According to the latest reports, the company could introduce the ‘Lava Red’ colour variant of OnePlus 5T in India on 26th January.

Initially, the OnePlus 5T was launched in only one colour — Midnight Black. Later, to mark the company’s fourth anniversary, OnePlus introduced ‘Lava Red’ colour variant in China. At the time, it was expected to be exclusively for the company’s home market.

Last month, the company launched another variant of the phone — Star Wars Edition, available in white colour. Although it was first announced in India, the limited edition has been made available globally.

Apart from this, the company is also teasing a launch of a new variant of OnePlus 5T, which is believed to the one with Sandstone finish. The company has posted a video on YouTube in which users are holding a mystery device in the box. The video ends with the caption – “Unbox the mystery. January 2018.”

As per the reports, the OnePlus 5T Lava Red edition will be available only in the high-end model, which packs 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. All the specifications on the phone remains same. It features a 6-inch Optic AMOLED FHD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and a screen resolution of

The OnePlus 5T comes with a rear-mounted dual camera system that features a 16-megapixel camera sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 20-megapixel sensor having the same f/1.7 aperture. There is a 16MP IMX 371 camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture.

OnePlus 5T, the new flagship smartphone from China-based OnePlus was launched last month. After its international debut, the smartphone was announced for the China market.

In China, OnePlus 5T’s first sale took place today. However, prior to that, the China-based online retailer JD.com announced that it received over 450,000 reservations ahead of the sale. The numbers were achieved within just 48 hours as the phone was announced on November 28.

Both variants of the smartphone — one with 6GB RAM and another with 8GB of RAM were available for purchase in China in Midnight Black colour. Another colour variant — Lava Red, which was announced exclusively in China, will go on sale from December 17.

The OnePlus 5T is already available for purchase in India, Europe and the US. In terms of specifications, it is not much different from its predecessor, except for display and camera.

The smartphone comes with a 6.01-inch Optic AMOLED display that covers the major portion of the front panel due to the screen-to-body ratio of around 80 percent. The display has a Full HD+ with a screen resolution 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor. The 6GB RAM model comes with 64GB storage while the 8GB RAM model has 128GB internal storage. The device packs 3,300mAh battery which also supports company’s own Dash Charging technology.

Due to the full-screen display with narrow bezels, there is no space for the home button. Thus, the fingerprint sensor has been placed on the back side instead of being embedded in the home button.

The phone comes with a rear-mounted dual camera system that features a f/1.7 aperture 16-megapixel camera sensor and a f/1.7 aperture 20-megapixel camera sensor. There is also a front-facing camera of 20-megapixels which has a f/2.0 aperture. It is running Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system based Oxygen OS 4.7.

OnePlus 5T is still very fresh out of the factory and expectedly, fans would be eager to know more about the performance of the smartphone in real life us. Well, this isn’t a test of how you would ever use the OP5T phone but it is one important test. Talking about the durability test by popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything.

OnePlus finally unveiled the much-anticipated OnePlus 5T in a ceremony in New York on November 16, just about 4 days back. We couldn’t hope for any better from the Chinese company. The OnePlus 5T was indeed a slight upgrade of the OP 5 which was still some months old on the market and before anything else, we thing OnePlus got it right this time around. On the internals, there isn’t much difference except on the rear camera where OnePlus dished the secondary telephoto lens in favour of a wide-angle sensor in a bid to improve the rear camera’s picture quality.

The OnePlus 5T saw most of its changes in the display design where OnePlus made the wise decision of shifting to the trending full-view display design which has become very popular since the Galaxy S8 was released. The OP 5T is also sleeker and larger (taller) than the OP 5 and the large display does promise a better user experience. The device is just as thin as the OP5, though a bit taller to accommodate for the larger 18:9 6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display at the front. It’s really a marginal difference, though, as the company managed to seriously minimize the bezels at the top and bottom of the OnePlus 5 in the 5T, resulting in a flagship that’s more in line with other 2017 flagship devices from the likes of Samsung and Google.

