Just six months ago reviewed the Oneplus 5 and it's a very decent mobile phone I really
did like it and now we have the 5T that I've been using now for the last
week so if you're unaware that this mobile really is just a tweaked version
and oneplus didn't really add a lot to really entice buyers to sell their one
plus five and get it one plus 5t I see no reason whatsoever to do that unless
you must have this two by one aspect ratio screen now what has changed on the
phone is very minimal so the fingerprint reader of course has been moved to the
back because we've got the longer screen on there there wasn't space for it and
just like the one plus five it is super quick it unlocks blazing fast and
probably one of the best that you will find for fingerprint readers in terms of
speed there now the camera module on the rear there made a slight tweak here that
have added a 20 megapixel camera here - apparently helped out with low light but
really between the 1 + 5 and then the 1 plus 5t I don't really see much of a
difference in terms of low-light quality and it's probably the weakest area here
of this phone as the low-light camera performance but more on that later on in
my camera part of this review here so we have a dual tone LED flash the secondary
microphone - is just next to the camera now with the camera I really hope that
puts something like a wide angled lens on here but they decided that they
didn't want to really change things up too much so that wasn't added neither
was an IP rating they could have added some splash resistance I feel just to
entice people to get to find out more and to compete with other flagships of
course now up along the front the earpiece ambient light sensor the same
16 megapixel camera just like the one +5 so no change with that there now when
you have a look at the screen it is a very nice screen indeed it is a premium
display its optical AMOLED the technology it's using super bright now
the screen because of the AMOLED means we've got deep blacks and viewing angles
are also excellent they are really good one of the best that you will find and
also sunlight legibility of the screen is quite decent to amyloids tend to feel
a lot better than the IPS panels now on the left hand side we have the
Slyder I really do like this or with more mobile phones had this it means you
don't even need to look at the phone to put it into silent mode or back into
general mode you can even do it in your pocket you can put your hand in your
pocket and flip it into silent mode if you happen to be in a meeting or
something which is really great the volume buttons behind that below that
sorry they are really good they're made out of metal then down the bottom we
have a type C port they did not do away with the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
which is a great move and it supports of course their - charging which is a very
fast form of charging but you only get the maximum speeds using their charger
so if you leave it at home and you happen to use a Qualcomm quick charge 3
charger then it will not be as fast so we're - charging you can fully charge in
about 1 hour and 13 minutes and if you use just a normal qualcomm charger cord
with quick charge it will then be around approximately 2 hours so a little bit
slow and they'll speaker on the bottom so they didn't add a secondary
loudspeaker in the earpiece like a lot of manufacturers have been doing I wish
they had done that because I feel it would have just added a little bit more
to the sound quality overall of the speakers but it's not bad I'll give you
a sample of that soon so the phone features very quick face unlocking or
just demonstrated here so you need to wake the device first and then I'll look
at the screen and you can see how quick that is so do that again
it's pointing away from me now now point the camera towards my face and that is
how quick it is so very quick but I do question just how secure this is
obviously it won't be super secure like using a fingerprint reader which is much
more secure that's probably the securest form of locking the phone now sometimes
in lower light it will struggle a little bit and there is a bit of a delay and if
it's very dark and dim you will have to use your PIN number so by far for me the
best part of this phone is the ROM it is very light you don't get any bloatware
really just get a couple of tiny little apps on there you get a few google apps
as well that maybe some of them you could consider as bloat but it is really
light compared to other manufacturers like Samsung the tempted cram a lot of
junk on there the ROM is running Android 7.1.1
and there should be an update coming through soon to Android 8 one
that's going to be coming early next years I hope to see that very soon but
the performance of this row I'm just going through multitasking split-screen
is just so smooth and it is one of the fastest Android devices that I have used
the oneplus three was faster one plus three T was also super quick and then
the one plus five and this is really exactly the same the ROM performance is
just second to none so we know the ROM is blazing fast I mean we've got the
Snapdragon 83 5 6 gigabytes of RAM on this model here and this is the antutu
score so on par with other Snapdragon 835 devices the Wireless performs
excellent super fast speeds depending on your connection of course I can almost
maximize my full fiber 300 megabit the second line I have here with the
wireless AC range is also really decent 4G speeds no complaints of course this
is going to vary depending on the network time of day but it works really
well and the internal storage is super fast I mean look at these speeds here
