefits of OLED like a near infinite

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.799
contrast ratio and power savings on darker backgrounds

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:22.880
though it also comes with the usual drawbacks so i'll be watching for any

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.119
early reports of burn-in on this display

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.759
i'm really digging the body design here it's super clean with the antenna lines

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.880
well disguised and you can get it in any color you want as long as it's black

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:39.360
and while the finish is a little bit slippery in the hand it's nothing that a

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:44.159
vinyl skin couldn't fix and the shape and aspect ratio make it pretty

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.200
handleable considering that it is a 6 inch display

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:50.720
i like the way that they've also squeezed together the nav buttons at the

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.680
bottom so it's a little bit easier to reach across with one hand if you don't

00:01:53.439 --> 00:02:01.200
have gigantic digits now i'm not generally a huge fan of rear

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.439
fingerprint scanners but oneplus figures they've gotten around this with their

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:09.920
high speed face unlock it does seem to work pretty well so far

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:16.000
but i will need to spend more time with it the rear camera also got some

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:18.879
interesting upgrades 4k 30fps video is

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.120
electronically stabilized now but probably more importantly i've been

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:28.560
saying for a while now about both the note 8 and the iphone 8 plus that the

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:33.680
telephoto lens on the second rear camera doesn't achieve much more sharpness than

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.440
digitally zooming the usually sharper main shooter

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:44.080
well apparently oneplus agrees because their dual 16 and 20 megapixel camera

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:46.319
system uses two lenses with the same

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.920
focal length to achieve depth sensing for their portrait mode and their second

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.319
one is actually tuned for better low light performance with a 4 1 pixel

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.640
mapping scheme that they're calling intelligent pixel technology

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:04.720
requires more testing as with everything we're seeing today but it's very

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.519
interesting and finally true to the oneplus tradition the specs are top

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.760
drawer especially considering the aggressive pricing

00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:19.959
every 5t will get a snapdragon 835 processor then there's six gigs of RAM

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:23.360
on the 64 gig model and eight gigs of lp

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:26.239
ddr4x memory on the 128 gig model and

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:32.720
that's accompanied by an adreno 540 GPU dual sim slots fast type c charging a

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.560
3300 milliamp hour battery and

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.799
yes my friends you can't really see it because it's dark in here but that is a headphone

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:43.280
jack and they're doing this without making a

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.319
ton of compromises that i feel are likely to affect their average user off

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.519
the top of my head you are giving up wireless charging but you're getting a

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.560
superbly crafted blasted metal body that should be harder to break than a

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.200
glass-backed one and you're giving up a dedicated button

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:05.439
or a squeeze for bixby or google assistant but you're getting oneplus's

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:08.159
trademark three position notification slider

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:11.360
so i'll be spending the next couple of weeks with the 5t

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.840
hopefully i'm taking one away from the unveiling here with me today and i'll be

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:20.160
looking deeper at the 16 megapixel selfie camera as well as some of the

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:24.479
software tweaks that oneplus has built based on their community feedback

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.600
program like parallel apps so let me know in the comments if you have any

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.720
questions about it that you would like to see addressed in my review the 5t

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.400
will be available on november 21st so thanks for watching and thanks again to

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.240
oneplus for bringing me out here to see their latest and greatest
