This OnePlus 5T Leak Is Our Best Look Yet At The Incoming Thin Bezel Android Flagship

We've seen quite a few leaks surrounding the alleged OnePlus 5T over the past month, but the most credible leak to date has just made its way to Twitter. Noted leaker Evan Blass posted an render of what he claims to be the top half of the OnePlus 5T, and is confirms what we've previously been told: the device will feature thin bezels on the sides and minimal bezels at the top and bottom of the display.

There's not much else to glean from the solitary image other than a front-facing camera, front-mounted sensors, a slit for the earpiece speaker and a side button. There also appears to be just a hint of a curve to the corners of the display, instead of breaking at 90-degree angles.

This latest leaked render largely lines up with what we've seen in the past, and highlights a device that looks strikingly similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8. As for the device's hardware specs, it's rumored that the OnePlus 5T will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with 8GB of RAM. It will have a 6-inch display with a 2160x1080 resolution display, a 20MP main camera and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The smartphone will also be running Android 8.0 Oreo. Two weeks ago, we revealed that OnePlus opened up its OxygenOS Android 8.0 Beta for OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T owners. For a step-by-step guide on how to install the OS on your machine, be sure to check out our guide.

Unfortunately, we don't have an idea at this time when OnePlus 5T will bow. However, it will be landing in shark-infested waters as the high-end smartphone market is currently loaded with competent offerings of both the Android and iOS persuasion.
