OnePlus 5T deals and reviews

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

After using the OnePlus 5T for close to a month, it's clear that this is one of the best smartphones released in 2017.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The OnePlus 5T is a brilliant phone. Its price makes the OnePlus 5T an absolute bargain, offering a top-notch experience for considerably less than the competition - you could buy two 5Ts and still have spare for the cost of one iPhone X.

The OnePlus 5T impresses with a larger screen and better camera, at the same price. Once again OnePlus proves you don't need to spend so much on a smartphone.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

OnePlus has held the smartphone value crown for years now, with top-spec blowers that don't deplete your bank balance. Really though, the price is what should make the 5T a winner.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

The flagship killer is back, bigger and better than ever. Although it isn't as cheap as OnePlus phones from years gone by, this - on first impressions - still seems like an incredible phone, that just also happens to cost a lot less than regular big-name flagship phones.

IT PRO | Dale Walker

The OnePlus 5T is everything an upgrade should be. It takes the best bits of its predecessor and adds a modern looking design that rivals the best smartphones on the market. You'll struggle to find anything else on the market that offers similar value for money.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow, Jonathan Bray

OnePlus' refreshed flagship has a swanky new screen and a camera that's intended for use in low-light; and a Star Wars edition is on the way. For me, the OnePlus 5T strikes the perfect balance between affordability, performance, design and battery life. It's pretty much the perfect smartphone.

Alphr | Jonathan Bray

If ever there was an easy product to recommend, it's the OnePlus 5T. If you want waterproofing and storage expansion, then the slightly smaller Samsung Galaxy S8 remains an amazing buy but for the ultimate in value it's hard to look past OnePlus' latest. It's quite simply the best mid-range smartphone money can buy.

AndroidPit | Steffen Herget

All others who are looking for a strong and successful smartphone should have the OnePlus 5T on their list.

Techweez | Saruni Maina

There's really no one thing that I can pick and say I hate about the P20 Lite. The phone comes with all the traditional bells and whistles of a 2018 mid-range smartphone.

TheEffect.Net | Tony

The OnePlus 5T is highly recommended and if you're looking for a new phone in 2018, it's the one to go for right now.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

The OnePlus 5T is a flagship contender, as long as you don't need the best camera. With a 6-inch display and thinner bezels, the OnePlus 5T is nearly as good as the premium crop of Android phones, but for hundreds less.

TechRadar | John McCann

While there are a few small compromises to consider - no QHD display, stereo speakers, expandable storage or standout camera - the OnePlus 5T represents some of the best value for money in the market. You won't be disappointed.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

OnePlus moved away from the "shockingly good" value market when they ramped up prices earlier this year. With the OnePlus 5T, they've left the $300-$400 range wide open. For their range, they're right on top.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

You're not going to score Galaxy S or iPhone performance from the OnePlus 5T, but you'll spend a few hundreds less and still come pretty close. If you prefer unlocked phones and want to keep costs down and performance up, the OnePlus 5T finds the right mix of both.

Know Your Mobile | Damien McFerran

Boasting a massive, punchy screen and excellent specs, the OnePlus 5T is easily one of the best Android handsets of the year, and when you take into account its low price it becomes even easier to recommend.

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

If you need a 3.5mm audio jack or are just looking for a fast phone that covers the gamut of functionality, it's very possible that the OnePlus 5T is the phone you've been waiting for. OnePlus is once again offering a phone that looks and feels every bit as good as phones many hundreds of dollars more expensive.

ZDNet | Sandra Vogel

Flagship smartphone quality at half the price. OnePlus has certainly made its mark on the high-end smartphone market. Still, there's room for improvement.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

OnePlus keeps on churning out the best value-for-money phones around. If you're looking for a great Android phone but can't quite stomach the prices being asked for the Google Pixel 2, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or Huawei Mate 10 Pro, then you really won't be disappointed with the OnePlus 5T.

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

The OnePlus 5T gives you this year's must-have mobile tech for less. You cannot afford to ignore the fast, gorgeous, low priced OnePlus 5T smartphone

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

OnePlus improves upon its previous flagship by throwing in a massive 18:9 display, shrinking the bezels, and tweaking the cameras to deliver one of the best phones of the year, all for a tiny price.

CNET UK | Lynn La

The OnePlus 5T is a superb, affordable phone for new buyers, despite only minor changes from the OnePlus 5.

Android Authority | Joshua Vergara, David Imel

The OnePlus 5T is a wonderful update to an already premium affordable handset. Though the only obvious updates are a bigger screen, re-positioned fingerprint reader and different camera, the software improvements and overall experience make this one of the best phones you can buy in its price range.