712 megabytes per second sequential read for K's are also excellent it's using
ufs 2.1 specs storage that is why it is so fast gps always very quick to get
lock and the accuracy hovers around 3 to 5 meters which is very good and never
lost track of me whatsoever when I was moving around town and also driving in
my car now checking out the battery life so there one plus 5t has a very decent
battery life you can get screen on time i've cluster around seven hours maybe
even about eight hours depending on your brightness now I did do a lot of gaming
during this time here so that was quite demanding of course gonna be draining
the battery quite a bit there you can see I played hid there for almost three
hours that's quite a long time and I think about an hour or so actually two
hours 35 minutes it's more than I thought of shadow fight 3 which I seem
to be a little bit addicted to at the moment so better life is really good now
charge time is very fast to fully charge is around 1 hour and 12 minutes is what
I got and with just 30 minutes charge time you can get about 50
% batteries so really really quick times here so overall battery is good for the
battery size of 3300 milliamp hours so we've got one they'll speak it down the
bottom and I don't have any real complaints with it I wish they'd gone
with dual loudspeakers but for a single loudspeaker it's not bad I'll give you a
sample of it
now when it comes to gaming performance the Snapdragon a35 will play everything
was smooth playable framerates that I'll throw at it really decent performance
and newer titles like this shadow fight 3 here will play in the 18 by 9 aspect
ratio and they look great now onto the cameras have they improved over the 1
plus 5 well oneplus came that they have
improved the cameras I'm not really noticing that much of a difference at
all to be honest one area have noticed an improvement though is in the portrait
mode so that's what the blurred background it's using software to stitch
between the background and then what is in focus there so in good light the
cameras can take a very decent photo but as you'll see here with these samples
that in low-light it just lacks a little bit of detail compared to other
flagships so when you crop into the photo so here I've cropped in 200% you
can see that there's a lot of noise and way actually looks a little bit too soft
to me just lacks detail now onto video quality up to 4k you can shoot now that
will crop in quite a bit on the front facing camera and 1080p it tends to
sometimes look up to me a little bit too cropped in and close but that's a result
of the digital image stabilization but you see here with the 4k footage that it
is very steady and at times if you're still and you're holding it very still
it will look like the camera is mounted on a tripod which is excellent now
walking around and if you move very quickly you will notice some jerkiness
some sort of jelly kind of effect that is India that's a result of the
stabilization of course so it's not 100% perfect but the kind of quality we have
here with the stabilization is very similar to the Google pixel line of
cameras that also use digital stabilization I would have liked them to
have gone with optical image stabilization for low-light photos to
improve them but I guess with what we've got to here at the moment isn't that bad
in terms of video quality the stabilization we have
so there we go overall this is perhaps one of the best Android phones you can
get at the time of this review here this thing is so fast
I love the ROM it's smooth it's great at multitasking and switching between apps
and it's just like similar to stock Android but it has a level of
customization on it that's very practical and they don't force bloatware
in all sorts of other things into the rom and cram it all and lag it down with
a custom launcher like a lot of manufacturers do for example like
Samsung it is really quite solid so the build quality overall is really good not
bad at all it is slippery the fingerprint reader and face unlocking is
lightning fast it's so quick the camera is probably the disappointing area not
in daytime photos not in 4k video 4k video the optical sorry the digital
stabilization is really good however I believe they should have put optical
image stabilization as well on one of these cameras and that would have
greatly improved the low-light camera performance because with optical image
stabilization they could have had a slower shutter rate capturing a little
bit more light in just giving us more details so the low-light photography is
where I feel this phone fails a little bit it's its weakest point clearly if
you're in a bar or in your Sun when you take some photos with this phone a lot
of those photos when you look at them on the screen will look fine but if you
actually just zoom in a little bit and only crop them to about 150 percent then
you can see that it's just lacking details looks a little bit too soft
compared to what other flagships can do but apart from that I mean the screen is
great that optical AMOLED panel looks absolutely amazing
very decent premium display that they have put in here the alert slider is
very practical we still have the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack pulled on
there and the charging speed is the quickest around it is so fast which is
really good so when you're running low you can just plug it in and in 30
minutes literally have about 58 percent battery life to go which should last you
at least a day with medium use there so an all-round great frame this is
definitely one of my favourite Android devices thank you so much for watching
this review here hope to see you back in the channel soon
with more upcoming reviews bye for now
you