The OnePlus 5T prides itself with having an 80.5% screen-to-body ratio, with minimally curved corners (the radius of curvature is smaller than what’s found on devices like the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8, for example).  Users are now able to choose from sRGB, Adaptive Mode, DCI-P3 and the Default color profile, while still being able to customize color temperature and access night mode for blue light filtering, and reading mode for additional contrast on a sepia color palette. There is also a Sunlight Display mode for better outdoor visibility. We should be looking at a better display than the OP 5 especially as we are told the jelly scrolling issue on the OnePlus 5 display isn’t present on the 5T.

There is no such thing as a perfect smartphone, but when the OnePlus 5 was released and discovered to have got a “jelly scrolling” issue with its display, it took imperfection to a new height. That is because the OP 5 was supposed to be a flagship model that shouldn’t have such obvious flaws. Whatever disappointment that was on the OP 5 seems to have been corrected on the newly launched OnePlus 5T. XDA Developers have been able to unravel that the newly-unveiled OnePlus 5T does not experience such issue.

In case you don’t know what “Jelly scrolling” means, here is the thing. It is a phrase used to describe the undesired effect noticed on the display whereby some content on the screen appear stretched and squashed when scrolling. Just like a jelly, the screen doesn’t respond swiftly when scrolled instead the screen content seem to lag behind. A theory was put forward back then that the jelly scrolling issue may be as a result of the fact that the OnePlus 5 uses an inverted screen. This was discovered when the OP5’s teardown was compared to that of the OnePlus 3T and others. Also, the kernel source code for the display was dug up by a developer and it clearly showed the inversion was captured in the source code.

OnePlus later acknowledged the issue but stated that it was perfectly normal but some users would have none of that as they find it distracting and annoying. Some even took advantage of the 15-day return window to send back the smartphone and get a refund. But in the real sense, it could easily be ignored. You won’t have to ignore or live with the same issue on the OnePlus 5T, though, as the issue is none existent or so we are told. We’d have to wait for the teardown to know if we still have an inverted screen or if the screen has been turned upright. But a check on the code of the display panel by an XDA Developer shows it is not inverted but is sitting upright at 180 degrees. We’ll surely bring you Linus’ review here on Gizmochina. Wait for it to confirm if actually the issue has been sorted out.

After months of leaks, rumors and speculations, the OnePlus 5T smartphone has been officially launched by the company at an event in New York. The smartphone, which aims to take on the premium offerings from the likes of Apple and Samsung, comes with a stretched-out display, facial recognition, new camera system, improved software, among others.

One of the highlight of the smartphone is its display. The OnePlus 5T comes with a 6.01-inch Full HD+ Optic AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio which is quickly becoming a standard form factor. It has 80.5 percent screen-to-body ratio and comes with DCI-P3 color coverage.

There is a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top, protecting the display from minor scratches. The company still insists on the Full HD display and has thus passed over Quad HD display which most of the premium devices are offering.

Due to the larger display on the front, there is no space for a home button. As a result, the fingerprint sensor has been moved to the back, just above the OnePlus branding. The company claims that fingerprint sensor can unlock the phone in under 0.2 seconds.

Interestingly, the phone also comes a new “Face Unlock” feature that has over 100 identifiers for distinguishing various faces. However, it cannot be used for authenticating purchases as it is not secure enough.

In terms of specifications, most of the internals remains same as its predecessor. It is powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor, which is currently the top-end smartphone chipset from Qualcomm. The smartphone will be available in two variants — 6GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage and 8GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage.

Apart from display, the company has also focused on improving the camera performance. It still comes with the same 16-megapixel primary sensor at the back, with wide-angle lens and large f/1.7 aperture. However, the secondary tele-photo lens has now been replaced by 20-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture for better low-light photography and improved depth-of-field.

The company has implemented something called “Intelligent Pixel Technology” on the OnePlus 5T which groups pixels together when taking low-light shots to capture enough light and dark data. As per the company, the result should be cleaner low-light shots.

At the launch, the company took a lot of time talking about the OnePlus 5T’s software. So we expected the smartphone to come with Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box, but instead, it still runs Android 7.0 Nougat based OxygenOS, which comes with some new features and improvements. OnePlus says that the beta version of Android Oreo will be available by the end of this year, but for the stable build, users will have to wait till “early 2018”.

 The smartphone is powered by a 3,300mAh battery which also supports Dash Charging. Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11ac dual-band (2×2 MU-MIMO ), Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD, GPS/GLONASS/Beidou, USB 2.0 Type-C and NFC.

