The OnePlus 5 is a logical refinement of the young company's back catalogue. It marries solid design with excellent software in a package under £500. But a year ago, it did this all for a sliver over £300.The phone feels like the end of OnePlus phase one...
The OnePlus 5 is affordable and super fast, with an 18-hour battery. Its camera takes great portraits and low-light shots
It costs more than any previous model, its design isn't anything special and it doesn't have expandable storage
The OnePlus 5 is outstanding, especially for the price; no other phone gives you the same bang for the buck...

Subtle styling improvements make for a better overall package, As powerful as 2017 phones get, with great battery life to boot, Dual cameras take brilliant daylight pics
Not as big a bargain as last year, Screen sticks to 1080p, Not the best at night-time photography
By looking beyond a rock-bottom price, OnePlus has created a superb phone that feels more mature than its predecessors, with refinements, design tweaks and performance upgrades that let it rub shoulders with the big boys - while still coming in at least £...
Solid build, fast and fluid performance, vibrant display and the super-fast Dash Charge

great camera, supersmooth performance, plenty of storage, Dash Charge, good screen, dualsim, good battery life, Bluetooth 5
not water resistant, dated bezelheavy design, no expandable storage, 5.5in screen only FHD, no wireless charging

Excellent camera with pro features, fast performance, genuinely rapid charging
Just two colours in range (and both are black), home button can be fiddly at first
The OnePlus 5 is all about value, despite being £100 more than the OnePlus 3T. It builds on its predecessor, adding a dual camera and some proper options for taking pro-quality photos. Battery life is superb, Dash Charging will make iPhone users weep...
