The new OnePlus 5T comes with three key upgrades over the original OnePlus 5. The first and most discernible change is the design language.
The new phones comes with a bigger 6.01-inch full-HD+(2160x1080p) Optic AMOLED display having 18:9 aspect ratio, thus guaranteeing an immersive cinematic viewing experience.
The OnePlus 5T camera MP count is same as the OnePlus 5; the key difference is that the new phone comes with the same aperture value of f/1.7 for both the cameras (16MP+20MP) in the dual setup, whereas in OnePlus 5, the telephoto lens has an f/2.6 aperture.
With this minor change, the company says the new phone will be able to get better-quality images in low-light conditions.
On the front, OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T have the same 16MP snapper with Sony IMX370 sensor, but the latter has additional software that allows it to have the face unlock feature with record 400ms speed.