The OnePlus 5T will cost $499 for the 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage variant while the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model is priced at $559 — same as its predecessor. The smartphone will be available in Midnight Black colour and will go on sale from November 21 in India, North American and Europe.

OnePlus will be going live with the OnePlus 5T in less than an hour’s time in a ceremony holding in New York. We all can’t be in New York and besides, it is a ticketed event that is already sold out. You shouldn’t bother about catching a glimpse of the launch event first hand as you can do that online. OnePlus will Livestream the launch event to the entire world and you too can watch the event live from below.

While we thought we had seen all that the OP 5T has to offer via leaked videos and photos, OnePlus released a video earlier today which captured the exhilarating reactions of four people who were seeing the OnePlus 5T in real life for the first time. We assume the reactions are genuine and not stage-managed. If that be the case, the video suggests the full-view display design will be more captivating than what we’ve seen via leaked renders and photos. OnePlus kept the photo of the device pixelated in the entire video, thus keeping us wondering what the device actually looks like in real life. In that case, you wouldn’t want to miss the event as the flagship 5T gets unwrapped. You’ll get a first-hand view of the device as it is unmasked and when that happens, we’ll find out if it is a hit or miss. We hope it turns out to be a big hit, though.

As of the smartphone’s pricing, there are two contradictory reports. Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau suggested that the OnePlus 5T could be priced higher than OP5 by Tweeting that the prices of the mobile phone components are increasing faster than the housing costs in Shenzhen.

However, previously, when a OnePlus fan had asked him whether 4,000 Yuan is sufficient for buying OnePlus 5T, Lau responded by saying that it is enough. It’s just a matter of few days as the company will announce the price while launching the smartphone on 16th November.

The OnePlus 5T is still six days from launching but yesterday, all the details (including “unboxing” images) save for the price were leaked online.

The OnePlus 5T has been in the news for a while with lots of anticipation in the mobile tech space ahead of its launch on November 16. These specs leak gives us not only tell us what is coming but also lets us form an early opinion of the phone.

OnePlus 5T Packaging & Unboxing

The OnePlus 5T retains the red and white retail box that OnePlus has been using for its last three phones. Open it up ad you have the same arrangement – the phone, some paper work, the dash charger, and the cable.

OnePlus 5T Specs

The highlight of the OnePlus 5T is its new display which has influenced the design of the phone. The trend feature in phones this year has been full-screen displays and OnePlus joins the bandwagon with the OnePlus 5T.

According to leaked promotional materials, the OnePlus 5T has a full optic-AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The 6.01 inch FHD+ screen is protected by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5 with support for DCI-P3 and sRGB. OnePlus also says that the form factor has been kept similar to that of the OnePlus 5 and mentions the phone has a screen-to-body ratio of 8.0.5%.

The display has taken up much of the space in front and the bezels have been reduced, resulting in the fingerprint scanner moving to a new position – the back of the phone. The scanner is still pretty fast as OnePlus claims it unlocks in 0.2s.

Sunlight Display

Just like the OnePlus 5, the 5T comes with its own display tricks. The phone has a new feature called Sunlight Display. The feature is described as a software algorithm that lets the phone automatically adapt to harsh light.

The Sunlight Display works in four scenarios- when you access the gallery, when you are playing a game, when you take a photo, and when you record a video. The display’s contrast is one of the features that is adjusted to provide the improved viewing experience.

The OnePlus 5T will come with a Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage.

OnePlus 5T Cameras

The OnePlus 5T  will retain the dual camera combo on the rear. One is a 16MP Sony IMX398 1.12um f/1.7  sensor and the other is a 20MP Sony IMX376K 1.0um f/1.7 sensor. Both cameras have a focal length of 27.22mm. The phone will be able to record in 4K, 1080p, and slo-mo. It will also have EIS for 4K videos out of the box.

OnePlus says it has redesigned the camera app by providing one-handed access to all the camera modes with a simple up or down swipe.

The front camera also remains 16MP. It is a Sony IMX371 sensor with a F/2.0 aperture and a 1.0um pixel size. It will have support for HDR and screen flash for providing illumina in poorly lit conditions.

The OnePlus 5T will have a USB-C  port with support for USB audio even though It still has a 3.5mm audio jack. There will be dual SIM support, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX and aptx-HD.

