OnePlus 5, after months of leaks and teasers, was finally launched on Tuesday. The smartphone's biggest highlights are its dual rear camera setup, its slimness, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, as well as improved battery life and Dash Charge.
Let's start with the dual rear camera setup. The OnePlus 5 is claimed to sport what OnePlus calls the "highest resolution dual-camera system on a smartphone today". This is made up of a 16-megapixel main camera (Sony IMX398 sensor, 1.12-micron pixels) with an f/1.7 aperture, said to capture 34 percent more light than the OnePlus 3T (which had an aperture of f/2.0), coupled with a 20-megapixel telephoto camera (Sony IMX350 sensor, 1-micron pixels) with an f/2.6 aperture.
Let's now get to the design aspect of the OnePlus 5. The smartphone is built out of anodised aluminium and does indeed look like the iPhone 7 Plus, with the primary difference being the shape of the Home Button. OnePlus has even mimicked the antenna lines of the iPhone 7 Plus. The company is boasting of the slimness of the OnePlus 5, calling it the "slimmest OnePlus flagship ever" at 7.25mm.
