I used the OnePlus 5 for a week instead of my iPhone 7, my impressions!

Techno 27 July, 2017

For a month, I will use a OnePlus 5 instead of my iPhone 7. I already spent a good week with the Chinese smartphone, and here are the first impressions of my test.

The OnePlus 5 has something to compete with the iPhone 7, and it has proved to me for a decade already. After beating the smartphone headed in a speed test speed, the last flagship killer of OnePlus continues to amaze me. On the datasheet, the OnePlus 5 have nothing to envy Apple’s iPhone 7. At a time when the American smartphone has an A10 Fusion processor with 2 GB of RAM, the new OnePlus terminal is equipped with the excellent Snapdragon 835 with 6 GB of RAM (or 8 if you crack for the highest version of Range), and Android 7 Nougat. As a result, the iPhone 7 and OnePlus 5 are among the best smartphones in the world. But the OnePlus offers even more cool stuff …

Level photography, the Chinese smartphone impressed me for example. Its dual photo sensor (16 MP (f / 1.7) and 20 MP (f / 2.6)) tutoie perfection. It is as good as that of the iPhone 7 Plus and half price. It also offers a portrait mode that applies the same blur on the background as the Apple phone. But even if I’m seduced by the photos of the OnePlus 5, I can also find them faults. If the wide-angle stabilized sensor of 16 Mpx does wonders, the zoom of the OnePlus 5 is quite average. This is perhaps what keeps him from going for the first place in the ranking of the best photophones to the HTC U11.

The 5.5-inch screen of the OnePlus 5 is also impressive. Bright and easy to read, the AMOLED screen almost made me snap the beauty of my iPhone 7. After spending a lot of time perfecting the LCD, the Cupertino firm will finally opt for the OLED and between We, it was time. When I see the OnePlus 5, I want to remake the two seasons of Gomorra. In my eyes, the screen is one of the real strengths of OnePlus 5, so I will come back to it later.

But I regret that OnePlus did not try to make the happiness of my ears a little more. On the audio side, the company’s latest toy has a single loudspeaker. The latter sputtered fire, I had become accustomed to the stereo with my iPhone 7. So I feel like I have gone back a little. Another black point, as soon as I push the volume to more than 50%, the precision is no longer really at the rendezvous. These shortcomings are somewhat compensated by the presence of a jack then, I will not make my difficult …

On the interface side, the fluidity of OnePlus 5 does not leave me much to say. The smartphone runs under OxygenOS, a system based on Android 7.1.1 that promises an experience close to the purest version of the Google OS. Like Android in 2017, navigation is intuitive, using a drop-down panel that offers shortcuts and notifications, or the famous app drawer that can be displayed in From the bottom of the home screen.

The range of OnePlus 5 is also very good. The smartphone managed to cash my big days of work. If it is easy to hold the day, it can also withstand two days without recharging, if you do not use too many gourmet applications. The OnePlus 5 is one of the best smartphones of the moment. It is more expensive than anything we could offer OnePlus but, its technical sheet very muscular has enough to leave you speechless. Go in two weeks to discover my complete test of the smartphone. So stay tuned!
