Oneplus 5t

Advantages: - The speed of work.
- Stability.
- Oxygen OS (excellent shell).
- Working time from one charge. Holds at least 6-7 hours of the screen with constantly on wi-fi / 4g (depending on availability), bluetooth (pairing with mi band 2), enabled location and auto-brightness.
- Charging speed is amazing. I hope the degradation of the battery will not be much affected.
- Ergonomics.
- Display.
- Great pictures in the afternoon. The bokeh effect is quite realistic, like.
- Android Oreo.
- Unlock by fingerprint / face. It works both perfectly.
- A good set of delivery (put a little cover, stick of good quality film).

Disadvantages: - Weak vibration motor. In the pocket is almost not felt. Save notifications on my mi band 2 :)
- Sound from the speaker. Yes, it is VERY loud, but at a volume of more than 70% the sound sometimes starts to "wheeze." Not critical, because at such a volume I don’t listen to music.
- The volume buttons are located, IMHO, uncomfortable. But you can get used to it.
- The camera in conditions with poor lighting sometimes smears / soap / watercolor. It is solved by installing the ported Google Camera or manual settings. When shooting video in the same conditions on the stock camera, electronic stabilization does not work very well.

Comment: I am delighted. Absolutely everyone is happy, the above-listed cons are not critical for me. For $ 470 - $ 500 for version 6/64 is the best choice.

Advantages: - The most important plus for me is the speed of the smartphone and general impressions of interaction with it. Snapdragon 835 / Adreno 540 / 6GB RAM - this bundle of processor, graphics core and such a volume of RAM provide lightning-fast 5T. After it, other smartphones seem slow, and it launches applications so that you literally do not have time to blink an eye. Of course, here the guys from OnePlus did a good job on the optimization and on their shell - OxygenOS. I, as an adherent of the “naked” Android, was pleasantly surprised by the flexibility of the system settings;
- Screen. AMOLED at 6 "with a trendy 2: 1 aspect ratio and FullHD + (2160x1080 pixels) is just great.Prior to that, I used Google Nexus 5X with its IPS-matrix and after it the 5T display is simply amazing in color and saturation, moreover, AMOLED has a more natural black color (when the screen displays it, these pixels are not highlighted, which is why black "so black). The 5th generation Gorilla Glass display is covered - so far there are no scratches and no damage;
- Front-camera. Excellent frontalka on 16Mp - removes clearly and efficiently;
- Speakers. Conversational - with a good margin of volume and very clearly conveys the speech of the interlocutor. Multimedia - though one, but the sound transmits loudly, efficiently, there are even some lows and volume;
- Fast charging. Included with the OnePlus 5T is a Dash-charger, as the manufacturer itself assures - the fastest phone charging in the world. I can't check it out, but it charges very quickly (just faster than the fast charge that goes to the Nexus 5X) - up to 100% in just over an hour;
- 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone jack. Who would have thought that such a natural attribute of all smartphones from the past today will have to make a separate item as a plus? But, unfortunately, yes - current trends (or marketing) deprive the user of such a useful thing, but OnePlus did not go on about them, for which many thanks to them;
- Workmanship and materials - without complaints.

Disadvantages: - Main camera. I don’t know why two practically top-end Sony modules shoot a little better than one camera on a two-year Nexus 5X. I think that OnePlus was just too lazy to work on the software, otherwise I can’t explain it. Not to say that I was very disappointed with the 5T shooting - in principle, with good lighting, it shoots very decently, there is also a bobble (blurring the background with the second module), HDR, electronic image stabilization, and fast autofocus, but a photo with poor lighting at dusk it is immediately covered with noise;
- Working hours. The battery at 3300mAh for a smartphone with a 6-inch display and this “hardware” is still too small. However, well-optimized software and AMOLED screen allow the smartphone to live a little more than a day with moderate everyday use;
- Ergonomics. The first thing you notice when you start using a smartphone is
multimedia speaker is not located on a very good place (on the left at the bottom). When watching a video, you constantly block it with your palm. The second miscalculation is the location of the power button and volume rocker. They are practically at the same level at opposite ends, and when you want to change the volume with your index finger, the thumb goes straight to the power button, and you reflexively press it. Another minor problem is the location of the onscreen buttons too close to the keyboard. When you type something, it’s very easy, instead of a space, to go to the "home" button and minimize the application you need;
- Applications from OnePlus. I did not like the fact that the manufacturer for some reason changes the standard Google applications to its own, although in fact they perform the same tasks and look almost the same. This applies to applications "Camera", "Contacts", "Phone" and "Calculator". And with the application "Camera" from Google, the smartphone does not really want to be friends, but it shoots better through it;
- AMOLED-display - according to my subjective feelings, his eyes get tired more quickly than from IPS.

