this is definitely a flagship killer hi guys today we're gonna do a full review
of the one plus six after using it as daily driver for two months I'm gonna go
ahead and talk about stuff that I like about it and also stuff I don't like
about it so let's go do this baby
okay guys can you tell which one is the actual one plus six this is an LG G
seven then Q this is a galaxy s nine and this is the one plus six in terms of
design V one plus six looks beautiful from the back or from the front but
those of you who don't know it is also the thinnest phone out of all these
three flagships you can go look up the specs but you can see it's thinner than
the s9 it is thinner than the LG G seven now here's the kicker it has bigger
screen size than both of these and also it is bigger than the galaxy s 9 plus
all right so I don't usually consider one plus products a flagship but I
believe this year they have quickly created a flagship killer this is
definitely a flagship in my opinion just think of it like this
if you wanted to get the finished smartphone this you're out in 2018 that
also has the biggest screen one plus six is your answer that's six point two
eight inches almost no bezels of course you probably don't like the knotch
I'm not going to go into the knots too much you can hide the notch if you want
I'm not a really fan of knotch again I'm not gonna go into it because a lot of
other people doing it even LG's doing knotch
if you absolutely don't like the knots I guess it's not for you alright this is
actually my favorite phone now I did get this phone for free I actually asked one
plus if they can send me a review model but that's not gonna affect my review in
any way I did not get paid in any way from oneplus usually with oneplus
products I'm pretty satisfied with them but this year with the one plus six I am
actually wowed especially at the thinness and how large the screen is
because I prefer a sort of a large screen than a smaller screen so it's got
a bigger screen than the g7 and the s9 and the s-line plus so makes it a very
sweet spot while it's super thin now the reason why I started using this even
more these days because I started playing golf more these days I'm trying
to train my daughter to go to golf tournaments so you know when you play
golf or any other sports having something fan in your
pocket something light in your pocket always helps especially golf because
having heavy or large or big phones in your pocket sometimes wears your pants
down so obvious solution is just leave it in your golf bag all right that's
what I usually do but since the one plus six has an awesome 240 frames per second
slow motion you know I wanted to use my phone to take slow-motion videos of my
daughter and out of all these this actually has the best slow motion in my
opinion I'm not talking about the super slow-mo on the s9 which is very fun but
it's sort of gimmicky and you can only get like a split seconds of slow-motion
for super slow-mo and that comes at the cost of losing a lot of image quality I
really dig the slow-motion to show you actually all right this is a 240 frames
per second that I've been taking I've been literally taking hundreds of these
shots but the image looks great it comes out in very good 1080p quality now you
can do this on the s9 but I did have a comparison between the s9 and the 1 + 6
1 + 6 in my opinion is slightly better so I really love this feature and also I
really loved their editing software so after you take the slow-motion you can
slow down the whole footage like that which will slow down the whole footage
or maybe you only want to slow down a section of it now with super slo-mo you
cannot re-edit where you want to slow it down so this makes it great for
uploading for example to Instagram let's say you want to cut this video to the
beginning of the swing and let's say you want to slow down the impact to this
finish and boom alright and then you want to end it there you can go ahead
and drag this over and save and it saves the videos so fast
using the ufs storage i'll try to give you a compilation of all the slow motion
shots that I've been taking of my daughter man the images looks so great
I've been just literally using this on every hole alright especially for
golfers this can I help you analyze your golf swing
or maybe you play some kind of other sports that require analyzing your
sports action using slow motion this is it and I did on July 4th a very good
fireworks video and it looks just beautiful at 240 frames per second now
you do that with super slow-mo you're gonna lose a lot of resolution I feel
like the sweet spot right now for all the smartphones running Snapdragon 845
is the 240 frames per second because you get much higher quality with super
slow-mo you can't get continuous action but with one plus six you can get up to
a full minute of slow motion I mean just look at that it looks beautiful I'm sure
there's a lot of applications for slow motion but if you love slow motion this
is definitely the phone together now in terms of portrait mode you get both for
front and back both that work very well and of course if you need manual mode
it's got it too I really like the dials I very very easy controls for manual
controls if you use manual control often you're gonna love it
in terms of picture quality out of the 1 plus 6 compared to pixel 2 which I also
have video at comparison of the 1 plus 6 keeps up quite fine to the king of
