what's up guys i'm ben from authentech, and today's videos more of a fun
experiment i want to compare the camera of the latest one plus 60 versus 1 plus
5t about one year generation change i was curious of the results is there
gonna be that big of a difference one plus his position as a budget-friendly
phone even though there's still more mid-tier so if you're looking to get a
budget phone would it be worth getting the latest and greatest maybe the 60 or
is the 5 t still good enough at least in reference to that camera the 60 is their
newest latest phone released november 6 2018 for 549 bucks for the 6 gig or 579
for the 8 gig the 5 t was about one year before that november 21 2017 and it's
currently 400 bucks on prime so some people are saying that the differences
or improvements from phone generation degeneration is getting smaller and
smaller so in regards to the camera specifically i want to know how far have
they come in one year approximately and this might help someone who doesn't
maybe need the latest and greatest or is it worth the upgrade
we'll find out also make sure you're following me on instagram for all my
behind the scenes shots so let's jump right in start with some daylight photos
things to be looking for is the dynamic range quality and resolution colors
contrast and saturation at first glance a lot of the photos actually look pretty
similar similar colors similar contrasts even dynamic range both are doing a nice
job of sharpness and clarity white balance is slightly different in a few
shots but not by too much if we do a big zoom in and use that secondary 20
megapixel lens on each phone and do a little pixel peeping we can see the
aliasing on the edges of that roof awning on the 5 t where the edges aren't
crisp and straight on the 16 in this macro shot in the tree for some strange
reason the 60 has this blurred out edges effect and the 5 t is looking fine in
this flower shop both cameras look similar and honestly pretty sweet shot
on both in this shot with the plants and the bright light bulbs underneath
I was surprised to see that the dynamic range is very similar between the two
both are just slightly blowing out the highlights on the lights but neither one
can clearly beat out the other both cameras have a nice and large F 1.7
aperture for natural-looking bokeh and tight depth of field one slight
difference we can sometimes notice between the two primary lenses the 60
has a 25 millimeter focal length the 5 t has a 27 millimeter so it's just
slightly tighter field of view both cameras support the portrait blur effect
and in this shot the default edge outlining looks similar
now strange enough let's jump to the front-facing cameras I snapped a few
more portraits here and man it missed the focus it was inconsistent rough edge
outlining over soften shots on both cameras I was pretty disappointed
hopefully this feature can be improved in the new 7 series coming up speaking
of missed focus this was a consistent theme throughout a lot of these tests
and you'll see it in the video as well now both cameras are using phase
detection autofocus but like seen here the 5 T was missing that autofocus mark
on my hand like 80 or 90 percent of the time the 60 still missed the focus
plenty of times and it felt a little sluggish as well but thankfully it
nailed it more often than not this is another big wishlist item that I have
for oneplus please lock down a good and consistent autofocus camera system now
the 60 has that night mode and I was intrigued how it stacks up to the
old-school normal mode on the 5 T in low-light conditions well in this shot
we can see just how much darker and more grain is in the 5 T and the 60 has much
better exposure however it sadly missed the focus point again right dead center
in camera framing now in the second test the 5 T is again it's super grainy noisy
and dark but that's somewhat to be expected however the 60 the shutter
opened for just a quick second then closed and produce a semi dark blurry
shot well I tried it again and the second time the shutter and processing
time took much longer about 10 seconds and produce a much cleaner
better-looking shot so I'm starting to think that the single word that might
wrap up this whole review is possibly inconsistent jumping back to video
footage comparison both cameras are recording here at 4k 30fps but one key
difference the new 60 camera can shoot up to 4k 60fps which is very awesome now
the average person probably doesn't care too much about this but for a full time
filmmaker like myself this is an awesome feature to have now overall the
sharpness and clarity look better on the 60 but that's a good thing
now onto one thing I just can't figure out both cameras mostly the newer 60 has
this crazy saturated teal and cyan color white balance thing going on in the
footage and this is all unedited straight out of auto mode on the camera
and I quick talked about this in my last big phone comparison between pixel and
iPhone and algae check it out in case you missed it in
this shot you can clearly see where the off colors and my skin tones are when I
point the camera back at myself and rotate around it was dang cold out there
and it felt like my face was gonna fall off but I promise you it's truly not
that red in real life oh and don't worry if I forgot to mention I made sure both
phones were up to date with the latest updates
we're still on rear facing cameras here and honestly the stabilization looks
pretty similar to my eyes with the 16 possibly coming out just a smidge
smoother
sniffing jogging stabilization counseling when I jump to jog in both
are doing a nice job of smoothing out the bumps and wobbles but again that 60
is slightly smoother but still pretty close tie okay so a few very interesting
notes here first off that audio recording was pretty horrendous on that
sixty and sure it was super windy out there but hey at least you can slightly
hear my voice on the five T it's doing a little bit of a better job of noise
reduction now my second major reaction just look at how much better and more
natural the colors white balance and saturation look on the 60 they match up
with the five tees so much closer if any of you guys know what's going on here
drop a comment down below I really wish that the 4k rear facing colors were
looking more like this anyway the 1080p looks pretty good and nice dynamic range
on both though we can clearly see in some spots like the blown out skies on
the five teeth whereas in the sixty is able to maintain those Blues in the sky
so a nice job there we can't forget a quick slow-motion test and this is
actually one big area of difference between these two cameras the five T
maxes out frames 240 FPS 720p the 60 actually has one of my favorite features
that very few phones have nowadays and that's doubling that frame rate up to
480 fps at 720p now we can also shoot higher res at 1080p 240fps it's nice to
have the option the quick math on this one one quick second of fast action can
be dragged out to 16 seconds of footage on a 30 P timeline that opens up a world
of fun and creative slow-mo shots so here's my closing thoughts it's semi
common nowadays for advancements and the camera and features to become less and
less in each iteration and I have to give massive kudos to oneplus for
pumping out a new phone every six months that's very impressive so let's say
you're looking for a budget phone but you're thinking well maybe the old 5 T
is good enough or do you need the 16th well in terms of the camera it doesn't
seem to be a world of difference and for the average person out there the 5 t
might be just good enough however if you like that
features of 4k 60fps uber slow-motion that new low-light night mode well then
you might want to consider that newer 60 model I honestly really like the one
plus phones but I just wish they were a bit more consistent with photography and
videos nailing that autofocus accurate natural color science but hey that new 1
plus 7 is just around the corner probably around May 2019 so hopefully I
can get my hands on one to test and compare for you guys now consider
