Intro finally has dark mode.
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!
I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get on my amazing videos. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't comment anything mean on my wonderful videos, dear sim
Thank the guy on twitter
And the classic intro song!

Lmao it been had it, Marquess just finally decided to use it again
"You were supposed to destroy the flagships, not join them!"
"Bring balance to the prices not leave it in darkness"
I see through the lies of the enthusiasts.
I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new customers.

"Don't be a fan of company, but fan of product". Golden words.
I don't like new Oneplus phones but i'm still in love with my 5T. Broke mine 2 months ago , bought another 5T again and i'm in love again.
@@NatefousAnand I was really happy with my OnePlus 6 and was really disappointed when I got the 8 Pro as an "upgrade"... Didn't even use it for a year and have a Pixel 5 now with which I'm really happy with
What is the next phone company in rotation that tries to build a brand while scarifying their margins to gain network effect?
True
I have experienced that twice. First time I became a fan of Samsung after seeing Note 8's design and after what Note 9 can do. After that I got so disappointed with Note 10 destroying every reason I loved the Note and Samsung, that is so sad. Also the same thing was with me loving Lego hero factory and Lego bionicle g2 and in the end of 2016 Lego ended constraction and ccbs as a whole, forcing me to buy old hero factory sets on eBay hunting for the best price of a sealed one or buying used.
I don't really have "brand loyalty" when it comes to phones. I generally end up getting what's best for my needs at the moment. And while there are brands that I do like, I don't feel the need to stick with them if they don't really meet my needs.
The closest I've ever come to falling in love with a brand was Lumia. I absolutely LOVED Windows Phones and I was pretty sad when they died.
I'm actually running a Windows Phone-style launcher on a OnePlus phone these days!
I have brand loyalty to xiaomi, because of the Xiaomi phone that I bought. I wouldn't mind using a different company's product. Any company but apple

I love OnePlus Started out with the 3T. Stayed with them up until now with the 9 Pro. This will probably be my last one. They used to be really innovative and had features that other phones didn't. With them now being the same prices as Samsungs and basically the same features, I'll probably end up going with Samsung. Way more case options.
Same here
Started with 3 and this year upgraded it to a 9. Both times, it was the best bang/buck in my desired budget, in my location. It'll be interesting to see if the Hasselblad collab evolves to include camera hardware, but I'm not too worried about OP's near future since they do sell pretty well at least here in Europe. And besides, other than software updates, there's little reason for a phone owner to worry about brands anyway. You just buy whatever is the best deal when you need a new phone.
Yeah that sadly true! I love OnePlus but it's really hard to find good cases for them!
but Samsung sucks donkey dick!.I don't know how they manage to do it, but after a year or so, your phone becomes dreadfully slow and eats battery for breakfast. oneplus on the other hand don't, their software is getting a bit buggy and their phones pricier though.
This is were Google will take over this segment as they somehow found a way to make a phone for enthusiast and the general population
Good points, but in the case of OnePlus, I think they messed up by diluting the brand with an unfocused stream of new products. "Never Settle" suddenly means nothing. You don't need to be an enthusiast brand to have a focused line of products.
How it started: "Never Settle"
How it's going: "That'll do"
Can it get more real than this comment?
In Finland almost everyone uses OnePlus. Maybe different in US.
I have OnePlus 5T, tried OnePlus 6T but it was very bad and then heard horror stories about OnePlus 7, etc. I had S10+, but it's battery was not good, now I'm using OnePlus 5T and everything about this phone is good. :)

A "what happened to HTC" would be really cool.
Yep agreed - HTC absolutely captured the hearts of those of us who didn't use/like Apple products in the earlier days of smartphones.
My first 2 phones were HTC, one of them was a banger - the HTC One x Plus. But just like Siemens in the early 2000s and then Nokia and Sony Ericsson later... they disappeared!
Yes
@@NatHarwood My first smartphone was also an HTC - an HTC hero. My 2nd phone was an HTC one, now my phone is a redmi K20. HTC is still making phons, but quite poor quality phones nowadays.
Completely agreed
HTC One M7 best phone i ever had. It was so ahead of its time in so many things!
The thing i miss most about one plus is the memo notes app when you swipe left i used that almost everyday such a simple idea better than shitty Google news feed on my oppo
WOAH, he's going back to his roots, old intro music AND THE OBSESSION WITH CHERIOS

