OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 - Worth The Upgrade?

Let’s find the answers


The biggest change comes here is "Display" and design 


There's no much change here, as both them have a full metal body. 5T is ever so slightly longer, wider and heavier than the OnePlus 5, but not thicker.

OnePlus 5 came with a 5.5-inch Optical AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution, where as OnePlus 5T is a 6.01-inch screen with 1080p resolution with an 18:9 aspect ratio, as opposed to the 16:9 ratio carried by the OnePlus 5.


fingerprint scanner has been moved to the back this time with oneplus 5T. So the company has also removed the home button which sits below the screen. 


Oneplus 5T also comes with small bezles, round corner,It comes black, while the OnePlus 5 is available in both black and grey. 


Anyhow  If someone asks me About "How it looks on hand",  I would simply say "Sexy", like iphone X.


camera : 


OnePlus has upgraded the camera on the 5T. While the hardware specifications of the camera are mostly similar, the OnePlus 5T carries a different telephoto lens in its dual camera setup than the one found on the OnePlus 5. Oneplus 5’s Rear camera comes with "16Mp and 20Mp with F/2.4 aperture 

where as oneplus 5T coupled with the same 16-megapixel Sony primary lens with f/1.7 aperture, now carries a 20-megapixel Sony sensor. OnePlus 5T that aims to capture more light, i.e., you will enjoy low light photography this time. 

Oneplus also says, it will deliver more portrait modes with oneplus 5T.


Here comes the most interesting point called

Face Unlock

which works just like the Face ID on the Apple iPhone X. OnePlus claims that the Face Unlock delivers an unlock time of 0.4 seconds. We need to check with Face Masks, Photos, and with twins To verify its secure like iphone X or not. 


Oneplus 5T runs on OxygenOS 4.7 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. OnePlus confirmed that it will release the Android 8.0 Oreo open beta starting later this month for the OnePlus 5 units, and for OnePlus 5T users by end of December.


 If you are using Oneplus 3 or 3T, I would strongly recommend you to buy oneplus 5T but, If you are using oneplus 5, I won't recommend you to buy oneplus 5T, instead I would recommend you to wait for oneplus 6 which comes early in 2018.
