OnePlus 5T launch: 'all-screen' experience at half price of iPhone X
The latest Android smartphone from Chinese upstart OnePlus hopes to tempt users looking for the new all-screen experience, but at less than half the price of an iPhone X. The 5T is a revamped version of the 5 launched in June and marks the second time the company has updated its smartphone line more than once in a year. According to co-founder Carl Pei, this is because "when we've got new technology ready to go we don't want to leave our users with older devices". Launched in New York, the 5T is essentially a OnePlus 5 on the inside, with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, memory and storage options, fast-charging system and Oxygen OS software based on last year's Android 7.1.1, It even costs the same, priced at £449, undercutting rivals by at least several hundred pounds. But the 1080p AMOLED screen has been stretched to the now popular 18:9 ratio, filling the front of the display with thin bezels at the top, bottom and sides.
