OnePlus 5T Review - One Of The Best

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enJust six months ago reviewed the Oneplus 5 andit's a very decent mobile phone I reallydid like it and now we have the 5Tthat I've been using now for the lastweek so if you're unaware that thismobile really is just a tweaked versionand oneplus didn't really add a lot toreally entice buyers to sell their oneplus five and get it one plus 5t I seeno reason whatsoever to do that unlessyou must have this two by one aspectratio screen now what has changed on thephone is very minimal so the fingerprintreader of course has been moved to theback because we've got the longer screenon there there wasn't space for it andjust like the one plus five it is superquick it unlocks blazing fast andprobably one of the best that you willfind for fingerprint readers in terms ofspeed there now the camera module on therear there made a slight tweak here thathave added a 20 megapixel camera here -apparently helped out with low light butreally between the 1 + 5 and then the 1plus 5t I don't really see much of adifference in terms of low-light qualityand it's probably the weakest area hereof this phone as the low-light cameraperformance but more on that later on inmy camera part of this review here so wehave a dual tone LED flash the secondarymicrophone - is just next to the cameranow with the camera I really hope thatputs something like a wide angled lenson here but they decided that theydidn't want to really change things uptoo much so that wasn't added neitherwas an IP rating they could have addedsome splash resistance I feel just toentice people to get to find out moreand to compete with other flagships ofcourse now up along the front theearpiece ambient light sensor the same16 megapixel camera just like the one +5so no change with that there now whenyou have a look at the screen it is avery nice screen indeed it is a premiumdisplay its optical AMOLED thetechnology it's using super bright nowthe screen because of the AMOLED meanswe've got deep blacks and viewing anglesare also excellent they are really goodone of the best that you will find andalso sunlight legibility of the screenis quite decent to amyloids tend to feela lot better than the IPS panels now onthe left hand side we have theSlyder I really do like this or withmore mobile phones had this it means youdon't even need to look at the phone toput it into silent mode or back intogeneral mode you can even do it in yourpocket you can put your hand in yourpocket and flip it into silent mode ifyou happen to be in a meeting orsomething which is really great thevolume buttons behind that below thatsorry they are really good they're madeout of metal then down the bottom wehave a type C port they did not do awaywith the 3.5 millimeter headphone jackwhich is a great move and it supports ofcourse their - charging which is a veryfast form of charging but you only getthe maximum speeds using their chargerso if you leave it at home and youhappen to use a Qualcomm quick charge 3charger then it will not be as fast sowe're - charging you can fully charge inabout 1 hour and 13 minutes and if youuse just a normal qualcomm charger cordwith quick charge it will then be aroundapproximately 2 hours so a little bitslow and they'll speaker on the bottomso they didn't add a secondaryloudspeaker in the earpiece like a lotof manufacturers have been doing I wishthey had done that because I feel itwould have just added a little bit moreto the sound quality overall of thespeakers but it's not bad I'll give youa sample of that soon so the phonefeatures very quick face unlocking orjust demonstrated here so you need towake the device first and then I'll lookat the screen and you can see how quickthat is so do that againit's pointing away from me now now pointthe camera towards my face and that ishow quick it is so very quick but I doquestion just how secure this isobviously it won't be super secure likeusing a fingerprint reader which is muchmore secure that's probably the securestform of locking the phone now sometimesin lower light it will struggle a littlebit and there is a bit of a delay and ifit's very dark and dim you will have touse your PIN number so by far for me thebest part of this phone is the ROM it isvery light you don't get any bloatwarereally just get a couple of tiny littleapps on there you get a few google appsas well that maybe some of them youcould consider as bloat but it is reallylight compared to other manufacturerslike Samsung the tempted cram a lot ofjunk on there the ROM is running Android7.1.1and there should be an update comingthrough soon to Android 8 onethat's going to be coming early nextyears I hope to see that very soon butthe performance of this row I'm justgoing through multitasking split-screenis just so smooth and it is one of thefastest Android devices that I have usedthe oneplus three was faster one plusthree T was also super quick and thenthe one plus five and this is reallyexactly the same the ROM performance isjust second to none so we know the ROMis blazing fast I mean we've got theSnapdragon 83 5 6 gigabytes of RAM onthis model here and this is the antutuscore so on par with other Snapdragon835 devices the Wireless performsexcellent super fast speeds depending onyour connection of course I can almostmaximize my full fiber 300 megabit thesecond line I have here with thewireless AC range is also really decent4G speeds no complaints of course thisis going to vary depending on thenetwork time of day but it works reallywell and the internal storage is superfast I mean look at