OnePlus 5T review

The 5T is a slick improvement on an already slick phone, with useful extras in addition to that eye-catching screen. It’s still very much a handset made to a budget, which becomes clear when you stick it next to a more expensive rival - there’s no waterproofing, wireless charging, or expandable storage, and as much as we prefer metal for its sturdiness, glass is most definitely in right now. The mere six month turnover between phones might sting a bit if you recently sprung for a OnePlus 5, too. We've been criticising Sony for doing the same for years, so it's only fair to give OnePlus some stick too. Really though, the price is what should make the 5T a winner. You’re getting a more modern screen, slicker camera and smart bonuses like facial recognition, for the same price as the old phone - that’s half the price of an Apple or Google handset.

18:9 aspect screen brings it bang up to date; Slight camera improvements; Same great performance & battery life;

No waterproofing, wireless charging; Camera quality still middle of the pack; A bit too soon?;
