OnePlus 5T Official Promotional Poster Leaked

OnePlus 5T rumours refused to fizzle out and as we get closer to the alleged launch date, these leaks will just increase in number. However, that doesn’t mean every leak can be taken on its face value, and it is important to anakyse some leaked images. The latest one that is doing the rounds on the internet is that of the promotional poster of the launch event.

As can be seen in the image, the poster looks as legitimate as it gets. However, it is fair to say that this image is nothing but a well designed hoax. Remember the Ultra Pixel? The caption as well doesn’t seem like something a brand would go for. The word footprint is a term largely used within the tech industry and isn’t a word laymen use to describe a phone. The rumoured specifications do seem to be on point and feasible for a 6-month upgrade.

Just like the OnePlus 3T, the OnePlus 5T is expected to be an incremental update rather than a drastic new upgrade in terms of hardware. The 5T is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset as it is the current flagship chipset. The dual cameras at the back are also expected to be the same as found on the OnePlus 5. The OnePlus 5T will have a 6 inch AMOLED display with a 2160 x 1080 x resolution which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio.

The smartphone is expected to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OnePlus’ Oxygen OS on top. The 2017 flagship will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with a combination of either 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage or a whopping 8GB RAM and 128 of storage which can not be expanded. The OnePlus 5T is also expected feature dual cameras on the back, one of the main cameras is a 20 MP sensor with an f/2.6 aperture, while the other is a 16 MP camera with an aperture of F/1.7 . The secondary telephoto lens is used for 2X lossless optical zoom and a ‘portrait mode’ for blurred background images.

Co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei recently held a poll on Twitter:

The overwhelming response in favour of the headphone jack should at least guarantee that the OnePlus 5T if launched, will have the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack.
