OnePlus has managed to deliver another impressive smartphone set to rival recent offerings from other tech giants. The handset, called the OnePlus 3T, is an update on the company's current flagship, the OnePlus 3. Based on its official specs, the new and improved smartphone bears a more powerful processor, a better camera, and more native storage when compared to its predecessor, but how will it do when pitted against the Google Pixel?

Google's Pixel phone made a huge splash when it was introduced last month alongside the Google Pixel XL. The device made quite an impression due to its Daydream VR support, 4K footage, and it was also the first smartphone to come with Android 7.1 Nougat right out of the box. It would take a worthy challenger to bring down this smartphone, which is one of the most popular phones as of the moment.
