  • While both the iPhone 8 Plus and the OnePlus 5 have their pros and cons, probably the biggest deciding factor for the regular user will be price of admission attached to either handset. Sure, you will have to pay a premium to get into the Apple club, but...

  • The OnePlus 5 is one of the best phones to get if value for money is what you're looking for. It was far from perfect at launch, but software updates have taken care of many of the wrinkles, and now, with a starting price below $500, it is a phone worth c...

  • Okay, so you're not going to go 2 days away from the charger with the OnePlus 5. Get that out of your head right now. But the phone should be more than capable of taking you through most of the day with a little battery left before bedtime.Of course, this...
