In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“it's bulkier it's heavier and they swapped the slightly curved display to a completely flat one”
“if you are set on buying a new phone in a sealed box with your one-year warranty then this is still the way to go for a lot of people”

“this is a one plus victory right out the box”
