The OnePlus 5 is the latest entry in the OnePlus smartphone series - that arrives to replace OnePlus 3T. The manufacturer skipped the generation four due to a Chinese superstition that the number is unlucky. The smartphone features 8GB of RAM, Snapdragon 835 processor (the most powerful of Qualcomm) and the dual rear camera in a system used by iPhone 7 Plus and Zenfone 3 Zoom. The price of the handset starts at $ 479.

In terms of design, there were no major changes. The company continued to wear the same look as the previous model. So we have an aluminum body with a thickness of 7.25 mm (slightly thinner than the OnePlus 3T). Even though the device is thin, the company did not give up the headphone jack. The side switch, which activates the silent mode, also remains present in the OnePlus 5. In addition, the phone has a biometric sensor on the front.
