OnePlus 5 review: The OnePlus 5T is even better with no price increase 10
I was seriously considering this. Although I'd like to replace my opo at this point.

All that said, wouldn't have upgraded if I hasn't smashed my 3 and I stand by that. That's the official way, the T model is on the same software support circle as the base model. It requires extra dexterity. One plus one mobile price in india and features Nobody said there was a problem. Hard to watch someone so smarmy get simple details wrong.

More gimmicky than secure, probably a lot less than Apple's version. The downsides to note are no more soft touch on screen buttons, same capacity battery despite larger screen and slightly bigger body including larger camera bump. Not that I thought it would.

But Dave also said he had the phone for a few days. Plus he even called out OnePlus for their camera decision and facial recognition feature, so he's clearly not bending over backwards for them. It seems like the best option with current specs. Was more wondering about other camera improvements.

21.02.2018 - The thing with OnePlus now is they rely upon Oppo building and progressing their phone. I have a 3T and was going to upgrade to the 5T assuming it was physically similar to the 5. Please submit bug reports and feature requests to the AOSP tracker. VR would be useless with 5t because of p screen? This seems lika a half-assed attempt. Say goodbye to affordable flagship, friendly on American soil with near stock Android?

I'm waiting for Tmobile to roll out band 71, so the OP5 is fine for me. Tmo is converting band 2 to LTE, so I needed to upgrade. Low frequency LTE band mhz. Meaning further range and better building penetration.
This will allow T-mobile to compete with Verizon in rural coverage, and do better than all carriers in metro areas. It's not super fast, and in some cases T-mobile is still waiting for TV stations to turn off their analog broadcasts because they are on overlapping frequencies, but I'm also personally holding out until I see a great phone that supports this as a standard feature.
Something like that, but then they can do fancy things like use wider frequency bands something like 20mhz since LTE bands are a spectrum and carrier aggregation which is just a fancy way of saying they will use multiple bands at once and combine the speeds for faster throughput.
Meanwhile 5 and 5T still using Qualcomm X12 which is in last year's flagship. I still dont understand how they are using an x12 withe the since I was under then impression that the modem and processor, and radios for that matter, were all on the same chip.
Qualcomm puts the x16 with the OnePlus known for crapping out the modem since OnePlus 3. In Qualcomm's page, it says X12 meanwhile in reality it's only X8 and it sucks especially for those who have high speed internet package.
X16 on is actually the best package Qualcomm offered. Manufacturers can modify almost all components inside including modem. Whether the lack of Band 71 is an issue for you depends on how long you keep your phones and where you live.
They're rolling out in 11 markets by the end of the year, but if you're not in one of those markets it's probably not coming until In the Northeast for example only Central PA is getting it sooner.
Thanks, but it still works fine if I'm being honest. A few stutters and hangups here and there, but the battery is still fine. My father would've gotten it if I switched phones, but it looks like he's gonna have to wait for another year.
I think I'll finally be putting my opo to rest and replacing it with the 5T, it might not be a massive upgrade on the 5 but it certainly is compared to the one. Yeah, I have to think about it as well.
I wish it had a bigger battery. I'm gonna wait for the reviews about both phones. Exactly in the same boat. People are saying the camera isn't great, but it's definitely a huge improvement from my OPO.
Battery on the OPO is getting terrible. The range is huge. It's much much farther and you can transit more data. Also, the 5 seems to make the most of its battery capacity so maybe this isn't as bad as it seems.
The Oneplus 5 already had one of the best if not the best flagship battery life. I don't think we should worry about that. The camera on the other had was the biggest flaw and I guess that won't change.
Not that I thought it would. Umm the second camera is new and no longer telephoto. I'll be waiting on reviews before making snap judgements. With a bigger screen you should need a bigger battery though, as the screen uses a very considerable amount of energy.
Given the great battery life of the 5, you likely won't notice this in day to day use. Well, can't say I'm not underwhelmed given OP is hyping this release and the constant rumors of Oreo right out of the box.
Looking at this phone and the Razer phone, which looks promising. It sucks how they still don't use QHD screens. I was thinking of upgrading mainly for small bezels and better screen but it's still p and I feel OP3 still performs amazing.
The battery is actually smaller considering the bigger screen, if you're really going to analyze it. Should I get this as an upgrade to the 3? Has anyone upgraded from the 3 to the 5 and notice a big difference?
