This is where the launch event of the phone will take place. Thanks to the company CEO, Pete Lau, OnePlus is not planning to hop on the bandwagon of wireless audio technology. We already know that the model is going to retain its 3.5 mm headphone jack so as far as OnePlus 5T is concerned so the user will not have to buy an expensive set of Bluetooth headphones. The company also claims that the phone will come with one of the industry's most powerful video stabilization solutions, as well as one of its most accurate sRGB display calibrations. On Friday, OnePlus had also tweeted a photo where the OnePlus 5 was placed on top of the OnePlus 5T. To the naked eyes, they look roughly of the same size.
