- The OnePlus 5 is a fast, powerful and well made phone for around $500. It offers most of the stuff you would find in a flagship device for a lower cost. However, there's 2 things still holding it back.

What do you guys think of the OnePlus 5? I like it, still one of the best $500 phones. But I think they could of made it better, especially with all the hype around the camera.
Oh for sure in Canada it is. But then again everything is = )
I was waiting for this phone too, ugghhhhhhh. So I'm debating whether or not to get the Lg G6 or wait for the new V30. Have you heard anything about the V30 in terms of release in Canada?
Matthew Moniz do you think the camera will get some software updates??
I would like a better battery
Matthew Moniz Even with some of its shortcomings, I honestly love this phone. It's solid, offers most of the latest and greatest technology for a very competitive price.
The only addition I would have liked to have was the water proofing, otherwise the big fuss about it being a 1080p screen and no wireless charging make no difference to me.
I think that any phone with dual cameras on the top left of the back will automatically resemble an iPhone 7 Plus
Very true!
LuneTech Point is the moving it somewhere else makes it ugly af
Well I think they could have made it in the style of the 3T, so vertical and in the middle, would have looked great as well. But they said they couldn't because it would make the phone thicker.
huawei p10, try again
the only thing you can do to prevent that is adding a glass bar. But then it'll look like phones like the p10 or pixel
+how old is your son?
- 288 month old :)
How old is your One Plus 5?
- 9.6 x 10³ minutes old
Just like I thought. They're slowly increasing their pricepoint but they still offer one of the best value-for-your-money phones out there. I also like their OxygenOS, build quality is fine too. But I just don't like Oneplus as a company anymore. No Nougat support for the OP2 after stating it would get it, cheating benchmark tests (not that I care about those tests, but still, bad practice), overhyping their device. But my biggest 'problem' with them is the fact that they're losing their original vision.
Just like you I don't care about design that much, but it is their most generic phone out there so far. I LOVED the Oneplus One's design, the lifted glass is a beauty to behold, but ever since the Oneplus 2 they went with a more generic design every new iteration they brought to the market. What happened to differentiating theirselves? Offering something unique? It's not about the design being generic now, it's knowing where they started and getting to the design they have now. They're just every other flagship, but cheaper (which is still great ofcourse, but wouldn't you rather pay 100 bucks more with a better camera, longer guaranteed support and better customer service - although they allegedly did step up their game on this aspect?)
Great video as always and I can't wait for the full review!
Pretty funny I asked about the camera in a tweet just a couple of minutes ago and you answered everything I wanted to know about it in this video though. :P
Jasper Pauwels 100% Agree,still using my Oneplus One and i was hoping for a more unique design :/
I agree. I own a one plus 3T and I really like it. but I really miss the sandstone finish they had on their design. they're just playing catch up at the minute with the top brands and rather should have created their own image instead.
Am I the only one still using Nokia LUMIA 1020? they just abandoned upgrading our software, no support,nothing.
96 Hours Literally! That's kind a funny bro! you are different from everyone!
Thanks man!
My pleasure mate!
Crazy how inconsistent the experiences have been. My battery life has been stellar. I have heard others say the same thing though. Also I agree. Who gives a SH*T
Danny Winget what's the SOT that you get? I'm kind of confused between honor 8 pro and OnePlus 5. Honor 8 has 4000mah but a 5.7inch 2K display which I think would negate the extra 700 mAh battery. But not sure. I don't understand when a person invest a lot of money of smartphone shouldn't the company provide a larger battery to make it worth for another 2-3 years?!
I don't think this is faster than the sony xz premium.
Patrick Jones it id
The OP bag looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
haha i know I think I like the OP bag the most!
Matthew Moniz what do you mean with that 😂
Just wanted to say you have an AMAZING camera .. and color correction is A1. Great videos! Keep up the good work
This is the first video of yours that I saw and i'm subscribed! You gave a perfect summary of this phone in an honest unbiased way. Keep up the good work man! Cheers.
+Aniket Kapse Thanks Aniket! Welcome to the channel!
I'm a new subscriber to your channel but long time viewer! I love that you give the positive and the negatives about the phone without adding any obvious bias! Great job!
Thanks Daniela!! = ) Also, welcome to the channel!
Awesome mini review, Matthew. I love the OnePlus for their software. Silky smooth. Didn't have stutter or lag no matter how hard I tried to make the phone lag.
