Characteristics

Appearance

OnePlus 5 was introduced in mid-summer 2017, when the market is already present Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6, Xiaomi Mi MixAnd the Internet buzz about the upcoming frameless iPhone. However, the creators of "flagship killer" did not chase the fashion and remained faithful to the classic design with a conventional framework screen.

Front OnePlus 5 is similar to hundreds of other smartphones with the button "Home", behind - on the iPhone 7 Plus. Vivid details - this dual camera and switch to the "Do Not Disturb" mode on the left side. In other words, in OnePlus 5 looks nothing special.

Camera

The Chinese were not the Chinese, if after the emergence of a dual-chamber iPhone 7 Plus continued to install only one camera in its flagship. But if Huawei is moving towards expanding the dynamic range, the OnePlus prefer a two-time zoom. It is a dual camera company presents as the main feature of the smartphone.

Photomodule first - a 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 with a fairly high-aperture optics f / 1.7 and a contrast autofocus. The second - 20 megapixel Sony IMX350 optics with f / 2.6 autofocus and phase. He is responsible for Tele.

Interestingly, the focal length of both cameras is the same: 24 mm. So twofold increase is achieved by tricky digital algorithms and combining images from two cameras rather than optics.
