hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the one plus seven Pro I've been
using it for about a week and a half or so I've had my SIM card in it for quite
a bit of that and this is one of my favorite Android phones or favorite
phones I've ever used quite honestly there's so much good about it but I'm
going to cover the good and the bad now let's start off with the good the first
thing is its design it feels really nice in the hand it's very futuristic feeling
very similar to a galaxy phone this curved edge here leading to a very thin
side edge makes it just feel really great in the hand now of course it's
very slippery because of this finish back so if you use the included case
that definitely helps or you could buy a different one as well I just like to use
it without the case because it just feels like I'm holding a phone that's
more futuristic of course because it has no bezels hardly it has no forward
facing camera or not hunched in here so it just really looks great and I like
the design a lot of course we have this switch on the side which also adds to it
and I don't know why more Android manufacturers don't do this but to
silence the phone or let it ring or vibrate that is by far one of the best
features of this phone and I don't know why they don't add that to every Android
phone now the next thing of course is this display it's the best display
easily on any phone as far as the way it looks it's got great viewing angles and
just of course it filling out this whole front of the phone makes it look that
much better and the display is 31 20 by 1440 with
516 pixels per inch and it's 6.67 inches this is a big phone and
to give you a comparison here is a pixel three XL and that gives you an idea of
its size so it's a pretty big phone and a little bit taller than an s10 plus or
a pixel three XL and it's about the same width but it's it's definitely a little
taller and it's very heavy I don't know if that has to do with all the
components inside for the forward-facing camera we'll talk more about that in a
moment but the main thing with this display is its ninety Hertz refresh rate
it's super smooth all the time now you can turn that down to 60 frames per
second but you can see the difference know if you can see it on this video the
videos at 60 60 or 60 frames per second but it's definitely noticeable in
purpose and person and anyone I've shown it to has been very impressed and I've
yet to see it slowed down and that leads to the next point of speed the
Snapdragon 855 coupled with well at least this version has 8 gigabytes of
RAM you can bump that to 12 gigabytes or get one with 6 gigabytes but this has a
it's in the middle and it's plenty fast and fluid with 8 gigabytes of RAM but
the RAM management is good I don't find myself seeing apps reload regularly or
anything like that it's just a very nice phone to use and eight gigabytes is
probably the sweet spot if you want to spend a little bit more you can do that
and get the twelve gigabytes but it starts at 669 this is the $6.99 version
and then you can go a little bit more expensive but I think if you're going to
go with one and you just want to save a little bit of money you can do that then
it has 256 gigabytes of internal storage that's now upgradable and this is
actually the t-mobile version which isn't as good and I'll talk about that
in a moment but let's move on to the next good thing other than speed since
it doesn't really ever slow down in fact I've not had it slowed down once the
next thing is the camera the camera is super fast has a lot of different
options of course we've got video now the video options are quite nice this
will capture 4k 60 so you'll see there's an ultra wide lens
there's manual HDR control we also can share data and those sorts of things
turn on a 3x3 or golden ratio grid whatever you'd like it's in here it's
very customizable and nice and you'll see I have the flashlight on so if you
want to light your subject you can do that while you're taking a video of
course you've got photo in portrait modes and then of course we've got that
wide-angle lens like I mentioned before so you've got a normal lens telephoto
and wide-angle and let's take a look at some of those photos from this
now of course we have that forward-facing lens and when we hit the
button here it spins around and pops up the camera and this works really well
it's pretty flawless and no issues there whatsoever I really think it's a great
way to do that as long as this is durable and oneplus keeps releasing
videos showing how durable this front-facing camera is so I think it's
gonna be fine for most people and it does have portrait mode and all of those
things so in general it's a great camera it is not as good as what at photos as a
pixel 3xl video is pretty good as well take a look at some of the video from it
here
you'll see the video is pretty good I'm not going to say it's as good as an
iPhone as far as the video is concerned but for the most part the camera is
going to be great for most people the night scape in my experience is not as
good as say pixels version but for most people this is going to be fine and is
not a huge compromise unless you're really into photography you'll notice it
or you'll just use something like a mirrorless or a DSLR or something like
that a mirrorless camera so I think it's more than sufficient and in just as good