+TechLineHD thanks man! Ya performance is definitely top notch !!
Considering the camera comes second after the pixel and iPhone, I would safely say it definitely has a great camera and not just ok
i was thinking the same thing in all the camera comparisons op5 shines (except that 4k stabilization) i saw supersaf camera test vs iPhone 7 plus with thm mounted at the same cymbal ,its the best comparison you can have, and actually op5 was better in most of the tests almost 80% even in lowlight ,autofocus, front camera dynamic range ,macro etc .the only clear win for the 7 plus was the 4k video .in 1080 op5 has way better video than iPhone with even better stabilization .so saying op5 CAMERA IS JUST OK is strange to me .maybe he can sharpen his skills or dive into testing it more
mounorman op confirmed that eis is coming to op5 for 4k recording
B. A.
After a few updates this will be a beast of a camera
That was a detailed and comprehensive follow-up. Great video as always!
Thanks Salmaaan!
Great video. I also was hoping they worked more on that screen. I have the OP3 and I can tell the quality of the display is not as good as other screens (even other 1080p phones). For the camera, the hardware seems good, but from what I heard image pris not so great. Hopefully an update would make the camera better. I'm glad you informed us that it's not a huge update from the 3/3T. Now I won't rush to get one.
Regarding the design, I agree it's not important. But this reminds me when I was using the Samsung galaxy S (the very first one, was sold at bell and Virgin as the galaxy S5 Vibrant). My friends back then thought I switched to an iPhone 3GS. I can see similar thing happening with this phone.
Matthew, here's a tip: Set the font size to small and the Display size to default. Everything will look so much nicer. :)
+Rishabh Patel ya I purposely increased it : ) I'm old
Hurra! The first realistic UA-camr! Thanks a lot! Camera is ok, nothing more and display not wort 500 or more EUR.
Of all of the reviews I've seen on youtube, you have the best ones. Seriously. Sub'd my dude.
+Reza Djangi Thanks Reza!
what kind of tricky magic are u using in ur videos? am always liking before watching ? really great work man
haha thanks man! I really appreciate it
Camera is consistently the most important feature. Apps are apps. Phones always slow down, but photo/video quality is about the user's LIFE! That said, I've asked before to talk about the camera launch time. I own both a Samsung and LG. Both are a couple of years old. Samsung older than LG. YET the LG camera takes several seconds to fully boot. I can't tell you how many life's pictures I've missed. The older Samsung camera performs much better. And FYI, the OnePlus 5's missing image stabilizer is a deal killer. You didn't mention it, but it's a significant element to all phone cameras. Please keep up the good work.
thank you for mentioning the pentile matrix in regards to the display. haven't heard anyone mention it in other reviews which I thought was strange since it was a pretty big negative of the OP3/3T. after hearing that I definitely agree this is an incremental upgrade
You're welcome Sean! = )
Excellent pre-review. Well done at covering the details. That's how it should be done. Keep it up.
Thanks Robert!
Great review as always!!! Which do you prefer Matthew? One plus 5 or an s7 edge?
OnePlus 5 for sure. Not a fan of the S7 Edge.
Awesome video @MatthewMoniz 😎
#1ofYourFan
hah thanks Yash!! = )
Waited 96 hours after release for this ;) Great review Matthew
haha thanks man! = )
great review as always! which phone do you prefer Matthew, op5 or U11, and why? thanks a lot bro.
Thanks Lee! = ) I haven't used the U11 so I can't really say..
I will get the OP5 anyway. Im currently running a S6 Edge and im just so done with charging it 3 times a day. Im downgrading the Display from 1440p to 1080 but hey. like srsly why would i need 1440p? i watch movies at a TV or on my PC. Camera well i still like it tbh. its not on the same level as a s8 or so but more than enough for a normal user so.
S8 VS OP5
OP5 is 250-300 bucks cheaper (at least here)
S8 Camera is better
OP5 should theoretically have a better Battery Life
S8 has a bit more Swag if you look at the Design
OP5 Performance is just Sick
For me its clearly the OP5. the money i save can be used for my next phone.
