Another important area and factor in buying a new phone are the specs. OnePlus makes high-end phones affordable, so that's not a problem here. In fact, it matches or tops the Pixel 2 XL in every category.
These phones are almost identical under the hood, except the OnePlus 5T has a lot more RAM which should help with gaming and multi-tasking. Here's the full rundown. OnePlus 5T Specs (Rumored)
- 6-inch 1080p HD Display (Small bezels)
- Snapdragon 835 Processor (same as Pixel 2 XL)
- 6GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage, or 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage
- No micro-SD card slot
- Android Nougat with Oxygen OS or Android Oreo
- Dual Rear Cameras – 20 Megapixel f/1.6 camera and secondary 16 Megapixel f/2.4 aperture lens
- 16 Megapixel front camera
- Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner
- bigger 3,450 mAh battery with Faster Dash Charging (0-92% in one hour)
- USB Type-C Port, headphone jack, mute slider button
- Bottom Firing Speakers, more
As you can see, this is a powerful phone. Packing a big screen, tons of RAM, plenty of storage and dual rear cameras. There's a chance it'll launch with Android 8.0 Oreo too, but we'll have to wait and see. Pixel 2 XL Specs
- 6-inch 2880 x 1440 Quad-HD OLED Display
- Snapdragon 835 Processor with 4GB of RAM
- 64/128GB storage options, no micro-SD slot
- Android Oreo
- 12.2 Megapixel Rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS
- 8MP front-facing camera
- Dual Front-Facing Stereo Speakers
- 3,520 mAh battery with Quick Charging
- IP67 Dust & Water-Resistance
- Google Assistant, Google Lens, more
- USB Type-C port, fingerprint scanner on back
- No 3.5mm headphone jack, no wireless charging
Google's phone has the latest version of Android, a slightly bigger battery, and water-resistance. On the other hand, it doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack like the OnePlus 5T does.
