The OnePlus 5T looks and feels like a more expensive phone than it is. The aluminum unibody design is understated and inoffensive, and I'm pleased OP is sticking with the headphone jack. Although, I think OnePlus would have been better served by keeping the old dual camera setup.

Speed This phone is fast ; It rivals the Pixel 2 most of the time, Display The 18:9 display offers more space without making the phone harder to hold, Fingerprint sensor Still one of the fastest out there, and it's on the back (the right place, Design Getting rid of the capacitive buttons is a win,...

Price again The OnePlus 5T brings another small price increase; These add up, and could eventually put OP in direct competition with the likes of Google and Samsung, No Oreo The phone launches with Android 7.1.1.

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

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 what's quickly becoming an annual tradtion for the company, OnePlus is back with a new take on a phone it released earlier in the year. For OnePlus, the OnePlus 5T represents a chance to improve on OnePlus 5, a device that was mostly stellar but marred by a less than great camera experience,...

Superlative performance in almost every context; 'Pure' Android with smart and thoughtful added features; Long-lasting battery and excellent fast charging support

Main camera still under performs in low-light; No waterproofing or inductive charging; Does not ship with Android Oreo pre-installed

Last year, OnePlus replaced the 3 with the 3T because there was a new processor available. This year, it's a new kind of display. In both cases, the changes wouldn't be major enough for large brands to break their yearly cycles, and that just shows the differences between the old and new guards.

When considering what phone to get this year, there's no shortage of great options. 2017 has easily been one of the best years ever for smartphones, and with so many phones looking alike and having near identical specs, the end choices seem to be more in favor of price and user experience.

Solid overall design; Great new display and bezel ratios; sRGB and DCI-P3 calibration options; Fingerprint sensor is ultra fast; Face unlock is just as fast as fingerprint scanning; Fantastic official cases; Lots of pack-ins and overall value; 3.5mm audio jack; High quality Bluetooth audio support...

No VR support; display is only 1080p, Not IP rated for water or dust resistance, Single bottom-firing speaker, Portrait mode has taken a step back from the OnePlus 5

The OnePlus 5T is a solid piece of the device for sure with the amazingly optimized processor, improved low-light camera, and a fluid UI. Even though the OnePlus 5T is not a quiet revolutionary upgrade from its predecessor, it does comes with few noteworthy changes on board and the company has...

Large 18:9 display is good; Snappy performance; Good camera; Dash Charging technology

Lacks OIS; Lacks IP certification; No Android Oreo at launch

The price of high-end smartphones has gotten out of control. The iPhone X starts at $1000, while Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 retails at $950, and as much as I like nice things, ponying up that much for a phone is kind of ridiculous.

Bigger screen; headphone jack; still reasonably priced No microSD card slot or wireless charging

OnePlus may not have it absolutely spot on in many departments, including camera and a handful of other premium features that the company tends not to offer on its devices. However, there's very little that compares to a OnePlus smartphone when it comes to performance.

OnePlus 5T clearly emerges as the winner in the 30K category without too much of competition there. The smartphone performs like a beast with top notch Qualcomm 835 chipset and shoots pictures like nothing less than DSLR with dual camera setup and pretty awesome low light output with f1.7.
