  • This is another tricky comparison to make a call on. However, we feel the OnePlus 5 edges it by offering a sleek design and high-end specs for a much cheaper price. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium might have a 4K HDR screen, 960fps slow mo and waterproofing bu...

  • Of course, we'll reserve full judgement on which is the better smartphone until we've pitted them head-to-head in real life. However, in first impressions, the more-expensive OnePlus 5 edges it with its premium aluminium design, larger display and impress...

  • Top build quality, Extremely fast and fluid, Strong dual-camera
  • Priciest OnePlus yet, Not waterproof, Single easily obstructed speaker
  • “The OnePlus 5 is one of the strongest all-round Android smartphone packages available, with a price tag that's still significantly lower than its top tier rivals.”...

  • It's a close call but the OnePlus 5 just nips it for us by keeping up very well in a lot of areas - or even outpacing - while being £200 cheaper. That's not to say you'd be wrong for choosing the HTC U11 for features such as waterproofing, camera and audi...

  • Lengthy battery life, Blazingly fast performance, Beautiful new design
  • Rising cost
  • The OnePlus 5 bolsters the firm’s flagship-killing tradition, but raises the asking price. And it's now on sale...

  • Both the iPhone 7 and OnePlus 5 are great phones, but the latter has the edge on price as well as its bigger, higher-resolution screen. The base storage is also twice the iPhone's, it has dual rear cameras and better battery life. It's always hard to make...

  • There's no clear outright winner here - both are 9/10 phones. You have to decide whether to spend £200 on the LG G6 to get it's waterproof design, excellent screen and dual-camera features. This will be hard to justify for most people, especially consider...

  • Excellent value for money, Blazing performance, Long battery life
  • Slightly slippery chassis, HDR effect on the camera isn't fantastic
  • The OnePlus 5 has continued the company's streak of excellent devices at knock-down prices. If you want power and performance on par with Samsung's latest flagship without the eye-watering cost, the OnePlus 5 is the phone for you...

  • It's unsurprising that the much more expensive Galaxy S8 is overall the superior phone here with both top-notch design and specs. What's impressive though, is how well the OnePlus 5 competes at a much lower price point so you need to decide whether it's w...
