No 1440p display is great for me I don't care about VR. With 1080p display you get more battery, slightly less heat, and can put the phone costs down bit more too.
They are most probably making profit with the 128gb model. At $479 they are offering pretty good stuff. Don't know why but people are expecting everything at a low price. It's their choice if they want to spend more to get more with other devices but Oneplus also has to grow, they can't just give every phone with almost everything at the same 299-349$ price every year.
Bharat Mahajan if people are smart they could buy Samsung s7 edge, HTC 10 or LG g6 for the same or lesser price rather than buying this Chinese clone. never settle was their mantra which is ultimately faded away ,just my opinion
dkimmortal G6 is not better, it's the bestest option. Thing is people are not thinking smartly n they are just getting carried away by the hype that one plus n most of the biased OP reviewers have created.
Great review! I like that you even included photo comparisons in this video. Many have pointed out that the obvious shortcomings, but we do have to see and understand that many phones also lack many of the options that SG8 has. So I guess it's more of a thing of preference. You have gained a new subscriber.
The Bluetooth 5.0 dual speaker pairing feature doesn't work yet because Android 7.x doesn't support it. The S8 can do it because Samsung built their own software feature for it probably so people wouldn't get confused as to why the main headlining feature of 5.0 doesn't work yet on their new compatible phone.
Didn't even notice your transition issue you mentioned on Twitter 😁 don't sweat it man, I'm a perfectionist like you but sometimes others see different to what you do 😉 great video, enjoyed it 👌👌
OMG Danny Winget. There are so many reviews out there for the OnePlus 5, but yours kept it simple and on point. You have pretty much sold me on the OnePlus 5. The only thing is, I wonder how support is. I don't expect support like HTC or Samsung, but what can I expect? I know that OnePlus partners with a company that has a 2-year damage coverage for $139. P.S. I've never had a phone long enough for there to be a problem (except for a slide-out phone that fell apart). My problem usually happens when I use the GPS on my older phones, before too long, the battery dies or it locks up using more apps. Thoughts?
Apple Apple man y'all really love spreading the hate, you can't honestly care that much about the phone looking alike as if one plus didn't know that before selling it
Great review & dope shirt! I'd personally like to have OIS than a dual camera set up. After giving in and purchasing a iPhone 6s plus, made me realize how much more I love my 3t lol.
Danny the Bluetooth 5.0 implementation for android isn't ready yet. If you watched Gary's explanation, you would know why! For some reasons, Samsung had tricks to sorta work it out its own!
Hey I loved your review,you actually highlighted the things that a buyer needs to know, really appreciated,love from India, everything cannot be expected keeping the price low.
designwise I would say they combined the oppo r 11/iPhone and an old HTC one s. the way the edges are designed remind me of that old mid range smartphone. I loved it. :D
Hey, Thank for the review :) Can the device connect to an HD display? How about a 4K one? How about wirelessly somehow? (I've heard a term called DLNA tossed around...?)
Awesome shirt! Dilla. Great review as usual. I personally think the 3t has a better design. Oneplus 5 is a let down. I mean you can't deny the 7+ aesthetic. I rather spend $450 on a Sony xz. Keep the content coming bro.
why are people surprised that the oneplus 5 and oppo r11 have similar designs when they're sister companies? that's also how oneplus got to use the IMX398, which sony made exclusively for oppo.
I get about 3.5 hours of SOT with my Pixel and the brightness is usually set to 20% or below, the OnePlus 5 is making me question reality right now with that SOT.
Same. I have the Nexus 6P and the SOC on it is atrocious and it overheats like a bitch. So I bought the OnePlus 5... Problems are gone. Even faster charging, yet stays cool and battery stays alive even with max screen brightness outdoors unlike Nexus which you can barely see outside in direct sun.
I like your review and I trust it. I think a lot of reviewers are being harsh with the phone and saying it has an ok camera but i think it has an excellent camera. Considered, it only comes second after the pixel and iPhone this is saying a lot.
It's nice but there's a few things I wished it had that it didn't. I think I'm going to go ahead and wait for that Pixel 2. The XZ premium is looking pretty good too. It's been mopping the floor with everything in speed tests. Total beast.
I want the extra ram, increases the longevity of your phone by a long shot, so annoying the major manufacturers aren't adapting and only ended up putting 4gb in their "flagship" devices...