as most other cameras now the next positive thing is the speakers it has a
speaker at the very top here and then one at the bottom and it is in stereo
it's very similar to how an iPhone sounds because it's shooting sound out
the bottom and towards you with this one so you can't really hear it in a video
like this but when you're playing video and things they're nice and loud no
issues with them they sound good they do get a little tinny at high volumes and I
wouldn't say they're phenomenal but they're pretty good for the most part I
don't think most people would be upset with the quality of them and if you
really want higher quality you're going to use headphones or something else now
the final good thing is the fingerprint reader so if we turn the display on it's
super fast it's incredibly fast for a fingerprint reader now it may not be as
secure is say a samsung galaxy S10 plus because of that using sonic or
ultrasonic but this is actually using a camera under the display so if we turn
it on we can just do it like this it's fast every time switch fingers I do have
this one programmed sometimes there's a little bit of lag but for the most part
it's as fast as any fingerprint reader I've used so it seems pretty good as far
as that goes now the next thing is a mid category of good and bad and that's
leading to the battery now the battery is a four thousand milliamp hour battery
and for the most part it's pretty good it should get you through most of the
day but it is not phenomenal and I don't know if I can show you here but I was
finding I was getting about five hours of screen on time this was recently
charged so not going to show that but I'm getting
about five hours of screen on time with normal use and that's from the start of
the day to the end so I've gotten better on other phones I find that it's okay
it's acceptable and what really helps is the fast charger this Warp charger
really does work well if you're low on battery plug it in for 15 minutes and
you're good to go for another half a day or so so really if you don't think too
much about it it's not that big of a deal as long as you can plug in for 15
or 20 minutes you'll be fine otherwise it's going to be a pain for you now that
leads to the next category which is the bad things about the oneplus 7 Pro and
the first thing is no wireless charging now this may not be bad for some people
I find it to be very convenient without it of course you have that warped
charger I just mentioned but I really appreciate when we have wireless
charging I wish they could have done that but they didn't it's not the end of
the world but where this phone lacks that's one of the areas the next thing
is there's no headphone jack and again this isn't going to be a huge deal for
many people today but no headphone jack when oneplus is all about not
compromising the experience kind of is is a little frustrating to me at time
since the pixel 3a and 3a Excel actually added one back so I would love to see
that but I don't really hold my breath for that and it's not a huge deal but it
may be for some the next thing of course is no IP rating and while I'm not really
sold on the whole IP rating thing I think it's helpful but since
manufacturers don't cover it anyway if it's damaged in water even if their
seals don't hold it's not a huge deal to me but oneplus has said they've
basically done what's required of an ip68 certification without getting it
certified so that it saves us money I'm not really willing to test that but it
seems like it holds up well in some other test under water so I think you'll
be fine for the most part I wouldn't take it swimming or anything like that
but getting some water on it should be okay now I have two more bad things and
they're really minor quite honestly one of them is no visual voicemail for free
this is a t-mobile version of the phone so you actually have to pay for their
visual you can try it out when it comes to the
actual om version of this it may be different the other thing has to do with
updates this is the t-mobile version and this will not be true if you have the
OEM version or the one you order from their website if you go down here and go
to system update there's only the April update but this does not have things
like DC dimming to help with the display if it bothers your eyes like it does for
me and it also does not have some of the other features that come with the OEM
version so that is the actual updates come later these this update didn't come
until yesterday and it still doesn't have all the features I was looking
forward to so there's that otherwise though this is a great phone it is
incredibly fast you can see here's Chrome if we go back out maybe go into
music here everything just loads crazy fast all the time and I have no issues
with it whatsoever I highly highly recommend this phone if you're looking
for an Android phone that's as close to OEM as possible in fact that should be
another positive for me is it's basically a stock Android phone with a
couple features like this switch here that add to the experience they don't
try and manipulate or change the experience so I think it's really great
let me know what you think in the comments below of course I'll link this
wallpaper it's a motion wallpaper if you haven't seen it it kind of zooms in when
you unlock the phone I'll try and link it in its static form in the description
