The Oneplus one was a blockbuster, and so was the 3. The oneplus 5 is pretty good, but I don't see it matching what the Oneplus one was at it's time, which was a real flagship killer for half the price.

The pricing and performance of the OP5 is really good. But you can get better phones at more price, with high-res bezel-less displays, waterproofing, better cameras and so on....

Removing OIS was a stupid, stupid move.

"Removing OIS was a stupid, stupid move."

Or it was a cost-effective move.

Sorry, but most people would rather have an excellent single camera with OIS( as in S8) than a mediocre dual camera ala OP5.

The only thing to improve on the OP3 for them was camera. Everything else was good enough. They overhyped it with the DxOmark partnership along with teasers, then under-delivered with a mediocre camera.

Not to mention the screen jelly scrolling, which was again a downgrade from the OP3.