As predicted earlier, OnePlus will be playing its tricky OS game by launching the 5T with Android 7.1.1 Nougat rather than Android 8.0 Oreo. That way it can count Android Oreo as one of the two major software updates the phone will get.

The OnePlus 5T will also keep the 3300mAh battery of the OnePlus 5 as well as the 34-band support which means it has global LTE support.

OnePlus’ fans have a golden opportunity to test run the amazing OnePlus 5T flagship before it hits the road. OnePlus is giving to 10 lucky reviewers, the new 5T for little involvement. The company disclosed this when it announced the launch of yet another edition of OnePlus Lab, a section of the forum devoted just to the OnePlus 5T community for feedback and suggestions. This is coming just a week before the OP 5T will be officially unveiled in a press event scheduled to hold in New York City on November 16.

The program is meant to be a marketing push for the phone and it would see 10 reviewers with a stellar knack for phone reviews. The 10 lucky reviewers will get the phone ahead of the launch, meaning the program’s window will be very short before selection will be wrapped up. The reviewers will then use the phone and share their impressions and reviews with the community.

Barely 24 hours after OnePlus took to its Twitter page to hint at the international launch of the OnePlus 5T on November 16 in Brooklyn, New York, the company has officially teased the launch of the flagship model in China for November 28. The teaser poster for the launch in China appeared on OnePlus’ official Weibo page and it reveals that the launch event would hold at 14:00 in Beijing while the sales would commence by 10 AM on December 1.

The teaser poster is the same as that used to announce the upcoming launch in New York City and the major highlight apart from the date, is the theme “A New View”. This is no doubt, a reflection of the full-screen design the device is expected to pack. OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu confirmed this in his Weibo message where he hinted that the device will be a true flagship this time around with a new display size. There won’t likely be any difference in design and specifications between the international version and the Chinese version of the OP5T but the Chinese version may likely come in slightly cheaper.

The OnePlus 5T specification is pretty much known, but to refresh our memories, here’s a recap. The flagship model is expected to feature a 6-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution which means they would adopt an 18:9 aspect ratio. The flagship model is also expected to pack a Snapdragon 835 flagship processor like the OP5. The device is expected with an 8GB RAM + 128GB memory while there may likely be a 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. Apart from the full-view display screen, the large memory will be another major selling point of the device. On the camera end, we expect a 20MP + 16MP dual camera setup at the rear while there will be a 20MP selfie camera at the front.

The post It’s Official! OnePlus 5T Launch In China Set For November 28, Sales Begin December 1 appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the past few days, OnePlus officially confirmed the existence of the OnePlus 5T. Earlier today, the company even confirmed that the launch will take place in New York, without giving out an exact date of the event. The display is said to be upgraded to a 6-inch 18:9 display in the new model but the internals should be more or less the same as the OnePlus 5.

While we are still busy figuring out the exact specs of the OnePlus 5T, our source reveals the probable pricing for the model. The OP5T should most likely start at 3499 Yuan ($525) for the 6GB + 64GB model and 3999 Yuan ($600+) for the 8GB + 128GB model. If true, this would make the new model $70-$80 costlier than the existing OnePlus 5 which started at 2999 Yuan ($450). Considering the rumored specs, the OnePlus 5T would once again be a true value for money flagship but this time around, the difference between its price and those of the mainstream competitors wouldn’t be significant. For example, right now, you can get an unlocked Galaxy S8 for around $630. So, things could get tougher for OnePlus at this price tag.

While our source has been right so far, we cannot be 100% sure of these figures. But expect the final pricing to be close to these figures. After all, OnePlus CEO recently confirmed on Weibo that $600 should be enough to purchase the upcoming handset.

What do you think about these prices?

The post OnePlus 5T Probable Pricing Revealed, Still Quite Competitive appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus has confirmed that there is indeed a OnePlus 5T coming. A blog post as to why they kept the audio jack was the official reveal. Another confirmation of the device’s existence was on Weibo. The micro-blogging site is known to show the device used in posting. And on Thursday, a post by OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau, revealed the device in use was a OnePlus 5T.

