seemingly out of sheer determination to have me travel as much as possible to
0:05
get my hands on the new one plus six oneplus has sponsored my trip all the
0:10
way to london england and this launch is actually really
0:14
special for me because while i've never seen a mass production unit before i've
0:18
already been behind the scenes for a look at the very impressive development
0:23
and manufacturing process so i'm really
0:26
excited to see just how it's turned out
0:38
there's a limit to how much i can tell you guys today pesky embargoes right so
0:42
i'm gonna work my way through the most burning questions first starting with
0:46
the price oneplus has been increasing their msrp
0:50
generation by generation citing increased development costs and product
0:54
complexity and it looks like the six gigs of RAM 64 gig rom model is gonna be
1:00
about 30 us dollars more expensive than the oneplus 5t that it replaces
1:06
now the good news is that still 200 less
1:09
than a galaxy s9 or 300 less than an s9
1:13
plus and you're getting some pretty nice upgrades starting with the display
1:18
so it's 6.28 inches diagonally with a
1:22
super tall 19 by 9 aspect ratio and like
1:26
the oneplus 5 and oneplus 5t before it
1:29
it uses an amoled panel for perfect blacks and dci p3 color space support
1:36
it's got rounded corners and it's got the highly controversial
1:42
notch in the top but honestly i'm not even mad anymore
1:46
now that i've heard that oneplus is planning to allow users to disable the
1:51
notch outright if they don't want an ugly cutout in their ultra wide videos
1:56
like the ridiculous situation on the iphone 10.
2:00
what's not ridiculous about this phone is how few dongles i'll be carrying so
2:05
it still drives me nuts that razer went out and released a gaming phone that
2:09
requires a dongle for wired headphones not so here you can charge the 3 300
2:14
milliamp hour battery and listen to music or play games on the bus to your
2:19
heart's content now under the hood
2:23
we're getting a snapdragon 845 processor
2:26
six or eight gigs of low power ddr4x RAM
2:30
and anywhere from 64 gigs to 256 gigs of
2:34
internal storage in a variety of colors i think this is actually the most launch
2:39
skus that we have ever seen from oneplus
2:43
and the material is the most exotic that we've seen from them as well basically
2:48
every surface of this phone front and
2:51
back is made of corning gorilla glass 5
2:54
and i know what you guys are thinking but i've actually seen these phones go
2:59
through shocking like literally shock testing shocking durability tests and
3:05
survive including up to a two meter fall
3:08
on one of the prototypes in the lab so i've got no concerns about the
3:12
durability of this approach and it makes for a very striking looking and smooth
3:17
curvy feeling phone and i really like the way it sits in my hand especially
3:21
the matte version which is still made of glass but it's got a special surface
3:25
treatment on it that makes it a little bit less slippery another thing that's
3:28
pretty stunning about it is how much bigger the screen has gotten compared to
3:32
the oneplus 5 from just a year ago at nearly the same size for the frame and a
3:37
similar weight another thing oneplus has added is
3:40
gesture control if you're into the complete full screen experience
3:44
so it's drag up for home
3:48
then drag up and hold for multitask
3:51
and if you're already in an app like say for example a web browser you just drag
3:56
up from the bottom to go back shoop
4:00
and it works on both the right and left side
4:04
now i can't unfortunately show you any test shots but i have been enjoying
4:08
playing around with the camera oneplus has doubled down on their f 1.7 16
4:13
megapixel primary and 20 megapixel secondary shooter approach but they've
4:18
thrown a couple of new tricks into the mix here including a larger primary
4:22
sensor so this is intended to help with low light performance and then they've
4:26
also got an ai assisted portrait mode that is going to be coming a little bit
4:31
after launch so it's hard to say at this
4:34
time what if anything has changed about the selfie camera but their lightning
4:40
fast face unlock which does depend on the selfie camera is back
4:45
so thanks for watching guys thanks to oneplus for sponsoring me out here for a
4:48
