Another cheap BEAST came from One plus factory. I think model is called 6 because One plus 5 is 6 but don't take that information too seriously :D

Design:
On the first look in my opinion Oneplus 5 looks like an old Iphone with Samsung home botton. On the front side we can see that screen to body ratio is pretty bad considering that newer generation on smartphones are trying to create phones with the less possible gap space. If you take a look on the bottom of the phone you can see that Oneplus 5 still got 3.5mm audio jack which lot of newer phones have removed. Personally I like that oneplus 5 has 3.5 jack specially I like position of it because I think that is very practical. You can plug in headphones and put phone in jeans on "natural way". Personaly I always put phone in pocket on that way that screen is not directly endangered by external influences so screen is faced on thigh.
I don't think that speaker position is practical because right handed people may block speaker with little finger while using it.
On the left side Oneplus 5 has volume bottons and "do not disturb" slider. Like I said lot of similarities with Iphone.
On the right side it has power botton.
But on the top side we can find...... hmm ... nothing!
Screen
As I said I don't like screen on body ratio because of it phone looks "retro" .
Oneplus 5 comes with 5.5" AMOLED screen.
With the resolution full HD 1080p, screen has 401ppi.
Of course screen has Gorilla glass 5 protection.
Performance
Oneplus 5 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (Octa-core, 10nm, up to 2.45GHz) which is enough powerful to run any game or app on market fluently. This processor doesn't know what lag means. Phone also has Adreno 540 graphic processor and 6/8GB of RAM depending on model. Also there is 2 versions of storage 64/128GB.
Cameras
This model came with not only 1, not only 2 but 3 cameras haha
On a front we can find "selfie" camera with Sony IMX 371 sensor and 16 MP and aperture f/2.0.
But on the back we can find one wide angle camera + one telephoto camera with dual flash.
Wide angle camera specs:
- Sensor: Sony IMX 398
- Megapixels: 16
- Aperture: f/1.7
Telephoto camera specs:
- Sensor: Sony IMX 350
- Megapixels: 20
- Aperture: f/2.6
They can capture videos in these options:
- 4K resolution video at 30fps
- 1080P resolution video at 60fps
- Slow Motion: 720p videos at 120fps
Here you can see two difference in lenses
| Telephoto | Wide angle |
Here you can see few camera shots:
Battery
Battery on Oneplus 5 has 3300 mAh. If you take in consider that phone has amoled screen with 400ppi I don't think that battery would drain fast. It should hold out more than 4 hours screen on time without activating any battery saving. It comes with "Dash charge" which should charge phone fastest on the market at the moment with 5V and 4A.
