OnePlus 5 Specification

OnePlus 5 is a thin sleek smartphone, but one that will give you a great sense of confidence every time you grip it. This OnePlus phone too sports the unique notifications button. On the rear is the one big noticeable difference from other phones, the dual camera. The dual camera does not result in a significant bump and it a phone that is just 7.25 mm thick, that is quite an achievement. The fingerprint scanner is up front. Though the phone has a USB-C port, OnePlus has retained that 3.5mm jack for earphones. However, this means, the phone has a single set of grilles for its speaker.

OnePlus 5 does not has a 2k or 4k display as was initially speculated. Many think this is a natural progression for flagships, but the fact is that such a high-resolution display is not yet a technological necessity. This means at least for a year more, companies are going to steer clear of this and pass on the cost benefit to the consumer instead. The OnePlus has a Full HD display that is sharp and bright enough to take care of all consumer needs at least for a couple of years more.
