OnePlus 5 review: Doing the math

20 June 2017
Strange that with a name like that OnePlus doesn't know simple addition. Oh well, tetraphobia is real and many product lines avoid the number 4, so it's anything but odd for a Chinese company to skip straight to 5. That, and the 3T was sort of like a 4.

A complete rip off of the iPhone 7 but it looks way better than the iPhone 7.

Thumbs up to GSMA for a fast review just a couple of hours past when this beast was released.

    I think after releasing iPhone 7s and 8 we will be seeing 7 plus for at 700$ or below . It has water resistance , stereo speakers, and seriously guys that apple logo now looks way more classier and original than that + thing.

      My 2 and half year old MotoX2 has water resistance.
      i was looking forward to buy this phone, but very concerned about not having ingress protection.
      also the design dint completely inspire me.

      Oneplus 5 is just one thing, Camera.

        Akinaro, 20 Jun 2017Jesus Christ... Seriously designers in 2017 dont have brain... moreDon't mind the design, mind the phone performance :P

          Guess review units were distributed well in advance to reviewers but they were still not allowed to "officially" disclose the specs, just a few hours ago even gsma posted a "rumour roundup" of OP5 before, who knows with an OP5 in hand :P

              I feel like GSMArena pranked us. They had it but weren't allowed to tell us, but now that they release the review at the same time as the presentation, it's obvious that they had it for testing before.

                Review already up? Impressed, fantastic(thumbs up)

                  Jesus Christ... Seriously designers in 2017 dont have brain to make something new and original? There is no technical limitations of what you can do, there are so many ways to make that damn back more pleasing for eye... and still no one have balls to make something new...
                  Back in iPhone-Galaxy S war there where actually NO similarities to each phone. Look at devices from 2009-2012. Look how Sony had his own style with Xperias, how LG and other companies tried experimenting with design to make their devices unique.
                  And now? They copy each other like every company take design from one guy that is locked in some basement with only A4 paper and pencil, and he draw one design, over, and over, and over, and over again, and again and again...