I was considering it too but I've decided against it. The main reason being that we're already more than half way through the yearly Snapdragon cycle. If you buy the OP5T now, coming from a OP3, you're essentially doing an annual upgrade in terms of specs.
If you wait another six months you'll have two years worth of improvements. Upgraded because I smashed my 3's screen and didn't think it was worth the repair cost. Main difference is battery life, the battery is genuinely tonnes better - I'd estimate straight up twice as good for my use although not that that's going from 11 month old 3 to new 5.
Gone from 3 hours screen time in a day tops to making over 6 hours on the one day I ran the battery down before I went to bed - I've literally never charged this phone during the day once and I'd consider myself a heavy user regularly over 3 hours screen time, would charge my 3 in the middle of the day every day.
Also the camera is noticeably better than the 3, I know people give it shit but I love the camera. I'd much rather take this "USB 2 nonsense" over a phone that doesn't come with a headphone jack.
I mean you already have dash charge and I'm pretty sure being usb 2. I'd much rather take "slow" transfer speeds over something that doesn't support my HD's or M50x's anymore. There's definitely a noticeable difference in battery life.
That's about it if I'm being honest. If you have extra cash laying around, then sure. I updated so I could get band 66 LTE on my network. Otherwise I would have kept my OP3. I say wait for the next phone and hope they get rid of the Pentile display for something more crisp.
Also, for further hardware improvements. The OP3 and OP5 just feel way too damn similar in everyday use. I mean, buy the phone if you want a new phone, keep your phone if you're ok with it.
I feel like a lot of people feel that their existing phone will become worse if they don't jump to 5T. Why would anyone considered OP5 as a OP3 user? I am serious, it doesn't make sense for me All you get is slighty higher overall specs, that's not imho worth switching phone.
Oneplus 3 is still kicking good: Maybe it's just me, I'm a frugal person in technology Unfortunately, looks like all it is is a slightly larger screen. But with the difference being only one thing, should make early adopters of the 5 less angry than owners of the 3 when the 3T came out.
But I doubt they'll keep the 5 around. Justifies keeping the price the same at least, while at the same time combating Samsung's lack of screens for the OP5. I have a 3T and was going to upgrade to the 5T assuming it was physically similar to the 5.
I really hate the idea of the rear fingerprint sensor so it looks like I'll have to see what the 6 looks like. And the 4K EIS on the 5 is pretty solid. The modded G cam's stabilization is amazing.
I wonder if they have done anything to improve the touch responsiveness in the 5T. I have a op3 and there is a noticeable delay compared to iPhone and pixel. It'd be nice if they did.
I went from a Nexus 6 to OP5 and immediately noticed it. Thought my glass screen protector might've been the culprit, but no. I just bought a Pixel 2 xl and that responsiveness is back.
I do have to admit that it is a very small difference, but it always seemed like scrolling was just a half step behind my actions. OP5T is not a new generation. It's nearly the same phone as the 5T and on the same software support circle.
Now I gotta think it over. That's a really solid phone with a better screen. Some really solid reasons are given. I could also do without ip68 as I have no need for it. As you say, it is not just that the physical location of the thing is poor, the actual scanner is slow and inaccurate.
It is nowhere near as good as the OP3 scanner. Samsung really need a kick up the arse for it and I am surprised this has not had the bad publicity it deserves. Exactly what I said on the Galaxy sub, and I was downvoted to hell.
But it's true, the S8 fingerprint reader is shit compared to my previous 3T one. Slower and less accurate, and the location is utter shir. Good news, since they will probably support software updates a bit more, given that they'd have to abandon 2 phones instead of 1.
Think they will guarantee two major releases as updates, so that means android O and P will be supported but android Q probably won't. I'm a little disappointed to be honest. If its going to be cheaper then i might consider buying it.
I'm still waiting for a OnePlus phone that has a sensor on that is at least on par with the Nexus 5X. Switching from that to my OnePlus 3T was a huge downgrade.
I hope the GPS actually works. My opo and now op3t have shit GPS, just got lost in Atlanta because it refused to update. The secondary sensor is updated from a f2. Apart from the bigger screen the only other mentionables are Bluetooth 5.
The downsides to note are no more soft touch on screen buttons, same capacity battery despite larger screen and slightly bigger body including larger camera bump. Thanks, although I knew most of this already actually!
