OnePlus today in an Online event officially unveiled its next flagship Killer , the OnePlus 5 bringing to an end Months of Speculations and rumors .

Like it was earlier Speculated , the OnePlus 5 shares a close resemblance to Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, especially in the primary “Midnight Black” model. Despite the strong resemblance , there are obvious and minor features that sets them apart –  some of which includes the flat edge on all side and a more curved back, but in all , the Oneplus 5 is not at all as  distinctive as previous generation of Oneplus .

On the display front , the Oneplus 5 flaunts a 5.5-inch 1080p Optic AMOLED display with DCI-P3 color coverage  as well as  Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection .

To ensure a smooth user experience , Oneplus has definitely done a lot , the new Oneplus 5 features the very latest Chipset from Qualcom – the  Snapdragon 835 processor with Adreno 540 GPU  , 8GB of RAM,  and a maximum of  128GB of UFS 2.1 storage with no option for expansion .

As far as battery life is concerned, the OnePlus 5  comes fitted with a 3,300 mAh battery which Oneplus claims can last up 20% longer than the OnePlus 3T. The Phone incorporates   the  Dash Charge which can supposedly give the phone sufficient power to take it through the day in just 30 mins of charging .

The  selling point of the Oneplus 5 is definitely the Camera setup . For selfies and video calls ,the Oneplus 5 carries  a 16MP shooter with a “screen flash” option for low light scenarios and HDR , while the primary camera setup is a dual-camera s set up made of a 16MP main, full-color sensor and a secondary 20MP monochrome sensor.
