Compare OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 - Gadget2buy
The high-end Chinese Smartphone OnePlus 5 was launched in June 2017 and liked by the people but o 21st November 2017 the OnePlus 5 been superseded by the OnePlus 5T. This was the welcome surprise for many as both the phones are in the same range but the 5T has many more features and looks much sleek too. And as the news goes OnePlus 5T won’t be old along with the OnePlus 5, rather it’s going to be sold in its place.
But what exactly are the major differences in both these devices? Let’s take a look and see.
OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 Design - Gadget2buy
One of the most obvious changes that you see at the first look between the two smartphones is the display. The screen looks dramatically bigger in OnePlus 5T. It measures 6 inches diagonally and is also brighter with punchier colours and higher resolution. The OnePlus 5T has a higher screen to body ratio of around 80 percent and the OnePlus 5 is around 74 percent. The bezels that were prominent in OnePlus 5 is almost gone in 5T. OnePlus 5T is all about the screen. The fingerprint scanner has shifted to the back panel and the hardware capacitive buttons have gone missing. Otherwise, there are no aesthetic differences in terms of build in both the devices. The build quality remains the same as both the phones have a sturdy build with Anodized Aluminium.
The new device is also a bit bigger with a measurement of 156.1x75x7.3mm while the OnePlus 5 is 154.2x74.1x7.25mm.As for now, the OnePlus 5T is available in just one colour- Midnight Black colour while the OnePlus 5 came in Midnight Black, Slate Gray, and Soft Gold colours.

The OnePlus 5T is the first OnePlus smartphone to get a bezel-less display. OnePlus 5T is a 6.01-inch display with 1080P resolution while the OnePlus 5 has a 5.5-inch display. The new device has an 18:9 aspect ratio dominating the front panel as compared to 16:9 aspect ratio of OnePlus 5.The OnePlus 5T, like most new gen smartphones, is all screen.
OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 Features - Gadget2buy
OnePlus 5T comes with few very interesting and up-to-date features which its predecessor misses out on. Other than the smooth bezel-less experience, the new OnePlus 5T comes with Face Unlock feature which works exactly like the Face ID on the Apple iPhone X.
Hardware: Both the smartphones are powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor and both come in two variants- a 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant and an 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage option.
Software: OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T both run on latest version of the OxygenOS based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
Battery: Both OnePlus5 and OnePlus 5T are powered by a huge and long-lasting 3300 mAhnon-removable battery which supports Dash Charging,
OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 Camera - Gadget2buy
OnePlus has upgraded the camera on the 5T. While the camera looks almost the same externally the OnePlus 5 T has got a new telephoto lens in its dual shooter. The new telephoto lens carries exactly similar 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 primary lens with f/1.7 aperture. The secondary lens is a 20-megapixel Sony IMX376K sensor with a wider aperture whereas in OnePlus 5 there was a 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor.
This change makes the pictures taken in low light too equally sharp. There is also an 'Intelligent Pixel Technology' for capturing more efficient images in low-light situations.
The selfie camera on both the smartphone remains same with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor, also seen on the OnePlus 5.
OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5 Price - Gadget2buy
OnePlus 5T has been launched in India at Rs. 32,999 for the 6GB RAM/ 64GB inbuilt storage variant, and Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB RAM/ 128GB model. This is exactly the same as OnePlus 5. Right now the OnePlus 5T is available only online, the regular sale of the smartphone will kick start on 28th November 2018.
If you have not yet bought a OnePlus device then definitely you must go for OnePlus 5T, it’s a phone that is worth every penny you spend on fabulous features. The 5T has focused and improved on all the areas OnePlus 5 was lacking on.
It's annoying how they keep calling it bezzel-less. They should call it minimum bezzel or slight bezzel. In fact, the side bezzels are actually slightly bigger than previous gen OnePlus phones. Even the Essential and Mi Mix 2 still have bottom bezzels. I wouldn't even call the iPhone X bezzel-less with that notch. I do like the trend though, and I'm sure we will see a true bezzel-less phone in the not too distant future. I just hope more manufacturers follow Essential's design and offer some smaller all screen phones. It's so much easier to use one handed. My perfect phone? A cross between the Essential phone and OnePlus 5t. Since I can't have that, I had to buy both! Lol

