OnePlus updates current flagship with the launch of 5T

OnePlus isn’t completely scrapping the OnePlus 5 to make room for its new flagship. Instead, OnePlus is updating the device to make it more competitive when facing the flagships of other brands. The three biggest changes they concentrated on are: a new screen, facial unlock technology, and improved camera. The 5T now has a 6-inch 18:9 extra-widescreen display. It now has 15 percent more screen real estate than its predecessor but keeps the same body. OnePlus accomplishes this by putting the fingerprint sensor to the rear of the device.

More OnePlus 5T details unearthed in early unboxing video

An early unboxing video of the OnePlus 5T flagship smartphone has hit the internet and we can get a better idea of what this smartphone is all about or at least see how it looks in non render photos. While the device isn't scheduled for reveal or release until November 16, this can help interested buyers figure out it this is the phone to get. The video is kind of long, scrub to the two minute mark to get to the best parts.

Continuing its tradition of pushing exclusivity, OnePlus is selling tickets to a New York event for interested fans to watch the launch event, get some OnePlus memorabilia and get some hands on time with the device. Sporting a 6-inch display with a 18:9 display ratio, this flagship also comes with the Snapdragon 835 chipset with a staggering 8 GB RAM. A 20 megapixel rear camera and a 16 megapixel front-facing camera round up the device's top tier specs.

OnePlus CEO says fans will ‘appreciate’ pricing for the OnePlus 5T

It’s been rumoured before that the OnePlus 5T will cost the same as the OnePlus 5, which is €500 for the 64GB version and €560 for the 128GB model. But a rather vague tweet from OnePlus CEO Pete Lau suggests otherwise. He goes: “Cost of smartphone components is rising, but phones are also getting better. OnePlus users will appreciate what’s coming.”

As GSMArena points out, the trend with OnePlus (and most of the phone manufacturers really) is the price increases with each new device. Perhaps Lau is suggesting we’re getting better value for the price? Some of the earlier rumours about the device claim we’re getting an 18:9 display with a better camera. We now just have to wait and see if we are getting more from the newest OnePlus flagship.