Without considering money at all, should I get an s8 or oneplus5 ? Considering all the shit in s8 like the bixby button, and the fingerprint sensor right next to the camera. And oneplus5 is also a near stock android experience. Thanks a lot, my heads gonna blow from the confusion, would like a bit of opinions before I buy either of them. Thanks :D
No surprise it looks like the Oppo R11. If you didn't know already, OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo are owned by the same Chinese company. So, of course they'll be sharing designs and parts.
I just feel what made OnePlus phones special, was that they delivered a great overall experience for a low price. Now that they are entering a higher price range, they are losing what differentiates them from the rest of the market. However, the OnePlus 5 is still solid, just not exceptional.
the camera killed it for me, everything seems great but I use my camera frequent enough to the point that it matters. Hopefully the Pixel 2 will offer the same performance + an amazing camera
+Daniel Duarte nah it's a Lav mic in a noisy environment. Audio is an issue for me lately but I am in the process of setting up so it will be fixed soon.
dkimmortal Ironically if you switch down to 1080p.. it's the smoothest video to date. Looks like it's on a tripod. I guess just never use 4k video lol. Such a shame.
Danny Winger... Wow... You wrote back. Just a big thanks for what I see as a very well balanced review. You're style to me is very reminiscent to MKHB and your balance of facts and opinions is very appreciated. Never did you miss the key points or what they compare to in the real world and never did you just throw in unnecessary biased opinions. Cheers from Australia.... Come visit some day please
I wonder why no reviewer for even once talk about after sale disadvantage from one plus or any chinese phone company. It may not matter for some but does for most especially who had atleast one issue with their Chinese phone and experienced horrific service. I don't agree oneplus is money saver phone as things can go pretty easily if there is issue within warranty period. Apple and google lead on good after sale service
No dual audio because Android Nougat doesn't support bluetooth 5.0. Samsung implemented dual audio because they're simply using "normal" bluetooth instead of bluetooth LE low energy.
it is a great phone but honestly nearly noone actually needs such a beast of a smartphone. I owned the One Plus One but the Microphone broke so I had to buy a different phone and a friend of mine showed me his Xiaomi Phone and honestly they are amazing. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 costs 150€ and performance wise has all that you need. The only downside is the camera imo. If the camera is very Important to you you will have to spend more. just my two cents on the topic :)
sound like a great phone, my nexus 6p is still going strong, if I was in the market for a new phone this would be my choice! That starting price is great! I dont understand paying 700 or more for a phone. I dont need waterproof or wireless charging and it still has a great looking display. Thanks for the vid! I will keep OnePlus on my to get list in the future
+digitalpins yeah the 6P is great if you haven't had any long terms issues. Stock Android is still the way to go. The OnePlus software is so close and I hope they improve updates to squash the negative backlash they have had on supporting past devices. OP5 is super solid for under $500
yeah I'd rather have that Snapdragon 825 6 or 8 gb ram, clean fast OS, dash charging, and have some people think I have a knock off than spending 300 dollars more.
the double device playback via bluetooth is not because of bluetooth 5, it's a feature of the galaxy s8 only. (you don't follow android authority do you? ;) )
No 1440p display is great for me I don't care about VR. With 1080p display you get more battery, slightly less heat, and can put the phone costs down bit more too.
Gaybe Newell
Well if you're coming from a phone with 1440p, life gets very hard without it.
Jaggy poo actually not,I switched to a 1+ 3t from a lg g3. I actually like the amoled on the oneplus 3t better.
Tavi Ghita
Well that's pretty old tech. I'm taking about switching from a s6, s7, or LG G5.
Jaggy poo switching from S6 to OP5 is downgrade.
Βασίλης Μπακάλης good luck getting more than 3.5 hrs of screen on time with your s6 buddy
🔥🔥🔥 OnePlus 5 is definitely a dope phone. Awesome video bro!
0:07 - Please don't throw the S8 like that. I'll take it.
They are most probably making profit with the 128gb model. At $479 they are offering pretty good stuff. Don't know why but people are expecting everything at a low price. It's their choice if they want to spend more to get more with other devices but Oneplus also has to grow, they can't just give every phone with almost everything at the same 299-349$ price every year.
