WEBVTT - OnePlus 6 Smartphone: Great Features, Affordable Price

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>One plus six might be one of the best Android

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>smartphones of the year. What's going on? I'm Rich Damiro.

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>This is Rich on Tech Daily. So you know about

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Apple and Samsung, but have you heard about one plus.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.479
<v Speaker 1>The company makes a flagship style device for less and

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>their latest is called the one plus six. Recently I

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>sat down with Kyle Jung and San Francisco to talk

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>about it. He's their general manager for North America.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so one plus is a coming. Started a little

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>bit over four years ago, and our first vice one

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 2>plus one was very popular among the tech enthusiasts, and

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>so since then we've been making mobile Android flagship phones

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and they're generally thought of is the highest performing devices

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 2>with also maybe the preferred software solution for people that

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 2>prefer a particular Android experience.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>The one plus six has a giant six inch screen

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>plus a beautiful design that fits nicely in your hand.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>There's also a dual camera set up on the back,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a great selfie camera, a fingerprint reader, face unlock, and

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>loads of extras that let you customize how your phone works.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>But this phone is sold unlocked and with no bloatwear.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I think with every one of our devices there's a

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>theme of continuous improvement. I think this is our best

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>device yet. I think the mobile industry expects from us,

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>maybe the best performing devices, and we have a theme

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>of fast and smooth. I think this device is the

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 2>best embodiment of that.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>The one Plus costs five hundred and thirty dollars unlocked,

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>probably the biggest downside. You can't walk into a store

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>to buy one. You have to get it direct from

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>one Plus.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>We're a different company in the sense that we're not

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>the same size as maybe an Apple or Samsung, and

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>we don't carry all the infrastructure, sales, distribution, million dollar

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>advertising campaigns. So really all our focus goes into the device,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and so there's probably a difference in terms of how

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>we approach kind of how we do devices, and I

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>think people have been very satisfied in terms of what

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>we deliver and have sought us out based on that approach.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Now I've been using one plus phones for a while

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and I noticed that the camera on this one is

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely improved compared to previous models. I think you're gonna

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>get much more consistent shots. It's an excellent performer in

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>bright light, but most phones are these days. But I

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>think it also does well in other conditions lower light

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and in portrait mode. You're gonna get mostly good shots

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>out of this thing.

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>So I think we're really excited about the camera solution

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>we have. One of the things that's new is we

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have OIS. It's basically optical stabilization, especially in terms of

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>low light, and it will help low light photographs on

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.119
<v Speaker 2>the main sensor, and I think people that have tried

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the device so far have been pretty happy with the

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>performance of the camera.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>The biggest issue I have with the camera on the

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>one plus six is that when you're taking shots that

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have motion in them, like if your kids are in

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the shot, they can be blurred. So with me, I

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>had kind of mixed results with this. If there's a

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of moving in the shot, it kind of could

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be tough to grab a good shot on your first try.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But a couple of tries and hopefully you'll get something

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that's usable. When it comes to design, the one plus

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>is top notch. Hahaha, I know tech humor. Yes, the

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>one plus six does have a notch, but you can

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>hide it with software.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>People have been very impressed with the material design and

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the overall look of the device. I'd say it will

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.959
<v Speaker 2>be the fastest performing phone there is, or kind of

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>philosophy of fast and smooth in terms of the highest

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>performing hardware, and the most preferred software solution in Android

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>in terms of being clean, no bloat experience. I think

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>all those factors, along with the best charging technology, make

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>it the best offering there is.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>The software on the one plus six is excellent. It

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>will satisfy even the most critical Android user. Think Google

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Pixel style stock Android, but with a bunch of little

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>extras built in, like the ability to turn your screen

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>black and white when you're reading a book on the

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Kindle app or another reading app, or you can have

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>your status bar display exactly what you want it to show.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>And the software on the one plus is noticeably peppy.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It's literally responsive unlike any other device I've used. It

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.839
<v Speaker 1>even makes my Pixel to XL seem slow in comparison.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Now we're as good as the device that you bought

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>from us. And I think devices that are even coming

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>up on two years of one plus three people are

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>still extremely satisfy with our software. Updates have been quick

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and the one plus you know, those devices are still

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>performing extremely fast, where people are still really satisfying so

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I think even though as a company we've we've introduced

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>two phones a year previously, people are still satisfied with

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the phone they get and they can have confidence in.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 1>That bottom line. The one plus is a great alternative

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to what Apple and Samsung offer, but at a lower price.

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But many people don't even realize it's an option, and

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>once you're interested in this device, well it's kind of

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>a leap of faith to buy something online site on scene. Still,

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>one plus says their brand continues to grow because when

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>people buy a device from them, they're generally pretty happy.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think the one thing we're noticing is we're

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>growing a lot in the United States and that's without

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, giant marketing campaigns. And I think one of

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 2>the reasons for that is more and more people are

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>becoming aware of kind of one plus and also the

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>idea of you can, you know, buy your own phone direct,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's something that more and more people

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 2>are coming around to, and once they kind of take

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 2>that step learn a little bit more about mobile devices,

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>they're seeing that we believe we have the best offering.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You can read my entire review of the one plus

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>six plus, see some pictures I took on it and

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.719
