What is going on guys. It is Mike. And today we are talking about the newly
released OnePlus seven Pro and my impressions of using the device after
72 hours. As this is my first impressions make sure that you subscribe
with notifications and able to be the very first to know when my full review hits
OnePlus and T-Mobile how a launch party earlier this week at T-Mobile flagship
stores all around the country allowing super fans like me and you to go
hands on with the OnePlus 7 Pro before it launch nationwide on Friday May 17th.
Now as part of those launch parties OnePlus had some exclusive branded
swag that I am going to be giving away to one lucky winner. So make sure
that you stick around to the end of the video to learn how to enter and win. Now, let's get started.
Now let's get started.
The OnePlus 7 Pro has an impressive list of features that squarely positions
the device as a flagship. While being able to deliver on premium experience
for much much less than the competition. There are three versions that
are available: two from OnePlus and one from T-Mobile. You can choose from 6
GB of RAM and 128 gigs of storage for $670 US or you can even max it out
with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $750 US dollars
So comparatively speaking, this places the OnePlus 7 Pro $50 dollars cheaper
than the lower tier flagship devices like the S10e from Samsung and the
iPhone XR from Apple.
What is great about OnePlus philosophy is that they over spec the phone
in order to remain usable several years down the road. And the OnePlus
7 Pro is no different. First it's powered by Qualcomm's behemoth
octa-c ore processor the Snapdragon 855
Second it is the first commercially available phone to use UFS 3.0 fast storage. RIP.
Galaxy fold
It features an all-glass design and unlike the competition, it is free
from a camera notch or a cut out. And it is worth noting that both the
front and rear glass panels are both Gorilla Glass 5. There is a pop up,
16 megapixel camera for front facing selfies and face unlock. The back
of the phone contains the now all too familiar triple camera setup including a wide, telephoto,
and primary lenses and last but not least there is a large a 4000mAh battery
which can be charged of 50 percent pull from completely dead when using
the included warp 30 charger
The very first thing I notice after unboxing the OnePlus 7 Pro is just
how heavy the device feels in hand. The device is by no means a lightweight
or even a middle weight as a tip the scale coming in at 206 grams
Some users will be immediately thrown off by using it. Such a heavy phone especially
if you're someone who has been using a galaxy for any amount of time.
Now for comparison that is 30 grams heavier than the S10+ or according
to the measure things. It's just about the same weight as a hamster
For me the one plus some pro really exudes an immense sense of build quality
making the device feel substantial in the hands in the pocket or maybe
even in your purse. Now as someone who's been using an S 10 for the past few months,
I've really come to appreciate that Samsung delivers high build quality
in a tighter package which makes the OnePlus having pro less than ideal
for me. But by no means is it a deal breaker.
The OnePlus 7 Pro features a near bezel-less design with a 6.67-inch display
that OnePlus brands as Fluid AMOLED. Similar to the Infinity-O display
found on the S10, the OnePlus 7 Pro has these beautiful rounded corners
allowing the display to spill over to the side of the device
Unlike the rest hand. When I was using the device in full portrait mode
I was constantly had his pain in the ass where the touch targets were women
along the side of the display.
Thankfully I haven't found myself mistakenly pressing the edges of the OnePlus
7 Pro while watching vertical video in YouTube or even in other apps that
have list results like Spotify. The fluid AMOLED display is extremely vivid
and bright for most viewing conditions while being capable of displaying
HDR and HDR+ content the display resolution is 3120 by 1440 and has 516
gorgeous pixels per inch. Now in total there are almost 4.5 million pixels
and each are running at the 90 Hertz refresh rate meaning that each individual
pixel is capable of being updated ninety times per second making for the
silky smooth images along with a fluid user experience.
Now the only downside here is that the fluid MLA display on the 1 plus
7 Pro will ruin you from wanting to use another screen. Other than this
this is going to be in the same way that fork content ruined you from ever
being able to watch or consume standard definition video again. This is
something that you truly have to see in person to fully appreciate the
impact of it. The 1 plus 7 Pro features an optical fingerprint reader that's
been working majority the time for me and it hasn't been difficult to find
this location due to its covering a larger surface area than what was found
on previous versions.
The biggest opportunities that previous OnePlus devices had was in the camera department,
but one plus is hoping to address that with the OnePlus 7 Pro.
First you're going to find a 16 megapixel ultra wide lens, a 48 megapixel
standard lens and an 8 megapixel telephoto lens on the back of the device
in a vertical orientation. This triple lens setup should be versatile enough
for most smartphone photographers in a number of different lighting conditions.
Let's take a look at a few sample photos from the rear camera that I took
during golden hour.
If you want to see more photos make sure that you're following me on Instagram @caputo
where I post regularly using a number of different smartphones including
the OnePlus 7 Pro.
Here are those same photos once again. Now for the most part those photos
are exposed well maybe just a tad too dark. But again they do look good
for the most part not as contrast or spongy is something that you would
see out of the Pixel. There's good detail in the flower petals and even
good separation from the background in portrait mode. Here are a couple
more from the back camera. Again looking good but the camera does seem
to be struggling where the darker parts of the tree are. Now additionally
it is worth noting that the 1 plus 7 Pro does fix the fisheye edges when
the images are captured in ultra wide. Let's switch to the front facing camera.
Now speaking of, if you are interested in a camera comparison between the P
ixel 3, The OnePlus 7 Pro, and the Galaxy S10, make sure you subscribe
because that video is gonna be dropping soon
Outside these core features, there are several other nice to haves including
finely tuned haptic motor which is response for delivering system wide feedback.
It works awesome Apple you need to take note here because the bar has been raised.
There is the inclusion of warp 30 charging which almost made me forget
about wireless charging. There is a first party screen recorder the ability
to hide unwanted or unneeded apps from the launcher and really just kind
of the overall speed and responsiveness of oxygen OS. I mean this is a
finely tuned machine. Additionally there are a wealth of customizations
like the fingerprint I.D.
animations, the system UI accent colors, the screen color calibrations
and choosing what icons you want displayed in status bar; OnePlus has
really has thought of everything.

Now all of that praise, the phone is far from perfect and does have some
significant drawbacks especially when it's compared against other devices
at the same price point in the premium device category. There are a number
of great features on the S10e and the iPhone XR that really could be worth
the price of admission depending on what problem you are trying to solve.
There's the water resistance certification which the OnePlus 7 Pro lacks.
There's the 3.5mm jack, there is expandable storage on the S10
There's wireless charging which is on the S10e and the iPhone XR in addition to
wireless power sharing. Now for the time being the OnePlus 7 Pro has each
set and the competitive pricing to become the daily driver for many people
including myself.
But time will tell how it fares against other flagship devices that address
addresses weaknesses.