@Blackout Studios do you understand PRO stands for Professionals and not ordinary customers? PRO here refers to actual PROs and not used just for the trend like "other" companies.
Love this 'explainer video'!
Love my 1+ 7T, thanks to your review years ago. Looking to upgrade, but as I shop around I was seeing what you said in this vid. Thanks
I love my 1+ 7pro and will change it only if it totally die)
I would say a good alternative would be the Google Pixel range, especially the recent ones that came out. Pixel 7 even has a flat screen.
But there’s no 256 gb edition in pixel and no fast charging
I used OP7, upgraded to Pixel 7. It's a good phone but I loved light UI more than this new fancy stuff. Pixel 7 is great but OP in OP5-OP6-OP7 era was different beast altogether!
Someday in future I want to own a phone tray like the one Marques has. Geez that looks so dope

Actually, almost every tech enthusiast in China knows it. Oneplus is targeting overseas markets. Oxygen OS is way better than the hydrogen OS that installed on the Oneplus devices shipped in China. Because we don’t have access to Google services.

Kinda common with phone reviewers tbh
Hi , you must be new around here.
Don't be loyal to a brand is actually great advice. We as a society are way too loyal to corporations while they only provide us with products essentially.
Dude, I know you released this a year ago, and you probably wont see this... but I wanted to let you know I have been binging all of your review videos all day today. Going on close to 9 hours just hanging out watching your videos. Keep up the good work, I find your stuff really relaxing.
This video has more of a “documentary style” to it. I’m gonna be honest, I kinda like it.
Check out techaltar if you don't already know about him, super cool videos
Quick edit: I see now Marcus shouts him out in the video.
@@BuckeyeFanATW I've been watching that guy since his video on Windows phones (the first episode of "The Story Behind series). His perspective is really fascinating to say the least.
Anyone else wondering how many phones are inside that cabinet?
Uhh in the linus tour I think he said around 300 plus, then again that was a few years ago
I'm guessing pretty much ALL of them.
@@fedric5882 Damn, imagine the monthly bill if all was activated at the same time XD
Probably all after 2012 onwards
At least 5 bro I bet
Might be cool to see phone companies take a page out of car companies book and make special divisions that release enthusiast aimed products. It works well for auto manufacturers when done correctly because it keeps the enthusiasts excited and talking about the brand in a positive way but also allows for mainstream appeal and more importantly, customers.
Nice touch to use the old 'Advanced Video Project' intro music that you were using when the OnePlus One came out!
"Don't be a fanboy!"

Idolizing anything (be it a person, a brand, a team, etc) only leads to disappointment. Admire stuff (or people) but don't idolize it (or them).

I loved ths OnePlus 5 I had. It was so good - the battery, the software, the UI and many other features most phones did not have. I used it for 2 years and my mom used it for a year before the battery life started getting bad and the phone felt very outdated. I had switched to the OnePlus 8 since I knew I was looking at a solid 3 years with the phone. After one year with the OnePlus 8 without any issues, they switched over to Color OS. I hated it. The UI was bad and the phone had all sorts of bugs. I had just moved to the US and started using 5G, but the 5G on the OnePlus was not much different from the 4G I used to get in India. I was using my Indian sim along with T-Mobile and after upgrading to Android 12, the Indian sim was not getting read in the phone. Idk what happened, but it was after the Android 12 update, and I couldn't get the sim to work. After restarting, or after an update, I was not able to receive internet on the phone through my T-Mobile sim card. I had been in a few situations when I badly needed the internet and it did not turn on. The phone storage was never read when connected to a computer. The default Gallery app showed none of the photos or videos in the storage. I had too many important files in the phone, so I could not reset the phone, nor could I create a backup since the storage couldn't be read on a computer. To my luck, T-Mobile offered a good value for trading in my OnePlus 8 and I got the iPhone 13, been happy withthe the iPhone ever since. It's true, OnePlus DID live long enough to see itself become the villain.
Very nice video man. Very well done and informative. Way better than other videos I've seen trying to do the same thing. I just got a Nord N10 5G a month ago(it's my first OnePlus) and I love it. Wish I would have tried OnePlus sooner.
"Wait, OnePlus is turning into oppo?"