smartphone photography so you're gonna be able to take very good photos with
the 1 plus 6 almost on par with both the galaxy s 9 the g7 and especially pixel 2
and also if you do install the Google ACR plus camera you're gonna be able to
take excellent photos so if you're worried about camera no worries this has
one of the best cameras along with one of the best slow-motion if not the best
alright next let's talk about performance this has 8 gigs of ram all
right it has more RAM than any other smartphone on the market today oneplus
has built this to be super fast they even disable some of the animations to
be quicker apart from that switching between apps
is literally instance alright which I really really love if you're a gamer it
also has game mode if you hate lag if you hate the Samsung UI if you don't
the LG UI if you don't like all of that lag where that manufacturers put on one
plus six is definitely the way to go one plus six UI is basically oxygen the OS
for those of you don't know now this is built on pretty much pure Android you
can consider it pure Android and instead of adding more UI layers that slow down
your phone one plus six has actually optimize it for performance so in terms
of performance this is a fastest smartphone on the market today period
now of course for the eight gigs of ram you're gonna have to spend a little bit
more because the basic version only comes with six gigs of ram i would
definitely go for the 128 gigabyte model which i have here or the 256 gigabyte
model which comes with eight gigs of ram now one thing i don't like about the 1
plus 6 is that it has no micro SD card out of all the phones out there there's
only two companies that don't have micro SD card
it's the pixel phones and the oneplus phones I don't know why you guys do this
just put a micro SD card I think people will like it more I think it's essential
at this point think of it this way as some of you guys know recently I took
the galaxy s 9 plus 2 saltwater and I fry the motherboard and I lost
everything in my internal storage now the good thing is I had the micro SD
card and all of my photos and videos were taken in the micro SD card so even
though my phone died I was able to recover all my photos and videos by
simply taking the micro SD card out so it has uses now 1 plus 6 does have ufs
2.1 which is very fast for the internal storage i'm guessing that's probably the
reason why so everything runs a lot faster a micro SD on the other hand is a
lot slower but again adding the micro SD card I think is crucial to flagships
these days especially considering that one plus 6 doesn't offer unlimited
storage like Google pixel phones at least Google offers you free cloud
storage for your photos and videos and original resolution for like 2 years
which adds value to that phone but one plus 6 does not have a micro SD card and
also considering that this is not really a phone that sell out Best Buy or you
know a local store where you can go ahead and repair your phone having that
micro SD card could save a lot of users in case they break their phone
they're gonna still be able to save their photos and videos okay what else I
don't like about the one plus six man this has been going on for the last
three four years ever since one plus one came out
no 1440p resolution Wow for those of you who enjoy 1440p content
especially on youtube like myself if you consume a lot of 1440p you can totally
tell difference between 1080p and 1440 people we've had this discussion many
times and that's one of the things I don't like about it because I run
everything else in 1440p with these guys and I love the extra resolution it gives
me now this phone is targeted at a lot of Indian markets Chinese markets where
I hear they don't really watch 1440p but for a lot of us in the u.s. we love
1440p just having that little extra resolution for watching YouTube
especially it's missing only one plus six so I think one plus six will
eventually go 1440p but if you need the highest resolution screen that's the
only thing this fails out and pretty much every flagship now supports 1440p
this is the only one that doesn't but like I said for most of you maybe it's
not a problem for you but for me I think that's the only thing missing from this
phone all right let's move on to customization now this phone is one of
the best phones that you could route and install custom roms on now I've already
got mine routed with majestic route running flawless and even safety net
checking flawless which means I can run rooted apps that check for route hide
route and I can also run google pay if I want to with route for those of you
gamers out there if you like to use a lot of game tools like game hacks and
stuff a lot of those apps do require routes all right so if you're a gamer
this is the perfect phone and also if you need to use the game X you can route
it easy let me show you an example that I've been doing I've been playing a lot
of roblox which is sort of a kids game with my daughter and this is an app
called touch micro that allows you to make macros alright so once I start this
let's say I'm playing a game okay let's say I am playing B simulator which is a
really popular game on roblox I play with my daughter every night and the
purpose of this game is to collect honey I'm collecting honey right now or Poland
but this gets very repetitive a lot of this stuff is just clicking so if I just
stay here and just click that it's gonna actually make me honey
