The OnePlus 5 Specs Include 8GB Of RAM For $539

After numerous leaks and rumors, OnePlus has released its latest handset, the OnePlus 5.

The OnePlus 5 is a 5.5″ beast, powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. Coupled with 6GB or 8GB options, the OnePlus 5 should be lightning fast.

OnePlus 5 specs

• Color: Midnight Black, Slate Gray
• Display: 5.5″ 1080p Full HD AMOLED
• Operating system: OxygenOS based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat
• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
• GPU: Adreno 540
• Rear camera: 16MP, f/1.7 + 20MP f/2.6
• Front camera: 16MP, f/2.0
• RAM: 6GB or 8GB
• Storage: 64GB or 128GB
• Battery: 3,300mAh

Perhaps the biggest change is the camera setup. The OnePlus 5 has a dual camera setup on the back, with a 16 MP sensor and a 20 MP telephoto lens. The camera design definitely takes after the iPhone 7 Plus and it isn’t a surprise that the camera shoots in similar quality with portrait mode.

The OnePlus 5 is an unlocked phone with dual SIM compatibility. The company is calling it a “true world phone,” with support for 34 networks across the globe.

The Slate Gray model with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage will cost $479, while the Midnight Black model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB will sell for $539. That’s a bit higher than previous models, but still significantly less than its competitors.

OnePlus 5 Is Officially Confirmed - Will Be Unveiled This Summer

OnePlus has just confirmed that the name of their next phone will indeed be OnePlus 5.

Rumors of the company skipping from the OnePlus 3 to 5, left many scratching there heads. So why is the Chinese company skipping 4? Well, the number four is an unlucky number in China because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death." Additionally, it seems the staff at OnePlus are big fans of seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, who wore the number 5 throughout his 16 years in the league.
OnePlus has become known for making hardware with great specifications at a reasonable price. The handset was prematurely listed by OppoMart, possibly revealing its specs, price and release date. For the most part, the listing matches previous rumors, suggesting the phone will feature a Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB of RAM and a 3,600mAh battery with a price tag of $449. Although, the most intriguing feature listed has to be the dual camera.
OnePlus went on to confirm that they will launch the OnePlus 5 in "early summer."

RHINOSHIELD CRASH GUARD & SCREEN PROTECTOR REVIEW FOR ONEPLUS 3.

RHINOSHIELD CRASH GUARD AND SCREEN PROTECTOR REVIEW FOR ONEPLUS 3

As smartphones have become increasing more expensive, our desire to protect them grows with it. That protection can vary anywhere from the large and bulky to the cheap and frail. What if there was an option that not only protects your favorite device from 11 foot drops but also doesn't add bulk? What if it was also reasonably priced? We have found such a product, the Rhinoshield Crash Guard.

It is essentially a bumper for your phone created with a new polymer blend that provides a tremendous impact absorbing capability. The bumper is only 2.5mm thick and yet it still offers extreme protection. The idea being to cover up as little of your device as possible while adding maximum protection. It is extremely-lightweight, yet it is still fully capable of providing at least the same level of impact protection as many leading brands.

We have placed the Rhinoshield Crash Guard on two of our smartphones before (Nexus 6P and Nexus 5x) and are so pleased with the overall look and feel that we decided to place it on our OnePlus 3. It is easily our favorite way to protect our favorite phones.

We enjoyed the Rhinoshield's bumper so much, we had to try the Impact Protection Screen Protector as well. This is a very tough screen protector with great clarity compared to others that we have used. It would seems the company spent a great deal of time making this screen protector as good as possible and it shows. It's thin screen protector with a ton of strength. It has scratch resistance, keeps clean over time and is even easy to install.

Together, these two products will compliment your phone while also giving you peace-of-mind. You can find the screen protector and bumper available for a variety of phones including the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3 as well as the Google Pixel and XL. For a closer look of the Rhinoshield Crash Guard and Screen Protector, watch our video review.