Was more wondering about other camera improvements. But you are saying slightly higher performance, do you mean FP performance? As I cant imagine that they can push much more out of the without dropping more frames.
Like the Pixel 1 underclocked its CPU to make it more consistently smooth, and personally is already fast enough, I care more about smoothness than speed. I was referring to the soc performance, which benchmarks slightly higher in geekbench in both multi and single threaded score.
I think this means it has higher average clockspeed or it can trim those if thermals allow. Snappiness will be similar to the 5 where it should be unbeaten by all phones, even the new pixel 2! A screen isn't the only battery drain in a phone, it's part of the bigger picture.
Battery size is decent enough too. Better than the 2. This whole "merging pixels" thing is why it's supposedly going to be better in low light. The camera lenses switch to the secondary if the scene is dark enough, that's where it'll give better results.
You're claiming it switching the secondary camera to 1. So switching between primary and secondary you're keeping the same aperture. The reason the secondary is supposedly going to be better in lowlight is because of the 20MP sensor with the "pixel merging technology" which is essentially going to produce a 5MP image.
That is what, in theory, will be better in low light. There was pixel merging to an extent on the 5 using the secondary to help if I'm right, which only slightly aiding in low light. But that secondary lens was a larger focal length giving it better optical zoom.
I kinda think the secondary camera is going to be kind of a bust. I think they're still trying to figure out what to do with the second camera and this is a strange attempt. We'll have to see some more tests when they come out.
I still really like the 5T. I think it looks fantastic the thiness of the 5 is seriously fantastic already. Add the edge to edge display and it's already awesome.
That's where you always feel the pricetag when compared to flagships. Also every reviewer talks about the low light camera but none actually shows pictures taken in low light How hard is it to close the curtains?
Not exactly in a hospital. He works in the installment of the tech, construction etc that are used in hospitals. Its easy to test it with picture from a printer or even put face from any video on PC and face the mobile showing the picture but obviously they are keeping something to make full review video.
Any reviews with camera samples? Just a few samples from Mashable which don't look so good to me, especially the "low"-light one, but are few and resized and a comment on Android Police.
I don't really have my hopes up, but who knows. It's in German but it's something. Looks like the 20mp low light censor isn't great. Low light still is bad. I was seriously considering this.
Dear previous One Plus owners: How quickly do software and security patches tend to roll out on these devices? I'm really tempted to order one on the 21st. I grabbed one, and I'm going to mull it over a bit longer while it is in transit.
Worth mentioning though, my bone stock 2 is still kicking ass, more or less. And the 2 is the weak link of those phones. Anecdotes aren't reliable, of course, but personally I'm not too worried about longevity from oneplus.
Not all updates come with a new security patch. Just something to be aware of. They are usually pretty good about updates. They tend to happen once every other month or something like that for an OTA build.
If that's not fast enough for you, they have an open beta program that anyone can join, where the updates for that are more like once or twice a month, but may include some bugs. If you get in on the beta versions, I've been getting updates maybe once a month to 2 months.
Stable versions maybe every 3 months ish. I have an op3t. Launched with nougat less than a year ago and apprently Oreo is the final update for this phone. Although I'd like to replace my opo at this point.
Who are the reliable reviewers again? I like browsing for reviews all the time, both video and articles, but some of them are just plain redundant, or add no value, or too disconnected with the viewers.
There are video reviews that are plain click bait and are a waste of mobile data to be honest, while there are articles that are boring because they add nothing new, or are based on opinion yet portrayed as unequivocal.
I am looking for a list of the most reliable ones both in video and in text. Why the "RIP" for Anandtech? Because they were sold, or just because they had a bunch of smartphone editors leave recently, or something else?
I usually like to read reviews more than watch them though, so my usual go-to is GSMarena. Most of the time, their reviews seem pretty in-depth and yet not too saturated with technical jargon, so a non-techie could understand easily.
I also like Devicespecifications, they usually review Chinese phones from lesser-known companies Doogee, Elephone, Ulefone, Ouiktel but they're very detailed and well written. I like Erica griffin review not up yet, she has a good balance of details, personal opinions, data and for interesting or top phones she will come back and do a review months later to let you know if things have changed.
But everyone has their own opinions, personally I think MKBHD contributes next to nothing for enthusiasts most people on this sub would get that title and flossy is no better than handing a random dude a spec sheet and the phone for an hour.
