The OnePlus 5T is the mid-season substitute to the company's flagship (and, as of late, only) smartphone. The T doesn't bring radical changes on the contrary; it's a minor update to help the 5 stay in fashion and, as a side effect, why not spark up buzz right in time for holiday shopping. The most significant and readily visible alteration is the screen - it's now a trendy, tall, 18:9 6-incher. It's not s state-of-the-art resolution, but OnePlus has always insisted anything beyond FullHD is overkill. Well, this one is, but just on the long end 2,160x1,080 is all the pixels you're getting.  No, in fact, you're getting more pixels, some 52 million of them, spread over three cameras. The one on the front remains unchanged at 16MP, f/2.0, and so does the primary unit on the back another 16MP, this one with a wider aperture f/1.7 lens.

But the 'secondary' cam on the back is new, sort of - 20MP like on the previous model, but now with a different, f/1.7 aperture lens. 'They made a telephoto lens that bright?', you ask. No, they didn't - the secondary cam has the same 27mm equivalent focal length as the primary one - the aim is to improve lowlight photography, but portraits with blurred backgrounds are a go, too, fret not.

The rest of the OnePlus 5T is very much the same as the OnePlus 5, which isn't really a bad thing. For the most part. These in-between OnePlus models - we can't make up dad-joke-grade number puns when there are letters in the name. Cheers, OnePlus, for sparing us the embarrassment with the 5T. Read More -->
