Waited so long for ur OnePlus 5 review to drop by, its awesome sir!
Nice work Alex!
+Pranay Pathole thanks boss! Yeah, i was a bit lazy... Took me a while to get to it
Redskull hahaha alas its out lol
+Redskull not bit heavy lazy
+Redskull tell us frankly is it too low in sunlight
+Redskull tell us frankly is it too low in sunlight
Loved your detailed review! however the touchscreen latency you describe mainly in the context of the keyboard may be a misreading on your part. The legendary Swiftkey app has been acting up on some phones. See can find the issue in any other keyboards like the Google Indic Keyboard or even Fleksy?
don't get me wrong... depending on what phone you used before there is a very good chance that you will never notice that touch screen latency lag. if you haven't used the latest flagship phones from samsung , LG or apple you will never be able to tell. it was just a personal observation that i've always noticed with OnePlus devices
There isn't a touch latency problem. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Magnification gesture and turn it off. You have it enabled and that happens and loads of phones turn it off and your problem will be fixed. Please like this comment so he sees.
@Redskull Did this fix the issue or reduce the latency? Would be great help if you could let us know.
You are absolutely correct! Turn the magnification gestures off. The new update sets it off by default, I believe.
Good job Alex. When are you going to review some MiMix like phones? Greetings from Venezuela.
I am waiting for the Maze Alpha and another one Bluboo S1 or something like this...hopefully soon...
So many stuff I didn't knew about the OP5. This review explained everything. Very nice review!
Im glad it was useful :) Thanks for watching, appreciated!
I like it's Slimness n design! by the way, which Icon pack r u using? ... looks beautiful!
+Manjit Sarma i use a icon pack called Glif
Redskull ... and, is it free?
+Manjit Sarma i don't remember... Been a long time since i've been using it
To fix the typing thing change your keyboard or go into developer options and crank up the animation to 0.5
cool
+Redskull coo☺☺
Nice and honest review Alex. I'm happy to see a big youtuber not paid by OP. I appreciate the editing as well, quite a lot of work that is.
This video took me so long to make... i don't know why...but i started this morning at 10am...and i just finished at like 7PM. Thanks for watching man!
+Redskull good things take time. That's probably the best OP5 review I've seen so far, so keep it up man.
Thanks man!
Dear redskull, I currently have no touch latency issues but, I did however, experience this when I went into the accessibility options and enabled the three tap magnification gesture; once I switched it back off, the latency issue dissapeared, that may have been what you have been facing, also you can focus on close objects when you go into pro mode and use the manual focus.
Thanks for sharing
And there's no issue on touch screen latency on my OPO and OP5, and i am using it as my daily driver with no problem on typing at all. I don't know why every tech reviewer is saying this, even my colleague is not getting any issue on his device.
because you haven't used a Samsung S8 or S7 or whatever. The touch screens are so much better :) But if you've only used OnePlus phones you are used to it and you adapted to the screen's speed
Redskull overall nice review! But regarding the touch latency, coming from galaxy s7 exynos (used for 1+ year as my daily driver) i don't find it worse on the op5. Do you have the 3 fingers gesture for screenshots enabled? Or zoom accessibility?
Nix Caffery There is no issue you only have to disable the expansion button on the accesibilyty menu
Yes.. Latency issues there in Op5.. Like for your daughter.. Very cute
This is nonsense I've come from an S8+ and there is no noticeable touch latency on my Op5 over the S8. If anything the software lag on the S8 affects touch latency more.
Where did you use the phone? Which carriers? How is the call quality? Volume? Clarity?
I am using the phone with Fido, in Canada. Call quality excellent, volume could be better, but acceptable, clarity great
You can touch the screen and hold the focus for closeups. I haven't had a problem with it? Great review, thanks!
+Bogey's Garage everyone is used to do things differently. Thanks for checking out the video
+Redksull bro which icon pack and weather widget u r using plz tell me??
i am using an icon pack called Glif and the weather widget it's called Chronus
I really don't get why the oneplus 5 is getting so much hate.Other than it's copycat design it's the fastest phone with the fastest way of charging.Camera review was harsh in this video compared to other vids,but it has a solid camera.1080p display is just fine and most people won't even notice the difference if they were given a blind test.
it's probably getting hate because the price is higher and people were used to cheaper oneplus phones
Is the touch screen latency really that bad or is it due to certain settings being enabled? I just ordered mine a couple hours ago
+Chelcie P chances are you aren't gonna notice it. It's not as bad as i made it sound. It annoys me but i could eventually get used to it
Very detailed. This phone makes the 3T and ZTE axon 7 still look like flagship killers, a year later.
realistically... any flagship phone from last year it's a perfectly good phone.