@@receptivetoadvice6302 Imagined, laughed out loud.
Going to be sticking with my 7T Pro for as long as i can honestly, previously had the OP5 but the front camera placement and screen of the phone was too appealing to pass up, let alone the performance jump. only time will tell just how much more OnePlus will take from OPPO in it's designs, OS decisions and whatnot. As stated in the video it's either a company can't sustain for a niche or branch out to the masses, regardless of what the company stood for when it first brought out a product, they're still solid phones regardless despite not quite being so.
I've got the OnePlus 7 pro and 7T pro McLaren edition and I'm looking forward to seeing the Android 12 update. I love my OnePlus 7T pro except for the fingerprint reader is bad. The OnePlus 7 pro is brilliant but unfortunately I bought it used and it's got an annoying level of burn-in🤷

I went from the OnePlus one to a 7t (yes it lasted me about 5 years, still have it and it works just has Terrible battery life). My friend had the 3T and I remember it having such a nice build quality, one thing the original phone lacked.
2014:- Never Settle
2021:- Finally Settled
nah, they still stick to their 'never settle'. but in the prices :/
just keeps going up.
They already started settling since OP2
XD
It was always settling, their hardware was worse and you settled for the price.
It's a marketing trick. Like how Apple's used to be "Think different", which was the opposite of reality. It's to convince yourself the opposite of reality, like with OnePlus that you're not settling.
Well said!

It was intentional 😉
The Original MKBHD intro music, if you know, you're a real OG
Get out of his ass man.
So true
And the OG wallpaper too
I've got the Oneplus one within the first 6 months of launch (2014) and I've used it up to the launch of the Oneplus Nord (summer 2020). It is indeed a great and I agree it should be included in the top10 phones of the last decade.
I became a OnePlus 7 Pro fanboy as soon as I bought one. And it was my first and last OnePlus phone. With 5 months of use my device had the BSOD and had no way to get back.
All of this happened in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and my country's and US postal systems were closed long enough for my warranty to expire.

I think the defining moment was when OnePlus 6T came out without a headphone jack. Luckily I had snuck in and purchased the OnePlus 6 before, in my opinion, the brand went down this road. Still holding up today so far (knock on wood) and they've continued to update it consistently
Nah it was good till the 7t version cause it was the first phone which introduced 90hz screen

@@danka1167 Nintendo is probably the worst at stocking properly. The switch was sold out for months, especially during the start of the pandemic and their mini NES & SNES were really hard to find for a long time too.
@@44gouranga ‘worst at stocking’ lmao. The PS5 is impossible to buy, at least you can still buy a switch if you want to. It’s why it’s doing so well right now, along with other reasons. But I will agree with the S/NES Classic, they need to stock those properly

Yes, I did enjoy this explanatory video. It helped to make sense of the evolution of products, and to develop an attitude that can serve one best.
“you have become the very thing you swore to destroy”
It was probably their strategy all along. Launch the appealing flagship killer, become a hit, build a big loyal fan base and after that keep increasing the price every year.
Even I thought the exact same thing watching the video

I really liked one plus 3t when I bought it at the end of 2018 and the thing that I liked about it is its battery discharges really after a loooong time but now even after replacing it with a new battery it is unable to sustain charge even for just a couple of hours. Turns out it is because of their software update.
Had the one plus 7 pro for 4 years after a one plus 5 both great phones however the updates went downhill and caused issues with each one and took 3 or 4 updates to sort the issues out whilst adding new ones.
Absolutely true
The software on my OP6 was good, basically everything working as expected.
The OP7T was the same for the first year, then the dreaded Android 11 update came and the phone was total s**t after that.
Now I'm waiting with updates for at least a few weeks until they sort out everything.

