OnePlus 5T render leaks online, shows a full-screen display

We reported earlier this month that OnePlus might not be releasing the OnePlus 5T. But the rumour mill is not letting this die. OnePlus seems to have pulled OnePlus 5 off the shelves and just might be looking to release the updated version next month (which is roughly the same time when the OnePlus 3T came out). New leaked renders coming out of China show what the OnePlus 5T could look like. What the renders show, as you see above, OnePlus seems to be joining the full-screen, nearly bezel-less bandwagon. The Home button doesn’t seem to exist beneath the 6-inch screen but we see a fingerprint sensor above the OnePlus logo at the back.

Some of the rumoured specs for this device include an 18:9 aspect ratio, a dual-rear camera setup with optical image stabilization and a 20-megapixel and 16-megapixel rear setup as well as a 16-megapixel front camera. Joining another trend, the OnePlus 5T might do away with the headphone jack. It’ll reportedly run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Again all of these are speculation at this point, OnePlus is still keeping mum about the possibility that this device is coming out.

Report hints at release dates for the new Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL

Leaked render of the Google Pixel 2 XL

The Google event, which is where we’re expecting to see the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, is almost upon us. But information about the new devices are still cropping up online. This time, the latest leak from Evan Blass (@evleaks) hints at the release date for the two devices. The Pixel 2 will supposedly be arriving this month on October 19^th, to be specific, while the Pixel 2 XL will be coming next month on November 15^th. According to Blass’s story on VentureBeat, there could also be a pre-order period for both devices ahead of the release but it wasn’t stated when that would be. With the Pixel 2 supposedly coming out a couple of weeks after this event, we won’t be surprised if that happens immediately.

When it comes to price, the Droid Life reported a few weeks ago that the Pixel 2 will reportedly retain last year’s prices at US$649 for the 64GB version and US$749 for the 128GB. And the Pixel 2 XL gets a price bump from US$769 for the 32GB to US$849 for the 64GB model and from last year’s US$869 for the 128GB model to US$949 for the same storage size.

Rumour has it there won’t be a OnePlus 5T, OnePlus 6 expected early 2018

If you’ve been holding for OnePlus to release a OnePlus 5T, you might not get your wish. Rumour has it that OnePlus isn’t planning on releasing a T version for the OnePlus 5. Instead, they are setting their sights on releasing OnePlus 6 in early 2018. Last year, OnePlus released the OnePlus 3T to upgrade the OnePlus 3’s processor from a Snapdragon 820 to 821. The OnePlus 5 is a pretty powerful device on its own so we’re not surprised that an upgrade isn’t in the cards—or at least this is what the rumours suggest.
