Disclaimer: As I am sure many of you know, I have 'won' this phone from
The Lab - OnePlus 5T Edition contest. In order to be allowed to keep the phone, the only requirement is for me to review the device honestly. Any opinions here are my own, and haven't been swayed to any particular direction.
Video Unboxing
Written Unboxing
Since receiving a notification of the scheduled delivery date, I was incredibly excited. Being shipped from Poland, it surprisingly only took a day as it made its way to Germany, before finally traveling over the sea to little old UK. As soon as I finished college, I rushed my way home to unbox the OnePlus 5T.
Looking at the box itself, it remains almost identical the the box of the OnePlus 3 and 5:

In fact, it almost is indistinguishable from the OnePlus 5, until you look at the sides where it says, "OnePlus 5T" and "Dual Cameras. Clearer Photos" respectively:
When you first open the box the OnePlus 5T revealed in all its stunning glory:

Underneath this all, we have a lot more to see! Inside the red rectangular box, we find: a quick start guide (which I don't use
), safety information, a SIM ejector tool, and what is perhaps the one of the most important things in any unbox ... Drum Roll Please... Stickers!
All of this is contained in a dark translucent TPU case which is very flexible and is a nice thing to have as it should provide adequate protection against normal everyday use.
Here is a picture of everything included:

One little thing I liked, that changed from the previous versions, is that the OnePlus logo is now the right way up in the UK Dash Charge Power Adapter. It's a tiny thing as I don't really look at it much but it's still nice to have:

I also had a chance to unbox a case and share it here, so as a throwback to the OnePlus One and Two, I chose the sandstone protective case. This case, while not thick or most shock absorbing, is definitely really grippy and has a nice feel in the hand as it doesn't add any 'bulk'. It's more about drop prevention rather than drop protection so hopefully I won't drop it

Also, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback on this review, so if you have any comments or criticism let me know so I can improve!
