OnePlus 5T Review: Best Specs For The Best Price?

So we're going to take a look at the OnePlus 5T today. This smartphone was released in mid November of 2017 and for its price, I would say that it's a great phone. 



The OnePlus 5 was released earlier in the year and the OnePlus has come back with high-end specifications and a modern design overall. The OnePlus 5T has a metal body and includes a bunch of new features. This $500 phone has all the things an $800 phone does and let's take a look at what it has.

The OnePlus 5T has a 2160x1080 AMOLED screen which looks amazing and includes Android 7.1.1. On the bottom of the phone it has a USB Type-C charging port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a speaker. The speaker sound pretty good and it's loud and clear. Better than I expected.



On the back of the phone there is a fingerprint sensor and a dual lens camera. The main camera is 16MP and the second 20MP low light camera. There is also obviously a light on the back for taking pictures in dark areas or to simply use as a flashlight.



On the front of the phone where you will be spending most of your time is the 2160x1080 6.01 inch AMOLED display as mentioned before. In addition to that is the front 16MP camera.


Now let's take a look at what you have mainly been waiting for. The inside of the phone includes some pretty high-end specs. The CPU powering the system is the eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. This is a powerful CPU especially for a phone. You have a choice with the amount of memory. You can either go with 6GB or 8GB. 

The GPU inside the phone is the Adreno 540. You get a great choice for storage inside the phone. You can go with either 64GB or 128GB. With these options, it should be pretty hard to run out of storage. To finalize the inside of the phone, there is a 3300mAh battery included.

The OnePlus 5T includes a cool feature when it comes to charging. It comes with OnePlus' "Dash" charging. The heat that usually generates inside the phone is also duplicated in the power brick. This means that when you are using a "Dash" charger, the power management circuitry turns off. This then means that instead of the phone getting really hot during the charging process, the power brick will get hot. This allows the phone to charge better and it also helps if you're using the phone while it charges.

The only problems I really see about this phone is that it is not waterproof and has no expandable storage. Though i wouldn't see why you would need expandable storage when you have a choice a getting 128GB built into the phone. 

All in all, the phone is cheap for what it includes. Usually with a phone like this, it would cost anything from $700-$900. In my opinion, it holds just as much or unarguably better power compared to the $1000 iPhone X. But that is just my opinion. Would I recommend this phone over anything else right now? Definitely. The only bad thing for me would be the fact that it isn't waterproof.

This phone is near perfect in my eyes. Maybe we'll get a perfect phone soon...

Dell Inspiron 15: Best Inexpensive Laptop?

Image
Today we are going to be taking a look at the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series 3552 Laptop. I have been using this laptop for the past year and there is plenty to complain about in the year I've had it. But first, let's just take a look at what kind of power it has. First off, it has a 15.6 inch screen so you do have a decent amount of screen space available. Screen resolution is 1366x768 pixels (HD) and although this laptop is not touchscreen, I somehow managed to get fingerprints on it... weird. Anyway, it has glossy coating on the sides and top of the screen which is a real fingerprint magnet but still looks good over all. The laptop has a plastic top cover and on there is also plastic on the bottom with ventilation and a removable cover to access the inside of the rig. The Inspiron has ports on each side. On the left side it has the charging plug, more ventilation, an HDMI plug, USB 3.0, and an SD card reader. On the right side it includes two USB 2.0 an

Corsair Carbide Series 100r PC Case Review

Image
So I've recently started building my own PC and my case just arrived about a week ago. This case is the Corsair Carbide Series 100r Mid Tower Case. As soon as I took it out of the box I was pleased with how it looked. It's made completely out of black steel and it has a side panel window on the case. The case comes with dual USB 3.0, 1 headphone port, and 1 microphone port on the front.  Inside the case, it comes with 4 internal 3.5 inch drive bays and to continue expansion it has 2 external 5.25 inch drive bays. The cooling system inside the case includes two spots for 120mm fans in the front, two spots for 120mm fans in the top, and one pre-installed 120mm fan on the rear side of the case. If you decide to install fans in these locations it should never get too hot inside. The pre-installed fan on the rear side og the case is also very quiet. The case is compatible with ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards so you do have a wide variety of motherboards to cho

Samsung Galaxy S9: Is it Revolutionary?

Image
So today we are going to be taking a look at another smartphone coming to the market soon. The Samsung Galaxy S9 seems and looks pretty similar to the S8. But once we take a closer look maybe you'll change your mind. The S9 still has the volume rocker, power button, and the Bixby button in the same exact spots. I'm personally surprised that they kept the Bixby button due to all of the people complaining about it previously. This smartphone's screen is 5.8 inches which is a pretty good size for a smartphone. It also has Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and the back of the phone. Speaking of the back of the phone, the Galaxy S9 includes a 12 Megapixel camera which can record up to 4k 60 FPS. It also has the fingerprint sensor mounted on the back but instead of being next to the camera, the sensor is below the camera. I'm glad they moved this here due to the fact that you would sometimes accidentally place your finger on the camera and get smudges all over it. Switc