Im sure my opinions will piss people off, but clearly some people like those types of reviews. You're darn right about mkbhd and floss. Mkbhd is literally a shill and, as much as I love floss, floss is just a man with a phone.
He's becoming a broken record. Does his DBrand advertising really bother people? I swear so many of the reviewers I watch are supported by DBrand. Do they actually sponsor his videos? It doesn't really bother me, buy it's weird since he never mentions it.
But since he doesn't review phone skins it doesn't influence the credibility of his reviews, so I don't mind. I swear people on this sub are some of the most entitled fuckers I've ever seen. They want reviews to be free, want YouTubers to put out videos of high quality and quantity, but when those YouTubers try to make a living by adding a 10 second dBrand plug?
Notebookcheck always has the best reviews. The data they gather goes far beyond other review sites. Droid Life is good when it comes to both written and video reviews. They don't try to please any manufacturer and they don't rush to push out reviews like other outlets.
It seems like the best option with current specs. Looks like the XDA one is up as well now. Linus said the amoled display on the 5t is a first. Wasn't it the optic amoleds on the 3 or whatever?
Certainly not the 5t. Hard to watch someone so smarmy get simple details wrong. Why is there so much hype over this phone? It's got flagship specs at Nexus price.
It's close to stock Android, and has a headphone jack. It's basically Reddits dream phone. Oneplus has been around way longer than years though. Oneplus One came out in April and there was quite a bit of hype around it.
In the Two was kinda a piece of shit so there was a lot of chatter about it too but in a bad way. Then we got the Three in Spring and 3T in Fall both of which were great. I guess my point is - even if you're on the market once every 2 or 3 years, you should have heard about them by now.
The OPX is actually a really nice device. The unfortunate part is that OP ended support for it 10 months in. My girlfriend loved that phone, unfortunately the battery and small memory had its issues.
The phone held crazy good value though, we sold it on Craigslist the Danish version for dollars this summer. Yeah, SD was not a great chip in any device.
It's not a commonly used feature, but it sure is handy when it is used. It does almost everything right outside of some niche feature requests like wireless charging, quad HD, waterproof except for great low light photography which may have been improved with the 5T..
It's not officially IP rated but can probably survive a fall into a load of water which is what most phones are realstically waterproofed for. OnePlus phones have great support from the community considering costum ROMs.
Softwarewise you can expect it to last very long. You can look it up. For example the first OnePlusOne has Android nougat because of lineage os, with the newest security updates.
The official updates might stop in like 2 years. But that's not stopping the phone from getting new updates with other ways. But how often are you watching a movie on your phone compared to regular I am really not that immersed in youtube videos to care about black bars pillars?
Especially since smartphones these days are mostly fixed in their width, and all extra height you gain doesn't affect Well, maybe that is true for the 5T. But for Pixel 2 XL vs Nexus 6, the height is almost exactly the same but the Nexus 6 is a lot wider even though they are both measured 6 inches diagonally.
I'd rather have an actually large screen than this only numerically large screen. Also tall phones are quite awkward to use because you usually don't use the very top of your phone anyway unless got the status bar, in which case it is now harder to reach.
Now, reach-distance may be a valid complaint, but you're wrong to say it's a smaller screen. That is only the result of bezelless. You can have bezelless I don't know how much more clearly I can explain that you're not getting some "shitty" downgrade in screensize or aspect ratio.
Much faster, both are unsecure versions that can be fooled with picture. OP uses the same method as trusted face but on pickup it turns camera and searches your face, so when you press power it instantly goes to home screen.
It has bigger angle at which it can recognize which probably further reduces security, but you can't use sensitive data as payment or locked up information with it, you need to use finger print sensor for that.
Was it the 5 that had the weird wobbly screen that was upside-down? Did the fix that with the 5t? Plus he even called out OnePlus for their camera decision and facial recognition feature, so he's clearly not bending over backwards for them.
Android is perfectly usable on 4, but there is a difference going to 6 and even from 6 to 8, as seen in OnePlus 5 model comparison videos. The jump isn't drastic, but it is there.
I've been waiting for a great phone to come out for over six months now, and I think I've resigned myself to getting the OP5T. I was going to get the OP5, but the Jelly scroll turned me off.
