History

edit

The Vergeannounced in May 2017 that the successor to the OnePlus 3 would be known as the OnePlus 5. While OnePlus did not officially state why the number four was skipped, it was speculated that it was due to the number four being considered unlucky (tetraphobia) in China.[4] According toIndia Today,the "4" was skipped because OnePlus 2 was not very successful and now OnePlus considers even numbers unlucky.[5]

OnePlusconfirmed that the handset would feature aSnapdragon835 processor prior to launch.[6]OnePlus also noted its work with the image processing firmDxOto improve the camera on the device.[7]

Critical reception

edit

The majority of the initial reviews of the phone were positive.Engadgetpraised the phone's specifications in its price bracket.[22]The Vergeconcurred and noted its departure from previous OnePlus phone designs, but pointed out design similarities with theiPhone 7 Plus.[10]Wirednoted that despite the phone's camera specifications, the photo quality was mediocre; however, it commended the smoothness and battery life of the device.[23]

XDA Developersnoted that the phone was locking the CPU and GPU at their maximum clock speeds while in certain games and benchmarks in order to inflate their benchmark scores, resulting in the phone reaching external temperatures as high as 50 °C.[24]OnePlus co-founder,Carl Pei,defended the actions by saying that users "want to see the full potential of their device without interference from tampering" and that "Every OEM has proprietary performance profiles for their devices".[25]

Users noted that the handset had a "jelly scrolling effect" due to an inverted display.[26][27][28]OnePlus noted that this was not a defect.[29]

Some phones were known to reboot when dialing 911, preventing users from calling emergency services.[30]OnePlus quickly issued an update (OxygenOS 4.5.6)[31]to fix this issue,[32]and claimed that it happened as a result of not using the stock dialing app.[33]OnePlus later said that the problem was "related to a modem memory usage issue", and that it was only a "random occurrence" for some users on VoLTE networks.[34]Some users, after updating the phone from Android 9 to Android 10, experience a failure of the fingerprint sensor. OnePlus said this will be addressed in an upcoming patch.