now with this game hack that requires route I can simply hit record and I can
go ahead and record some of my actions let's say go right hit go left hit and
I'm gonna hit stop and I can literally let the game play by itself I know this
is cheating but you know I'm a busy guy but I do want to you know play and keep
up with my daughter but my daughter plays like five times more than I do and
let's say I'm at level five she's got like level fifty and also I'm getting
old and you know repetitive tasks like this my hands get really tired after
like 20 minutes um so I started using this macro for these repetitive stuff I
mean I still have to play the game it's gonna save me these extras touches or
for example let's say you don't want to keep hitting the button then you can go
ahead and just record your hitting the button and then just repeat that and
that way I don't have to keep pressing that button I can just go ahead and use
the controls alright it's sort of semi cheating but that's one thing rooted
phones can do for you I'll have a full video on how to do this but you get the
idea why rooted phones are great and especially because this phone is built
for gaming you're gonna have best of both worlds and you do not void warranty
with fake one plus when you root your phone all rights one plus as a company
fully supports rooting this is an ultimate gamers phone all right now as
far as a fingerprint sensor it works very very fast very very fast
okay battery life is also excellent now one thing good about this phone is that
because it doesn't have 1440p it only runs in 1080p you're gonna save a ton of
battery life battery life is very very long I'm not the issues with it now the
- charging is another problem if you do not use one plus six products only maybe
you bought quick charge compatible chargers everywhere
- charge is not compatible but the good thing is that they do sell - charge car
charger there's one manufacturer that actually makes - USB power bank so I'll
put the links in the description if you guys need him
and also I've actually ordered it so I'll have a review on that so you could
solve that problem that way in terms of - charge it is so fast compared to quick
charge 3.0 it probably charges about the same or slightly faster to charge - a
hundred percent charging for only ten minutes - charge is gonna give you like
20 percent faster charge so - charge is very fast if not faster than quick
charge so you won't have problems quick charging in this phone now that's it for
today but I want to point out one more thing that you may have to worry about
oneplus did send me some nice cases this is the oneplus official case and what
happened was the other day I dropped it while walking my dog and the hills by my
house are very steep they're almost at this angle anyway let me give you a
close up here and this case was actually able to save my phone I got a little
scratch there and a pretty big scratch there so in terms of accessories cases
it's not the most popular phone so you may have hard time finding a good case
but I would definitely buy a thicker case to really protect it so yeah this
is not the most popular phone you're not gonna find as much aftermarket parts for
it for example if you broke the screen on the g7 or the s9 you could go to the
mall they have that phone repair shop you pay them like 200 bucks or whatever
and they'll fix it for you with this phone you're not gonna be able to do
that you may have to send it back to one plus you may have to find some parts on
eBay if it does exist so you may have to really be careful to not crack the phone
or buy a thicker case for extra protection okay I want to end the review
here I know there are other things to cover but you can obviously watch some
other YouTube video that covers every little detail I don't want to really
cover all that I just want to cover what I really liked about it to wrap it up I
really like how thin it is I really like how big the screen is six point two
eight inches in terms of thinness - screen real estate this is the thinnest
phone with the largest screen which is what
you want something fan in your pocket something as big as you can get so
really like that again slow motion the camera is very good of course UI is very
fast lack free performance is very very good easy routes of course price price
is much higher than in the past but it's still about hundred bucks cheaper than
both of these all right now for those who don't know price on these Samsung
Galaxy S nine has come down I got this for like I think 600 both of these for
like 600 or 650 s somewhere in their range but you can get this about 550 so
in terms of price this is the best deal on a flagship phone this year I think
and of course the things that I mentioned in this video if that doesn't
bother you stuff that I don't like about it then definitely I think this phone is
for you but I really love the 1 plus 6 this is actually one of my main daily
drivers I carry this everywhere this is definitely my go-to phone anyway I got
to actually go golf and I got to take more slow-motion videos of my daughter's
golfing to help her with golf hit the thumbs up for me if you enjoyed this
video if you're new to my channel and you want more videos like this
definitely hit the subscribe button and make sure your notification bell is on
so you get notifications on your phone have a great day and as always stay oh
this is definitely a flagship killer
