OnePlus 5T A new flagship phone from OnePlus

OnePlus 5T Release Date, News and Rumors

A new flagship phone from OnePlus
 

 OnePlus 5 was launched in June this year and was an instant hit among mass audience and OnePlus fan for its unique offering without putting a dent like Samsung and Apple flagships. And now, we are expecting that company might continue the OnePlus 5 series by introducing the OnePlus 5T smartphone. Last year the company launched the OnePlus 3 in June, and the smartphone was an instant hit world wide.

 Rumours surrounding the OnePlus 5T have been doing rounds for quite some time now. And as the alleged launch date is inching closer, half baked reports are pouring in at an alarming rate. Although earlier reports claimed that OnePlus won’t be reviving the ‘T’ series, but the recent buzz around the OnePlus 5T is so strong that it seems the reports weren’t accurate.
The OnePlus 5T or OPPO R11s may launch in the final quarter of this year, one industry insider said on Friday. While neither the OnePlus 5nor the OPPO R11 have yet been officially announced by their respective makers, the two Chinese original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may already be developing their successors, the insider said, suggesting that both OnePlus and OPPO are looking to continue pursuing their aggressive product strategies that have so far led them to keep releasing premium Android devices on an almost semi-annual basis. The source added that the OnePlus 5T may feature a glass back panel, indicating that the handset could support some contemporary wireless charging standard. While the insider stated that one of the two devices might launch as early as Q3 2017, that doesn’t seem like a likely scenario.


OnePlus 5T Specs

 If the rumours are to be believed, the OnePlus 5T will feature a bezel-less display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Slashleaks revealed the a fresh render of the smartphone that shows an edge-to-edge display similar to what we have already seen on Galaxy S8. Also there is no fingerprint sensor on the front panel of the device.


Apart from the alleged 6-inch bezel-less display, the device is rumoured to have the same metal body like the OnePlus 5. The company is also expected to tuck in a dual camera setup using a 20MP and 16MP sensors. For selfies, the smartphone can boast a 16MP front snapper.
The smartphone is said to be powered by Snapdragon 835 processor and will run the latest Android Oreo with the Oxygen skin atop. The smartphone will be backed by 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. We could also expect an 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage.

When is the OnePlus 5T release date?

We have to be honest here and say we’re not even convinced the OnePlus 5T is going to be announced. A fake event invitation and a picture that may actually be the Oppo F5 are not enough to persuade us.

However, OnePlus has produced a halfway upgrade before, and the omission of an 18:9 display in its current flagship is a bit of a misstep if it wants to be known as a flagship killer.

Plus there’s the fact it’s becoming increasingly difficult to buy the OnePlus 5, which is no longer in stock on the official site.
It’s just possible that although the event invitation itself is a fake, the OnePlus 5T could be real - as could be the launch date.
We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for any news and update this article accordingly.


How much will it Cost?

There hasn’t been any information about the OnePlus 5T price leaked online yet, so we can’t say anything for certain.
Given that the OnePlus 5T is looking as though it’ll be a premium device – akin to the iPhone X – we’d expect a minor price hike.

The OnePlus 5 currently costs £449 for the 64GB model, and £499 for the 128GB model. That’s far below the prices of its key rivals, with most flagships currently retailing for beyond £650.
If an all-screen OnePlus is released, it’s probably going to cost more in the region of £599+, although we’ve heard nothing official on the matter thus far.

LG V30 review

LG V30 A Great Big Phone LG’s smartphone division is in an interesting position right now. They are continuing to produce decent handsets with innovative additions each year, yet the company can’t get much traction in the market in the face of strong competition from other brands. The G6 was LG’s best phone design in years, launching as one of the first with a small-bezel display, but sales have not rocketed as expected. The V30 is in a similar position. Occupying the flagship large-screen phone position in LG’s line-up, the V30 is packed with interesting features, top-end hardware and enough good stuff to match this year’s competitors. But it’s once again up against some massive new devices, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 XL, leaving LG with an uphill battle to ensure the V30 remains in the conversation. But now there's the LG V30. As the name suggests, it's a direct successor to last year's V20 — the product of a very different LG, w...

iMac Pro First Impression

iMac Pro   First Impression   Apple’s goal with professional hardware has always been to inspire creatives and developers to produce new things. That’s not an altruistic objective; the more creative things get made on Macs, the more other creatives and developers are drawn to the platform, and the more Macs are sold. To that end, the iMac Pro is available to order today, so we spoke with Apple and several third-party developers who were introduced to us by Apple. We learned more about the iMac Pro and how people expect to use it to improve performance or add new features to their applications. It’s still not upgradeable in any significant way, apart from external GPUs. And of course, it starts at $5,000. Still, Apple has made a compelling case for the device by allowing the use cases to speak for themselves. We’ll go over the specifics about the machine and then explore some of the use cases we saw. Externally, the new iMac Pro is indistinguishable from the exis...

Moto G5S Review

Moto G5S Motorola's Best Budget SmartPhones You'd be forgiven for not paying close attention to the release of the Moto G5S Plus; it snuck into the company's lineup in early August alongside the Moto G5S. The 'S' stands for "Special Edition" (Moto G5SE Plus was too much of a mouthful?), and they're moderately improved versions of the existing Moto G5 line that debuted earlier in the year. Why would Motorola introduce slightly updated versions of existing phones less than six months after their release? Who knows?! What I do know is that the Moto G5S Plus, which is available unlocked in the U.S. for $279, is one of the better budget phones you can buy, but the slightly better build quality, additional camera, and larger display don't justify the additional cost over the existing Moto G5 Plus. Moto G5S Design The G5S marks a big step up from its predecessor. Where the G5 merely had an aluminium rear panel, the G5S’s unibody desi...