Comment: In general, I am pleased with the smartphone. If you do not take into account the small errors in ergonomics, the weak software of the main camera and the very shooting on the double module, in which the main compromise of this model is felt, then the OnePlus 5T is an excellent offer for your money (if taken directly from China).
A chic display, top-end hardware at the end of 2017, the speed and smoothness of the interface, a metal case and a 3.5 mm mini-jack connector - it all works to ensure that you enjoy interacting with your smartphone every day, not this Is there the most important thing for a regular user?

Advantages: 1. Screen.Large and nice looking, excellent color rendition with the possibility of correction for themselves, royal brightness even in the sun, night mode with warm tones and black and white mode for reading. Inverted to green only at large angles.
2. Ergonomics. It is extremely pleasant to hold the phone in hand, the device feels flagship and conveniently lies in the palm of your hand, despite the decent diagonal of the screen. The fingerprint scanner is in the usual place for me at the back, although I would not refuse from the frontal location. Pleases the aluminum case, because resolutely do not believe in the glass backs of smartphones. A bit, however, straining the protruding camera, but there are more fears of breaking it than a real problem.
3. Speed. Everything literally flies. No downloads, reloads. Applications open instantly. I don’t really play mobile games, but all I tried was flying at max speeds.
4. Operating system. I fell in love with Oxygen OS after a little bit tired MIUI. The number of bugs is minimal, no dancing with a tambourine for receiving notifications, handy features that gently complement the pure android (for example, I often use gestures on the screen off).
5. Camera. I would not call myself a mobile photographer, but the camera for me plays an important role in the smartphone. 5T photographs at least with dignity, it turns out very nice looking photos. Good bokeh, but sometimes blur is incorrectly displayed when previewing a future photo. Excellent video writing in 4K.
6. Charging. Charges almost completely in less than an hour. Conveniently.
7. Reasonableness. I did not know what to call this item, but it is clear that the phone was made for the convenience of people. The mode selector lever, instant unlocking with a face or fingerprint - all this is about 5T.

Disadvantages: 1. Autonomy. I would not say that the phone was frankly disappointing, and it’s probably silly to demand from a 6-inch shovel the results of a five-inch HD-resolution with a large battery (my last Redmi 3S). The charge is consistently enough for a day, but apparently it’s already psychologically difficult to see 65% in the middle of the day. I will get used, the flagships with a huge battery are not in fashion now, apparently they don’t want to thicken the case.
2. Vibration. Probably one of the main drawbacks of the 5T for me was a weak vibration motor. I do not feel the vibration in my pocket almost at all. Uncomfortable, without a sound signal there is a decent chance to miss the notification.
3. The rounded edges of the screen. Beautiful, but impractical. I got used to glue glass on my smartphones, but then the sticking turned into hell - because of the curved hands and rounded edges, the sticking of branded glass dramatically dragged out, resulting in a speck of dust on the glass. Not critical, but a bit unpleasant.

Comment: I really liked Oneplus 5, but I wanted a six-inch screen, so I immediately got the idea to take the 5T as soon as it was announced. I ordered from China, hello to domestic retailers who are overpriced by a third. The phone is mega-happy, it's nice to take it every time, everything is very good. I recommend to buy. The perfect combination of price and quality.

Advantages: + Performance. Any game or program runs smoothly, everything is very fast. It does not heat up at all, only in the benchmarks it becomes barely warm.
+ OxygenOS. Undoubtedly, one of the best shells. Saved material design, with added a lot of settings, stability.
+ Camera. In general, this is not a camera phone, if you want a better camera - buy a Pixel, but rather a DSLR. You can take very good pictures on the phone, but in difficult conditions you will have to tinker with the setting (examples of photos are attached). There are no questions to the front, it is excellent.
+ Very fast FaceUnlock, almost stopped using fingerprint scanner. It’s impossible to unblock it with your eyes closed, so you can sleep well. The printed photo did not roll, requested a password (as explained by the OnePlus support service, the AI ​​notices the white paper around the face photo and the "plane").
+ Bright Optic Amoled screen, it is really good!
+ Excellent keeps the battery, I expected the worst, given 6 inches and 3300 mAh. For 1.5 days, quietly enough. Charging is very fast.
+ The sound in the headphones is good, clean.

Disadvantages: Well, there are mostly cavils, no obvious flaws (for me)
- Camera. To get pictures comparable to Pixel, as I said above, you will have to tinker with the setting. But the video you do not get good here, optical stabilization is not delivered.
- Optic Amoled screen. At first, you can see the pixel grid (after ips), but then the eye ceases to notice. Someone starts to hurt his eyes from PWM, but I never met such people in person, and his eyes do not hurt.
- Lack of declared moisture protection. Although it seems to be there, the smartphone will survive a fall into the water (see YouTube). Well, I have straight arms (sort of).
- There are no stereo speakers, but the sound from one is good, clear.
Well, I kind of listed everything, even something that is not a fault for me.

