OnePlus is a company that makes great smartphone for a relatively low price. In essence, its phones represent great value-for-money. The OnePlus 3T is the best phone it offers for now. However, soon the OnePlus 5 will replace the 3T at the top of OnePlus’ smartphone lineup. Going by how OnePlus makes its phones, expect the OnePlus 5 to be another potential flagship killer. However, what happens when the future flagship killer meets the present flagship assassin? This is what we are about to find out in our OnePlus 5 vs OnePlus 3T comparison.

OnePlus 5 vs OnePlus 3T Comparison

Price

OnePlus 5 Price (expected)	Rs 30,000 – 35,000
OnePlus 3T Price	Rs 29,999

While the OnePlus 5’s may cost more than Rs 30,000, there is one caveat. OnePlus may reduce (and it should) the price of the 3T. If that happens, there will be space for OnePlus 5’s pricing to not go beyond Rs 30,000. Let’s keep our fingers crossed in this regard.

This OnePlus 5 vs OnePlus 3T comparison will be incomplete if we don’t compare their specs. Leaks of OnePlus 5’s specs have been coming out for some time now. Putting them side by side with those of OnePlus 3T, few things come to light. First, the OnePlus 3T is still quite powerful. Secondly, OnePlus 5 may sport a similar look to LG G5. Why? It will be coming with a larger screen but not a larger battery. This is usually a tradeoff when making a compact phone with large screen. Another phone with massive screen-body ratio? OnePlus 5 may be that.
