AUDIO TUNER ONEPLUS 5T ANDROID
The Oxygen OS take on Android results in an extremely minimal setup, as long as you don’t include the Google apps that are pretty de facto on most devices. When I tested the Oreo beta on the OP3, I encountered some connection issues afterwards, so I was a bit skeptical with this upgrade, but there’s a clear difference between a beta and final release.
AUDIO TUNER ONEPLUS 5T UPDATE
The 5T ships with Android 7.1.1, but a couple of weeks ago, the 8.0 update was pushed out. The 5T’s front looks much cleaner, and in general, it looks better from pretty much every angle. OnePlus 5T (back of phones)Īs much as I’ve loved the OP3’s aesthetics up to this point, it’s crazy the difference a year or two can make. If you look really closely in some of the shots, you will be able to make out the antenna that runs along the top of the device.Ĭomparison: OnePlus 3 vs. To the top-left of this reader is the dual camera, as well as the flash. No matter how I grab the phone, I can easily reach this reader. Nonetheless, OnePlus offers quite a bit of selection for its phones, so chances are good you’ll find a design and style you like.Īs mentioned earlier, the finger print reader on the 5T is located in what I’d consider to be a great position – at least for my hands. Even when I pick the OP5T up in its slim case, it still feels thicker than the OP3 in its slim case, which is odd because to my eye, they appear to be the same thickness. Naturally, I prefer the case that offers the least amount of protection, only because it’s noticeably thinner than the others. The others are “bumper” cases, as the surrounding edges offer better bump resistance compared to the standard protective case. The red case is silicone, so it has a very unique feel all over.

Of these, one is a standard protective case (left), which is made to be as thin as possible, but still offer better protection than having nothing at all. The last slide above shows off the cases OnePlus sent along for testing. There’s also a translucent plastic case to use if you don’t feel like shelling out for a fancier one (though you probably should this one doesn’t feel the highest quality). This charger is spec’d the same as the one included with the OP3, and looks similar, too, but the production duties switched to Lite-On (from Shenzhen Huntkey Electric Co.). The box itself is made of quality materials that feel like quality, although their grippier nature makes separating the two sections a bit of a challenge (good thing it only needs to happen once or twice).Īlso included is the Dash charger, which has its cord nicely wrapped up. OnePlus does a few things really well, and one of those things includes packaging. One thing the OP5T doesn’t have that I’d like it to is an FM tuner, but OnePlus isn’t alone in treating it as unimportant (and I’m sure I’m one of few who’d appreciate one). I thought the OP3 was a great size at 5.5″, but after using the OP5T for the past month, I’ve quickly become accustomed to the bigger size, and increased real-estate of the slightly taller screen (no notch needed). Some features I like about the 5T include dual-SIM support (important to me when traveling), the headphone jack, dual rear camera, and the screen. The $499 SKU includes 64GB of storage, and 6GB of memory, while the $559 one bumps that to 128GB of storage, and 8GB of memory. The phone is larger than the OP3, at 6.01″ inches, and its resolution has been boosted to 1080×2160. That’s an 8-core chip composed of two quad-cores, clocked at 2.45GHz and 1.9GHz, respectively. The 5T is equipped with the current flagship Snapdragon, 835. Uses USB-C (2.0) connector (standard USB plugs into PC) It’s stock Android, with some of OnePlus’ TLC applied. The Oxygen OS keeps the KISS principle in check there’s no real bloat to speak of. Even Samsung has to agree, since the Galaxy S9 reflects similar positioning.Īs with its previous flagships, OnePlus’ goal with the 5T is to deliver as much phone as possible for the money, and make it as attractive as possible.

Well, it turns out that location is everything, as the reader location on the 5T is what I’d call perfect. The reason for the change is that the finger print reader was moved to the back of the device, something I expected to hate based on my experience with Samsung’s Galaxy S8. The 5T has a much shorter chin than the OP3, and aesthetically, it looks much better.