Today, the OnePlus 5T has been seen on GFXBench and the benchmarking site reveals some specification details of the upcoming phone. The listing itself isn’t on the official GFXBench site. We don’t know if it was pulled down or if this is genuine, so we advice you take this with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus 5T is shown here running Android 7.1.1 Nougat and not Android 8.0 which is disappointing. We won’t be surprised if that is what it actually comes with out of the box. We saw the same scenario play out last year with the OnePlus 3T. Android Nougat was already out but it came with Android Marshmallow out of the box. Weeks later, it got upgraded to Nougat and it is up for an update to Oreo – its last major update. Hence fulfilling the unwritten rule of at least two major OS updates.

We hope OnePlus doesn’t pull the same trick with the OP5T. It will be disappointing as it is seen as a very lazy move.

The OnePlus 5T is shown as sporting a 6.01-inch display with a 2160 x 1080 resolution that translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio. The processor is the Snapdragon 835 with an Adreno 540 GPU, same as the OnePlus 5

For RAM and ROM, there will be a 6GB RAM model with 64GB ROM and an 8GB RAM model with 128GB of storage. Rear camera is listed as a 16MP sensor but we know it is a dual camera setup. The front camera has been bumped up from 16MP to 20MP.

There is no battery info, so we are still in the dark about that. However, if you have been waiting for wireless charging to come to the OnePlus, you will have to keep hoping. Pete Lau took to weibo to explain why they don’t see it happening soon.

According to him, as long as there is Dash Charge there is no reason for wireless charging. Whichever one you use, your device still stays in one spot while charging. He also adds that the wireless charging coil make phones thicker, which apparently is not what they are aiming for.

The post OnePlus 5T Seen on GFXBench: 6” 18:9 Display & Up To 8GB of RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

It’s official! The OnePlus 5T is real and it’s coming soon. After the first teaser confirming the name, the company CEO has come out to talk about its upcoming flagship. While CEO Pete Lau hasn’t revealed an exact date of release of the handset (which btw we all are waiting to hear!), what he did confirm was the presence of the 3.5mm headphone jack. A few years back, no one would have ever thought mentioning the presence of a headphone jack would be a big smartphone feature. But in 2017, this seemingly standard 3.5mm headphone jack has split fans into two different sections — those who can live without it and those who cannot.

You don’t have to worry about this question as it turns out, OnePlus cares a lot about the 3.5mm headphone jack and it’s here to stay on the company’s upcoming smartphones. Not only did Pete confirmed the slot on the upcoming 5T, he even shared a render in the blog post. It shows just one part of the phone — where the headphone jack lies, but before you start claiming that this could be the render of the existing OP5, note that the company has made our lives easier by naming it “this is the OnePlus 5T Render no doubt about that”. So, take it as the first official render of the flagship.

Pete explained his company’s decision to keep the headphone jack and it boils down to two major points — 1. Cheap wireless headphones still aren’t as good as wired ones and 2. giving users the freedom of using whatever headphones you want, without any additional accessories. These are pretty valid points and it’s actually a good decision considering about 80% of OnePlus customers are wired headphone users.

With this post, one thing is clear — the launch is near! If previous reports are to be believed, the OnePlus 5T could meet us by the end of November. That’s like a few weeks away and during this period, expect us to be briefed about the phone via new leaks and official teasers.

Now that the phone is confirmed, it all comes down to the pricing of the OnePlus 5T. Considering the rumors, an 18:9 6-inch display is in tow, but how much premium would OnePlus charge for this change is something that will be interesting to see. Something like a premium version of the OnePlus 5 would be a logical move but if the company decides to replace the OnePlus 5 with this new model, existing users could feel a bit cheated, yet again!

Let’s wait and watch. Now, it’s just a matter of a few days!

The post OnePlus 5T Is Confirmed & So Is Its 3.5mm Headphone Jack appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lately, rumors related to the upcoming smartphone from OnePlus have been making rounds. The smartphone is believed to be the OnePlus 5T and now, it seems that the company has confirmed this name.

OnePlus has sent out a tweet which reads, “Oh look, five cups of…”. Along with that, the company has attached an image of five cups filled with what looks like “tea”. This leads us to believe that the upcoming smartphone from the company, which is expected to launch this month is indeed the OnePlus 5T.

The company has been building the hype around the arrival of OnePlus 5T through social media. Recently, OnePlus’ CEO posted about Optic OLED technology for displays, which many have received as a hint for the display of OnePlus 5T. Recently, OnePlus posted an image on Facebook, boasting presence of the 3.5mm audio jack on all of its smartphones launched so far.

