Aggarwal says the changes on the OnePlus 5T are not significant enough to classify as a whole new product. Instead, the OnePlus 5T is a variant that offers a better display for improving the overall experience. He also notes that the premium segment is difficult to compete in since there are so many other phones that compete for the top spot. On top of that, he also confirms the OnePlus 5s to be the same as the s: discontinuation. OnePlus appears to have a very interesting strategy, one that weve already seen happen in two consecutive years: The new-generation flagship model is released: (OnePlus 3/5). Then, about halfway into the product cycle, the phone maker launches a new model with a minor update over the initial launch in both cases, a T is added to the end of the name: OnePlus 3T/5T. This is a strategy that other phone makers already use. Samsung and LG have two phone releases that stagger the other. Samsung released its Galaxy S in the spring and then its Galaxy Note in the fall. LG releases the G flagship in the spring and then the V flagship in the fall. The strategy of staggering the releases is one that keeps the company's smartphones relevant in an industry where things get forgotten after a few months.