Ubergizmo | Eliane Fiolet

The OnePlus 5t offers an excellent performance for the price.

phoneArena | John V.

OnePlus 5T is a valiant offering if you're looking for that flagship-grade, top-bang-for-the-buck smartphone, but are on a tight budget. However, as much as we're impressed by its low cost, The OnePlus 5T is not a surefire winner that can topple the greats in the high-end space right now.

Neowin | Timi Cantisano

With that said, the OnePlus 5T isn't a complete package. But, if there is a silver lining, it's that you haven't paid an arm and a leg, so you still get great value from the handset.

NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer

Although the OnePlus 5T is not quite as bezel-free or slim as the Galaxy S8+, the OnePlus 5T is a great development from its predecessor that has up until now managed to stay faux pas free (unlike the OnePlus 5 when it was launched). So we can definitely state: The flagship killer is back!

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

To conclude, the OnePlus 5T is certainly one of the fastest Android smartphones of 2017 and it does come with a premium look and display ... but when it comes to the camera, the phone struggles.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey

... if you have the OnePlus 5 and are basically concerned with general phone performance and like being able to zoom in without losing detail, stay with it.

GadgetMatch | Marvin Velasco

... the OnePlus 5T has more strengths than drawbacks, and has few worthy rivals at this price point.

Gadgets Now | Heena Gupta

It has a bezel-less display, face unlock feature and a better camera for low light photography. However, if you are still looking for alternatives then you can consider buying the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.

91mobiles | Ershad Kaleebullah

That said, if you already own the OnePlus 5 upgrading to the OnePlus 5T might not be necessary. However, if you want to buy an Android phone, you really cannot go wrong with the 5T. The pre-launch hype was all worth it.

Wired | Jeffrey Van Camp

The OnePlus 5T is fully stocked and fashion-forward, making it one of the best Android phones you can buy. If you want the best, but don't want to spend the most, the OnePlus 5T is right up there with the fanciest Android phones money can buy, all for hundreds less.

PC Mag | Sascha Segan

The OnePlus 5T makes a bet that improved low-light camera capabilities can set it apart from its predecessor.

V3 | Holly Brockwell

A stylish, well-specified smartphone let down by a lacklustre camera.

Wired UK | Jeremy White

The latest phone from the Chinese manufacture has all the things we've come to expect from much more expensive models. If you're looking for a cheap Android, this could be the phone for you.

TechnoBuffalo | Brandon Russell

OnePlus knowns how to make a good device, and the OnePlus 5T is the company's best yet. If your budget doesn't extend, the OnePlus 5T is no doubt among the best values out there.

The Telegraph | Matthew Field

OnePlus has also won me over by keeping the phone's price the same as its old model. You really feel you are getting premium features from a OnePlus phone. For my money, this is still the most feature-packed, stylish and powerful phone you can pick up for its price.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

We're quite happy with what Lenovo has done with the Moto X4. It is a good pick if you're looking for good looks, decent performance and water resistance in a compact body.

The Verge | Vlad Savov

The OnePlus 5T is a slightly great phone. In today's world no phone can be truly great without having a great camera on board, and I don't think the 5T has one of those. For anyone whose budget extends no further than this phone, I give it an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Mashable | Raymond Wong

The OnePlus 5T could have been one of the year's best phones if not for its mediocre cameras. I like almost everything there is about the 5T. But bad cameras that take inconsistent photos are unacceptable and, unfortunately, drag down what is otherwise a great phone.

Android Central | Andrew Martonik

Come for the value, not the excitement. The OnePlus 5T isn't an industry-leading phone with the latest features that other companies will have to scramble to match. But it's still an exceptional value in an Android market that's getting surprisingly expensive at the top-end.

Firstpost | Sheldon Pinto

With the OnePlus 5T, things haven't changed much in terms of construction and build quality, what has changed is the display that now makes for an attractive package, despite its average camera performance.

Mobile Syrup | Igor Bonifacic

With great software, long-lasting battery life and consistently fast performance, it's easy to overlook some of its blemishes when it does so many things so well. Like the 5 before it, the 5T misses its chance at being a truly exceptional consumer device.

The Inquirer | Holly Brockwell

The OnePlus 5T makes an appealing budget alternative to a flagship. However, not all the flagship features are there. Nonetheless, this is a solid almost-all-rounder and very good value for the price -- just don't buy it if photography is top of your list.