OnePlus 3 vs Axon7
I currently have the OnePlus 3 I am considering getting an Axon 7 due to the better screen, front facing speakers, and SD support. Did anyone ditch the Axon and get the OP3? Should I stay with the OnePlus 3 or jump and get the Axon? Any comments will be appreciated. I really have no idea what to do. I am so in the fence.
Thanks!
Advantages of the Axon 7:
-better display(but maybe less sot)
-front-facing speakers
-sd support
Disadvantages:
-2GB less RAM compared to OnePlus 3 but it's only for the future.
-not as good development as on the OP3
-no alert slider
And every other things are the same..
I wouldn't ditch it for the Axon 7 if you ask me...
I once considered the Axon 7, but for me the two reasons I ditched it was the nonexistant software development, the (for me) ugly design and the bloated software. Also, now that I have the OnePlus 3, Dash Charge seems natural, and I miss it on other phones.
Also the OnePlus 3's camera is better IMO.
I get far more SOT and total battery life on the Axon 7 than the OnePlus 3.
I had both at the same time. I didn't really like the design of the axon much. Impressed by the small bezels, but didn't like the back and overall shape of the phone. Love the shape and look of the OP3 much better, even though the bezels are a bit larger. I do miss the stereo speakers, and the 2k screen is a bit better than the OP3, but the development for OP3 is so good that I don't regret returning the axon.

There is like no development on it through right? ZTE released the kernel source didn't they? And it's bl unlockable?
After weeks of leaks and rumours, OnePlus 3T has finally become official. The phone is an upgrade to the company’s OnePlus 3 smartphone launched in June 2016. OnePlus 3T features an updated processor – the Snapdragon 821, along with more battery capacity and a better front camera. The new phone is also more expensive and starts at $439 ( Rs 29,700) for the 64GB version and $479 for 128GB (Rs 32,000).OnePlus 3T is currently running on Android Marshmallow, but is expected to get the Nougat update by the end of the year.While OnePlus flagship devices are much cheaper compared to those from Apple, Samsung and Google, their performance is top notch. We decided to pitch the new OnePlus 3T against other 5.5-inch flagships: Apple iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and Google Pixel XL.
Oneplus3T
OnePlus 3T brings moderate updates to the OnePlus 3. The phone features Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 821 processor (same as on Pixel XL) and has seen a bump in battery capacity, which now stands at 3400 mAh – compared to the OnePlus 3’s 3000 mAh battery.
OnePlus 3T also comes with a new 16MP front camera with Samsung 3P8SP processor. The phone will be available in two colour variants – Soft Gold and Bold Gunmetal. OnePlus 3T comes with 6GB RAM, but there’s a new 128GB storage version as well.
We had reviewed the OnePlus 3, and found that it comes with one of the best cameras among Android devices. This works well in both bright and low-light conditions. OnePlus 3T is currently running on Android Marshmallow, but is expected to get the Nougat update by the end of the year.
Apple iPhone 7 Plus
Apple’s new iPhone 7 smartphones have seen restricted upgrades over the iPhone 6s smartphones. Apple has kept design changes to a minimum, but bumped up performance with the new quad-core A10 Fusion chip.
The major upgrade was the addition of a dual-rear camera (12MP+12MP) to the iPhone 7 Plus that gives users the ability to take DSLR style photos, for example – taking ‘bokeh’ shots. iPhone 7 Plus also features an LCD display unlike the others in the list. The phone comes with 3GB RAM, and three storage variants. But it starts at Rs 72,000 in India making it the most expensive flagship on the list. The iPhone 7 Plus is also the tallest and widest phone among the four, but still manages to be the thinnest at 7.3mm.
Apple iPhone 7 Plus has seen a moderate increase in battery life compared to iPhone 6s Plus. It is also the only device in the list without a 3.5 mm headphone jack. In our review of the iPhone 7 Plus’ camera, we found the device to be a very potent low-light performer – the closest competition to which is the Google Pixel XL and S7 edge. The addition of a telephoto lens allows for users to take pictures with up to 2X optical zoom, something none of the other players offer.
Samsung Galaxy edge s7
With the Galaxy Note 7 dead, Galaxy S7 series is the only true flagship in Samsung’s lineup until the launch of the Galaxy S8 or possible the Note 8. This makes the Galaxy S7 Edge the oldest flagship featuring in this comparison. It was launched in February this year; all other devices were launched in the past two months.Samsung Galaxy S7 edge was launched in February and is still regarded as one of the best Android phones.
The camera on the Galaxy S7 Edge was hailed as one of the best in smartphones with special emphasis on its ability to take great images in low light conditions. The big 3600 mAh battery (highest among all four devices) makes sure the phone lasts a whole day of medium-to-heavy use with ease. The 5.5-inch Super AMOLED curved display is also a highlight of the device. Galaxy S7 Edge will be getting the Android Nougat update soon.
Google Pixel XL
The first device to carry the Google logo, Pixel XL (along with the Pixel) was launched in October this year, and is touted to feature the best ever camera on a smartphone. The 12.3MP camera sensor comes with a wider aperture and EIS, which makes for stunning low-light photography. Google is relying on software wizardry to bump up image quality on the Pixel phones.
Google Pixel XL is powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor – comes with 4GB RAM, which is coupled with 32GB or 128GB storage. The phone is significantly thicker than the others at 8.5mm. In our review, we liked the Google Pixel XL’s camera performance, both in low-light and regular lighting conditions. We also felt this phone comes very close to the iPhone 7 in terms of camera performance.