Better looking isnt all that important to me. I rather have bigger bezels with a fingerprintsensor on the front.
I never noticed input lag on my Oneplus One. Could it be the used keyboard?
if you haven't used a phone that doesn't have the same touch screen latency you will not notice it because you are already used to it and it feels normal. It's not a defect, it's just a different type of screen used
Seen so many reviews but this is the best. Loved the fact of how you listed the issues with the one plus 5. Godbless u alex
Im glad you liked it! Thanks for watching boss!
Great review Alex 😉
hey Peter, thanks for watching!
this launcher is not have a gave of apps?
Excellent video Alex 👌
+Ramya Sree im glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)
For latency issues, I wonder how these phones will stack up against each other after a year's use. Most people only get new phones every 2 years. I switched from Samsung because of their laggy Touchwiz overlay and lack of updates. If I get a new Samsung right when it is released, I MAY get 1 year's worth of updates. Usually less. So the phone really starts to bog down. I used my OPO for 2 years and it had barely slowed down in all that time and was still getting OS updates. It had started to run a little hot on some games but I think it needed a good reset and it would have easily lasted another year (if I hadn't dropped it one too many times).
Awesome review Alex
For those who have jelly scrolling on thier OP5,is it really a deal breaker?Should I stop myself from buying one?
it's not noticeable
witch weather widget do you use on your review?
+שרון רוזנברג I use a weather app called chronus
I can't afford it anyway but that no sd card would be a killer if if I could, why do that?
Alex, you mention the decent music quailty, can you recommend any other cheaper devices with decent audio output please? Cheers.
Most cheaper xiaomi phones have great audio output
Thanks Alex. I was holding out for the Bluboo S1 but apparently it doesn't have a headphone socket, another no no for me.
The best front speakers and audio jack for me is still the king axon 7!
Great video Alex. Thank you. About time you started to review the completely wireless earphones soon please. I look forward to them. Thank you.
hmmm... any suggestions?
Really honest review, unlike every other reviewers in the internet.
please tell me what is the name of this them that you use it , i realy like it
Nova Launcher and the Glif Icon Pack
This is the best review I've seen. As a student this phone fits into my budget. Had a few queries which were cleared in this video.
it's still a great phone no matter what and super powerful as well
very nice and Great review Alex
Im glad you liked it!
what icon pack are u using in your oneplus 5?
i think i was using glif
Redskull okay thank you
Should I get this or the Xiaomi Mi6? And why?
+Ravi A I prefered the mi6. Feels more premium
Redskull Mi6 it is, then! Thank you!
How's the GPS?
very good, on par with other flagship devices
what icons are those
an icon pack called Glif
Redskull thank you 😂
Thanks for watching!
Redskull do you think lg G6 is better than oneplus 5. I am looking to purchase a phone need good camera and battery. I am using Nexus 5x which is one of the best cameras that I have seen, especially in low light. I don't want an iPhone. Do you feel oneplus will be better? Or be upgraded to Android p? Or should I go for honour or xiaomi or the world. Thanks a bunch
+ayush sharma I had the G6 and now i own the OP5 8GB. Srsly, get the Oneplus 5.
The wide angle camera on the G6 was nice buut the battery and perfomance was mediocre, at the best.
whats the name of the icon pack??
glif
Andy Rubin is behind Essential : He was nicknamed "Android" by his coworkers at Apple in 1989 due to a love of robots, with the nickname eventually becoming the official name of the Android operating system.
Nice, thanks for sharing!
Always my friend very good spec's
Is it worth to buy this phone? What about the jelly effect?
The jelly effect is not as bad as websites made it sound like
Awesome.
where is your spark review??? i keep pressing refresh but nothing!
Oneplus 5 or mi6?
Alex Thank you for your honest review, alhtough you are Pro Samsung S8 fan. hopefully Oneplus will improve the camera with their frequently update, what Samsung rarely does.
I wasn't a Samsung fan until the S7 Edge. They turned around and made thing better since than. The S8+ is a great phone (with a few issues)
What is the name of that icon pack?
