At a special event in New York, OnePlus today announced the OnePlus 5T.
Like the OnePlus 3T before it, the OnePlus 5T represents a marginal update to its predecessor. In this case, OnePlus has updated the OnePlus 5 to feature a bezel-less display, aligning the OnePlus 5T, in terms of design at least, with competitors like the Galaxy S8 and iPhone X. In addition, the 5T features an upgraded camera package that promises to address some of the pitfalls of the OP5’s main camera.
