The OnePlus 5T features a 6.01-inch bezel-less Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device houses Snapdragon 835 SoC, which is currently the second most powerful processor from Qualcomm. The device is available with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The 6GB RAM variant has 64GB of storage, and the 8GB RAM variant has 128GB of storage. The OnePlus 5T has Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Oxygen OS 5.0.3 customisation. The device is expected to receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update in March 2018.
The OnePlus 5T has a 16MP + 20MP dual-camera setup on the back, and a single 16MP snapper at the front. The dual-camera setup at the back has phase-detection autofocus and dual-LED flash. Thanks to the dual-camera setup, the OnePlus 5T can capture images with background blur. The smartphone has a 3300mAh battery, and it features DashCharge technology. The Dash Charge technology is a fast charging technology that can fill the OnePlus 5T’s battery up to 80% in just 30 minutes. Currently, the OnePlus 5T is among the fastest charging smartphones on sale in India.
The OnePlus 5T apart from its fingerprint scanner on the back, has face unlock feature. The face unlock feature, as the name suggests, unlocks the smartphone by scanning the user’s face through front-facing camera. We reviewed the OnePlus 5T and found its face unlock to be even faster than the face unlock of the Apple iPhone X. Although, the face unlock in the OnePlus 5T isn’t as secure as the face unlock of the Apple iPhone X. The OnePlus 5T has two SIM cards slots, and it supports 4G LTE with VoLTE. The OnePlus 5T is also among the very few smartphones that have a combination of Bluetooth v5.0 and aptX HD.
OnePlus 5T vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 vs Nokia 8
As we’ve mentioned earlier, the OnePlus 5T competes with the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and the Nokia 8. We’ve reviewed all the three devices and found the OnePlus 5T to be the best smartphone among them, as it has a better screen, better camera, and smoother performance than the other two smartphones it competes with. In case you didn’t already know, OnePlus is going to launch the OnePlus 6 in the coming months. So, if you are planning on purchasing the OnePus 5T, you should definitely consider waiting for the OnePlus 6.
