OnePlus 5T Rumours: Release Date, UK Price, Features & Specifications

OnePlus 5T Rumours: Release Date, UK Price, Features & Specifications  18 Oct. 2017 21:44 OnePlus 5T could be announced on 5 November. We round-up the rumours on the new OnePlus 5T specifications, features, price and UK launch date. We’ve seen a ’T’ suffixed OnePlus before in the  OnePlus 3T . That phone arrived six months after the OnePlus 3, so the timing is right here for a successor to the  OnePlus 5  in the OnePlus 5T. However, rumours of a  leaked event invite  for 5 November have been confirmed false by OnePlus. The original T model OnePlus in essence gave the handset a speed boost, moving from the 2.2GHz Snapdragon 820 in the OnePlus 3 to the 2.35GHz Snapdragon 821 in the 3T. The new chip offered a 10 percent performance boost. OnePlus also upgraded the selfie camera from an 8Mp model to a 16Mp version that performed better in low light, and it increased the battery capacity from 3000mAh to 3400mAh. A new 128GB stor...

If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone.

BEZEL-LESS BATTLE Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy S8+: It's all in the details Wednesday, Oct 4, 2017 at 1:14 am EDT The Galaxy S8+ is still the best Android phone available today, but the Mi Mix 2 has a lot going for it. The  Galaxy S8+  is going strong five months after its release, with the phone  breaking Samsung's sales records . The South Korean manufacturer introduced the Infinity View display with the Galaxy S8 series, offering a dual curved display with minimal bezels at the top and bottom.

Xiaomi, for its part, attracted considerable attention with the Mi Mix last year, and the company has refined the bezel-less formula with the  Mi Mix 2 .
