The OnePlus 8T is ICE COLD!

The T line of OnePlus phones has always been known to be incremental upgrades after the model release early every year. The OnePlus 8T shows some strengths to what will be coming for the OnePlus 9!

Jake always reminds me of an evolved version of CallMeCarson.

Jake : This phone is pricey
Jonos : That's the average nowadays
Jake : This is pretty cheap

[drakonispahiu]

im still on the original flagship killer 5 years and counting.

[SpecialEDy]

I got the 7T Pro 5G McLaren because of the pop-up camera, I'll wait for another phone without a notch or punch thru camera...

5:16 Linus has taught you well, young Jake

Quick note the battery management control had been moved to the adaptor. This is the heat source in other phones when charging. Because of this they are capable of charging at such a high rate without excessive battery degradation. I've got a1plus 7 Pro for 1.5 years now and have no noticeable power drop.

I seem to remember LTT doing a video awhile back about how fast charging really isn't all that dangerous to battery longevity, but the real danger was actually in charging it clear to 100% constantly like you do when you charge over night. If that's the case, and considering how OnePlus got to 65w charging using two battery cells, using this charger to just quickly grab 50% extra charge while you get ready to go in the morning might actually lead to a longer life for your battery. That is, unless of course, I'm missing something here.

Jake's voice though, my god. We have watched this kid grow up

[mainfighter]

Wait how is centred cameras a dated look? It looks so much better. I still prefer the camera look on my S10 5G over new phones including Samsung.

Highest SAR (read as one word not S A R) stands for specific absorption rate and touting yourself as having the highest is NOT a benefit. In fact, just the opposite. It's really complicated science but suffice to say, OnePlus is off their rocker by putting this in their marketing.

For those who are interested:
1. The limits set by the FCC are measured in Watts/kg or the amount of power absorbed by human tissue.
2. Testing consists of using a body phantom using TSL (tissue simulating liquid) which mimics the body's dielectric permittivity. It consists of mostly salt-water.
3. SAR (and RF exposure in general) consists of both a maximum power limit and a time averaging limit (i.e. you can safely be exposed to X field for Y amount of time).
4. Meeting the SAR limits is a balancing act. The lower the transmit power the lower the SAR but the worse reception, signal quality, etc. The higher the transmit power the more likely you'll be overexposed.
5. Most likely, this device is using Qualcomm smart transmit which is an algorithm developed to maximize the transmit power while not exceeding the SAR limits. It leverages point 3.
6. Lastly, SAR is NOT MPE (maximum permissible exposure). MPE is a power density limit (Watts per square meter). SAR and MPE are related but they are technically two different things.

3:00 I have had the OnePlus 7t since it was released a bit over a year ago. It also uses OnePlus's warp charge. I had the same thought it would affect battery performance over time and I do have to say it is much less so than previous Android and iPhones I've had. I honestly haven't noticed a ton of degredation over time in battery life using the warp charge every night. I have also never found it to get hot, or even very noticeably warm to the touch while charging, unlike my wife's Samsung Galaxy S10 which does get uncomfortably warm at times.

[patrickwalling-laperriere]

I appreciate the Mike Finnegan "Jerry Rig University", nice Roadkill/FSM touch

[globalko]

I think the degradation of the battery from higher power is highly exaggerated, it is regulated by heat and by my experience 40 degrees Celsius from charging is not that high compared to how high the phone can get when playing games and such

[RinMinase]

You're charging the phone at around 70% already.
I think chargers slow down their charge rate as the battery level goes up.
Warp charge the phone from around 5% for around 5-10mins and I wanna know if the phone gets too hot.

[willanthony]

Ohhh, one plus isnt going to be happy about that battery comments.

[bjrn-oskarrnning]

I can't be the only one absolutely disgusted by how normalized it has become for phones to cost this much, right? $1000 is not normal. Right?

[pnapple]

$749 usd is significantly cheaper than other flagships that have less ram and worse screens. It's the reason I got a 7t pro. I was skeptical because i didn't believe a good flagship phone could cost $600 but this has been my favorite phone since the last nexus. People with $900, $1000 phones see me watching videos at like work and constantly ask what phone it is. I've had it since release and it's never frozen on me and my phone is basically my computer.
