OnePlus 5T Design and Display
The OnePlus 5T occupies slightly bigger footprint than the original OnePlus 5. It looks and feels almost the same from the back, save for a bigger and bulging camera sensor and the new fingerprint sensor placement right above the OnePlus branding.
On the front, the phone is radically different. It looks a lot more premium, has significantly more screen space, significantly smaller bezels and has on-screen buttons. The display adjusts contrast based on what you are doing on your phone.
To compensate for lack of fingerprint sensor, OnePlus 5T has a Face unlock, which according to OnePlus can unlock your phone in 0.4 seconds.
Interestingly, you can’t use sensitive apps like banking apps when you unlock your phone with Face Unlock (for security).
