It’s T-minus four (five in the Philippines) days until the OnePlus 5T launch in Brooklyn, New York. But as early as now, we already got a good look at the smartphone, courtesy of YouTuber Karl Conrad.
The video was taken down after a few hours, but thankfully, some people — the tech gods bless them — were able to salvage it. Here’s the unboxing video OnePlus pretends it didn’t want you to see.
OnePlus 5T unboxing
The video confirms previous reports — that the OnePlus 5T, unlike the OnePlus 5 that came before it, has kept up with the times. The screen is nearly borderless and has an 18:9 aspect ratio, something we all know is a smartphone trend these days. This means that the fingerprint sensor has been moved to the back.

Other than those two changes, though, everything’s the same design-wise.
Two days ago, the OnePlus 5T’s full specs got leaked out. It reveals that the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. There are two variants — one packs 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, and the other has a whopping 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in memory.

The screen is AMOLED, measures 6 inches, and is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5. There are 16- and 20-megapixel cameras on the back and a 16-megapixel cam up front. The non-removable 3,300mAh battery can be quickly charged, thanks to the company’s popular Dash Charge technology. Unfortunately, it’s still stuck on Android 7.1.1 Nougat; we’d have liked it to have Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