At specs the 3T is slightly better (cpu, front camera, battery) is there any difference in battery life?
Any bugs?
Any rear camera difference? Or its just the same? (sew somewhere maybe at gsmarena photo compare, that the 3T the pictures more blurry and noisy then regular 3)
Few examples from gsmarena, it looks like the 3T is noisy, and even much more at low light
The ISO is 100 (vs 125 on 3) but it should be more smooth and sharp.
Why is the camera shots are that different?

They are essentially same hardware (on the rear cam)so the difference is in software only which will make its way to 3. One thing that 3t has eis2.0 but I will affect more in videos
3T is better
People say that OnePlus stop the sale of 3. If that's true 3t it's better..
They may bring it back... But oneplus never has enough stock.. Always running out or low. I had to wait 3 weeks for mine but camera didn't work so I had to send in for rma and then wait two weeks to get new one... Long story short, oneplus may sell 3.. Just like oneplus 2 was still selling till this year

I'm contemplating of buying this phone or should I wait for MI 8. The price is very tempting to buy now or should I wait for Mi 8?
The things to consider is I want to try the amoled screen at mi 8. Also I want to have a borderless screen. But is it worth the wait? I'm time limited because the buyer of my current phone will leave next week.
Is the camera quality of the new sensor so good as the mi 6?
I'm torn.
Wait for mi 8 then but mi 6 ?. Seriously this is a really solid device. For the price range we're talking about, mi flagships offer very high value/price rate and don't get deprecated as quickly as the other brands' same price devices.
Camera etc all good and unless you are a freak that counts every pixel in a photo you won't notice any great improvements over this phone on mi 8 or so.
About amoled vs ips lcd, I think they're nearly identical in terms of power usage (in real life, "normal" applications) hence the whites are everywhere, inevitable. Color reproduction of the screen is great here too.
But for borderless screen and having on screen navbar things on a 18:9 phone vs capacitive buttons + 16:9 screen, that's up to you. I don't see any great improvements on user experience with one over two unless we're talking about a serious gesture based ux like on sailfish os devices so I don't care here.
I think the most obvious change between the two is the chipset so decide yourself, whether you want to pay more and get mi 8 or get mi 6 for real cheap (when mi 8 starts to ship). Again expect no dramatical changes between the two chipset as they're both 10 nm architecture.
Wait for mi9, Buy mi6 or just buy the mi2x instead.
Currently having a Pixel 4 XL as a loaner. I can barely get through the day before I need to recharge the battery. But I do love the Android 10 software on this phone as well as the no compromise camera.
So how's battery on the 7T (with latest sw update) compared to the Pixel 4 XL?
On the Pixel 4 XL I sometimes have problems with the Bluetooth and my ear phones (Bose 700 ANC and Airpods Pro), anyone in here using either of them with the 7T?
How's the camera on the 7T compared with the 4 XL?
Usually get 5-6 hours sot and the camera is decent. Not up to pixel quality but trades punches with Samsung regarding camera. Overall a fantastic device.
I'm using mine with Sony XM3 with no issues over bluetooth. Considering there's no 3.5mm jack it's not like there's any other choice.
I Carnt speak for the OnePlus 7t as I have the 7t Pro McLaren edition but a friend of mine has a 7t and I have had a pixel 4xl and it is a better buy than the pixel 4xl, depending on each individual's use you should see 5-6+ out of it where a any pixel 4xl I was lucky to scrape 5.
7t Pro on the other hand I'm getting around 7-8.
As for the cameras I think it's swings and roundabouts as 7t has features the pixel don't and then the pixel can do better in certain areas..
I believe the 7t is a all-round device it has decent battery, great screen, snappy top performance, versatile camera, audio is decent. Battery is decent,