Silver you can get the s8 unlocked for cheaper on the samsung website if u trade in another phone
cheaper than $539? no. Still would cost $650. I would rather buy the one plus and sell my GS6 to whomever for $100 lol. Not gonna go deal with samsung and their laggy shit anymore.
what an optimistic review with just positive critism. Subbed! (not that I am buying this phone though)
Hey Matt... Yeah man a good honest look/preview ... The good and the bad...lack of an SD card and no water resistance kind of kills the phone for me but I know for some people that don't matter... also I know the design doesn't particularly matter but just to see some kind of something new if I'm going to spend 500 bucks that's the point... when they make a point of saying never settle as their slogan ....it's real twin in the R11 by Oppo iwhich has the same parent company... Here an interesting fact the 0p5 is made in Oppo factorys...
I have ordered this phone with a great hope... you are giving a very honest review thanks for that.... I have one query did it have some sort of ultra power saving mode or not as I need battery for atleast a day long for conference calls
i think they will improve the camera software because the phone is not completely finished it just need some adjustments
thx man. got one plus 3t. nd happy wid it..z😍
That is one great video on one plus 5 . Keep it up. Crispy team.
Hey Matt enjoyed the video. I've been looking to upgrade my phone but don't have a lot to spend so I've been deciding between the oneplus 5 and the Lg G6 as they are cheaper premium phones at a similar price. Living in Australia I haven't been able to find a place even online that is reliable that currently sells it so I'm unsure the price but I can get the G6 for about $650 Australian. If they are about the same price what would be your choice? I feel as if the cameras are fairly equal or at least not significantly different. The main differences between the phones are performance OP5 and screen/design G6. Your thoughts? Thank you in advance
Matthew Moniz hi ....was waiting for this review, I'm confused between this and lg g6 ,which one is better overall, priced same in my country... Thanks
I've seen the comparisons and the camera is better than the iphone 7+ in most tests. Dash charge is also the fastest charge of any phone. As of right now the oneplus 5 is one of the best phones out, not just budget phones.
good review, nice pointers. am considering the moto z2 play.
I don’t get these camera complaints. Some people consider this right up there with the S8, pixel. And the DxOMark score reflects that
So, the camera in OP5 is really average? I'm thinking of buying this phone, but the camera is for me very important...
you just won another subscriber =)
Pls do a camera test with other flagship phones like S8 , iPhone 7 and Sony , take into account the same resolutions and do video comparison !! See whether One plus 5 has a bad camera !!
what do you think is the best option if I want to buy a phone with good camera, op5 or iPhone 6s?
I am watching this on my one plus five and it has also been about 96 hours for me as well. For me, the camera is stellar, I mean in low light, it becomes absolute garbage but with enough light, it is easily one of the best cameras out there. On top of that, my battery life is just swell, I mean I have certainly seen better but with dash charge, it just feels as if it is the best. Aside from design, waterproofing and low-light photography, there is absolutely nothing to complain about.
I was on GS7 Edge. Upgraded to OP5. Camera was downgraded, Waterproof obviously a kill. But I am still very happy due to the performance. Battery life is pretty good compared to GS7E. In the end, I am looking at performance rather than camera and waterproof capabilities. So I guess everyone's need is different.
exactly why i won't change my s7edge to a op5, performance? meh, its just fine on the s7, and the looks? the s7edge is one of the most beautiful smartphones with a snappy camera, sorry man i can't agree with u, op5 is a flop, the 3T was a better looking phone, in the end everyone thinks different, good luck with ur op5 ; )
José Mariano Still kept my S7E for the time being. But so far, performance is an amazing upgrade. It makes S7 like a turtle.
i do totally agree with the camera and display but remember that it is a small company and they dont have the tochnoligy to make a full display screen
One note this phone has the ability to unlock the bootloader so if you like tinker with your phone this is a solid option. That was a big sell. Most newer androids are locked down pretty solid so this phone could be a lot of fun.
0:30 - Got my sub just for saying what I've been telling everyone I know for the past several weeks.
+Tech Sway thanks man! Welcome to the channel
2:20 what's with the crazy pixelation on the screen!?
I sold my s8+ and it's great display which gets shipped at 1080 resolution by the way. What is the point having a great display if the phone lags like hell or shuts down apps randomly sorry but I think the s8 is more overrated then the op5 camera on the Samsung is always on beauty mode even if you turn it of so you never really Get a sharp pictures when making a selfi or when I make pictures of my kids so if you ask me the op5 is much better in most aspects then the s8 but this is obviously personal preference.
