OnePlus is set to unveil its latest handset, the OnePlus 5T, at an event in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Nov. 16. And if you want to be there, you can buy a ticket for $40.
That’s right, the company that coined the motto «Never Settle» is charging fans for tickets to its first-ever U. S. launch event on November 16. While OnePlus will still be live-streaming the event via its web site, if you want to see the 5T in all its glory you can buy a ticket for $40 starting November 8 at noon ET. OnePlus doesn’t say how many seats will be available or where the event will be held, but we do know it will take place in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Like last year’s OnePlus 3T, the OnePlus 5T is a mid-cycle refresh of the OnePlus 5. However, this year’s model might bring more than a bigger battery and a better camera. Rumors have pegged the handset as having an all-new new design that follows the slim-bezel, 18:9 aspect ratio trend we’ve seen in Samsung and LG phones, and the tagline on the event website, «A New View,» seems to corroborate those reports.
That would certainly be a welcome change. When we reviewed the OnePlus 5 back in June, we felt that the design left a little to be desired, with its 5.5-inch screen, chunky bezels, and home button. A 6-inch display would certainly change things, especially if it also brings wireless charging, water resistance, and Verizon support.
We’ll have to wait to see what OnePlus unveils next Thursday, but if you want to be there and have $40 burning a hole in your pocket, OnePlus will happily sell you a ticket to the big show.
