Smart Android And Trik-Commenting on Andorid indeed never endless, because smart devices this one is often updated every certain amount of time. So that the market can always be garapnya menerinya with pleasure. And it is not denied if this device has become the lifestyle of each society. To not wonder if the 6th business information and many are turning to mobail smartphone. With Android which thoroughly dominated the mobile industry, choosing the best Android smartphone is almost identical to choose the best smartphone, period. But while Android phones have few real opponents on other platforms, internal competition is intense.
Introduction
It's half past five on OnePlus time and the 5T has just been unveiled, the interim upgrade that repacks the OnePlus 5 to make it more enticing for the holiday shoppers. T is to the OnePlus what S is to the iPhone, which means the OnePlus 5T isn't a complete overhaul. It's mostly the same phone on the inside, but there are bigger changes on the outside this time.
The most obvious one is the display. No self-respecting smartphone maker would be seen exiting 2017 without a tall screen, and the 5T is OnePlus taking due care with an 18:9 6-inch FullHD AMOLED panel by Samsung - or a Full Optic AMOLED, as the company likes to call it.
The other change is the camera setup, and this has left us baffled so far. The OnePlus 5T comes with a couple of cameras on its back, one 16MP, the other 20MP, each paired with a 27mm-equivalent lens, and each of them capturing color images. So it's not a wide+tele, and it's not a color+monochrome, it's a OnePlus 5T.
That's pretty much all the T adds to the OnePlus 5 (or takes away, we're still debating). The rest is the same, but here's a refresher.

We'll be testing both the display and camera in our usual in-depth fashion in the full review, which should be ready by next week. For now, we've gathered some initial impressions that we're eager to share. And the sharing starts on the next page.
OnePlus 5T hands-on
A couple of mil taller, a mil narrower and just as thin as the OnePlus 5, the OnePlus 5T is barely distinguishable from its predecessor upon a casual glance. It's very much the same fit and finish and the matte black aluminum unibody makes for an understated, classy look.
One notable difference between the two is the fingerprint reader placement - the tall display leaves no room on the front. Instead of pulling an Apple and ditching it altogether, OnePlus has done the reasonable thing and put the sensor on the back, above the '1+' logo.
It's the front where the actual big change is, 6 inches big. A 6-inch 18:9 display has replaced the classic 5.5-inch FullHD unit of the old model. It's still AMOLED, Optic AMOLED in OnePlus' terms, and since it now covers most of the face of the phone, it's gotten a 'full' moniker - 'Full Optic AMOLED' is quite a mouthful, but we like the screen.
It is a beautiful display, and even though we don't have the numbers yet, it seems to be pretty bright. It's also got a bunch of color modes to satisfy people on both ends of the punchy-to-accurate spectrum. We tend to be leaning towards punchy, but it never hurts to have options.
We didn't observe any unpleasant color shift at odd angles - there's no Pixel 2 XL-style blue tint. It's a little sad we need to point it out.
OnePlus is really making a big deal out of its face recognition, and we almost dismissed it as a marketing ploy to put the 5T in the same sentence as the iPhone X. Boy, were we wrong. Preliminary testing proved it's super-fast, works at various angles, unlocks in the dark (slightly slower, as it needs to light up the screen to see you), and won't unlock unless you have an eye open. Pretty neat.
An exclusive feature in the Android world, OnePlus' three-position mute switch is still here, positioned high on the left side of the phone.
Sadly, just like the 5, the 5T isn't water resistant - most other flagships have an IP67 or IP68 rating. There are no stereo speakers, either.
On a positive note, there's a headphone jack - we'll be advocating for those to our dying breath. Okay, maybe we should dial down the drama, but you get the point.
Minimal bezels • Subtle antenna lines • Mute switch • Don't hit the road, jack
The phone runs Android 7.1.1 - it would have been nice to see the 5T launch on Oreo. There's the proprietary Oxygen OS layer on top that adds a ton of functionality without making Android unrecognizable. Yes, that includes an auto brightness toggle in the notifications shade. Hooray!
Okay, let's crank up the brightness and go outside to take some photos.
Camera
The OnePlus 5T has a dual camera on its back, and it's a solution we haven't seen before: both cameras have the same focal length equivalent and see the world in color. So it's not a zoom-capable setup like on the Galaxy Note8 or the iPhones, and it's not a color/monochrome pair like Huawei does (and Xiaomi, on occasion). The idea is that in low light the phone combines photos from the two cameras in an attempt to improve image quality.
The primary camera is a 16MP unit, while the secondary one is 20MP, both sensors courtesy of Sony, and both paired with f/1.7 aperture lenses. You're still getting a 2x toggle in the viewfinder, but it's digital zooming as both lenses have the same focal length and field of view.
We took a few quick shots around the office to get some first impressions, and things are looking good (we're not talking about the weather, obviously). Here's a sampler.
Camera samples
We also went out for some night shots around the usual locations. We won't be passing any verdicts just yet, but the results look promising.
Low light samples
The lack of a telephoto cam doesn't mean there's no portrait mode, on the contrary. It gives you an approximate live preview, but the end result is only visible later in the gallery.
Portrait samples
Of course, you can use it to isolate subjects that aren't people.
Portrait mode used for non-portraits
Some people would only take a selfie with the rear camera in a mirror, but the rest would be curious to learn that the selfie camera on the OnePlus 5t is unchanged from the previous model - it's another Sony contribution, a 16MP sensor behind a f/2.0 lens. Down below, you can find a couple of samples.

Benchmarks
We like synthetic benchmarks as much as the next guy - who doesn't enjoy putting a number to signify performance and ponder over differences in the single-digit percentages. So here is how the OnePlus 5t performs in a few of our favorite benchmark apps. Granted, it's using the best silicone Qualcomm has to offer this year, so performance is quite expectedly top notch.
