Things are changing almost overnight – Carl Pei (CEO of OnePlus) went from dodging questions about why OnePlus 5 is out of stock to posting a teasing photo, hinting at a “great camera”. Of course, he still hasn’t called out the OnePlus 5T by name, but it seems only a matter of time now – about a month if rumors are to be believed.

AnTuTu already gave away the camera upgrade and we’ve been seeing images of the redesigned look – an 18:9 screen surrounded by slim bezels on the front and a fingerprint reader relocated to the back. But those were mostly digital illustrations, how about the real thing?

Ask and you shall receive. The image below appeared on Weibo (we brightened it up a bit) and shows how thin the front bezel will be really – digital renderings tend to exaggerate. For completeness sake, here’s a rendering of the back as well.
