OnePlus 5T, the Chinese company's latest smartphone with top-notch specifications and an aggressive pricing, was announced on Thursday. The new launch may excite many Android users but it will also annoy those who bought the OnePlus 5 a few months ago. Since the launch of the OnePlus 3T last year, OnePlus seems to be following with a mid-cycle upgrade for its flagship smartphones and the OnePlus 5T is the latest example of it. The company said at the launch event the 'T' upgrade is aimed at giving consumers the best handset possible even after its flagship has been released, with the OnePlus 5T the newest model as part of this effort.

The new OnePlus 5T may share the same price tag as the OnePlus 5 but it brings some upgrades. To name a few, the new bezel-less display with an 18:9 aspect ratio makes the OnePlus 5T first smartphone to ditch the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. The company says that the new OnePlus 5T also receives a new dual camera setup. In this post, we will see the major differences between the new OnePlus 5T and OnePlus 5 depending on which you can take a call to either wait for the upgraded version or go with the original model.