In my country op5 64/6 gb variant is almost $320 cheaper than 64/4gb S8
Bharat Mahajan if people are smart they could buy Samsung s7 edge, HTC 10 or LG g6 for the same or lesser price rather than buying this Chinese clone. never settle was their mantra which is ultimately faded away ,just my opinion
Kunal Tiku HTC 10'would have been great but no volte, g6 at 35k INR right now is very much a Better option in my book
dkimmortal G6 is not better, it's the bestest option. Thing is people are not thinking smartly n they are just getting carried away by the hype that one plus n most of the biased OP reviewers have created.
Bharat Mahajan exactly... Smh

Great footage, Danny. And great review! :)
My OnePlus5 is on the way! Can't wait! I don't care what people think, this phone is a BEAST!
I would trade the 8GB RAM for IP68 or OIS.
Do you go swimming with your phone while shooting a video in 4K lol
Didn't even notice your transition issue you mentioned on Twitter 😁 don't sweat it man, I'm a perfectionist like you but sometimes others see different to what you do 😉 great video, enjoyed it 👌👌
+Dave West yeah I am just that critical. It's towards the end on the camera stuff. Thanks for watching!
Danny Winget Watched the video three times and tried real hard to spot it. Couldn't spot it. You crushed it with this video 👌👌
OMG Danny Winget. There are so many reviews out there for the OnePlus 5, but yours kept it simple and on point. You have pretty much sold me on the OnePlus 5.

Hey Danny you made over 300k subs, Awesome brother, inspiring.
"I don't want people to think I'm using a cane iPhone 7" ... you buy a phone that makes YOU happy...not someone else
Watching on my oneplus 5 😀
Ben Watkins How does the fake iPhone feel?
Apple Apple man y'all really love spreading the hate, you can't honestly care that much about the phone looking alike as if one plus didn't know that before selling it
it only feels in my wallet
Ben Watkins please confirm me something. Do you notice the touch latency on your device or is responsive?
CrouTon no it feels fine
Great review & dope shirt! I'd personally like to have OIS than a dual camera set up. After giving in and purchasing a iPhone 6s plus, made me realize how much more I love my 3t lol.
Danny the Bluetooth 5.0 implementation for android isn't ready yet. If you watched Gary's explanation, you would know why! For some reasons, Samsung had tricks to sorta work it out its own!
I just got the oneplus 3T about 3 months ago..I don't think this is enough of a upgrade to switch just yet. Might wait until the next one!
Hey I loved your review,you actually highlighted the things that a buyer needs to know, really appreciated,love from India, everything cannot be expected keeping the price low.
Thanks for the good video Danny.
Great video as usual homie, looks like a very cool phone
+Larry Dickerson thanks Larry!
would you be able to link the case you had on for this video?
designwise I would say they combined the oppo r 11/iPhone and an old HTC one s. the way the edges are designed remind me of that old mid range smartphone. I loved it. :D
Hey, Thank for the review :)
Can the device connect to an HD display?
How about a 4K one?
How about wirelessly somehow? (I've heard a term called DLNA tossed around...?)
I don't like the fact that there is no expandable memory for a lot of the new smart phones coming out now. Why isn't that a bigger issue for others?
Awesome shirt! Dilla. Great review as usual. I personally think the 3t has a better design. Oneplus 5 is a let down. I mean you can't deny the 7+ aesthetic. I rather spend $450 on a Sony xz. Keep the content coming bro.
why are people surprised that the oneplus 5 and oppo r11 have similar designs when they're sister companies? that's also how oneplus got to use the IMX398, which sony made exclusively for oppo.
bluetooth BLE 5.0 was never meant for an audio playback or even large file transfer instead a bluetooth classic 3.0 does
I get about 3.5 hours of SOT with my Pixel and the brightness is usually set to 20% or below, the OnePlus 5 is making me question reality right now with that SOT.
Same. I have the Nexus 6P and the SOC on it is atrocious and it overheats like a bitch.
So I bought the OnePlus 5... Problems are gone. Even faster charging, yet stays cool and battery stays alive even with max screen brightness outdoors unlike Nexus which you can barely see outside in direct sun.
So battery life has been good? How's the camera compared to the 6p?
myNEONCITY yes it has been amazingly good. I can watch TH-cam on the OnePlus and just lose 1-2% while on the Nexus oh Lord that shit would just drain.
myNEONCITY I can get 5 hours at work. What the heck do you do
Generic Mike that's the sd810. any phone running that is crap.
Loved this review. Excellent work.
+Victor Davies thank you! Appreciate the comment.
