Design and Display
The OnePlus 5T parades a unibody design that features industrial aluminium. This easily announces itself as a premium offering. You cannot miss the similarity in appearance to the predecessor. But it takes things further. The OnePlus 5T essentially packs a 6-inch display in the body of a 5.5-inch smartphone.
The almost bezel-less design means the Optic AMOLED (OLED) display by Samsung boasts an 18:9 aspect ratio. Users won’t be wrong to expect superb viewing experience. Images should come out sharp and in good colours with an FHD+ resolution of 2,160 x 1,080 pixels.
Camera
You get dual cameras on the rear of the OnePlus 5T, just as you have it on its predecessor. The OnePlus 5T comes with 16MP and 20MP sensors. This might look exactly as what the OnePlus 5 offered. But the maker has replaced the previous telephoto sensor with longer focal length. Both sensors now have similar focal length and 1.7 aperture.
You still get a 16MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture for your selfie needs. The primary camera records 4K videos at 30 fps while the selfie camera does Full HD.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, the OnePlus 5T carries flagship standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. This offers four Kryo CPUs running at 2.45 GHz and another four at 1.9 GHz. For truly heavy-duty performance and seamless multitasking, you get 6GB or 8GB RAM.
Onboard storage is equally awesome at 64 GB or 128 GB, depending on the model you buy. OnePlus’ Oxygen OS 4.7, based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, gets things going.
Other Specs and Features
The fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 5T finds its way to rear – the slim bezels explain this. There’s support for 4G LTE that promises theoretical download speeds of up to 600 Mbps. Connectivity features also include USB Type-C port, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0 and dual band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.
A 3,300mAh battery takes charge of juice supply. This enjoys the support of Dash Charge technology, regarded as one of the best around.

OnePlus 5T is available in Nigeria. It is currently sold for $499 in the United States for the 6GB RAM/64GB storage model and $559 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage models.
