I liked the outside shots from the last video, that camera is impressive.

 

Should film Outside more often, doesnt the town have a nice bay?

I have no problems with sponsored factory tours and showcases like the "initial opinion" thing they dropped today but I don't think LTT should review this phone now like Linus said he would at the end of the initial reactions video. 

 

Also, they jacked up the prices so much but didn't get an IP rating or wireless charging? The amount of RAM is definitely overkill, and this one is subjective but the design just looks ugly AF (what's the forum policy on swearing btw?), would be skipping this one.

Yeah thought so, haven't been involved in these forums before but I did notice the lack of profanity.

The mods have good judgement on here.

 

All that factory equipment has me drooling... im getting a cnc milling machine, lathe, plasma cutting table, cnc router, etc. I want a factory some day.

Apple Gives no F's about durability and quality testing, not like they'll even LET you fix it too.

[JCHelios]

So, during the cold opening, OnePlus not only made you blur out the Razer logo on Linus's backpack, but actually change its color?  Pretty funny!

Where is the server with all the nudes on it

[Egg-Roll]

I'm about 6' tall plus footwear, a phone falling 1.8M with me is 100% possible if at the ear.

 

Beyond that it was a awesome video

I don't tend to swear much at all in RL. Full-blown profanity is reserved for when things go horribly wrong, as in "Huh, I thought I had ten fingers when I came in" wrong.

 

 

Modern phones are an impressive engineering feat. This manufacturing line serves to exemplify the amount of work going into producing one. There are very many steps involved in the QA, though there are also lots of things that are crammed into a phone that can go wrong too.

[seee the state im in nooow]

It's most likely necessary on a mass production scale, but having a metal frame holder with one cutout for the screw on each step is just crazy overkill compared to ifixit repair guides, LOL

 

(also TIL I'm technically taller than linus ._.)

That’s an impressive looking factory thought I’d wager that many top-level phone manufacturers would have this sort of QA testing to some degree.

 

Regardless, back to the phone. I can’t help but feel very “meh” towards it. It’s the expected incremental update but also nothing really special or anything. In fact, the move to glass made it stand out less IMO. I know a lot of tech bloggers want phones to stand out but just adding a glass back just makes it blend in IMHO.

 

Also not big on the price hike. OnePlus is slowly becoming less and less of a value proposition with every new phone it releases and I really hope the camera is upgraded enough to justify the bump

Yeah I think it's pretty cool there isn't swearing.

When repairing phones, the quantity is very minimal compared to what is required for mass production. Every little advantage that can improve efficiency will (within reason) be take. Much like a cpu pipeline, bottlenecks anywhere in the chain can slow down everything else.

 

A production line looks a lot like a cpu pipeline, actually, or rather, the other way around.

[Nicnac]

how much did they pay for that extra long video? ^^

[williamcll]

Since the Xiaomi Mix2S and the OP6 costs almost the same, I wonder would Xiaomi 7 be cheaper and hopefully push down the OP6's price as well.

I mean, when you're doing it potentially 1,000+ times per day I'm sure the frame comes in handy  even if it only increases efficiency by 3-5 additional reps, that's 3-5 more phones for them to sell.
