"Flagship Killer"
Smartphones under the OnePlus brand (owned by the Chinese company BBK) are called “flagship killers” due to the best ratio of price and filling on the market. This flattering metaphor is one hundred percent justified in relation to the new OnePlus 5. Even in the lower configuration, it has 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory, and in the older one — 8 and 128 GB, respectively. Whether a modern smartphone really needs so much RAM can be argued for a long time, but as they say, “show-offs” are more expensive than money.
Market competition
At the same time, the OnePlus 5 costs about the same as the flagship Huawei P10 and LG G6 with, at least on paper, worse specs, and cheaper than the HTC U11 and Samsung Galaxy S8. After the suspension of work on Cyanogen OS, the OnePlus smartphone operating system became OxygenOS — an almost “clean” version of Android without a heavy graphical shell with only minimal software additions.
Save on matches
The processor in OnePlus 5 is equipped with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 ARM big.LITTLE architecture: four energy-efficient Cortex-A53 cores and the same number of high-performance Kryo 280 cores (6.35 DMIPS / MHz). Three cameras: main rear Sony IMX398 (16 MPix, 1/2.8", f/1.7), secondary rear with double zoom Sony IMX350 (20 MPix, 1/2.8", f/2.6) and frontal Sony IMX371 (16 MPix, f /2.0). There is fast wired charging, but OnePlus 5 does not have wireless charging, let alone dust and water protection, and, perhaps, this is the only thing it is inferior to the flagships of more widely known brands.
