Hey guys! It's David. I'll be hanging out to take your questions regarding the 5T. I've also got one with me in house so I can comment on any specifics you have as well.

Ask away!

I really don't understand why you're talking about this phone as if it's bad.

[VickyPleaj]

If face unlock is available on OP5T just with the front camera... then can we expect the same feature on OP3/3T/5 in future updates of Oxygen OS?

*I've been waiting for this phone and see what it offers.*

[techderaudios]

Theres no price bump in europe because it was expensiver here first

[suryagunner]

Guys you are so fast...just only watched the live launch...and a hands on...very Nice to watch

[masterofdisaster]

Uhm I thought that it's getting dual optical image stabilization?

I didn't get that...right

[connorcreviews]

Think i nearly died listening to you talk about this phone... the enthusiasm is overwhelming (sarcasm), if your gonna do a review on a new smart phone that is actually excellent at least try and sound enthused to make it sound appealing to a potential audience. This phone will probably be one of oneplus's best phones yet (marking out the Oneplus one), making that price tag look a little more appealing when competing with other phones with similar looking screens and specs. Having the Snapdragon 835 and 8GB ram with that new display seems like a pretty great deal if you as me.

its really a flagship killer with same price of one plus 5 its really awesome

The resolution of the camera can give an amazing digital zoom with no visible noise, I would take better low light performance over 2x optical zoom any day!

Doesn't matter where finger reader with the face reader and using it doesn't allow you to use pay apps without using fingerprint reader

"You're going to have to get used to it in the back"

Tell that to my girlfriend Android Authority.

[sajankirpal]

Definitely upgrade to this from my oneplus 3

[ellulturner]

I'm glad they got rid of optical zoom it's hardly noticeable when compared to software zoom.

Can u test gps with google maps? My OnePlus 3 loses signal and can’t recover location

[aninditchatterjee]

This year's OnePlus add campaign is on point. It a wonderful approach.

Wow that is a quick vid upload by AA. ✌️✌️

I'm wondering about the camera performance, compared to the Note 8, Pixel 2 XL and iPhone X.

[PhazonBlaxor]

Not having the 2x focal length on second camera isn't really a big deal. If you check some comparisons on Linus tech tips for instance, pretty much all phones that feature the 2x optical zoom don't offer much better quality compared to the main shooter shots simply cropper in. The secondary camera just isn't as sharp usually, this is true for Apple, Samsung and Oneplus. So it makes sense to me that they are trying to do something different this time around.

Is vibration still non optional, forced on user, like on previous models?
