To recall, the OnePlus 5T was announced on November 16 and borrows the hardware found on its predecessor OnePlus 5, but brings a major redesign to the smartphone. With a new taller, thinner display, the OnePlus 5T falls in the same league as that of other flagship devices like the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and Galaxy S8 amongst others. The smartphone sports a 6-inch Full HD+ Optic AMOLED display with thinner top and bottom bezels and also supports the new taller 18:9 aspect ratio. The redesign also means that OnePlus has moved the fingerprint sensor from the front to the rear and it's placed where the finger will rest.
OnePlus 5T gets the same Snapdragon 835 mobile platform also powering the OnePlus 5 and comes in two storage variants: 6GB RAM model with 64GB storage and 8GB RAM variant with 128GB internal storage. Apart from the design, OnePlus has also tweaked the camera setup with focus on improved low-light and portrait photography. The smartphone features dual rear camera setup with 16MP primary sensor and a 20MP secondary sensor like the OnePlus 5 but drops 2x zoom support.
OnePlus says the camera automatically switches to the secondary 20MP sensor when the lighting drops to 10 lux. It also brings a new Portrait Mode that adds depth effect for pictures with blurred background. Further, the OnePlus 5T supports 4K video recording at 30fps and relies on electronic image stabilisation. It retains the 16MP front camera with EIS and 1080p video recording.
The OnePlus 5T supports connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS and 4G LTE. The smartphone, unlike recent flagships, retains the 3.5mm audio jack and runs OxygenOS based on Android 7.1 Nougat, with Oreo beta arriving later this month. The smartphone is backed by a 3300mAh battery and supports Dash Charge for fast charging. OnePlus has confirmed that it will phase out the OnePlus 5 and that the OnePlus 5T will be the only smartphone available from the company.
In terms of pricing, the OnePlus 5T is priced at Rs 32,999 for the 6GB RAM and Rs 37,999 for the 8GB RAM variant and will only be available in midnight black colour variant. Read our full review here.