I was going to wait for the Pixel 2, but the price and lack of a headphone jack was a big no. The S8 is alright, but I hate the UI. I'm tempted to wait for the Nokia 9, but there doesn't seem to be much info about it yet, and by the time it comes out OP will probably start talking about the 6.
Assuming the jelly scroll is gone, and no immediate issues arise in the next few weeks I think I'll give in and go for the 5T. I'd say it's a great standard in flagship devices that does not excel in any particular department besides price.
Yeah but that's a big one. Also it has a headphone jack, no annoying curved screen edges, no notch in the screen If its camera was better it would be the perfect phone. It's close as is.
But can someone correct me if I'm wrong? VR would be useless with 5t because of p screen? The OP5 could survive unofficial dunk tests reliably. If you drop your phone in water it'll probably survive.
It doesn't have any IP rating though. Is it a must? I've never killed a phone via water. And I watch Netflix in the bath with my phone. I had always watched those Phish Rain concerts and I wanted to be in one desperately.
You're cold, miserble, and you can barely hear anything cause half the speakers are turned off. Is everyone a freaking underwater photographer to be needing waterproofing? If you arent a fish every phone can survive some splashes.
Go take a bath. Nobody said there was a problem. IP ratings on phones have become standard, especially as of Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy.

Was more wondering about other camera improvements. But you are saying slightly higher performance, do you mean FP performance? As I cant imagine that they can push much more out of the without dropping more frames.
Like the Pixel 1 underclocked its CPU to make it more consistently smooth, and personally is already fast enough, I care more about smoothness than speed.
I was referring to the soc performance, which benchmarks slightly higher in geekbench in both multi and single threaded score. I think this means it has higher average clockspeed or it can trim those if thermals allow.

We'll have to see some more tests when they come out. I still really like the 5T. I think it looks fantastic the thiness of the 5 is seriously fantastic already. Add the edge to edge display and it's already awesome.
That's where you always feel the pricetag when compared to flagships. I feel you may be right, hopefully they'll tweak it with software to give us something useful. I would have much preferred a wide angle and a telephoto for great zoom, with decent enough aperture for low light.
I really really hope Treble support is added, this will put minds at ease about support in the future. One more area is the battery, where I hope the included battery is good enough despite a an increase in capacity.
Unless they have a crop to fit option like Samsung. Sure, you lose a little on the top and bottom, but it'll still fit the whole screen. If anything this looks more like a downgrade to the 5 than an upgrade..
Bigger screen, same battery which needs to supply a bigger screen. No IP certification, fingerprint sensor on the back, capacitive buttons gone.. Hopefully my 5 will last me a few years.
When Oreo has been lanched since August Are they f-ing stupid? What possible reason can they give for this? The thing with OnePlus now is they rely upon Oppo building and progressing their phone.
The reason they've done the T is because Oppo wanted to do a bigger screened phone, and OnePlus couldn't say no. If Oppo build a great phone next with a poorer than 5 or 5T camera, will OnePlus change it?
No, I don't think so. Chill breh, you want OnePlus to suck and go out of business Say goodbye to affordable flagship, friendly on American soil with near stock Android? I can stay a bit more with my Huawei p9.
Waiting for reviews and hands on is wise as we're not sure about quality of screen or state of battery management. The p9 is a solid phone, maybe the v10 with the kirin might leave a better taste.

Most people use the port for charging, not for data transfer. I mostly use Wi-Fi for data transfer. And technology for charing is the same, so Because that didn't really work to well imo. Also no 4x4 MIMO.
This isn't a bad phone. It is a OP5 stretch edition with hopeful no jelly screen. Just an upgraded network? Suppose I'll keep my OP3 for another year then. I just want a new phone.
Every phones has Bluetooth 5. Had my Nexus 5x stolen by a "friend" of mine who subsequently tried to have a screen repair shop unlock it for them. Got it back months after I'd considered it a loss!
Probably like pre kitkat days of facial recognition but with a much faster CPU so it unlocks like crazy. Theres never been a huge discussion of this, and that bothers me.
We have all these different forms of security, fingerprint scanners, 2d facial scanners, 3d mapped facial scanners, voice recognition, etc. We always compare the general technology, not the implementation.
And I honestly dont trust when smaller cheaper companies are somehow able to create fingerprint sensors that unlock faster or are more 'accurate' than billion dollar companies. Like, for a long time OnePlus was known for having a really good fingerprint sensor, but how do we know they werent sacrificing security by looking at less ridges or accepting more imperfections, while companies like samsung and apple were slower because they did put security first.
