- The OnePlus 5 is officially official.
And I figured instead of you guys
scouring the Internet trying to find the release date,
the pricing, and all that other fun stuff,
I would just throw together a quick video
on all that to try to save you some time.
Also, stay tuned 'til the end
and I'll show you how you guys
can get the OnePlus right now instead of having to wait
until its release date a week from now.
So first up, let's quickly go over the specs.
The OnePlus 5 has a 1080p, 5.5 inch AMOLED screen.
It's powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor
and there are two models, one has six gigs of RAM
and 64 gigs of storage and then another model
has eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage.
Both of the RAM is DDR4.
Now, this phone is a true world phone according to OnePlus
and that just means that it has a lot of frequencies
for all the GSM carriers around the world
as well as CDMA built in, which means it'll work on,
say, Verizon and Sprint, technically speaking.
OnePlus said they also improved the vibration motor
because that was a big point of contention
for people from the 3T.
It is now stronger and quieter
so it doesn't annoy the crap out of everybody
around you when it's sitting on the table.
We have a dual camera set-up
which is very similar to the iPhone.
But we have a 20 megapixel telephoto lens
and we have a 16 megapixel wide-angle lens
with an aperture of F1.7.
There is no optical stabilization like on the iPhone,
but it does use electronic stabilization.
So think Pixel more than iPhone 7 Plus.
The phone has Dash charging which they say
will give you a days' worth in 30 minutes,
has a USB-C port at the bottom,
we have an RGB notification light
which means that the notifications
can be different colors.
It has NFC built in, Bluetooth 5.0,
and WiFi, all the different specs
that you're used to seeing.
And powering the thing is a 3300 mAh, non-removable battery.
Now you can get one of the two models,
the six gig, 64 gig storage option for 479
or you can get the 8 gig, 128 gig storage option for 539.
Now I noticed something weird when I was looking at
the website trying to order one of these
and that is, normally they say
that there are two color options,
there's gray and there's black,
but when you look at the site,
there's only gray for the six gig, 64 gig option
and there's only black for the eight gig, 128 gig option
so depending on what model you choose
you have to choose that color.
Maybe that'll change, I don't know,
but right now that's what it kind of looks like on the site.
Now, if you don't want to wait for the June 27 release date,
you can get it early in their Early Drop program.
Now, all you have to do for that
is go check out the livestream
and they've put a code in there
and when you put that code into the page
that I'll link below, it'll allow you to order the phone
right now, it'll ship out tomorrow,
and you'll get free expedited shipping
of one to three days.
Otherwise, you have to wait 'til the 27th
and then get your normal, standard shipping
or pay extra for expedited.
Now, to save you the hassle
of having to run through the live video,
the code that you need is "Clearer Photos"
with capital letters on each word and no punctuation.
Now, it's not that big of a secret code
because it is technically located
on the OnePlus homepage as well.
There you go, the specs and how to get the phone
if you want it, you gotta have it right now.
Also, a bunch of reviews went live
the minute that the announcement was done
and so I put together a couple of ones that I really like,
each with opposing viewpoints,
somebody really liked it and somebody didn't so much.
I've linked those below, you should check those out,
and also I linked to a camera comparison
between the OnePlus 5 and the iPhone 7 Plus
done by my buddy Saf.
It's not technically a review,
but you should check that out as well.
It's kind of interesting.
And now let me know what you guys think of this video,
of me doing the shorter news things as big events happen,
let me know what you think about that,
if I should keep doing them or not.
And then also let me know
what you guys think about the OnePlus 5.
Is anybody excited? Disappointed? Let me know.
Love to hear from you guys.