these speeds here712 megabytes per second sequential readfor K's are also excellent it's usingufs 2.1 specs storage that is why it isso fast gps always very quick to getlock and the accuracy hovers around 3 to5 meters which is very good and neverlost track of me whatsoever when I wasmoving around town and also driving inmy car now checking out the battery lifeso there one plus 5t has a very decentbattery life you can get screen on timei've cluster around seven hours maybeeven about eight hours depending on yourbrightness now I did do a lot of gamingduring this time here so that was quitedemanding of course gonna be drainingthe battery quite a bit there you cansee I played hid there for almost threehours that's quite a long time and Ithink about an hour or so actually twohours 35 minutes it's more than Ithought of shadow fight 3 which I seemto be a little bit addicted to at themoment so better life is really good nowcharge time is very fast to fully chargeis around 1 hour and 12 minutes is whatI got and with just 30 minutes chargetime you can get about 50% batteries so really really quick timeshere so overall battery is good for thebattery size of 3300 milliamp hours sowe've got one they'll speak it down thebottom and I don't have any realcomplaints with it I wish they'd gonewith dual loudspeakers but for a singleloudspeaker it's not bad I'll give you asample of itnow when it comes to gaming performancethe Snapdragon a35 will play everythingwas smooth playable framerates that I'llthrow at it really decent performanceand newer titles like this shadow fight3 here will play in the 18 by 9 aspectratio and they look great now onto thecameras have they improved over the 1plus 5well oneplus came that they haveimproved the cameras I'm not reallynoticing that much of a difference atall to be honest one area have noticedan improvement though is in the portraitmode so that's what the blurredbackground it's using software to stitchbetween the background and then what isin focus there so in good light thecameras can take a very decent photo butas you'll see here with these samplesthat in low-light it just lacks a littlebit of detail compared to otherflagships so when you crop into thephoto so here I've cropped in 200% youcan see that there's a lot of noise andway actually looks a little bit too softto me just lacks detail now onto videoquality up to 4k you can shoot now thatwill crop in quite a bit on the frontfacing camera and 1080p it tends tosometimes look up to me a little bit toocropped in and close but that's a resultof the digital image stabilization butyou see here with the 4k footage that itis very steady and at times if you'restill and you're holding it very stillit will look like the camera is mountedon a tripod which is excellent nowwalking around and if you move veryquickly you will notice some jerkinesssome sort of jelly kind of effect thatis India that's a result of thestabilization of course so it's not 100%perfect but the kind of quality we havehere with the stabilization is verysimilar to the Google pixel line ofcameras that also use digitalstabilization I would have liked them tohave gone with optical imagestabilization for low-light photos toimprove them but I guess with what we'vegot to here at the moment isn't that badin terms of video quality thestabilization we haveso there we go overall this is perhapsone of the best Android phones you canget at the time of this review here thisthing is so fastI love the ROM it's smooth it's great atmultitasking and switching between appsand it's just like similar to stockAndroid but it has a level ofcustomization on it that's verypractical and they don't force bloatwarein all sorts of other things into therom and cram it all and lag it down witha custom launcher like a lot ofmanufacturers do for example likeSamsung it is really quite solid so thebuild quality overall is really good notbad at all it is slippery thefingerprint reader and face unlocking islightning fast it's so quick the camerais probably the disappointing area notin daytime photos not in 4k video 4kvideo the optical sorry the digitalstabilization is really good however Ibelieve they should have put opticalimage stabilization as well on one ofthese cameras and that would havegreatly improved the low-light cameraperformance because with optical imagestabilization they could have had aslower shutter rate capturing a littlebit more light in just giving us moredetails so the low-light photography iswhere I feel this phone fails a littlebit it's its weakest point clearly ifyou're in a bar or in your Sun when youtake some photos with this phone a lotof those photos when you look at them onthe screen will look fine but if youactually just zoom in a little bit andonly crop them to about 150 percent thenyou can see that it's just lackingdetails looks a little bit too softcompared to what other flagships can dobut apart from that I mean the screen isgreat that optical AMOLED panel looksabsolutely amazingvery decent premium display that theyhave put in here the alert slider isvery practical we still have the 3.5millimeter headphone jack pulled onthere and the charging speed is thequickest around it is so fast which isreally good so when you're running lowyou can just plug it in and in 30minutes literally have about 58 percentbattery life to go which should last youat least a day with medium use there soan all-round great frame this isdefinitely one of my favourite Androiddevices thank you so much for watchingthis review herehope to see you back in the channel soonwith more upcoming reviews bye for nowyou\n"
