0OnePlus 5T first thoughts This phone could have made a great Pixel 2 XL.
What would you pay for a phone with a 6-inch OLED screen, Snapdragon 835 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 3,300mAh battery? $850? $950?
Now consider this number: $390. That’s the difference in price between the 128GB OnePlus 5T and the Pixel 2 XL. For $559 (just $20 more than the OnePlus 5), you get a phone that looks an awful lot like a Pixel 2 XL, with slim bezels, a rear fingerprint sensor, and an OS that’s very faithful to stock Android. And the entry-level model costs less than $500.
I've spent only a brief time with the 5T so far, but it's left me with a stronger first impression than I got from the OnePlus 5. It feels premium. It looks premium. And it still has a headphone jack.