Man I can't hear you but you are Pissed😂
sasch bresemann s8 plus for this iphone clone?😂 ok good luck with that.99% of oneplus fan boy wish they can afford the s8 plus
young mouss let the dude choose what he wants cause that's what's most important
S8 is way overrated and overpriced! Software is terrible.
sasch bresemann go for the OP5 then or the iPhone 6s or 7
The selling point of OP5 is the camera, although they upgraded to dual camera but it still not convincing enough for me to swap my OP3T to OP5.. Really hope OP can improve the software more for better picture.
the design looks like the oppo r11
I like the camera a lot and the software , including the shelf feature and dark mode
overall fairly good value for money
question..
but then why copy when you never settle???
the camera on the opo5 is better that the iphone 7+s camera however the 7+ has ois
Software is the #1 reason I love Oneplus phones, and keep buying them. Also love the small things like the notification LED and alert slider. It's the perfect phone for me, even though a little too big for my tastes, but since that's the only negative for me I'll keep using them.
3:15 the photos youve shown us are totaly on the same level! Look at the highlight in the gras photo... the OP5 is handling it much better than the Pixel! How can you than say its not on the same level? Only in low light I can agree but otherwise top quality!
🔥
sir what's wrong with the camera...I don't really understand need some explanation...Waiting for reply...??
Thank you for your review, it basically sounds like the perfect phone for me.
You're welcome!
i was using that wallpaper in your review with the bottom half blurred (where my apps are)
Curious at why you seem to like the pixel more than the S8 when it's technically not better?
Hey Matt,
I am currently holding a 128GB Pixel, and been eyeing on OnePlus 5 ever since it's launch. Is it worth to upgrade to OnePlus 5?
+Kajendra definitely not! Keep that pixel : )
I can compromise the screen resolution on this phone because I prefer to do all my movie watching on my laptop. Same goes to the camera because I would rather shoot photos I want to keep on a DSLR camera. No stereo speakers isn't a problem because we have options for earbuds/phones.
They really gave us good specs on this phone at it's price range, but the miss opportunity was not giving this phone any waterproofing.
Great video. Couldn't agree more!
Thanks Zac!
i am a bit dissapointed you cant get the Midnight Black version as 6gb model
hey,does your oneplus 5 volume up button seems to be little inwards compared to low volume button??
xiomi mi6 or op5 which should buy??
which one is better the one plus 5 or iphone 6s plus
I would have to say that i am blown away by the camera on my new op5. I have upgraded from a opo, and my close friends have pixel, s7, s8, and i have to say i find all of the cameras on par with each other. plus you can shoot raw on op5.
i must say though, that the op5 camera layout is annoying in that you have swipe to swap from camera to video.
so far i feel that my new phone is just as good, actually better than the leading brands, mainly because of the oxygen os which is in my opinion the best OS available for a phone. side note, i really hate touch wiz... even when i was a samsung boy.
Do you think it's worth the upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy S6?
DEfinitely!
Matthew Moniz thanks man 😉 love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Nice!! I'm Portuguese too but born in Canada
Matthew Moniz so cool didn't know that. Um grande abraço e continua com os excelentes vídeos, sou fã do canal Abraço
how about the camera comparing it to the g6
I think that the OP5 display is not really too bad. When a phone have a higher display, it makes the battery even worse. So, most people wouldn't really care about the display because 1080p is beautiful enough for most people. Even the iPhone 7 Plus which is over $800 is only 1080p and it's selling well.
Who won the S8?
Best phone in its price range... And beats big flagships in many ways... Way to Go Oneplus
Gr8 work..keep rocking
+ashish dhandharia Thanks Ashish!!!
"Who gives a sh!tt" I laughed pretty hard. That was great! I mean I don't think anyone would mind if their car was a copy of a Maybach....
Are there any phone options in this price range that have a camera similar to the pixel, S8 iPhone 7, if this was the only thing that mattered?
I agree the hype on the camera on this device was pretty high, but it shouldn't be surprising that the things that cost the most in a phone's BOM are where OP used inferior components - it's probably the only reasonable way to go about hitting a price point under $500 for a device that is otherwise quite well-featured (especially in the headphone audio quality). I also think the target market for the device will probably not care that the camera doesn't shoot the absolute best photos or 4K video either.