Its like lumping both quarterbacks and lineman in together as football players, while its true, they arent even close in what they actually do. While your general concern about technology versus implementation definitely holds true, regarding the fingerprint sensor you can rest assured that OnePlus did not just patch it together in their back yard.
They actually used a sensor by Fingerprint Cards AB, a swedish company that is known for two decades of providing sensors to a variety of electronics. Still, it's important to always raise doubt when in comes to privacy and security, so I'm just giving an insight on OnePlus here.
Other manufacturers might aswell use their own shoddy implementations. Something you know like a password, address, charge. Tends to be compromisable over the internet. Something you have like your phone, your face, your finger print tends to be stealable in close proximity.
They are both stealable. The goal of 2 factor is to have both so that someone has to compromise both to get access to your data. Im just saying that Biometrics alone like they are in phones are not as secure as someone who really needs to keep his data secured needs.
This is just a silly statement. Yeah yeah, we can talk about how biometrics are usernames not passwords, how you don't want a password you can never change, etc etc. Those are all valid discussions.
But acting like biometrics are not a key part of security for people of most regular risk profiles in our modern society is asinine. It absolutely is a security method. It has its weaknesses and is not right for all risk profiles, but this is true for every security methodology.
That's a good point. It uses the front camera. More gimmicky than secure, probably a lot less than Apple's version. Then again if you care about security you shouldn't be using biometrics at all.
Even the finger print took me a while to convince to use. It will be interesting to see what happens with Apple's implementation of face ID. I agree if it's about authorization.
If it comes down to just opening the phone, I guess biometric methods are good enough. He points out the rainbowing when you view it from the tilt it all the way to the side. My Pixel does the exact same thing.
I feel like OLEDs have been way overly hyped. I think in a good design the links shouldn't link to the source, but to its own post about the source possibly on its own review subreddit to reduce clutter.
But I'd settle for just header comments within this thread. They just made it a bit faster. Cause Apple now had Face ID they probably wanted to get on the hype train. Cause it uses the front camera and not other sensors it can be probably tricked with a photograph.
I'm mildly in the market to replace my Nexus 6p I just replaced the battery which has given it new life, so it's not immediate. Also considering a V30, or even an S8. If you haven't gotten your battery on your 6p replaced, OMG.
I got mine done for bucks you can do it yourself but it's a really picky repair, not meant for end users. It's a completely different phone now. It's the phone I always wanted the 6p to be! I replaced mine myself a couple months ago, and yes, it made a HUGE difference.
That and a full reset a few weeks ago including clearing the cache partition or whatever has really breathed new life into the phone. What was the difference in your screen on time?
I've been debating changing the battery vs getting a new phone. Is there any way to see historical SOT values? I just got done charging, so it's at 0 right now. Thanks for the tip. Dude the 5T is way ahead of the Essential The cameras though much improved with the recent updates are pretty inferior.
Still loving my new battery p6, but the screen does look clunky vs this beauty. At least in terms of actual real estate on the front. Mkbhd said that the oneplus uses "only software" to do portrait mode because both cameras have the same focal length.
I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. It should still be using both cameras for portrait mode and combining the two different viewpoints, even though they have the same focal length. Technically all portrait mode implementations on mobile are software.
Only dslr and similar with large sensor and aperture can do portrait mode via hardware. Yep, you're totally right. But he seemed to be saying that it was only using one of the two lenses and not leveraging both cameras for stereo.
To do that they would have to be segmenting the image, much like Google's convolutional neural network does on the front facing camera. Much easier to do parallax compare than the AI driven segmenting that google does.
This isn't exactly correct. Even on a phone with a small sensor, you can have real bokeh. It just depends on the distance between your subject and the camera, as well as your subject and the background.
Monochrome sensors from Huawei and Nokia can do portrait and they have the same focal lenght. More than that, Qualcomm explicitly advertises it as a SoC feature. He has requisite mistakes in each video.
If you catch both of them, you know you can implicitly trust whatever he says for the rest of the upload. I believe stereoscopic vision has nothing to do with focal lengths or colour.
It has more to do with the separation of the cameras. You can even 'sense depth' by moving the same camera over a lateral distance, since there is a stereoscopic disparity between the two images.
