In case you missed our review, we stated that its gaming performance is silky smooth with almost no hiccups at all. Yes, even if you love to multitask.

As a matter of fact, running games like the NBA 2K17 or 18 and Asphalt 8 on all high settings is very possible. In my personal experience, it can compete, match, or even beat the gaming performance of some higher-end smartphones like the ones from Samsung, LG, and Huawei.

Moreover, the battery efficiency of its 3,300mAh battery is incredible. Meaning, you can play heavy games longer than most of the flagships today. It even has the Dash Charging support which can fully charge your OnePlus 5T under 70 mins from 0 to 100 percent!

If you are still not convinced, have a look at this quick gaming sample and full specs of the phone below.
