Other than the fresh coat of paint however, the phone is otherwise unchanged. It features a 6.28-inch OLED display.

Unfortunately, the phone also lacks waterproofing, wireless charging and has a shorter battery life than its OnePlus 5T predecessor. In the US, the phone doesn't work on CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint.
