The new OnePlus 5 appears on June 27th. The smartphone will cost 499 euros and includes an improved camera. The smartphone hasan aluminum frame and is fitted with a 5.5-inch Full HD screen slash resolution.
The phone (why are we still calling these small pocket mini computers phones btw?) will get a dual camera, one wide lens and a 'telephoto lens' for zoom photos. These cameras shoot photos in resolutions of 16 and 20 megapixels respectively. When zooming in the camera app, the software automatically switches from one to the other lens. According OnePlus is also improved autofocus speed and stabilization.The selfiecamera of OnePlus 5 has a 16-megapixel resolution and can now shoot HDR images with backlighting.
OnePlus 5 uses s Snapdragon 835, similar as the Galaxy Samsung S8 series has. Specs by color: the gray model gets 6 GB of memory and 64GB of storage space, while a black embodiment has 8 GB of memory, and 128 GB of storage, with that memory you match a modern laptop.

Don't bow down to the American Aluminum - that's as bad as using Feet & Inches and Pounds & Ounces
Aluminum and aluminium are two names for element 13 on the periodic table. In both cases, the element symbol is Al, although Americans and Canadians spell and pronounce the name aluminum, while the British (and most of the rest of the world) use the spelling and pronunciation of aluminium.
Maybe your keyboard is set to American English

So when the 3 and 3T came out, they were again using the highest-end parts and cost around 340 euro (if I'm not mistaken), so this one is again using the highest-end parts but instead of 340 euro it costs 500. Ok So the 1+6 will probably cost as much as an S9, so let's hope 1+5 sells well before then disappear off the face of the market completely.

Very dissapointing phone.
- First OP is cheating benchmarks (it is not juat a "myth" or a lie), just chech XDA dev article on this (not the old one about 3\3T, but very recent - about 5).
- 50C temparature during some benchmarking. Did OP hear about Note 7?
- Lying with camera specs. There's no 2x lossless zoom, it is 1.6x (according to OP, but 1.5x according to EXIF) optical zoom and the rest is digital.
Besides picture quality is not top-notch.
- Screen is the same (very, very same) as on 3T.
QHD is pointless, but going with SD835 and using old FullHD screen... stupid.
- No microSD card slot
- Looks 99% as an iPhone
And to sum it up - ridiculous price of 500 Euro!
OP was mostly attractive because it provided very good hardware at reasonable price. 500 Euro is not a reasonable for this phone.

That price for a 1080p screen, no thanks.

As a user of the OnePlus 3 and now owner of the OnePlus 3T, I have to say that OnePlus knows how to make a super phone for a very attractive price.
The OP5 from my followings is a step better than the 3T in 3 main areas: CPU is octocore snapdragon 835 vs the quadcore 820 in the 3T, the OP5 features a dual camera, and the 128GB version features 8gb ram rather than 6 on the 3T.
Personally, these changes are nice but beyond the CPU, there isn't a ton of reason to upgrade. That said, for a first foray into buying a OnePlus phone, for the price you get ALOT of phone for that $500 euro pricetag.
The main gripes I have read are no SD slot, No waterproofing, and a screen that could have afforded to be better for a "flagship". Although I can see the screen affording to be better, the waterproofing is merely a nice to have (maybe I'm lucky but I've never come even close to spilling on my phone or damaging it in any liquid) and if space would be a problem, just get the 128GB which is a ton of space for most anyone.
OnePlus also has an awesome community support on XDA with a ton of roms, kernels and application support to truly tune and customize the phone, and generally gets Android updates as quickly as devs can feature them. Using FreedomOS and Magisk w/ Franco Kernel, I can get up to 3 days standby and 7 hours SOT with my 3T.
Another mention is the dash charge.. I love the charger. I recharge up to 75% battery in as little as 20 minutes. Also love the build quality.. its a very durable handset.
Anyway, enough of my rambling