Once launched, the OnePlus 5T is expected to replace the current flagship smartphone from the company — OnePlus 5. In fact, OP5 has already gone out of stock in almost every region, except India.

The OnePlus 5T smartphone is expected to come with a 6-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution and an aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor — the same one that powers the OnePlus 5.

As it is expected to feature a full-screen bezel-less display, the fingerprint sensor will be mounted at the back. It is likely to be fueled by a 3,450mAh battery.

It will have 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. There could be another variant with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. As of the camera, the smartphone is expected to feature a 20-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual camera setup at the rear while on the front, there will be a 20-megapixel selfie shooter.

A hands-on photo said to be that of the OnePlus 5T surfaced online recently but after all the publicity, it was discovered to be a photoshopped Vivo X20 with the OnePlus wallpaper on top. Now, another photo alleged to be that of the OnePlus 5T has appeared online but we still cannot verify if this one is real or fake.

The leaked photo has on display, the front view of the device while powered on. The front view indeed reveals a full-screen design with a high screen-to-body ratio. That is the major design attribute the device is expected to pack so, it won’t be surprising if this turns out to be yet another scam. OnePlus is yet to even confirm the existence of the OnePlus 5T.

That doesn’t mean the device isn’t likely in the works. The recent happenings like the discontinuation of OnePlus 5 sales on OnePlus’ official website suggest the company has got something up its sleeves. The OnePlus 5T is expected to feature a 6-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution which means they would adopt an 18:9 aspect ratio. The flagship model is also expected to pack a Snapdragon 835 flagship processor like the OP5. The device is expected with a 8GB RAM + 128GB memory while there may likely be a 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. On the camera end, we expect a 20MP + 16MP dual camera setup at the rear while there will be a 20MP selfie camera at the front.

The post OnePlus 5T Teaser Poster Leaked, Hints At November 16 Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

A newly leaked photo said to be the OnePlus 5T has appeared online and it shows a device that looks no different from the OPPO R11s. OnePlus and OPPO are both BBK subsidiaries so it was less surprising when the OnePlus 5 was announced and it looked like the OPPO R11. Right now, both OPPO and OnePlus are quickly getting on the full-screen train and to spearhead their entrance is the OnePlus 5T and OPPO R11s. We may have to do with two different models having a similar design once again.

The OPPO R11s is scheduled for launch on November 2 and ahead of its launch, several official renders have been teased showing the actual design. OnePlus, on the other hand, is yet to officially confirm the existence of the OP 5T. What we are holding on to are rumours and speculations. Nonetheless, the leaked photo reveals a full-screen design with a higher screen-to-body ratio which creates a nearly bezel-less design.

Even though the OnePlus 5T and the OPPO R11s may likely have a similar design, there is bound to be some differences, especially in the specifications. Both are expected to feature a 6-inch display with 2160 x 1080 pixels resolution which means they would adopt an 18:9 aspect ratio. The OnePlus 5T is expected to pack a Snapdragon 835 flagship processor like the OP5 while the OPPO R11s will join the R11 in utilising a Snapdragon 660 premium mid-range chip. The OP5T is expected to pack an 8GB RAM + 128GB storage while there may likely be a 6GB RAM variant. On the camera end, we expect a 20MP + 16MP dual camera setup at the rear while there will be a 20MP selfie camera at the front.

Until the OP 5T design is officially confirmed, we’ll take this leaked photo with a pinch of salt.

The post Suspected OnePlus 5T Real Photo Leaks Revealing Front Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lately, we are seeing a lot of leaks related to the OnePlus’ upcoming smartphone — OnePlus 5T. While there is no official confirmation from the company yet, it is certain that the phone will be launched soon.

Recently, the phone’s design leaked online, revealing the full-screen display on the device. Prior to that, the landing page for the OnePlus 5T on the company’s official website was also leaked. And now, we have the phone’s specifications, thanks to the AnTuTu screenshot leak.

The latest leak reveals the specifications of the OnePlus A5010 model, which is believed to be the OnePlus 5T as OnePlus 5 had a model number A5000.

