OnePlus has been crafting high-end smartphones for a while, but the new OnePlus 5 feels like something special. Sure, the design might seem derivative, and it lacks the kind of mind-blowing screens its competitors pack. It’s also a little more expensive than the OnePlus phones of the recent past. Ultimately though, you’re getting a stunningly fast machine with a surprisingly good camera and solid battery life. Building a great phone on a budget is an exercise in compromise, but after our week of testing, it’s clear that OnePlus has made the leap into smartphone greatness.

I’ve been scrolling through all these reviews looking for something on battery life. That means a great deal to me! Yeah I know it’s got the Dash Charge but I really wish a phone could be made that didnt need to be charged daily!
It seems an amazing smartphone with one normal price ( considering that the brand is OnePlus)
great review
I’m debating on which one to get the 6mp or the 8mp and the 64 or the 128gb can someone tell me what’s the difference
Shit Phone no way near worth £500 I have a phone that cost me £200 new and pretty much matches it in most areas and even beats it in terms of storage and battery if I was going to spend that much on a phone might as well spend more and get the S8 or G6 or wait for the V30 or G7 or even S9
Op5 will sell like hotcake as always, thank you for all your support
There a small company with no advanced technology. If you watched the stream they mention wanting a “bezel-less” screen, but did not have the technology. STOP bashing and appreciate.
if u want gorgeous Design(not a copy), infinity display(qHD), wireless charging,water & dust resistance, better camera, and awesome Samsung accessories (like Samsung pay, Samsung dex, AKG earbuds) you just have to pay $150 extra and buy S8; otherwise op5
but surely op has lost its uniqueness
Fiyat yüksek huawei p10, g6, mi6 gibi rakipleri karşısında tutunması zor
I’ve heard the cameras are hit and miss?
watching on a one plus 5
This is no way a flagship killer. Have been a oneplus fan… owned opo, op2 and op3t… but disappointed with op5. It is definitely not per the slogan of oneplus “never settle”. They settled for a full hd screen rather than competing with 4k’s out there. They settled by blatantly copying iphone7+ design. They settled for same bezel based display screen when flagships are going bezel less. they settled for no ipx ratings when other flagships are already water resistant to great extent. They did nothing else but grouping together last years innovations in one phone and calling it industry disruptive device shamelessly. It is a great job done by their marketing team in creating hype and every one is buying it.
i can wait for the op6
If anybody wants $20 off any accessory with a purchase of a OnePlus 5 then use my completely legit referral code here: https://oneplus.net/invite#VLVX7N72SN3YFS3 Thanks!
well I don’t think oneplus 5 is the flagship killer anymore its design is copy its dual camera setup ..didnt like the telephotolense and no hardware stabilize and the price which makes the oneplus the oneplus is no more but in the price rang it is the best but in my opinion it didn’t impresse me that much
I bought the S8 two days ago instead. the lack of originality annoyed me. looks way too similar to the iPhone. oppo and one plus need to stop drinking the iPhone kool aid.
battery life… ugggghhhhhhh, I want to see a full YouTube playback drain test… please
One Plus 5: Hardware from 2018 with Bezel from 2015!!!
My question is… US version, International version, Chinese version.. Do they use different bands? Does the international version work with every popular network band? I dont know which one I need to buy….
I just cant trust a person that uses blaring white theme all over his AMOLED screen!
Top comment on OP5 videos
~ Gonna get s8+
~ Prefer the LG6
Honestly 1 thing i feel people miss out on point out is how smooth the software is over time. IMO, i’m dissapointed after switching from galaxy s7 to note 5 then lg v20 .. all these phones the software just dont keep up with it over time.. specially samsung..
I feel the OP5 is a like a cheaper pixel which is a phone to be in your pocket for some time. I really think its a good buy to get this.
i think its better then oppo
1+3t price drops will be a good deal or I’m just going to wait for LG G6+ or LG V30 or Pixel 2. This 1+5 will be a good sale deal if the price is lower between $30 to $50.
As a OnePlus 3 owner I don’t need to upgrade. however it’s still a no brainer for performance to price ratio. Id still feel like a schmuck with a Samsung or Apple paying over double and having to put up with their faults and oddties. Oxygen os undeniably just feels right.
iPhone 7p with Android basically
agreed that the comparison is overblown. really wished they didn’t resort to that look, like adding something else where the cameras are to mask the resemblance… it is what it is now though and for the people who prefer performance over all else will be glad picking up one of these…
best review of the plus5 yet
rather pay 145$ more for the s8
It beat out other phones in benchmarks because it cheated.

Honestly this phone looks promising. Good price, awesome performance, clean and smooth os and…bezels. All these phones are moving towards an all screen look I almost want to stick with the old times lols.
one plus 5 or s7 edge?
As owner of one plus one .. I am disappointed by this release .. probably go Samsung as well
boaring…
My grey OP5 will be delivered tomorrow (Thursday) and I can’t wait to hold it in my hands.
I’m not considering upgrading my OP3 to this at all. The gap between the cost of this and the other major flagships is slowly closing, which means that OP are loosing their USP. This year, customers are expected to pay more for a better camera …. and that’s about it. What’s essentially happened is that they couldn’t build a significantly better phone than the 3T for the same price and so they spent some extra money on a camera to give people a reason to buy it. They’ve lost their place as the best value IMO.

is it water proof?
For me it’s hard to like the OnePlus 5…..
