  • OnePlus has, once again, crafted an excellent device that's packing in tons of value, and is likely a better buy than those more expensive flagships out there. Retailing for under $500 and still packing in more RAM, more internal storage and the same mobi...

  • The OnePlus 5 is a very, very good phone for a very, very good price.Interestingly enough, it is also a victim of its own high aspirations to compete with the very best out there. It lacks just a bit to fully match them: it does not have the wow-inducing...

  • Abstract:  Sleek is the first word that comes to our mind when we take the OnePlus 5 in our hands. That's not a new thing since the OnePlus 3T was a super slim device as well. But the OP5 takes things a bit further by slicing down the thickness to 7.3mm. To improve...

  • Abstract:  Both the OnePlus 5 and iPhone 7 Plus feature 5.5-inch screens, but they house them in different ways.At 6.07 x 2.91 x 0.28 inches, the OnePlus 5 is more compact than the 6.23 x 3.07 x 0.29-inch iPhone 7 Plus. OnePlus is making a point of how thin its new...
