OnePlus 5

Review

Summary. Advantages and disadvantages

And so – can OnePlus 5 be called a “flagship killer”? In some aspects yes. It is an extremely efficient and a solid construction. Here it presents the flagship level.

However it stands from other models with photographic capabilities, display resolution or the lack of waterproofness. It can easily fight with cheaper flagships, with a high chance of winning – however – it will not threaten top models of Samsung or HTC. It will not threaten them, until we will look at its price.

The base model with 6+64GB of memory costs 499 euro, while the top version that I had the pleasure of reviewing – costs 559 euro. And with these prices OnePlus 5 simply “rocks”.

For such prices it is difficult to find a model that could compete with them. And so, this might not be a “flagship killer”, but it is definitely one of the most affordable ones. Even if it has a few flaws…
