OnePlus, a Chines company which is known for its high-end mobiles at much cheaper prices is now getting ready to unveil their new smartphone, OnePlus5T. OnePlus’s recent flagship mobile, OnePlus 5 is a great phone with high-end specs and is a definite competition for Galaxy S8, Google Pixel2. But the interesting thing is that the OnePlus5 is priced half of the Galaxy S8 does.
2017 is a year of bezel-less and beautiful looking devices. But OnePlus devices contain huge bezels at top and bottom which is not at all futuristic. Personally, for me, this is the only reason that’s pulling me back from buying this mobile. But it is no more an issue.
