It is a Full HD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 2160X1080 as compared to a 1920X1080 display on OnePlus 5.

OnePlus 5T vs OnePlus 5: Camera
OnePlus has made some important changes to the camera department in OnePlus 5T. It still features a 16MP primary sensor with a 20MP secondary sensor. However, OnePlus claims that they have used a larger f/1.7 aperture lens to improve the low-light photography where OnePlus 5 struggled. OnePlus introduced a new technology called “intelligent pixel technology” which uses 4 pixels and combine them to make one pixel resulting in a better low-light image.
OnePlus 5T have an improved portrait mode which now works on a software implementation like the Google Pixel devices. Yes, the telephoto lens has been replaced by the 20MP f/1.7 sensor but the 2x zoom is implemented optically.
