**A Day in Beachside New York: Exploring the Charm of Montauk**

As I stepped out of my hotel room in Montauk, New York, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and adventure. The town, nestled on the eastern tip of Long Island, has been experiencing a resurgence in popularity over the past few years, attracting visitors from all over the world who are drawn to its natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere.

I had heard that the town's restaurants and hotels were closing up shop during the winter months, but it seemed that this was no longer the case. In fact, according to hotel owners, there has been a significant increase in visitors coming to Montauk during the off-season, seeking refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life.

As I set out to explore the town, I couldn't help but notice the changes that were taking place. New restaurants and shops had opened up, offering a range of cuisines and goods that catered to the growing tourism industry. The streets were bustling with activity, as people enjoyed the beautiful scenery and relaxed atmosphere.

I decided to head out to check out the beach, which was just a short walk from my hotel. As I arrived at the shore, I was greeted by the sound of waves crashing against the rocks and the cries of seagulls overhead. The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden glow over the scene.

But before I could fully enjoy the view, a storm cloud rolled in, bringing with it a sudden downpour. I quickly pulled out my camera phone to capture some shots of the rain, as well as the stunning sunset that was still visible through the clouds.

Speaking of which, let's take a look at the camera on this phone. OnePlus calls it a quad-camera setup, but I'm not entirely convinced by the term. While we do have a wide-angle lens and a main sensor, there are also two separate cameras - including a macro lens and a monochrome sensor - that seem to be dedicated to capturing specific types of images.

I was told that the monochrome sensor is used to capture more light, but I'm not entirely convinced by this explanation. In my opinion, it seems like a unnecessary addition, especially when compared to other manufacturers who have found alternative ways to achieve similar results.

In any case, let's move on from the camera and focus on the food - because what's a trip to Montauk without trying some of the local cuisine? I headed out to check out one of the town's restaurants, which offered a range of options that catered to all tastes.

I ended up ordering a delicious chicken shawarma pita with veggies and white sauce, which was absolutely on point. But before I could enjoy my meal, I realized that I had forgotten to check in on the battery life.

Let's take a look at some stats: screen on time is 8 hours and 21 minutes, while usage has been around 3 hours and 45 minutes. Overall, I'd say it's a decent performance, especially considering that this phone is competing with some of the biggest names in the industry - including Google Pixel.

As for my own thoughts on the video, I'll have to leave it up to you guys. What did you think? Was the camera as impressive as I make out? Do share your thoughts in the comments below!

normal day my sim card is in this phone i'm using all my normal stuff that i always would um and we're gonna check in on the battery and see how it's doing throughout that day and also take some photos on it and some of its competitors and put them up on the screen so you guys can kind of see how it does but first things first i gotta catch a boat wall street okay one boat down one to go in case you remember where we're going today i started out in williamsburg which is where i live in brooklyn uh took a ferry to wall street which is in manhattan and now we're taking another ferry all the way out to like a little peninsula basically in queens kind of at the end of well at the end of queens called rockaway so okay after about a two hour ferry ride we've made it to rockaway which is kind of like this little beachy town at the very edge of new york city limits i had to walk for 20 minutes but i found it i mean you knew it was coming coffee check now real quick let's talk about the design of the phone for a sec so first up we're going to talk about this color i really like it um it has this almost like layered effect to it and oneplus said that they did this to try to minimize fingerprints which it actually does do a good job of doing but regardless it's just pretty it also has a super bright screen which i can see just fine even in this bright daylight which is nice and that screen is also slightly curved but when i say slightly i mean slightly it's just enough to kind of make it have an edge to edge display but not enough to where you would accidentally tap anything on the screen like you do with some other phones that have a really curved display okay before we leave here let's check in the battery like we do because we haven't done that yet today it is 1 28 p.m we are at 67 percent is okay made it to the hotel this is the rockaway hotel and it opened about three weeks ago hotel is like this really nice modern feel that i'm a big fan of but like with lighter tones so you still feel like you're kind of like in a beachy vibe but it has like a nice pool with drinks and little cabanas and stuff and even a rooftop which we might have to check out later for the sunset possibly as well as a new restaurant that they're opening on the ground for called margie's which is named after the owner's grandmother which i think is adorable okay i'm gonna leave links to the hotel into all the places that i visit in the description below because you guys have asked for that before but now i'm gonna go down and meet my friend hillary who has been spending a good portion of time out here in rockaway with her boyfriend ever since covet started but she's really busy right now launching a book which we can talk about in some other video but she's only got a little bit of time but she's here so gonna hang out with her for a little bit and catch up and then we can go exploring until real quick even if you're staying in a nice hotel like this one there are

