Finally OnePlus 5T launched with some highlighting features like 6.01-inch full-HD+ bezel-less display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. Another big highlight is its brand new dual camera setup, removing the telephoto lens and replacing it with a large aperture one.

OnePlus 5T hardware specs:

• 6-inch AMOLED screen, 18:9 ratio display
• Dual 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel rear cameras that focus on low-light and portrait photography
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor

• Face unlock (not secure enough for mobile payments)
• Fingerprint reader
• Slider button on side controls notifications
• 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
• Android 7.1.1 Nougat (Android 8.0 Oreo beta will come in late December)

Other than the changes to the display, the moving of the fingerprint sensor, and the various camera improvements, the rest of what is on offer with the OnePlus 5T reads identical to the OnePlus 5. Which means the OnePlus 5T will be available in different models RAM and storage models with the baseline version sporting 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, and a more premium version featuring 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Regardless of which RAM and storage option selected, both come powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, both make use of the company’s own Dash Charge fast charging solution, both sport a 3,300 mAh battery, USB Type-C connectivity, and both will come running on Android 7.1 (Nougat) at launch. Although OnePlus has stated it will begin rolling out an update to Android 8.0 (Oreo) in December as part of a beta program.

Like other OnePlus phones, the 5T runs a relatively clean version of Android -- called OxygenOS -- that doesn't throw a lot of extra apps and skins on top of the software. OnePlus claims this gives phone owners up to 20 percent greater power efficiency.