Oneplus peaked with the 7 Pro. The TRUE full screen can't be beated. No ugly hideous stupid notch or hole punch.

I've had my 6T for 4.5 years now, twice as long as I usually keep my phones, and it still works as well as it did when it was new. Even the battery life is still fantastic, I only need to charge it every 2-3 days, I haven't had that since my Nokia 3310. Despite that, I recall it being 30-40% cheaper than the big brand flagships. 10/10.

Dunno what my next phone will be, but im looking for some kind of a hideaway or hidden front camera.
Loved OnePlus but a part of me wants to change to a different brand but I'm not sure what brand I'd go for. I like Oxygen OS. I have a OP6T and haven't had any issues with the phone but it's definitely hard for me to think about what phone to buy next.

Dont read my Profile Picture :)
I'm still rocking my buggy S7 Edge because I can't find a phone that would justify the price. OnePlus and Pixel are not available in my country (actually they just started selling OnePlus Nord but that's it), no interest in a more expensive Exynos Galaxy models and I can't stand the iPhone's notch... I don't like Huawei so I'm just stuck in a loop of looking up the available phones and feeling disappointed. I guess I'll wait till my phone completely dies before I'm forced to choose...
Yeah Marques - these videos really help. If you are older and remember when phones were things wired into the wall with receivers and rotating dials lol then you need context. Otherwise you get bewildered. My first mobile was a Nokia brick and all I wanted it to do was make phone calls. Period. My first OnePlus was a three (this one I currently use).
I was told by a computer repair guy that he found it in a box of parts. He sold it to me for NZ three hundred dollars and it has been great. Nobody had heard of the brand here. A really lovely phone.
In the US, now that Google isn’t really competing in the true flagship space, Motorola is competing with budget phones, and LG is out of the race, it really just leaves Samsung and OnePlus as our best options for Android unless you want somebody like ZTE.

"don't be a fanboy" I felt that as someone who is yet to recover from HTC's demise
One does wonder how such a innovative tech giant lose sight of what customers want, going from benchmark worthy looks to eye puke worthy designs
The Android space in general is really boring these days, I miss being excited by it. But I definitely miss HTC by far. Their early versions of Sense always looked so cool to me. The only HTC I ever actually owned was the Droid DNA, but it was a great phone.
Maybe not for long, considering all that happens nowadays 🙄
Woohhh!! 🥴
You know I used iPhone. But when I realised that being a fan boy of apple doesn’t benefit me a bit. On the other hand, my mental disorder or isheepness only enriches the pocket of apple, a company that never wants to give a bit what we isheep fans literally BEGGED for.
We begged for type-c port. They refused.
We begged for fingerprint unlock system besides face-unlock at least in this pandemic. They brashed us away.
The list can go very long.
Now. I am not a isheep anymore.
You know how this benefit me? I only think which product of which company is serving me more. I use products from different companies
. I am not inside a ecosystem jail. I am free and benefiting myself.

Bruh do you use the vidIQ channel like your personal account XD
Still using my 7Pro. Still as fast as when it was new, everything still works fine, I love the 90Hz display. Back then it was a "new thing" nowadays it's normal in the high end. My only complaints would be the round corners, ghost touches are sometimes annoying, and the size - I have very large hands but I don't see a reason why the phone should be almost tablet size.
“Don’t be a fanboy.” Solid advice. People need to take it to heart.

