Expert Review
Croma Unboxed's retrospective found the OnePlus 5T became the first OnePlus phone to feature no hardware buttons on the front, moving the fingerprint reader from the power button to the rear panel to enable the edge-to-edge display.
VERDICT
A well-received design evolution that brought a modern edge-to-edge display to OnePlus, though the rear fingerprint placement change proved unpopular enough to be reversed in later models.
