The OnePlus 5 is a top of the range smartphone, no doubt about it. It has a Snapdragon 835 processor with either 6GB or 8GB RAM and either 64GB or 128GB storage.
Unusually, the Slate Grey model has 6GB RAM with 64GB storage, and the Midnight Black has 8GB RAM with 128GB storage. If you want a particular set of specs, you won’ t have a choice of colour.
Here is the full OnePlus 5 spec sheet:
Wild re-release rumours of no headphone jack and red and purple versions turn out to be, thankfully perhaps, nonsense. Then again, OnePlus has said that it made over 100 physical prototypes, so some of the now incorrect leaks we saw may well have been legit production models.
As it turns out, the OnePlus 5 is a sleek, dark metallic 5.5in phone with more than a hint of its predecessor on the front panel. The back looks most like an iPhone 7 Plus, with the dual cameras and flash in a similar position.
The handset is slimmer than the OnePlus 3 and 3T and feels less angular. Some might be disappointed to see there is no white fronted colour option like the Soft Gold version of the OnePlus 3.
