With a few more days left until the official OnePlus 5T launch, there has been increasing leaks about the handset. The latest includes a list of full specifications and a tell-all unboxing gallery.

In what might have been an accidental upload, ZDNet published an unboxing photo gallery of the OnePlus 5T's press kit, including its official cases, the official spec sheet, and some side-by-side comparison pictures with the OnePlus 5, Samsung Galaxy S8, and Xiaomi Mi MIX 2.

The photos, which also circulated on Reddit and Twitter, confirm that OnePlus did go with a "bezel-light" design. It removed the home button, moved the fingerprint sensor at the back of the device, and retained the good old 3.5mm headphone jack.

Specs-wise, it has a 6.01-inch AMOLED with a 1080p (1080 x 2160 pixels) Full High Definition Plus resolution and an aspect ratio of 18:9, coated with a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The device sports a pair of high-powered cameras at the back and a single snapper up front. The backside pair has a dual LED flash in full effect, and all lenses are Sony IMX-branded. The "Secondary" image sensor is now an IMX 376K with an aperture of f/1.7 as compared to OnePlus 5's IMX 350 and f/2.6.

Under the hood is either 6 gigabytes (GB) or 8 GB of random access memory (RAM), 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage, 3,300mAh battery, Snapdragon 835 chipset, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

The documentation also confirms that the OnePlus 5T will start shipping on Tuesday, Nov. 21, for both North American and European markets. Unfortunately, no price details were provided. Rumor has it the device would cost the same as OnePlus 5: $479 for the 64 GB variant and $539 for the 128 GB. However, a recent tweet from CEO Pete Lau suggests otherwise.
