What to Expect?
With the OnePlus company performing good in market along with its other counterparts, the phone is expected to have some upgradation as per the current ongoing demands in the market. If you are an old user of OnePlus series, you can say that OnePlus 5T is the upgradation of OnePlus 5 and not a totally new phone. Except some physical changes and upgradation, nothing much is there in OnePlus 5T to be excited about.
Though one good news for the OnePlus fans is that, there is no significant increase in its price and its range is almost similar to its older version of OnePlus 5.
OnePlus 5T Screen and Display
Following the present trend of other flagship companies in the market, the company has gone for elongated display and bezel less screen. With the handset sporting a 6.01 inch screen, it has become the first among the OnePlus series to go beyond the older 5.5 inch screen trend. Another big change in the handset is the full HD AMOLED panel display from Samsung with Diamond Pentile arrangement and trending 18:9 aspect ratio like iPhone X, Google Piexel 2XL, Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG V30.
It lacks the trending QHD display and sticks to a Full HD resolution at 1080 X 2160p with a pixel density of 401 ppi. The display can’t be claimed bad due to lack of QHD display, but there will be some difference in sharpness when compared to its other counterparts. But still it is good enough to mesmerise with its video and gameplay experience.
Now, talking about the brightness, the lowest brightness gets down to just 2.1 nits, which is dark enough to not to be visible outside and this setting is really a plus for the readers who love virtual bed time reading. The maximum brightness of 440 nits which is quite average, but still ensures a good visual experience outside. It has only been beaten by iPhone X in lab tabs done by GSM arena in terms of its sunlight contrast ratio.
Unlike the OLED panels used in LG V30 and Google Pixel 2 XL, its AMOLED panel does not experience oversaturation or poor viewing angles; but if you go looking for some fault, there is a mild shift to blue if you tilt it off axis, which can be adjusted to great extent in the settings.
OnePlus 5T Camera:
The OnePlus series went with the currently demanded trend of dual cameras in the OnePlus 5 model, like the other flagship competitors. So, in OnePlus 5T also, you will find a dual camera, but with a few changes. First change from the last model is the removal of telephoto 1.6x secondary camera to favour low light photography, but it has also led to some quality loss due to elimination of optical 2x zoom option, although it shows in the camera UI. So, if you prefer low light pictures more as compared to the zoomed ones, then this handset can be a good choice.
