00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:08.400
you know it seems like everyone and their dog is into throwing big product

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.679
announcement events these days and today it's one pluses turn in new york city

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.880
and they sponsored my trip out there to check it out

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:20.400
ah thanks guys but

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.960
you might have noticed that instead of this video being thrown together

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.439
slapdash on the show floor i am at home in canada

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:32.399
with my very own oneplus 6t to unbox and show

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

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.800
take my time thank you smart people over there so i'm

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

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:57.520
one of the first things you'll notice about the 6t is that the matte glass

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.840
back has no fingerprint sensor just a oneplus

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:08.560
logo under the two lenses that house the same hardware as last time around with

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:14.320
some software tweaks that is because the 6t has one of the most hotly anticipated

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.520
features of the year an under screen

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:20.560
fingerprint sensor it's really cool it's

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:23.840
fast the little animation makes it feel

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.400
kind of futuristic and i know i don't

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.720
speak for everyone but i've always preferred fingerprint scanners on the

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.040
front of the device versus the back because i like being able to use them

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.799
even when they're resting on the table and this implementation lets you do

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:43.600
just that and that's without having a

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:49.280
thick hardware button equipped chin bar below the screen oneplus also told me

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:54.479
that my preview of their oxygen os doesn't have it yet but if you continue

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.640
to hold down the scanner after the phone has been unlocked they're adding a

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:02.320
customizable app shortcut bar that will pop up

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:07.360
nice so the under screen reader is pretty sweet and closely related to the

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:11.520
next head turning aspect of the 6t the notch

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.280
or the not ch that's terrible but it's justified

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:20.319
because it's been considerably shrunk down since last year increasing the

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:25.280
screen to body ratio more than 2 and also making oneplus approach among

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.040
the least obtrusive designs that i've seen

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:33.519
despite still packing in the front camera and the three-in-one ambient

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:38.160
light color temperature and distance sensor making matters even better in

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:43.440
typical oneplus fashion you do still have the option of turning off the

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:47.519
amoled pixels beside the notch and just pretending that it isn't there

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:52.560
though i mean by now so much of the notification bar

00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:58.239
is preserved that i actually can't say that i recommend doing that anymore

00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:00.720
now i would still prefer some kind of

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.640
magic camera under the screen or something like that maybe that'll come

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:09.840
in the future but for the time being this approach makes way more sense to me

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:15.360
than the completely panoramic designs that exist now like oppo's find x or

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:17.120
vivo's nexus they're really slick but

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:22.400
the mechanical action that they rely on to function smoothly in the long term is

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.560
still unproven at best especially after the device has been you know dropped a

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.920
few times which well

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.799
you know speaking of dropping stuff also new with

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:41.200
the 6t is corning's next generation gorilla glass 6. now gorilla glass 5 was

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.760
designed to withstand one big sumo grade drop from selfie height and we actually

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:51.120
saw oneplus internal validation of these claims at their factory earlier this

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:55.519
year but the new glass is meant to do that

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:58.799
plus withstand multiple smaller drops

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:01.599
surviving up to 15 drops from a height

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.040
of one meter in corning zone testing not that everyone wants to take the risk so

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.200
fortunately there's a couple more safety accessories in the box and i have to say

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.319
it's a pretty nice unboxing experience overall

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:16.639
the phone has a screen protector pre-applied and there's a transparent

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.880
condom type case then there's two items you won't even

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:28.520
find in the box of a fifteen hundred dollar iphone 10s max a fast charging

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:28.520
capable wall charger and

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:35.360
a usbc to three and a half millimeter audio dongle

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.759
honestly i'm not angry i'm just

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.600
well i'm just disappointed is all you were supposed to be the chosen one the

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:47.680
phone for Android enthusiasts who don't have a thousand bucks to spend on a

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:51.199
pixel 3 xl first we had that little incident with the wireless headphones

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:57.759
and then found these in your dresser drawer you're making usb-c headphones now on

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

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:08.400
always it is one of the best oem Android implementations only deviating from

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:12.080
stock Android to give you meaningful customizations i'm a really big fan of

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:17.039
their quick launch gestures like the three-finger screenshot

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:20.000
oh yeah let's do that one whoop

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

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

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:32.560
even more sense now because once you're

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:36.080
eventually asked to unlock the device boom your fingerprint sensor is right

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:40.800
there you don't even have to reposition your hand to hit it nice bonus so

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:45.440
overall 6t is looking like a really nice upgrade especially considering the price

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:50.960
there's still no formal ip water resistance rating which i would have

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:52.960
liked to see but we get a 500 milliamp

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.919
hour battery capacity upgrade which thanks to oxygen os's efficiency should

00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:03.199
be a huge boost in actual usability we get a slightly larger 6.4 inch display

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:09.600
increasing the pixel count ever so slightly and taking the aspect ratio

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:12.800
from 19 by nine to 19.5 by nine and we

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.680
get six gigs of RAM with 128 gigs of

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

00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:23.360
for an extra 20 us dollars then on the

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.600
high-end model the RAM and storage stay the same but for the first time oneplus

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.720
isn't shifting their pricing up with the new generation so as long as you're

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:35.919
willing to bid farewell to your collection of wired headphones there's

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.440
not much here to not like

00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:41.440
so thanks to oneplus for sponsoring this video thanks to you guys for watching if
