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.

        I have a feeling that they made the OnePlus 5 look like the iPhone 7 Plus, so that early review units in public would be mistaken for the latter! :P

            It is more expensive than before but the good news is that the OnePlus 5 has some of the best possible specs and still offers bang for buck.

            True it doesn't have a MicroSD card slot like it's predecessors but at least the headphone jack lives on (unlike the Xiaomi Mi 6, iPhone 7 & HTC U11)!

            The camera performance isn't as good as what the specs suggest, but the phone is pretty good in almost every other way.

              Good grief their camera software has taken a huge hit, it looks as bad as Sony shots, Oneplus 3T images were far sharper with less noise and far less eager on the ISO boosting. The battery life is splendid though. Damn, was about to pull the trigger but those camera shots are no bueno. Slightly disappointing. Oh well I'll see what Mi Mix 2 has to offer.