The phone is said to have a screen resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, suggesting an aspect ratio of 18:9. It will have a 6-inch full-screen display with narrow bezels. The fingerprint sensor will be placed at the back of the phone.

It packs 8GB of RAM and has 128GB of internal storage. As of the camera, the phone will feature a dual camera setup with a combination of two 20-megapixel sensors at back.

Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor with Adreno 540 GPU. It will run Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box.

However, we advise you to take this report with a pinch of salt as we couldn’t verify if the leaked AnTuTu image is genuine or not.

The smartphone is rumoured to feature a larger capacity battery and may arrive without a 3.5mm audio jack. Other than the display, most of the specifications of OnePlus 5T are expected to be same as its predecessor.

The 64GB storage variant carries a price tag of $549 while the 128GB model has been listed for $649.

Currently, the OnePlus 5 smartphone has gone out of stock in most countries, except India. It appears that the company is discontinuing the OP5 before the arrival of OP5T. The company did the same ahead of OnePlus 3T launch last year.

The post OnePlus 5T Specifications Revealed Via AnTuTu Screenshot Leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is said to be working on a new smartphone — OnePlus 5T, which is expected to launch soon. While there is no official confirmation from the company regarding the OnePlus 5T, recent reports seem to strongly suggest the phone’s existence.

Earlier, renders of the smartphone were leaked online, and now we have new images of the OnePlus 5T that have surfaced online, showing its design and the full-screen display.

The leaked images are the screenshot of the phone’s landing page on the company’s website. However, the landing page is not live yet.

The images reveal the phone’s design, which seems similar to that of Samsung Galaxy S8. There is a tagline on the landing page which reads “Larger Screen. Same Footprint.”

OnePlus 5T is believed to have a 6-inch full-screen display with 18:9 aspect ratio and rounded edges with thin bezels on each side. Given the tagline for the phone, it is likely that the dimensions of the phone will remain same as of OnePlus 5.

Many smartphone manufacturers from China have already launched a smartphone with a bezel-less display. Also, most of the flagship smartphones launched this year come with a full-screen display. But, OnePlus is yet to launch such smartphone and the OnePlus 5T is believed to be the one to fill the gap.

The smartphone is speculated to arrive with the same camera sensors that are available on OP5. However, we are expecting the company to add optical image stabilization to the rear dual cameras. On the front side, it may feature a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

While there is no information about the phone’s availability or pricing, it is rumoured to be priced at around 3,000 Yuan (~$452).

The post New OnePlus 5T Images Surfaces Online Showing Full-Screen Display appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OnePlus 5 has been selling well for the past four months, but it looks like a successor is already on its way. Our source reveals to us that a new model, which will go by the name of the OnePlus 5T will release in November 2017. This is very similar to what OnePlus did in 2016, releasing the OnePlus 3T just five months after the OnePlus 3.

So, what’s new in the OnePlus 5T?

At this moment, we have only a few details about the upcoming model. The biggest upgrade is said to be in the display department, with the company bumping up the screen size on the 5T model to 6-inches with 2160 x 1080p resolution, thereby making it an 18:9 smartphone. Major manufacturers, including ones like Vivo have released 18:9 flagship smartphones this year, so it makes sense for OnePlus to jump on the tall display bandwagon with a new model. But the OnePlus 5 is already up to date with powerful specs, so it will be interesting to see if there are any other upgrades in the new model’s specifications.

We have also got a low resolution render of the OnePlus 5T model. We can’t deny that the phone seems to draw its inspiration from the Galaxy S8 on the front. The bezels are thin on the top as well as the bottom and the 18:9 aspect ratio is evident from the taller than usual design. What’s even more interesting is that the sides look curved. Our source couldn’t confirm whether the phone has a curved edge display, so we can’t be sure of it right now. The render looks identical to the recently leaked OPPO F5, but our source claims that this is what the OnePlus 5T will look like as well, at least from the front.

While OnePlus is yet to confirm the launch of a new model, there are indications that a new model could be on its way. The OnePlus 5 is already out of stock in many countries right now.

Our source has been reliable in the past, so we are 80% sure that this information will turn out to be true. The internet has been silent about the existence of the OnePlus 5T so far, therefore we’ll have to wait and see whether more details emerge in the coming weeks. The launch is said to be around early November, so there isn’t a lot of time left for its official unveil.
