The OnePlus 5T makes an appealing budget alternative to a flagship, with excellent hardware performance and impressive battery stamina. However, not all the flagship features are there, and we think more people will be bothered by the lack of wireless charging, QHD screen, waterproofing and a...

Great hardware; long-lasting battery; appealing price

Camera output is often grainy and particularly struggles in low light

The OnePlus 5T gives you this year's must-have mobile tech for less.

6-inch AMOLED screen with slim bezels; Great performance; simple software; Competitive price; Face unlock works well; Capable camera with strong portrait mode

No water resistance; Old version of Android installed at launch

OnePlus has always been a crowd-favorite among early adopters. Their releases are always spot on and OnePlus phones have always been heralded as the flagship-killer. It's a great alternative for those who are looking for the latest hardware with a generous amount of storage and memory.

* Nice; simple design; * Great performance; * Good dual camera setup; * Good price for a flagship; * Impressive battery life; * Fast charging

* Lacks water resistance; * No microSD card expansion slot; * No wireless charging support

OnePlus 5 was a very well received smartphone, and certainly one of the best that we saw this year. To keep the ball rolling and to keep the 5 relevant for a few more months, OnePlus is out with a mid-cycle hardware upgrade, the 5T, that further refines the premium mid-range experience and justifies...

In comparison with OnePlus 5, the 5T is slightly better with more modern features. It runs smoothly without troubling to kill the app running at the background. You can click quality shots in daylight and even in low light. It's a perfect choice, right now, at this price segment.

Sharp screen; good battery; performance; camera

Running on old Android N and Android 8.0 update will take months

After using the phone for three weeks, it's easy to conclude, that the OnePlus 5T is now a proper flagship.

Many people interested in the OnePlus 5T, reading this review, and pouring over the spec sheet will ask "where's the catch?" To be fair, OnePlus' latest doesn't reach perfect feature parity with every high-end handset.

Beautiful Screen; Blistering performance; Great battery life; Flagship-caliber cameras; Very fast charging: Amazing value

No wireless charging or microSD slot; Lacks optical zoom; Not water resistant

This year in June, we saw OnePlus 5 , the flagship killer that offers all-round experience until the OnePlus 5T arrived and it made the OnePlus 5 look obsolete. OnePlus 5T has gone bezel-less and it's the biggest difference to the OnePlus 5.

Bezel-Less Design & Large AMOLED Display; Blazing Fast Performance; Very Good Camera Package; Face Unlock Works Well; Dash Charging Support

No Android Oreo out-of-the-box; Not IP68 Certified; Lacks microSD support

The OnePlus 5T isn't a surprise, both in its existence and the fact it's very similar to the OnePlus 5. It stands as a reminder that 2017 was the year every company quickly produced a phone with an 18:9 display to make sure its bezels didn't look outdated on the store shelf.

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?;
