Oneplus 6 Unboxing & First Impressions!

"You know what you need?.. You need a phone with the speed you need" Troy - WhatGear

Check the price : oneplus 6

So the OnePlus 6. The most powerful but yet affordable competitors to the likes of Apples iPhone X and Samsungs S9. This really might be THE FLAGSHIP KILLER.

Let me tell you why. OnePlus have worked very closely with Qualcomm to tailor this phone for the very latest & greatest mobile processor known to man... At the moment ... The snapdragon 845.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 makes the OnePlus 6 come alive. With this phone now delivering 30% more speed and 10% more efficiency. This AWESOME processor is assisted by a crazy amount of ram. With the OnePlus 6 models sporting up to 8gigs.

What does that mean to a non techy person... Well it means you can run loads of apps in the background and the phone won't slow down. The energy efficiency of Qualcomms 845 silicon will massively improve performance even when using the most demanding apps & and it will evwn make your battery last longer. The Oneplus 6 also supports Oneplus's Dash charge for lightning fast charging. Which is one of the fastest in the game.

You've also now got this massive 6.2" Optic Amoled screen. Similar size to that seen on my Note8 (6.3"). With Qualcomms Adreno Graphics processor behind it.

OnePlus even give you a special Gaming mode option to boost the performance of that Qualcomms graphics processor.

Then you got this... the notch. Now I'm not sure how I feel about this yet, but listen hear real quick. I doesn't matter if you don't like the notch, because you can switch it off. That is a one up for oneplus... Eat that apple.

So let's look at the design here. Front & back Gorilla Glass 5, but what's interesting here is that on the white/gold and black matt versions you also have a glass back. The crazy thing about this is that they don't feel like glass at all. This is down to the design process used on the oneplus 6. OnePlus have made loads of little dimples in the glass to give it that textured feeling.

Why would they do that I hear you say? Well they done this way to enhance its ability to receive mobile signals. With glass having more conducive properties than ceramic or metal... And check this out. I heard the Ltd edition white version has crushed pearl dust mixed in with the glass. I must admit it looks really classy.

Now let's take a quick look at the cameras. I'm not going to go too in depth about them now because I'm going to film a specific video on that at a later date. You've got two Sony sensors and a dual camera setup, with both being f. 1.7 and now one of then supports OIS. Which was a response to Oneplus's fans requests. The Selfy cam is 16mp which is just epic, when you compare it to its rivals.

Anyway the last couple of things that I really love on the OnePlus 6 are... The alert slider just makes switching between sound modes so easy. The Oxygen OS skin that works seamlessly over the Android Oreo platform... And I heard you can even test drive Android P early if you get yourself a OnePlus 6... And I heard that the OnePlus 6 fingerprint reader is one of the fastest in the game! Last but not least. If your a business man you might have two phones. Why bother when you can get a OnePlus 6 with a dual slim tray.

Best Bluetooth Speaker for Bass - Studio 19 500x EQ

So I just want to say a big thank you to Studio 19 London for supporting a underdog UK tech YouTuber by hooking me up this awesome speaker.

So I was recently invited to an event to meet the founder of Studio 19 and this speaker was sitting in the corner. We played a couple of songs on it and bass was so loud, the tea cups were literally falling of the table.

What really impressed me & surprised me the most was when I realised... that the Studio 19 Solo 500x EQ is in fact a wireless speaker. Not in sense that it connects to Wi-Fi...no...in the sense that this power house actually runs on a 8800mah battery. Which means it's portable!

Anyway let me tell you about the design of this thing and what makes this British designed speaker so unique. The majority of the speaker is made up of the anodised aluminium just like the stuff you see on an iPhone. Behind the anodised metal casing is Studio 19's very own patented dual pressure air compression technology (DPAC).

Let me tell ya this thing kicks out some serious bass. It's almost like you have an independently powered separate sub woofer in the room. Wrapped around the top of this tower are the drivers behind the wire mesh. The mids and treble drivers are all angled off in different directions. Which makes this in fact one of the world's first enhanced degree patented 3D effect portable speakers.

The speaker fires out in all directs including up and down. So you will definitely get a room filling sound as well as a sort of emulated surround sound experience. I've never heard a single portable speaker the can produce a surround sound experience quite like this.

Most portable speakers on the market today offer just one pre-programmed sound mode. On the Studio 19 Solo 500x-EQ speaker you can adjust it. Not only can you select preset sound modes for Music, Movies and gaming but can also manually adjust the bass the and the treble, mids as well as the volume. I really love the sliders they reminds me of the days when I had my old techniks 1210 record decks. You've also got a button to switch the input modes... and then another button which I think is just awesome...the lights which gives of the really nice ambient light for Netflix and chillin.

Now the ports you've got an HDMI which you can use if your TV has an audio return channel HDMI port. You got the USB C charging port for fast charging. An auxiliary port if you've got an old school TV like my ancient plasma, and an output port if you want to connect this up to another solo speaker.

So in terms of sound quality the are very few portable speakers out there that match the bass output of the solo 500x. And due to the fact that this speaker has dual pressure audio compression tech (DPAC) inside. Also it's advanced DSP technology gives you a really nice clean sound across the mids and highs. Using the presets really help you get the most from this speaker.

I tried this out in game mode with a bit of call of duty and it's really impressive. The maximum power output is 200 watts which is more powerful than a lot of mains powered sound bars out there.

This product has a really classy look and feel about it, and very premium build quality. Would I recommend it I hear you say? I would would highly recommend it. It's just allround awesome.
