1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:08,400
you know it seems like everyone and their dog is into throwing big product

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,679
announcement events these days and today it's one pluses turn in new york city

3
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:16,880
and they sponsored my trip out there to check it out

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,400
ah thanks guys but

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,960
you might have noticed that instead of this video being thrown together

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,439
slapdash on the show floor i am at home in canada

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,399
with my very own oneplus 6t to unbox and show

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,000
off that's because oneplus had the good sense to mail me one early so i could

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:40,800
take my time thank you smart people over there so i'm

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:49,319
gonna grab a coffee and then uh have a look at what's new with the oneplus 6t

11
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:57,520
one of the first things you'll notice about the 6t is that the matte glass

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,840
back has no fingerprint sensor just a oneplus

13
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,560
logo under the two lenses that house the same hardware as last time around with

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:14,320
some software tweaks that is because the 6t has one of the most hotly anticipated

15
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,520
features of the year an under screen

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,560
fingerprint sensor it's really cool it's

17
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,840
fast the little animation makes it feel

18
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,400
kind of futuristic and i know i don't

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,720
speak for everyone but i've always preferred fingerprint scanners on the

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,040
front of the device versus the back because i like being able to use them

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,799
even when they're resting on the table and this implementation lets you do

22
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,600
just that and that's without having a

23
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:49,280
thick hardware button equipped chin bar below the screen oneplus also told me

24
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:54,479
that my preview of their oxygen os doesn't have it yet but if you continue

25
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,640
to hold down the scanner after the phone has been unlocked they're adding a

26
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,320
customizable app shortcut bar that will pop up

27
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:07,360
nice so the under screen reader is pretty sweet and closely related to the

28
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,520
next head turning aspect of the 6t the notch

29
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:15,280
or the not ch that's terrible but it's justified

30
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:20,319
because it's been considerably shrunk down since last year increasing the

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:25,280
screen to body ratio more than 2 and also making oneplus approach among

32
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,040
the least obtrusive designs that i've seen

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,519
despite still packing in the front camera and the three-in-one ambient

34
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,160
light color temperature and distance sensor making matters even better in

35
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:43,440
typical oneplus fashion you do still have the option of turning off the

36
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:47,519
amoled pixels beside the notch and just pretending that it isn't there

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:52,560
though i mean by now so much of the notification bar

38
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:58,239
is preserved that i actually can't say that i recommend doing that anymore

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,720
now i would still prefer some kind of

40
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,640
magic camera under the screen or something like that maybe that'll come

41
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,840
in the future but for the time being this approach makes way more sense to me

42
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:15,360
than the completely panoramic designs that exist now like oppo's find x or

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,120
vivo's nexus they're really slick but

44
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,400
the mechanical action that they rely on to function smoothly in the long term is

45
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,560
still unproven at best especially after the device has been you know dropped a

46
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,920
few times which well

47
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,799
you know speaking of dropping stuff also new with

48
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:41,200
the 6t is corning's next generation gorilla glass 6. now gorilla glass 5 was

49
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:45,760
designed to withstand one big sumo grade drop from selfie height and we actually

50
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:51,120
saw oneplus internal validation of these claims at their factory earlier this

51
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,519
year but the new glass is meant to do that

52
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,799
plus withstand multiple smaller drops

53
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,599
surviving up to 15 drops from a height

54
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,040
of one meter in corning zone testing not that everyone wants to take the risk so

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,200
fortunately there's a couple more safety accessories in the box and i have to say

56
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:12,319
it's a pretty nice unboxing experience overall

57
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:16,639
the phone has a screen protector pre-applied and there's a transparent

58
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,880
condom type case then there's two items you won't even

59
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:28,520
find in the box of a fifteen hundred dollar iphone 10s max a fast charging

60
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,520
capable wall charger and

61
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:35,360
a usbc to three and a half millimeter audio dongle

62
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,759
honestly i'm not angry i'm just

63
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,600
well i'm just disappointed is all you were supposed to be the chosen one the

64
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,680
phone for Android enthusiasts who don't have a thousand bucks to spend on a

65
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:51,199
pixel 3 xl first we had that little incident with the wireless headphones

66
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:57,759
and then found these in your dresser drawer you're making usb-c headphones now on

67
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:04,080
the software side the 6t has the new oxygen os 9 based on Android pi and as

68
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:08,400
always it is one of the best oem Android implementations only deviating from

69
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:12,080
stock Android to give you meaningful customizations i'm a really big fan of

70
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:17,039
their quick launch gestures like the three-finger screenshot

71
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:20,000
oh yeah let's do that one whoop

72
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:24,479
look at that or drawing an o to launch the camera or an m to launch maps or

73
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,840
whatever app it is that you set up and what's really cool is that they make

74
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:32,560
even more sense now because once you're

75
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:36,080
eventually asked to unlock the device boom your fingerprint sensor is right

76
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,800
there you don't even have to reposition your hand to hit it nice bonus so

77
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:45,440
overall 6t is looking like a really nice upgrade especially considering the price

78
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,960
there's still no formal ip water resistance rating which i would have

79
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,960
liked to see but we get a 500 milliamp

80
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,919
hour battery capacity upgrade which thanks to oxygen os's efficiency should

81
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:03,199
be a huge boost in actual usability we get a slightly larger 6.4 inch display

82
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:09,600
increasing the pixel count ever so slightly and taking the aspect ratio

83
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:12,800
from 19 by nine to 19.5 by nine and we

84
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,680
get six gigs of RAM with 128 gigs of

85
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:21,199
storage on the base model now up from 64 gigs last time around and all of that is

86
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,360
for an extra 20 us dollars then on the

87
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,600
high-end model the RAM and storage stay the same but for the first time oneplus

88
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,720
isn't shifting their pricing up with the new generation so as long as you're

89
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:35,919
willing to bid farewell to your collection of wired headphones there's

90
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:37,440
not much here to not like

91
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:41,440
so thanks to oneplus for sponsoring this video thanks to you guys for watching if