For me pixel 4 doesn't have a lot going for it especially for its price tag it's well overpriced.
My personal opinion I prefere oxygen os than stock pixel android and I believe many others agree too.
I think the 7t it's a great choice.
Here's my take coming from a Pixel 2xl-
First off the P 2 xl is a great phone and I was excited with all the hype to get the P 4 xl, but I didn't. After the reviews, I was hoping for 5G. I decided to get the OP 7T. It's less money than the P4xl and, for me, more comfortable to hold than the 2xl. The screen quality on the 7T is sick and faster than the 2 xl. Plus unlike Verizon OP offers a payment plan that is ok and you could get a new phone every year, if you want to. It feels like a quality phone. Lastly, OP sends you a starter case AND a screen protector. Thats's money saved.
Battery usage-
Weekdays- heaviest usage
I take the train (6:15am) for about an hour and I lose about 10% if the train is packed up. In that setting ,the phone tries really hard to get out for a usable signal. It gets so slow that any article I want I email to my self. During the day I'll use it for calls mainly because I'm in front of a computer. We don't have office phones so our cell phone are the source of vocal communication. I'll do some light surfing and texting through the day so when 4:30 comes around I'm at around 55-60%. Both train rides consist of podcast listening and surfing/ texting. By the time I get home I'll be at 45%. I don't plug it in, for the night, until around 11, which puts me at around 33%. So for my style the battery is fine.
Now go figure your phone's daily life and you'll see where the power goes. On weekends I'm not on the train so by the time I go to bed I'm probably at 45-55%
I came from the pixel 4 and was also plagued by bad battery (worse than the 3 honestly)
The 7t is a nice compromise until Google gets their **** together and makes a phone that's actually worth the outrageous price tag.
Ufs 3.0
3300+ mah
Wide angle camera
If the pixel 5 doesn't have this I'll be buying the OnePlus 8t lol

I loved my Pixel 2XL but opted for the 7T over the 4XL. The camera on the Pixels is killer, especially considering it's using a 2016 sensor. Google's choices for hardware is a bit of a enigma lately .. the Nexus line used to be a budget friendly near-flagship phone with features designed to move Android forward (e.g. they were ahead of their time). The only reason it didn't sell like hotcakes from the killer price/value is the availability/marketing wasn't strong like other brands - more niche.
They fixed that with the Pixel line but now lag behind in other areas .. the fact their flagship doesn't even win the category they put the most effort in shows they're not really trying .. other manufacturers have moved on to newer sensors to compete (and surpass), yet Google is sticking with software tweaks gen after gen on the same sensor. You do that on budget phones, not flagships. I think Google could probably do killer work software wise using the 48mp (2018) sensor in the 7T with improved optics because of the ability to get more pixel information for their algorithms before downsizing to 12mp.
Their shift to compete against Apple / Samsung on the flagship side has led them to be in a gray area where the value/price is now flipped ... I wouldn't consider them a good value. They don't do enough to compete against the flagships, yet they're commanding flagship pricing (heck, the 4 still has the same camera sensor and RAM as the prior 2 gens). The 'A' variant seems to be the better value from them.

To answer OP's Q .. in my tests, the OnePlus 7T camera holds up to my Pixel 2XL (I know, not the 4XL). It seems to lack some sharpness and vibrance in the color, but that can be fixed in software if I really need.
For battery life, you can tweak the system if rooted using apps like LSpeed .. I did this on my 2XL and got around 7.5hrs SOT (less after 2 years because if battery aging). Haven't used the 7T enough to know, but I'd assume it'll however around 6-7 with similar tweaks.
The one major downside about the 7T is that there's very little development life compared others.