+One punch Meme I use an icon pack called Glif
what is the icon pack?
i use an icon pack called Glif
What is the ICon pack on the OP5
also what weather widget ?
+Nikolay Naydenov glif icon pack and chronus for the widget
Icon pack?? And plz share wallpaper file
that is the glif icon pack
What about cell reception and call quality?
excellent, no complaints
I heard some reviewers complaining about the cell reception and wifi signal loss.. Is it fine in your opinion?
i had no issues with the call quality or the wifi on the op5, but it will depend on everyone's location of course
Thank you..
I've seen a lot of reviews on this phone but I feel you covered everything well. I'm a 3T owner and find this OP5 is clearly a fumble.
+SCREENPLAYHOUSE LLC im glad you liked it. Yeah, this is Not an upgrade from the 3T no matter what
You don't really listen to Despashito?
It was for the video :) i usually listen to online radio, so whatever is playing
I barely notice a difference.im using at Galaxy tab A so not much diff.
Good review..yes have friends who are having the typing latency issue its bad plus jelly effect. Also camera weak with focus that at work we need to zoom on labels. So this is a big disappointment .
Yeah, it could have been improved for sure
hmmm,didn't expected to find Gru reviewing tech., lol
+Dylan XD oh boy..
Golden Gate Bridge wallpaper please? Link plz
I use an app called Absolutely Walls Pro
Redskull thx
You forgot to add that is not water proof ip68, plus that fast charging works Only with their provided charger, another thing no wireless charging.
+NelutzRo very true :) Not ip68, fast charging only works with the provided charger and no wireless charging :)
As a peanut butter, Am confuse if I should buy this instead of lg g6
Honestly i would get the G6 over this
+Redskull what do you say about ram and memory management and battery performance and fingerprint scanner placement and price range
+Redskull answer me please and fast
+Redskull I'm waiting😎😎😒😒😐😐😑😑
JIF lg g6 is shit, the ui is horrible, oneplus 5 is a better choice.
Great review 👌🏻
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!
Weirdly for what I've read the touchscreen latency is actually one of the best amongst the flagships.
Maybe it's just my phone, but i can feel it every time i switch from my S8 to the OnePlus 5. I always talk about my experience with a device, and everyone's expectations and experience is different
maybe it's the keyboard... have you tried any other ? such as swiftkey.. ?
Alex,
You are not the only one that doesn't like that alert slider, I find it a terrible idea as Android by default has quiet hours built-in and you can set your phone to get quiet at certain time and back in the morning but Oneplus has removed that from OxygenOS, now if you forget to use the alert slider you might have a really bad sleep.
Further more Android has profiles in the settings that you can set to automatically change all the settings on the phone based on detecting and connecting to a Wifi connection, i use that to turn all the sounds to very low as I enter my work place and its very useful, again was removed by Oneplus because it conflicts with the alert slider. That was the main reason I didn't buy OP3/OP3T and OP5 and still using my Oneplus One.
Again they copied that Alert slider from iPhones just like the dual camera on the OP5, not sure why they like copying Apple so much.
+Arman M yeah, i am so much happier with my do not disturb on my S8+! I can't stand that slider!
What icon pack are you using?
the icon pack is called Glif
lol if you have it on auto brightness it doesn't adjust it high enough.. you can manually set auto brightness higher.. just an FYI.. I have no problem in glare or outside.
not everyone has the same expectations or experiences with devices. We are all different individuals.
Inainte să am OP5 an folosit s8+, lg g6, htc u11 si pixel xl și nu am nici cea mai mică problemă
Aș zice că OP5-ul tău are o problemă
Totate problemele care le-ai menționat eu nu le am
Si apropo foarte frumoasa prințesa ta 😍
posibil, cine stie :) Mersi!
can't understand
no burn in after e month???
+ALESSIO ASTOLFI burn in?
yes!..... burn in!!....Review smartphones and you do not know what it is ?? ..... good !!!
great video review fat thumbs up friend
+Josh TechGamer hey man, thanks! Appreciated!
Anytime you on way to 100k get that silver play button
+Josh TechGamer still a while! Not gonna be that fast but hopefully we can get there!
M enjoying my oneplus 5 ☺️
Great phone for sure
nice review !
thanks for watching boss!