Yesss
Quick question @Marques Brownlee
Are you using Garuda Linux by any chance on the desktop behind you, or is it just the wallpaper?
Love the video btw!
I just bought me a OnePlus, this device is awesome! We will have to see how the development goes
Quick fact: Marques has more phones than the average person's clothing items.
Marques has more phones than I've got fingers, toes and teeth. Getting close to moustache hairs but not quite there yet.
You can always shave...
No big surprise
Is there
He pulled out the drawer as I read this
@@MrYeet-ip4qj he pulled out the drawer after I read your comment hahaha
What happened to OnePlus:
*They settled*
Damn...I disagree though but that hit hard😂
@@felix__cs9916 they followed every major trend set by apple and moved away from their budget minded philosophy, I'd say that's settling
Intro and that wallpaper brings back so many memories 🔥 🤩
Got me a 8T and love it. I'm a hard core Verizon service fan and it wasn't until the 8 that they supported VZW. The thing I love is they tell you how to do updates and keep root and they aren't AntiRoot like most other brands are.
"Don't be a fan of the company" and the Tesla fans hands started shaking.
Tesla fans must be having a hard time with the save the environment motto on one hand and Elon Musk's "we will coup whoever we want" on the other. Then again, all of these corps are the same, there is no better Apple or Microsoft.
@@MegaGasek Tesla started in great way. And that "save environment" logo was great too. But currently they are no longer what it meant to be. Time changes everything...
@@sanjay_swain More than time I think money changes everything
@@sanjay_swain wait what happened? Im not a tesla fan btw
apple fans *cough
Marques casually taking phone from the drawer like he is picking out socks
That caught my eye too! :p
He has more phones than I have socks
I also have a room with selves dedicated to phones/tablets/smart watches lol

One plus was always a cool concept company for me, with new products popping up every so often making waves. That being said, it also didn’t have any push features that would say knock the iPhone or Galaxy off my pockets, especially since price as long as it wasn’t insanely above the flagship standard wasn’t a big factor on my end.
Just now found your reviews. Really good video, the way you move around, explain things. Have to hand it to you. 15M subscribers is insane with over 4M views on this video alone! You need to do a video on how you accomplished that extraordinary feat.
Speaking of brands, Hewlett Packard is an example of a company that lost focus and spiraled downward into the abyss. So sad to see as they were the anchor tenant of Silicon Valley. When I was in university studying back in the late 1970's they were known for quality and well-engineered designs. Now, they are junk. Every HP I have bought in the past 5 years has failed. I've since switched to Dell.
As to smartphones, I've just bought a Pixel 5A 5G phone and a Motorola one 5g Ace. We'll see which is the better one. In the past, Motorola has served me well, but with their mobile business sold to a Chinese firm, we'll see if they're able to maintain their quality levels.
Keep up the good work!
-What phone you have?
-One Plus
-Hmmm... Is that Samsung?
-Theres more than two smartphone brands out there
Exactly. Happens to me every time with my oneplus 7 pro. They ask me if I have an Apple phone as my priority phone, and I deny. Then everyone says what Samsung do you have then
@@jasonisreal 😂 then you feel embarassed saying that it's a Chinese brand right lol
- Hmmm ok Oneplus but which brand does it belong to?
- No, Oneplus is a brand!
- Ahhh ok..
Happens all the time man. I agree most people usually think samsung is the only android out there.
But the thing is when apple users talk shit about android they think all of them are ass like an old Huawei or something. They think Samsung, Google, Lg, and One plus phones are just as low quality.
"I have a oneplus 8 pro"
"Why not just say 9 pro?"
True story.
Lmao then you have no brand
?????? So any other brand
I had a oneplus 7pro and i told someone that and they said so an iphone 8? I died on the inside
Bruh lol

Mr. Marques pulling out phones like Candy 3:40 ... yes he did!!!!!
1:17 why did you have to switch to a slightly different location and camera?
you know you're an OG when you recognise the old intro song 🔥
And the Cheerios
don't forget the old wallpapers!
love this editing style.. felt like watching a documentary
It’s like Casey neistat
I came here to say this too. Those editing cuts and transitions feel excellent. Damn near an Apple launch
1:35 you forgot IQoo and Dizo, it's whole family of BBK 😆😆