Hey Matthew!! Why does 1+ always sell their products for half the rate of other flagships like LG and Samsung ?? What benefits do they get by doing that?? Do they use cheaper quality parts or do they not spend money in R&D??-As always let crispy vids keep coming!!!
Biggest factor is distribution costs. They cut the middle man and sell most of their phones via their webshop. They also don't spend as much on advertising as other companies. Those are the two biggest factors I believe, not sure though.
Jasper Pauwels wtf no advertisements....u will find a lot of ads in India..
"They also don't spend as much on advertising"
Not as much =/ not at all
zioNNN' dude..im damn serious..advertising rivaled even apple and Samsung
please do a camera comparison of op5 with mi6
Hey matthew, I have an oneplus one. Do you recommend for me to uprade to the 5 or the 3t?
Alfred They are both great but the OnePlus 5 has a better camera
matthew, op5, g6 or pixel? which is the best phone to buy as of now?
Mayank Choudhary g6 bro
Payroll I'm leaning towards Pixel for the overall experience the it provides.
So, should I buy the Samsung s7 or oneplus 5t? They are pretty much the same price. I was going to get it today at Best Buy but have to wait a couple days to get it. Anyways, which one should I get for $475? I truly appreciate any positive and honest feedback. Thanks.
Igy E my question has been asked by u
S7 edge or oneplus 5?
its faster than pixel n pixel xl dnt make biase review
Deven shakya yeah i know right the oneplus 5 shits on the google pixel in performance
Deven shakya yes it's far smoother than pixel.
that because there basically no animations on the OnePlus 5
there are animations and you can control them like any other phone and Op5 is the best performing phone out there till now .only one phone can come close to its performance xiaomi Mi6
S Saini Are you mad that it's so fast that it response before you tap the screen?
please do a full review soon
+Jeet PG yes sir !
What other phone would u suggest at the same price point that has a better camera? I'm in the market for a new phone, upgrading from a nexus 6 one of the main reasons being a better camera
+tarunesh pasuparthy LG G6 is pretty close
why not wait for pixel2?
Do you think the display thingy is a big issue?
+Technical Emoji it's not a big issue it's just not a great display. It's fine. Most people will be happy with it.
i have the galaxy s6 edge right now and and i have beem useing it over a year now and i want to buy the galaxy s8 is it worth it or not? oh and i want to buy it with 2year contract from TELUS the phone will cost $0 right now it's on sale so what do you think?
Does it have WiFi calling feature?
Have to have a good camera that shoots well under most conditions. If it's a shortcoming here, then it's not the phone for me...at any price
6gb is not overkill, you need it for this day and age, 8gb probably is, if you look at the s8 or g6 you can see the aging eventually
Great short review Matt. I agree the battery performance has been very inconsistent. some day I get 6 hours of screen on time and some days it fails to even deliver 4 hours of screen time. Screen is not so bad. problem is with the way it looks. Every other phone that comes out of China looks like an IPhone. Camera is not as great as advertised. I would say it's slightly above average.
Thanks Milind!
I'm still sticking with my old OP2.
The lost of personality, the lack of OIS, dual speakers and the increase of price makes the phone less atractive...
subscribed for your real review of the Oneplus 5.
"If you own a Oneplus 3 or Oneplus 3t , don't upgrade to the Oneplus 5."
Thats what im going to do , thanks !
+RAM-tv thanks man ! I'm glad I could help : )
Apple has this design, it's ground breaking! OP5 does it, it's "good" ? They never hyped it. The fans did.
Watching on my OnePlus 5!
+Violet Zhang reading your comment on my one plus 5!
Do you think that making a blatant copy of the iPhone 7 plus for a company that "never settles" is alright? Agreed many phones are inspired by design of another phone. But in my opinion what OP did wasn't expected from them.
Rishabh Mehta Apple is the one who copied this design from oneplus just sayin
Nappie lol. how?
how can my 1080p screen phone play a 1440p video.
Will there be a oneplus 5t?
Oh come on! If you're pixel peeping to distinguish between 2k and 1080p, then you're not using it right. Do you know that it needs less processing power to push that many pixels. Yes, that's one of the reasons the phone is blazingly quick.
But agree with the camera quality. They hyped it a lot and haven't delivered. Maybe software updates will improve it
+Faheem Yazdani I'm totally cool with 1080p just don't like they used a pentile matrix. Your eyes can easily see pixelation. All they had to do was switch to LCD or keep amoled but use a diamond matrix
