3 things really surprised me about this phone. The build, the display, and the battery. All exceeded my expectations. I was worried about going from a 1440p LCD display to this 1080p AMOLED but I like this screen way more than my previous phones. The vivid colors are outstanding.

Exceptional battery life; Beautiful screen; Incredibly fast; Active development; Great build quality; Good value; Software is nice; Top notch specs

Photos lack detail; Low light pictures are bad

OnePlus considers its T series handsets to be an extension and evolution of its summer releases, taking what it's already achieved and making it more relevant with a selection of significant updates.

Flagship power at affordable price; Premium look with headphone jack; Face unlock and fingerprint reader

Display still ‘only' full HD; No expandable storage; Arrives with older Android 7

The OnePlus 5T is a very impressive phone. It's got a sleek, premium design, a great dual camera setup, and it's unbelievably fast. With the updated screen and camera, it certainly puts a cat among the Android flagship pigeons. At this price, it's tough to beat. Liked this?

Lack of expandable memory

OnePlus' refreshed flagship has a swanky 18:9 screen and a camera that's intended for use in low-light; and it's now available in white

Big 18:9 screen; Same size as before; Reasonable price

No microSD expansion; No waterproofing

OnePlus has released a special edition "Lava Red" version of the OnePlus 5T. You can here, while stocks last. Check out the pictures of the lovely looking Valentine themed device below.

Good OLED screen; Slick software experience; Still excellent value; Seriously fast

No water-resistance; Average camera

Great hardware; long-lasting battery; appealing price

The OnePlus 5T replaces its sibling as the best phone to buy in the sub-40k price bracket. However, for Android lovers, this doesn't have the newest version of the OS and lacks a camera that can take on the Google Pixel 2 XL.

Well built; Good performance; Nice display; Improved low light photography; still not the best

No water or dust resistance; Not running on Android Oreo out of the box