What android phone would you recommend for a budget of €500? I don't really care about camera quality
+-Zeldaan- i would probably get the LG G6
Redskull whoa, you actually responded hahah! I've always been an iphone user, and this is my first time going android. It's so hard to choose, because there are too much phones. I was looking into the oneplus 5, but i'm really worried about the "jelly effect"
I will look into LG, thanks.
+-Zeldaan- i think you will be getting a better build quality with a G6 and a better experience overall.
Redskull yeah i'm lookin at it and it looks good, but do you think it will be future proof? Can i keep it going for 2 years or so? I was also looking at the samsung galaxy s7.
heyy what is the name of intro song?/ please tell
Lemaitre - Closer (UK Version) ft. Jennie A.
Thanks
how much did you got to give bad review on oneplus ?
who would pay me for that?
Well Samsung could, because their S8 sales were not as expected. But I don't believe they would pay tech reviewers. :)
It's an awesome phone, kind of reminds me of the 3/3T. Maybe they will some day offer a real upgrade instead of this 3T.
probably in 2 years :)
Review ulefone armor 2,please...
+edi hermawan if I get my hands on it I will for sure
I'm waiting that moment...thank you
Awesome review
Im glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Sa fiu sincer ... eu n.as da banii pe 5 mi.as luat 3T
Camera mult mai ok ... sub capota are putere .
L.au cam ridicat in laude pe 5 dar are multe " probleme" sa zicem ...
Se putea muuult mai bine
oh da, nu merita banii in plus un OP5. Eu daca ar trebui sa iau un telefon si as fi limitat de buget mi-as luat S7 Edge
Awesome bro
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid!
+Jose Ramirez (Pochoco) hey man! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it!
you got so much 👍 in this video. darkarmy here:)
+Edward Naynes :) thanks for watching!
awesome review of the Beast the overpriced flagship killer of this year!!
Yeah, they are becoming greedy! In a couple of years the OnePlus phones will cost as much as Samsung phones
Redskull I don't think greedy-ness was the reason of price hike, the thing is except the dual cameras and increased RAM there's absolutely nothing special about this phone so they wasted so much money on the marketing of Camera and DASH charge everywhere that they had to increase the price which is just Stupid since all the phones before were able to do great without marketing, they even gave 1Caror INR to a person in a contest in India which equals to 300 OP5 smartphones, which lead to all this hate, but at last this has just become an overpriced phone, same will never happen with Xiaomi!!
Redskull if that day comes, then we will sure to see OnePlus phones in the line of underrated LG, HTC and Sony devices!!
+Redskull no with this same Samsung phone is costly
Bezels look good
No issue with touch or typing..
Lol my 1+5 has enough brightness even outside
+Javaid Ahmad everyone has a different experience with different products based on expectations and previous experiences
Redskull hmm I agree..
And the night mode on 1+5 for me at night time is just fab to use mobile at night
Thanks Alex, by the way i just received my OP5 today, didnt open this yet. I dont dare guess all the problems still worries me. if i still doubts i will return this unopend back to Oneplus.
By the way did you hear about Essential mobile phone : www.essential.com/
coming out soon.
I think you will be happy with it! I contacted the PR at essential and i'll wait and see if they decide to send a unit for review. I kind of doubt it...since the channel is not that big...but it was worth a try anyway
think positive, hopefully they will send you as a honest reviewer they will the channel is not big for people whom are not deep into mobile but if you are a big andriod Fan then you will discover Essential
Only time will tell :)
Alex,
In the past I was a Samsung fan like you, until i relialized they are slow in providing firmware and updates.
2nd : Samsung provide a lot of App that consumes batteries
let's be honest most of those App the consumer bearly use,
next to that as a consumer you can not uninstall those anoying apps most of them are locked,
3rd Samsung became to Commercial and full focus on marking
high priced 'reason why im not buying Samsung anymore.'
Quality Vs Gadgets :*(
+sanky sankaman yes, you are correct, Samsung is super slow for updates! The S8 does not come with all those garbage apps anymore and it's much better than previous Samsung phones. The phone is still as fast as it was when i started using it something that can't be said about previous Samsung phones. So, no, the phone is not perfect by any means
Redskull the S8 is absolutely coming with a lot of garbage. Just take a look at the preinstalled apps...