Comment: The smartphone received a week ago, it's time to sum up the first results. To begin with, this is the most pleasant smartphone to use that I had (and I had many smartphones: Sony xperia Z3, iPhone 6s, xiaomi mi 5, Honor 8 Pro - the main list, so there is something to compare with). Everything is very smooth, incredibly fast, stable. Someone can push the newfangled aspect ratio of 2: 1 (18: 9, if you want), but I liked it. There is also a version of the smartphone on 8 / 128GB, but, in my opinion, this is an overpayment.
Feedback will be updated.

Advantages: 1. Performance. Out of competition, in my opinion, both among the Chinese, and in general in Androids.
2. Screen. What you need is color rendition, resolution. I can't wish for anything better
3. Energy efficiency. Whether Android has learned to work, not allowing applications to spend too much energy, or the shell of Oxygen OS is made in C ++ really craftsmen, but ... the phone with active use, taking into account the presence of at least 5-8 services that constantly request the network for updates , taking into account calls, two SIMs, etc. ... From 100 percent in the morning it is discharged to the end of the day (night) somewhere up to 30 percent.
4. Actually Oxygen OS. Nothing more, everything is quick and to the point. Wide selection of settings. No extra apps.
5. Camera. I am not a fan of Instagram, I don’t like to take super-detailed pictures. However, the experience of communicating with the camera on the OP 5t showed that for me it is a bomb. The pictures are clear, detailed, even at night. And there are some noises, natural with software processing - I am absolutely not disturbed.
6. Support and updates. Surprisingly, the company OP does not score on its relatively old model. The same OP 3 - gets Oreo even before 5T, and not just an update, but also new chips - such as Face Unlock
7. Ways to unlock the phone - Face Unlock - just a bomb. It works great, unlock time - half a second, or even less. I always use it, occasionally only a fingerprint scanner, when I need to confirm my identity. The latter, by the way, also works with lightning speed. There is no particular discomfort from the fact that it is located behind - I did not feel it - it is not fascinating at all.
8. Fast charging. For an hour, it charges up to 100 percent. Just insane.
And much more: two SIM cards, the work of the video subsystem, the design (I really like it) - everything says that for me personally the synonymization “made in China” = “done somehow” has ceased to be true. Let's see what happens next.

Disadvantages: 1. Sound. Honestly, I did not feel that the sound in this phone was shaking. I would rate it at 3+
2. Repair Chinese. The general problem is that there are no representative offices; in fact, in the event of a “guarantee case”, you are left to yourself.
3. Fast charging and non-removable battery. What is a plus is also a minus. Physics can not be fooled, after a year or two with a current of 2A, the battery will begin to pass. And it can hardly be simply replaced.

Comment: In general, the advice - to take. Compared with the so-called A-brands - reasonable quality for much less money. Everything else is show off and a desire to stand out from the crowd with an “awesome design.”I need a phone for work, to be constantly in touch, mail, Skype, VoIP calls. Samsung absolutely didn’t come to me with its poor energy efficiency and - for me - dubious design. Apple is objectively expensive for me, because I don’t want to spend much on those features that I can easily get much cheaper.

Advantages: + battery life
+ overall system performance
+ amount of RAM
+ camera
+ charging time

Disadvantages: -Inconvenient arrangement of volume buttons
camera (both plus and minus, I will describe in more detail in the comments section)
-Of course I would like wireless charging, but this is more of a nagging
- You can not turn off the LED indicator separately when the battery is low and when charging
-It is not clear why in the version 64GB is less than the RAM, it is supposedly less memory is used or how?))

Comment: After almost 1.5 years of using the SE phone, which died suddenly, the flour of choice began, choosing mainly between LG g6 and galaxy s8, the iPhone didn’t even consider it because of ios 11 (somehow it didn’t make friends with it) I also have an old Nexus 4 from LG, the phone still works fine (of course not as fast as we would like) and at the moment not every phone has wireless charging and NFC), but looking at the review in the internet where it was said that the camera glass scratches looked in the store live and True, the Samsung did not like it because of the rounded edges of the screen. Generally took this device. The first impression is that the android cannot work so everything works just as lightning fast as I ran the applications never reloaded anything or glitched. Amoled screen I really liked everything bright and juicy, some say that my eyes hurt or something like that. Usually, all my previous androids worked maximum until lunchtime, the phone was very surprised to live more than a day (messengers, read books, web surfing). NFC works great, the sensor is almost under the camera, so it’s convenient to pay for goods). The camera is subjectively much better than the iPhone SE, but it’s not clear why there are two of them ... at 2x zoom, the picture just increases and the quality is lost, the blur mode hasn’t been tried yet, the front camera is simply awesome) ..... In general The phone is very high quality and pleasant a little longer than the usual 5.5 "smartphone and in width + - also .... I hope in the future will only please) Good luck to all!
