The OnePlus 5 was launched "live" on youtube yesterday. The whole experience was a bit stale. Carl Pei and colleagues read from teleprompters while standing in front of a green screen. There was no audience, and audience noise wasn't even added. However none of that mattered the OnePlus 5 brought all the excitement with it.
The Specs were the least of the co-founder's worries. He flashed them on the screen to get them out of the way. When looking for a new phone specs are among some of the most important aspects to consumers. The phone specs are as follows.
-OxygenOS with Android Nougat
-5.5" FHD Optic AMOLED with Gorilla Glass 5
-2.45GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 w/ Adreno 540 GPU
-Storage 64GB / 128GB UFS 2.1
-RAM 6GB/8GB LPDDRX4
-3300mAh battery with Dash Charge

Overall this phone looks pretty amazing for the under $500 price tag. It may have a 2016 design, but everything indicates that this phone will have what it takes to compete with the big boys. Mine is already ordered. Is anyone else picking this up?
