Launching its new flagship phone today, OnePlus joins in on the hottest trend of 2017 by nixing the display bezels, but it resists the urge to participate in another popular change by retaining its headphone jack. The new OnePlus 5T is only slightly taller than the OnePlus 5, however it fits a full 6-inch OLED display in roughly the same footprint as the earlier 5.5-inch device. OnePlus has also reworked its dual-camera system, making the secondary camera a dedicated low-light shooter, and it’s refined the already polished and appealing design of the 5 to a perfect finish. If you loved the OnePlus 5, but just wanted to see it with one of those fancy bezel-deprived displays, this new phone is the answer to your hopes.

Since the biggest change in the 5T is the display, let’s get right into it. With a new 18:9 aspect ratio and a slightly weird resolution of 1080 x 2160, the 5T is at once alien and familiar. Its pixel density of 401 ppi is ample to ensure clean, sharp images, and on first look you might not even be able to tell it’s an OLED display, owing to OnePlus’ hard work on tuning color rendering. There’s a broad set of color calibration options, including sRGB, so most people’s tastes should be sated by this screen. The unfamiliar thing about it is the elongated shape, which has only just started finding popularity this year with the Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6, Google Pixel 2 XL, iPhone X, and a few others moving to it.