Focal length has nothing to do with the information of both sensors being combined per definition. Focal length doesn't mean that everything in that distance is focussed, it's the distance at which parallel light is focussed, like when you collect the sunlight with a lens.
Dave2d and mkbhd both said "the faceid is super fast but I haven't had the time to test it to see if it was accurate". But Dave also said he had the phone for a few days. Come on they could have tried to fool it with a picture it takes 5mn I trust them but it really sounded like something out of a "review guide".
Also every reviewer talks about the low light camera but none actually shows pictures taken in low light How hard is it to close the curtains? Not exactly in a hospital.
He works in the installment of the tech, construction etc that are used in hospitals. Its easy to test it with picture from a printer or even put face from any video on PC and face the mobile showing the picture but obviously they are keeping something to make full review video.
Any reviews with camera samples? Just a few samples from Mashable which don't look so good to me, especially the "low"-light one, but are few and resized and a comment on Android Police.
I don't really have my hopes up, but who knows. It's in German but it's something. Looks like the 20mp low light censor isn't great. Low light still is bad. I was seriously considering this. Dear previous One Plus owners: How quickly do software and security patches tend to roll out on these devices?
I'm really tempted to order one on the 21st. I grabbed one, and I'm going to mull it over a bit longer while it is in transit. Worth mentioning though, my bone stock 2 is still kicking ass, more or less.
And the 2 is the weak link of those phones. Anecdotes aren't reliable, of course, but personally I'm not too worried about longevity from oneplus. Not all updates come with a new security patch. Just something to be aware of.
They are usually pretty good about updates. They tend to happen once every other month or something like that for an OTA build. If that's not fast enough for you, they have an open beta program that anyone can join, where the updates for that are more like once or twice a month, but may include some bugs.
If you get in on the beta versions, I've been getting updates maybe once a month to 2 months. Stable versions maybe every 3 months ish. I have an op3t. Launched with nougat less than a year ago and apprently Oreo is the final update for this phone.
Although I'd like to replace my opo at this point. Who are the reliable reviewers again? I like browsing for reviews all the time, both video and articles, but some of them are just plain redundant, or add no value, or too disconnected with the viewers.
There are video reviews that are plain click bait and are a waste of mobile data to be honest, while there are articles that are boring because they add nothing new, or are based on opinion yet portrayed as unequivocal.
I am looking for a list of the most reliable ones both in video and in text. Why the "RIP" for Anandtech? Because they were sold, or just because they had a bunch of smartphone editors leave recently, or something else?
I usually like to read reviews more than watch them though, so my usual go-to is GSMarena. Most of the time, their reviews seem pretty in-depth and yet not too saturated with technical jargon, so a non-techie could understand easily.
I also like Devicespecifications, they usually review Chinese phones from lesser-known companies Doogee, Elephone, Ulefone, Ouiktel but they're very detailed and well written. I like Erica griffin review not up yet, she has a good balance of details, personal opinions, data and for interesting or top phones she will come back and do a review months later to let you know if things have changed.
But everyone has their own opinions, personally I think MKBHD contributes next to nothing for enthusiasts most people on this sub would get that title and flossy is no better than handing a random dude a spec sheet and the phone for an hour.
Im sure my opinions will piss people off, but clearly some people like those types of reviews. You're darn right about mkbhd and floss. Mkbhd is literally a shill and, as much as I love floss, floss is just a man with a phone.
He's becoming a broken record. Does his DBrand advertising really bother people? I swear so many of the reviewers I watch are supported by DBrand. Do they actually sponsor his videos? It doesn't really bother me, buy it's weird since he never mentions it.
But since he doesn't review phone skins it doesn't influence the credibility of his reviews, so I don't mind. I swear people on this sub are some of the most entitled fuckers I've ever seen.
They want reviews to be free, want YouTubers to put out videos of high quality and quantity, but when those YouTubers try to make a living by adding a 10 second dBrand plug?
Notebookcheck always has the best reviews. The data they gather goes far beyond other review sites. Droid Life is good when it comes to both written and video reviews. They don't try to please any manufacturer and they don't rush to push out reviews like other outlets.
It seems like the best option with current specs. Looks like the XDA one is up as well now. Linus said the amoled display on the 5t is a first. Wasn't it the optic amoleds on the 3 or whatever?