in the day in the early 1900s a railroad was built here and with it came the democratization of the peninsula with amusement parks stores and resort hotels people from other parts of the city would all come out here for day trips or even stay for the entire summer it was around this time that it earned the nickname the playground of new york by the 50s though the region had fallen into an economic slump due to less people coming out here which resulted in restaurants and hotels closing etc but then in the 2000s it started to see a bit of a resurgence as more and more people were moving to new york than ever before and they like the people of the past started to come out here during the summer and now actually at least according to the hotel owners there's a lot of people coming out here during covid just to kind of get away from like the hustle and bustle of the larger main parts of the city and feel like they're kind of outside of it even though they're still within the city limits okay and now we're gonna head back to the hotel as quickly as we can because it looks like it is about to downpour and of course i come to like a beach town to show you guys the beach and stuff and it rains on me it's my luck it's fine but yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna get back to hotel pretty quick okay um well despite the rain we still got a nice sunset decent enough no complaints um it's a little windy up here so i apologize for the crazy hair but you do but real quick let's talk about the cameras on this phone so oneplus calls this a quad camera but that feels a bit misleading to me now when using the camera app we have an option for our wide camera and then our normal main sensor but then we have a two times which isn't actually a separate camera like on most phones but instead is a two times just digital zoom which is a little odd to me considering besides these two cameras they have two completely other cameras a macro camera for taking close-up shots which i always think is odd because we've seen other manufacturers just add a macro mode into their camera apps do the same thing but with the normal sensor so why would you put dedicated hardware in here for this and then we have a monochrome sensor which we've seen on older huawei devices for example now i was told that this is meant to capture more light and is used in conjunction with the other cameras but again another dedicated piece of hardware for this just seems unnecessary like if it made a huge difference in the photos sure but well you guys can decide for yourselves do you think it does with all the samples here in this video i guess and oneplus did something similar when they added in that color filter sensor in the 8 pro that really didn't have much practical use honestly to me it just feels like oneplus wanted to be able to say they had a quad camera system put in two sensors and then went okay what are the cheapest other cameras that we can add in here to get to four apparently i have the whole place to myself and there's even a like you can eat on the beach so i just have to say i asked the girl at the front what i should get she told me and then like a choice of three toppings and a choice of this and it's just a lot of choices and i was just like whatever you like just do that so i ended up with a chicken shawarma pita with some veggies that she put on it and a white sauce it was the right decision it is delicious but time to get out of here so real quick let's check in on the battery it is 8 21 pm and we are at 34 and now i think um well i was going to try to go to a bar and check out another place but because again we are out of season everything kind of closes a little bit early so i might just head back to the hotel okay calling it a night it is 10 50 p.m and we are at 18 now as far as battery life is concerned um here is my screen on time and my usage and all that fun stuff for anyone interested in that but honestly i think it's it's not amazing but it's not bad it's good um i would say it's probably on par with the fe which is it's probably the biggest competitor i feel like right now judging by you guys comments on that video you were all curious about this and then we'll see how the new pixel does when that finally arrives but yeah again not amazing but not bad there you go let me know what you guys think of this video of the phone itself um again keep doing it more vlog-like i keep saying that but honestly i enjoy doing these videos you guys seem to enjoy them i'm a little surprised but i appreciate it a lot um but yeah