I like your review and I trust it.
I think a lot of reviewers are being harsh with the phone and saying it has an ok camera but i think it has an excellent camera.
Considered, it only comes second after the pixel and iPhone this is saying a lot.
Playing audio to 2 devices at once isn't a feature of bluetooth 5.0, it is a Samsung specific thing. MKBHD was wrong
nice review Danny. nice display & software . ... 1+5 rock but Danny rock more!
It's nice but there's a few things I wished it had that it didn't. I think I'm going to go ahead and wait for that Pixel 2. The XZ premium is looking pretty good too. It's been mopping the floor with everything in speed tests. Total beast.
I agree, that they should still have added Quad HD and at least some type of water resistance. They better fix that on the next one.
I want the extra ram, increases the longevity of your phone by a long shot, so annoying the major manufacturers aren't adapting and only ended up putting 4gb in their "flagship" devices...
At 0:43 I thought you broke the display. But thank God you didn't.
Also spotted *Mrwhosetheboss's* video at 1:38, another one of my favourite TH-camr.
Hi Danny, great video...!!! can you please do comparison video with htc U11?
One of the best review. Keep it up.
I'm wondering if you could compare the OnePlus 5 to the Htc U11 in the future of their cameras.
That reading mode kills me,it's something so unique and the performance of this phone is great
Thanks Danny...just got mine and so far so good. First time OnePlus device....
is there any major cons with it exept for (maybe) not a quad hd display and no water resistance?
Wait how did you get Project Fi working on this phone? Don't you need a Pixel/Nexus for the dynamic carrier switching or whatever?
+Nick Hardwick nope. Project Fi even works on iPhones.
Great Vid Danny!
Really great review, nice!
Without considering money at all, should I get an s8 or oneplus5 ? Considering all the shit in s8 like the bixby button, and the fingerprint sensor right next to the camera. And oneplus5 is also a near stock android experience. Thanks a lot, my heads gonna blow from the confusion, would like a bit of opinions before I buy either of them. Thanks :D
Whats the name of the game which he's playing at 4:05??
No surprise it looks like the Oppo R11. If you didn't know already, OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo are owned by the same Chinese company. So, of course they'll be sharing designs and parts.
Danny I like your t-shirt. Where did you buy it?
I just feel what made OnePlus phones special, was that they delivered a great overall experience for a low price. Now that they are entering a higher price range, they are losing what differentiates them from the rest of the market. However, the OnePlus 5 is still solid, just not exceptional.
the camera killed it for me, everything seems great but I use my camera frequent enough to the point that it matters. Hopefully the Pixel 2 will offer the same performance + an amazing camera
Camera showdown! One+ 5 vs LG V10 and/or V20
Yoooo what you know about J Black and Battle Rap? Nice 😎👍
The 3.5mm audio jack sound output is way better than the iPhone 7's! Definitely :P
where can I get your full cover case? thanks
Anybody know name of the game he was playing at 4:11 ?
Sn1z If you play games on yo phone you lame as hell.
Sn1z it's called "Leo's fortune"
the game at 4:05 is "LEOs FORTUNE".. but it's not free :)
does still photography use eis or is just for videos?
5.06 actually optical zoom is 1.6x not 2x other.4x is digital zoom
Danny did the OP5 give you lags and latencies when accessing apps, playing games, freesing or even sudden re-start?
+carlos lorenzo no lags but yes on the restarts happened until this last software update. Fixed it all for me.
thanks danny for quick reply. have a good day!
Can also let us tht is op5 camera gives better photos/videos as compared to op 3t or is it same, or a downgrade?
0:47 what case is that?
Samsung S8 can be found for 550€ on Amazon... that's my main issue with the One plus 5. it's too expensive. I'll keep my Nexus 5 for another year.
I hope they make a OnePlus 5t version of the phone where they fix they missing stuff.
Nice video! But did something happen with your mic? Sounds weird.
+Daniel Duarte nah it's a Lav mic in a noisy environment. Audio is an issue for me lately but I am in the process of setting up so it will be fixed soon.
amazing video Danny! keep it up 🤘
It will be cool to compare Oneplus 5 6GB with the 8GB version
A normal humans mild shake especially in indoor lighting conditions probably gonna ruin a lot of photos.
yepp, no OIS - sucks.
dkimmortal Ironically if you switch down to 1080p.. it's the smoothest video to date. Looks like it's on a tripod. I guess just never use 4k video lol. Such a shame.
