After the runaway success of OnePlus 5, the OnePlus 5T is the next highly-anticipated smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer. The rumour mills are running over-time with the latest ‘juicy tidbits’.
Emerging among these, tech portal TECHPP has managed to get their hands on some screenshots from the manufacturer’s own website, which shows the OnePlus 5T in almost full glory.
They show an almost bezel-less display with the new, taller 18:9 ratio and a missing front fingerprint reader.
OnePlus 5T and Oppo R11s: The Resemblance Is Uncanny
The smartphone in the leaked pictures has equal top and bottom bezels with almost no side bezels. Overall, it looks a bit generic. Like almost all the phones with an infinity display available nowadays.
The thin top and bottom bezels leave no space for the fingerprint reader, which until the OnePlus 5 resided below the screen, at front. The leaked images do not show the back side of the phone.
Reports are suggesting that the OnePlus 5T bears a strong resemblance to the upcoming Oppo R11s, which is due to release on November 2. It does not come as a surprise since Oppo calls most of the shots at OnePlus.
The major differentiating factor between the 5T and R11s will be OnePlus’ alert slider.
OnePlus 5T: Expected Specifications
Rumours are suggesting that OnePlus has included a dual selfie setup on the 5T, which is a step up from the OnePlus 5’s single selfie camera.
One more major difference would be the processor. Where the R11s is expected to pack in a Snapdragon 660, the OnePlus 5T will definitely feature the Snapdragon 835.
The 5T’s 18:9 aspect ratio, FHD+ display is expected to measure 5.99 inch and is a step up from its predecessor’s full HD display.
The storage capacity and RAM will most probably remain the same, with possible combinations of 6GB + 64GB and 8GB + 128GB versions.
In Anticipation
Whatever storage the new model packs in, whether or not it features a dual selfie-camera setup, one thing is sure, after OnePlus 5, it is the most hotly anticipated OnePlus smartphone right now. And the OnePlus 5 has become the best-selling premium smartphone online in india.
Though the OnePlus 5 is going to be a tough act to follow, the OnePlus 5T appears to be up to the task. Only time will tell whether it can come out of its predecessor’s rather big shadow.
Let’s wait and watch.
