The OnePlus 5 mobile features a 5.5" (13.97 cm) display and runs on Android v7.1.1 (Nougat) operating system. The device is powered by a Octa core (2.45 GHz, Quad core, Kryo 280 + 1.9 GHz, Quad core, Kryo 280) processor paired with 6 GB of RAM. As far as the battery is concerned it has 3300 mAh. Over that, as far as the rear camera is concerned this mobile has a 16 MP camera and the front snapper is powered by a Exmor RS sensor.managed to impress the crowd. We loved the OnePlus 3T's saturated and vibrant display. And the story remains the same with the OnePlus 5. The new Optic Amoled display in the OnePlus 5 is no doubt well saturated and has good brightness levels. The 5.5-inch display is easily viewable under direct sunlight and is comfortable on the eyes in low-light situations. Even the screen bezels are said to be 10% narrower than the 3T.The OnePlus 5 runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat-based OxygenOS 4.5, the company's latest home-brewed OS version. We later also received OxygenOS 4.5.1 with several app stability and optimisations. The OxygenOS, as mentioned by the company, is much lighter than before. There is no bloat in the UI and the animations while opening and closing the app have also been stripped down. Users won't notice this right away but the refined UI does speed up the process to some extent. One of the additions in the UI is the new Reading Mode. The Reading mode auto detects the ambient light and adjusts the screen colour temperature and calibration optimised for reading texts easily. While this is what the app description says, in reality the mode simply desaturates the screen and makes everything appear in grey scale colours. Not only can you set applications, firing which will trigger the Reading mode, but can also manually turn it on. Rest of the features remain the same including the widget windows, app drawer, OnePlus Shelf and the Settings page.
Like is the case with the previous OnePlus handsets, the fifth iteration of the one plus smartphone too comes with dual-SIM card support (Nano SIM) and misses out on the external storage option. The 6GB RAM variant comes with 64GB inbuilt storage and the 8GB RAM version comes with 128GB inbuilt storage. The 128GB version will spare you with roughly 111GB for apps and other media content.It is a fact that the OnePlus 5 has retained the megapixel count of its primary and front-facing camera (16MP). But the difference lies in the quality of image captured as the Sony sensors used this time are newer and better. The new 20MP telephoto zoom lens naturally aims to shoot subjects from long range however, you won't be able to capture clear images. Shots captured in full zoom delivered way more noise than what we expectedThe front-facing camera's image quality has been improved as it delivers slightly more sharp and saturated images.Dash Charging technology. With Dash Charging tech, the OnePlus 5 in our tests charged from 1% to 40% (average) within 20 minutes (on regular use), which is way quicker than any other fast charging smartphone technology out there.The connectivity options largely remains the same with some of them upgraded. It supports GPS, dual band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and added support for more network bands. Verdict OnePlus 5 surely pushes the benchmarks of an upper-mid range smartphone a notch up. It has all the latest specifications under the hood. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 8GB RAM and dual rear camera lives up to the company's 'Never Settle' tagline and could be a money spinner for the Chinese upstart.
