Hey, how's it going? Dave 2d here!
So OnePlus recently launched their new McLaren edition of the oneplus 6t and it costs $70 more than your regular kind of
equivalently specs OnePlus 6t for that $70 you get 3 main features one :
A completely different aesthetic,it's the same phone but it looks a lot better in my opinion than the regular one.
It comes in a new box comes with some fancy stuff
But the phone itself has this carbon fiber finish and an orange accent color on the bottom and it looks nice but also has two
Main hardware features. So it has 10 gigs of RAM instead of your standard 8 gigs and it also has this new charging system
So the 10 gigs of ram is cool, but I could be honest
I feel like 10 gigs of RAM on any phone is superfluous at the very best
But the charging system was something, I was interested in so I tested it out
So this charging system is called 'warp charge' and it pumps up to 30 watts into your phone
So the traditional kind of OnePlus 6 or OnePlus6t charging system they used to call the dash charge
It's called 'fast charge' now
This pumps 20 watts at peak into this phone 30 watts comes from the warp charger and it comes in this bright orange color
Oneplus claims that the warp charger can fill up the McLaren Edition phone to up to 50% in 20 minutes
So I tested it several times truth is I never got 50% not even once in the several 20 minute trials ahead
But it got close the closest I got was
48%,but this is the charging graph
So at first when you charged both of these phones the regular OnePLus 6t with the regular 20 watt fast charger or dash charger
Charges noticeably slower than the 30 watt warp charger
But by the time it's like 50, maybe 60 percent full the speed is reduced on the warp charger
It's still fast, but it's just not as fast as it is when you first start charging the device
It could be a thermal thing
But I feel like the benefits of the Warp charger are more noticeable
If you're just filling up from 0 to like 50 or 60 anything beyond that, it's cool
But it's not as substantial as I thought it would be and just out of curiosity
I switched the phone
So I used the warp charger to charge the regular OnePlus 6t and I used the dash charger or the fast charger to charge
the Mclaren edition phone and
Surprisingly the warp charger does juice up the regular OnePlus 6t a little bit faster, but it's not like a huge difference either
I would say though that this is,
It's like is this worth 70 bucks?
I feel like for most people it isn't like, if you're looking at a One Plus phone you're probably someone who appreciates value not that
This is like a bad value or anything like that
But this like the value proposition of what you're getting here isn't huge
Right, like unless you're a huge fan of McLaren or you love the color orange or you love this little plaque thing.
I Just realized
You can remove this like you can take this out. There's a little piece of carbon fiber in here
It's like a little it's like the McLaren logo printed. You know what let's remove it. I'm getting a screwdriver.
Oh yeah! comes apart real easily, but like I was saying value wise
It's a cool-looking product. But for 70 bucks that's like a big percentage of the actual value of the product
So I would say for most people it's not worth it, but it does look cool
now I think more interestingly I think in the future One Plus phones will probably include the warp charger and that sounds cool.
Like I hope they don't use this as a, as a way to like justify their upcoming increase in price for all their future phones, but
Slightly faster charging times is good for everybody. I might have to edit this
But I don't feel like this video is very long. Anyways, thanks for watching. Okay?
It is
It's glued in
It actually looks like it's real carbon fiber though.
Okay. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. sorry, this was so disappointing
See you guys next time thumbs if you liked it subs if you loved it.