I agree. The reason why I choose to get a OnePlus 5, is because of the root friendly (developer friendly) approach. With OnePlus you can just use fastboot to unlock your bootloader, take full control and simply fully restore to factory settings without any left behinds.
A phone like the S8 trips a wire (pysically) as soon as you root it and that wire can only be "replaced" by opening up the phone which leaves even more marks that may void your warranty.
My whole reason to not use iPhone was because I do not like to be limited of what I can do with my device.
I do understand that many users feel just fine the way their iPhone or Samsung Phone is and do not feel limited. However I also did not yet meet a Samsung Phone user that liked provider bloatware from T-Mobile, Verizon or whatever. Quite often they wanted to badly get rid of those apps but all you can do is disable them.
A phone that is developer friendly and open, will for sure get more updates (unoffical ones) to Android which allows its users to use that phone longer without beeing outdated.
dude one plus is not a big company pretty sure they gonna surprass big flagship.. believe that
Supposedly they made over $300 million in profits last year :) That is a big company
compared to what apple and Samsung make every year that peanuts
despacito remix, rly?
at least you didn't have to listen to it :)
watching the video on one plus 5😉😉
nice! 6 or 8 gb ram?
8 GB RAM :) . the phone is very fast.. .
use mi6 faster than it
they are both good phones, it depends what you like more
UAT HD wrong
watch mr who is the boss vids
2:45 lol.. trying so hard
subbed and submitted! could really use a phone for my honeymoon to europe (Sept 21)!! Good luck to everyone :)
thanks for watching!
Destroying the OP5. He forgat to mention that for that price you get 128 g and 8 g of ram.
+Jaime Gonzalez not at all, I mentioned that.
Bro here is some advice...stop talking about otg practically every phone has it and no one really uses it ------ everyone uses the cloud
+Michael Mulin thanks for the input!
I still think people use OTG (i'm one of them) the cloud is created just to feed the hungry datamining machines. So please keep mentioning it.
I also use one :)
well there are mixed opinions, you can get some adapters off ebay for $0.99 shipped ....realistically I use it like 2-3 times a year
Love all your videos!!!
The only problem I have with this device - it's too damn expensive for my 3rd world country :)
Where do you live? But $500 is expensive everywhere...
Redskull 500$ is not extremely cheap, nut still the OnePlus 5 is by far the best phone at its price point.
Samsung fanboy detected...
yeah yeah
Despacito everywhere....😴🤢
+Nicu SAVA despacito la la la :)
Offf....de-ar dispărea odată 😂
sincer, a fost doar a 2-a oara ce am auzit melodia pana acum
Well I'm gonna stick with the s7 edge for now.Great review Alex
The s7 edge is better than this for sure
Redskull LOL are you serious? OnePlus 5 is so much better in any aspect... USB Type C, Better fingerprint scanner, much better performance, much better software, more durable, better support... The S7 Edge only got a slightly better camera and display.
Bro it has so many issues and its way expensive than my s7 edge which costed me $400.Things like jelly scrolling bothers me very much so I'm gonna wait till next year for a newer model
VelronTech There are zero real issues. The jelly effect is extremely overhyped. Most people don't even notice it, and even those who notice it don't care for it, because it's really subtle. Trust me, OnePlus 5 will no disappoint nobody.
VelronTech VelronTech I really don't understand about the OP5 jelly scrolling issue. Of course it is an issue, but only on paper, most people including me dnt notice it. Not even the LR stereo reversal thing. I can definitely understand that these issues are all the bad press that OP got, but for no genuine problem.
My OP5 is fast af..and I m perfectly happy with it.
Ты че русский ? Акцент жесть
no idea what that means
chinese cheap quality mobile phone maker BBK electronics made this one plus phone, BBK electronics makes VIVO and Oppo brand also.
One plus , Vivo and Oppo or made in same factory of BBK electronics, which uses cheap quality materials apart from processor.
Camera also not from sony, if you see any sony camera that does not give that type of bad image in night time
it is a chinese phone after all
is that ur daughter awesome she is so cute (cuter than you )
haha, yeah she is my 5 year old daughter
Redskull which is the quality of oleophobic coating ? Thank you !
OnePlus really missed the point of "flagship killer" this time around.
Yeah, they got greedy
One plus 5 is pretty cool, but the UMI Pro Z1 is gorgeous and wonderful. Speaking of which, when are you going to give me a UMi? Hahahahahaha
:)
