Here we go with another "Flagship killer" or is it by One plus

Design

 For all the apple lovers oneplus 5 would look like a copy of iPhone 7 plus but personally it looks a tad less premium than iPhone 7 plus but still a worthy product considering its price of $479/Rs 32999 for the 6 GB variant and $539/Rs 37999 for the 8 GB variant.
 Oneplus 5 comes in 2 colors namely slate grey and midnight black

Display

The OnePlus 5 has a 5.5-inch Full HD OPTIC AMOLED screen that looks nice

The big headline display-wise is that OnePlus hasn’t decided to upgrade to a QHD resolution screen for the OnePlus 5.
Instead you get a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display here. It seems to be the exact same tech we saw on the OnePlus 3T, and some will inevitably be disappointed by that.

Camera

Perhaps OnePlus’s crowning glory, the camera has been through a number of improvements for the OnePlus 5. OnePlus has been criticized in the past for its lack of innovation in this area, and it has  now delivered a dual-lens sensor.The main camera lens has a super-wide aperture of f/1.7, which ensures that photos are bright without being overexposed. The telephoto lens then has an aperture of f/2.6.
That said, it’s not going to give you the same level of zoom quality as a DSLR, and it’s not going to revolutionize the way phone cameras work – but it’s a very useful feature to have when you want to shoot objects that are far away.
The OnePlus 5 rear camera also comes with a Portrait mode, which allows you to get beautiful shots of people using the two-lens setup. It means you can place your subject in the foreground of the image and then blur out the background, complete with attractive 'bokeh' effects.
This is especially useful when you’re taking shots of people, but you can use it on objects as well. It allows you to create some interesting effects, but you can’t make as many tweaks to the image after you’ve taken

Battery life

3,300mAh battery plus greater optimization gives solid battery life
Can last around a day with auto brightness on
Battery life is one of the few areas where a flagship phone can stand out from its rivals in 2017, and the OnePlus 5 needs to be able to survive at least a full day on a single charge.
On paper, compared to the OnePlus 3T the OnePlus 5 looks like a downgrade, with the former sporting a 3,400mAh battery while the latter features a 3,300mAh battery.

The processing tech used inside this phone is newer though, and much more efficient in terms of power consumption, and we think you’ll notice that in day to day battery life.
The OnePlus 5 will keep pace with a lot of the devices you’ll find on the market today.

There’s fast-charging tech here – OnePlus’s version is called Dash Charge – which means you’ll be able to pump some juice into your phone very quickly if you need to. OnePlus continues to claim that it's fast enough to get you a full charge in the time it takes you to get a shower, but that’s not strictly true.
Unless you're taking a long and relaxing bubble bath, you’ll likely only get enough charge for a few hours – but it’s certainly better than your phone dying on you when you need it.
For those times when you really are gasping for battery life the OnePlus 5 also comes with a battery-saving mode; we found that this really restricted what apps we could open, but it will prolong battery life on the phone and that’s all you need when you’re clinging onto the last dregs of power.
OnePlus isn’t offering the best battery life on the market here, but it’s a similar level to most of the flagship competition, and unless you’re a power user you’ll probably get through a whole day of using the OnePlus 5 and still have a little leftover before you plug in overnight.

Verdict
Oneplus 5 is a good upgrade if you are coming from a oneplus 2 or any other phones which is 2 years old, but its flagship killer status sounds a bit odd given the fact its price is getting higher with every year, its a good buy but not a great one.
