In the past few days there has been a lot of buzz about the soon to come OnePlus 5T which shall be OnePlus‘s second flagship of 2017. Earlier in the year, they launched the OnePlus 5 which has received overall positive reviews from both, industry critics as well as the end user. Just like last year, OnePlus has decided to continue the trend of releasing a ‘T’ device, indicating that it is a more improved version of the mid year flagship.

It all started with the OnePlus 3 followed by the 3T, it was pretty much a winner for the first half of 2016. Things got even easier with the demise of the Note 7. So the OnePlus 3T was OnePlus’s answer as a Pixel-killer for just $440. It had the same specifications and improved camera optics and a 13% bigger battery, yet being almost $250 cheaper. Unsurprisingly, the 3T was a success!

hen you try to compare the alleged OnePlus 5T with the 5, the only major difference would be an 18:9 Display, as the industry trend for 2017 has been…. The core reason why the T series existed is absent.

There is no new processor in the market after the Snapdragon 835. The flagship phones that came out in the start of 2017 had the same chip, as the phones coming out this month.

There isn’t much room for camera improvement on the OnePlus 5, as the current crop of Dual Cameras is pretty good.

A bigger battery seems unlikely, as a bigger (taller) display would leave lesser space inside the body for a bigger power pack.

Samsung has followed the same pattern with it’s S and Note Series. But it is worth noting that the two have a lot of unique elements and a different target audience. Coming back to the question…
