ONEPLUS 5
The wait is over but is it worth it 500€? Here are the pros and cons I noticed during the launch:
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| Newer processor - Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 | Same screen resolution / PPI |
| Newer GPU - Adreno 540 | No stereo speaker |
| Better rear camera Dual 16 MP, f/1.7, EIS (gyro) + 20 MP, f/2.6, phase detection autofocus, 2x optical zoom | Smaller battery? 3300mAh (vs 3400mAh in the Oneplus 3T) |
| Better front camera 16 MP, f/2.0, EIS (gyro), 1.0 µm pixel size, 1080p, Auto HDR | Same display as the Oneplus 3T(fullhd) |
| 5g lighter than the previous Oneplus 3t | It's not water resistant |
| Better Network coverage | Still no storage expansion |
As a owner of a Oneplus 3T, I really don't see any reason to upgrade... My only issue with the op3T is the battery life. I'm a heavy user(reading mostly and watching youtube) and the fact that oneplus decided to go with a smaller factor instead of keeping the same size and increasing the battery only saddens me. On the other hand they upgraded their camera which is really great for those who are into photography(not my case). Every year the price of their phone increases with 50€ so the new Oneplus 5 is going to sell for 500€.
Is it worth the 500€?
Tell me what you think of the new OnePlus.
