One of the major gripes with the OnePlus 5 was the fact that it included EIS, but only for 1080p video. This meant that while the phone was capable of shooting 4K video the video shot would be wobbly and unusable. OnePlus has just sent out a software update which fixes this. The update includes...
In case you missed it today in your youtube sub box feed OnePlus has officially released their "Soft Gold" color variant., you know a month later so as to get a free press cycle once the hype was finished. This is basically the same color we saw with the OnePlus 3T. This color also comes with...
Last week we discovered a nasty bug with the OnePlus 5. When the number was dialed on some OnePlus 5 phones the phone would reboot before the call was able to go out. This bug could be life threatening to anyone experiencing it. Thankfully OnePlus took the complaints of the bug seriously and...
The OnePlus 5 is a pretty strong device at its price point featuring plenty of flagship worthy specs including a Snapdragon 835 CPU, up to 8GB of RAM, and a dual camera setup. All this at less than $500 and you can see why the new phone from OnePlus is getting so much fan fair.

Just before the launch of the OnePlus 5 Carl Pei announced that they would be working with DxOMark to make the best possible camera for the device. What that sounded like to me is, "We will be tweaking our camera to get the best DxOMark score possible." Many people assumed this would generate a...
Many people had considered returning what they considered to be defective OnePlus 5 units when they began to experience what they call a "Jelly Scroll" effect. They decided to hold out and wait on a software update to hopefully fix the issue. It seems like no fix will be coming to the device...
Several OnePlus 5 users have been reporting a "Jelly Scroll" issue on their device over at XDA. OnePlus has responded to the concerns by stating they are aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix. The screen appears to stretch and squash content as it moves across the screen giving a...
The OnePlus 5 has no IP rating. In other words OnePlus has not guaranteed any kind of water resistance on their phone. This seems like a lacking feature on the phone since most other flagships offer it. The device has now been water tested on youtube. In the video above the phone sits in a bowl...
I finally received my "early drop" edition of the OnePlus 5. One of the first things I just had to do was insert my Verizon sim to see if it would work. We already know that OnePlus did decide to include limited CDMA support so theoretically it should sort of work on Verizon. It is missing LTE...

Earlier we talked about how OnePlus "cheated" on benchmarks with the OP5 by arbitrarily cranked up settings when the phone detects it is running a benchmark or is under any stress. It looks like OnePlus was less than honest on one other detail. During the announcement of the phone Carl Pei...