I honestly hope that OP will update the EIS to support 4k video..
I don't know ounce you use a 2k phone it's hard to go back to 1080p or even the 750p on iPhone and I have an iPhone too.
where did he buy the cases?
Excellent review...... I'm now subscribing..!
+Simon welcome! Thank you.
Danny Winger... Wow... You wrote back. Just a big thanks for what I see as a very well balanced review. You're style to me is very reminiscent to MKHB and your balance of facts and opinions is very appreciated. Never did you miss the key points or what they compare to in the real world and never did you just throw in unnecessary biased opinions. Cheers from Australia.... Come visit some day please
Claudiu Gardelli....so wisely put...for a three year old !!!
Please do a P10 Plus vs OP5
what case is that? 0:46
Huawei Mate 9, best phone I've ever used. MATE 10 coming out in Oct.
hey
I really like the phones software and the inclusion of type c and a headphone jack
1080p for the money is just a deal-breaker for me personally
Hello Nice review thank you. can you share with camera do you use for make this video? thank you very much
+Felix Ariel Gallardo Rocha this is a Mixture of Sony FS5 footage with Panasonic GH5.
is it worth upgrading from nexus 6?
I wonder why no reviewer for even once talk about after sale disadvantage from one plus or any chinese phone company. It may not matter for some but does for most especially who had atleast one issue with their Chinese phone and experienced horrific service. I don't agree oneplus is money saver phone as things can go pretty easily if there is issue within warranty period. Apple and google lead on good after sale service
Is the homebutton touchscreen?
dope dilla shirt my dude
No dual audio because Android Nougat doesn't support bluetooth 5.0. Samsung implemented dual audio because they're simply using "normal" bluetooth instead of bluetooth LE low energy.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 costs 150€ and performance wise has all that you need. The only downside is the camera imo. If the camera is very Important to you you will have to spend more.
just my two cents on the topic :)
What's the name of the full body case
sound like a great phone, my nexus 6p is still going strong, if I was in the market for a new phone this would be my choice! That starting price is great! I dont understand paying 700 or more for a phone. I dont need waterproof or wireless charging and it still has a great looking display. Thanks for the vid! I will keep OnePlus on my to get list in the future
+digitalpins yeah the 6P is great if you haven't had any long terms issues. Stock Android is still the way to go. The OnePlus software is so close and I hope they improve updates to squash the negative backlash they have had on supporting past devices. OP5 is super solid for under $500
Can u tell, which model of op5 will consume less battery.... 64gb or 128gb?
Definitely one of the quickest drop tests
I really want this phone
So that on street people will think you are stupid cuz they think u have a IPhone 7 plus knock off.
Onni Kuisma It's not about what others think, moron.
yeah I'd rather have that Snapdragon 825 6 or 8 gb ram, clean fast OS, dash charging, and have some people think I have a knock off than spending 300 dollars more.
nice shot you had there. im impressed 👍
compare it with huawei honor 8 pro, honor 9 and xiaomi mi6. please!!!
IDK why people never complain about the iphone not having a 1440p display, but some are mad at the Oneplus 5 not having one.
After so long, none of Oneplus One predecessor has managed to achieve its groundbreaking status. Perhaps the 3 comes close.
What game was that ? 4:05
Is really hope they Will fix the dual speaker thing, why else would you want bluetooth 5.0...
so which should i get op3t or op5???
but would you upgrade if you have a 3T?
Irfan Oomer no not at all
so in the end did you mean that s8 and iPhone 7 has better camera? please reply. . .
+Rajkumari Yadav Yes the S8 and iPhone 7 have a better camera overall.
Danny Winget oh ok but just in tha low light conditions... right? everything else is great.
the double device playback via bluetooth is not because of bluetooth 5, it's a feature of the galaxy s8 only. (you don't follow android authority do you? ;) )
+Gianmarco I thought it was a feature and "capability" of Bluetooth 5.0. Does this mean Bluetooth 4.1 Samsung phones can have dual audio?
tell me about screen on time and battery performance
+Dr. Jigar Devmurari did you watch the video? It's in there lol
Very pleasant and pro review.
Whats the case at 0:47? I can't find it!
+racerx3065 it's the official OnePlus case. The carbon fiber looking one on the left.
thanks man! Great review!
