The OnePlus 5T Matches the Trend of Bezel-Less Smartphones and Improves Low-Light Camera Performance: First Impressions

OnePlus has done it again. The Chinese company which promised that the ‘T’ version would be exclusive to only OnePlus 3T has recently announced the OnePlus 5T– a tweaked version of the OnePlus 5, which was released just five months ago. The OnePlus 5 is one among the best phones of 2017, and the 5T takes the already best phone to a new level with a bezel-less design and much-needed camera boost.

When OnePlus launched the OnePlus 5, everyone complained why the company did not opt for a bezel-less design. But little would have expected that they will launch the 5T with the same bezel-less design as a standout feature. In fact, OnePlus even admitted to the media at the 5T event in New York as ‘They had no plans to launch the OnePlus 5T this year’. However, they turned the OnePlus 5 buyers into a massive disappointment as the 5T feels like a significant upgrade over the OnePlus 5.

OnePlus had a simultaneous event in India in New Delhi, where Vikas Agarwal, the General Manager at OnePlus India addressed the media saying that the company is leading the affordable flagship segment in the country. After the event, we were shown the 5T, and guess what, right from the first look, we thought that the current OnePlus 5 users should not look at the 5T. It’s bigger, beautiful, and matches the several 2017 flagship smartphones.

With the OnePlus 5T, we get a 6.01-inch edge-to-edge 18:9 display, with a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. OnePlus used a Samsung made, Optic AMOLED display on the 5T, and it’s gorgeous in our short time with the smartphone.

Thanks to the bezel-less design, OnePlus ditched the hardware capacitive keys and front-mounted fingerprint scanner for the first time. Before the launch of OnePlus 5, the Chinese upstart took customers feedback on the placement of the fingerprint scanner, and with the majority of them asked for a front-mounted scanner, they’ve gone with the same. Nevertheless, to make the bezels minimal, OnePlus has moved the scanner to the back of the phone. It’ still the fastest one out there in the market. I’ve tested the scanner on the Pixel 2, and OnePlus 5T, the one present on the latter is faster.
