OnePlus 5T vs Pixel 2 XL: What We Know So Far

OnePlus 5T vs Pixel 2 XL: Specs

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.
