The Leaker

OnePlus, known for launching flagship killer smartphones for years presented their OnePlus 5 smartphone last year which has caused a serious impact on the sales of iPhones and Galaxies. For 2018 the company has recently launched their OnePlus 5T smartphone which has been doing well when it comes to sales. The design and structure of the device are influenced by the previous generation OnePlus 5 but still, it manages to look premium in a crowd of other phones. The biggest fact for which OnePlus came into headlines is their pricing strategy; they earn a little profit on each unit of the device but on the other hand, it is a big benefit for a consumer. OnePlus devices come equipped with top of the line hardware and software, but still, they cost half of the price of iPhones. The latest OnePlus 5T comes with a Bezel-less display which has been first time used in a OnePlus powered device; the Display is an AMOLED one which shows those contrast-rich blacks and saturated colors. The device houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835(64 bit) Octa-Core processor under the hood coupled with optional 6GB/8GB of RAM. The second big advantage of using a OnePlus device is that the brand provides timely updates and the unofficial development is also at its peak for the devices.
