Well,great phone - but for at least 600$,in EU,I mean.Just bought Mi6 for 450$(all custom&taxes incl.).These two are so close in terms of what they offer,but Mi6 looks way more cool,specially blue one..plus better camera and honestly fantastic audio output,connected to Yamaha a-s500 stereo amp and AKG K550 fullsize stereo headphones..one word-brilliant!

Even with lower res, smaller screen, bigger battery in OP5, Samsung's battery life's still comparable to it. Although, in GSMArena battery chart, Samsung does worse in screen-on tests, which is logical. That means Samsung's actually exceptional in standby time

        S8, 5.8" is 624 euro in Germany, I would pay that 124 euro difference to get it instead of giving 500 euro on OnePlus 5.. better camera (with optical stabilization), better screen, SD slot, IP68, inductive charge etc. Even the battery is with 300mAh less, endurance time seems to be not so much different. OnePlus 5 gets some advantage for the SW part.

                I don't think that Carl Pei's comment on twitter is correct. Oneplus told a Dutch newspaper that it's only 1.33x. Only if you crop 16 megapixel from the 20 megapixel sensor it would be 1.5x (and even not 1.6x) , but cropping is not optical zoom. Especially if the lens is not super sharp.

                    Things that are deal breaker for me :
                    1 . No water resistance(living in tropical region, its nice to have some resistance when you are out in the rain)
                    2. Uninspiring design.
                    3. Selfie camera is cropped/zoomed far too much, too make for EIS. For someone who does a lot of video calling, this means you have to hold the phone farther away to get a good composition of your face.
                    4. Signal to noise ratio of camera pictures is poor, why do you need 20MP pictures from a phone sensor, who will ever need such large resolution. larger resolution only helps to crop in closer or print larger. For an era where phone pictures are mostly used for Instagram/facebook; you dont need that many pixels. Should have made a 12MP camera with better low light capabilities. I was hoping DxOmark would help Oneplus see that. But i was mistaken.
                    5. 6GB is too much, but 8GB is overkill. Comeon, you runs million apps at one time? should have stuck with 4GB/6GB and reduce cost.
                    6. Only the first 10nm Snapdragon processor, i am sure there will be plenty more advances in this technology in future, which means you will probably have faster and more battery efficient processors from snapdragon soon.
                    7. Portrait mode on rear camera needs a lot of improvement, its a software thing and i am sure Oneplus may push updates to solve some of its issue, but untill then it does't seem worth.

The brand new 19MP camera shoots with lesser noise and lesser softness on the sides. But the night shots are almost particularly the same for the 2

                                  Usb 2.0 is pretty bad in this day and age. That's really old technology now. There's really no excuse for any phone, let alone a "flagship" phone, to not have usb 3.0 these days.

                                    Only good thing about One plus 5 is that all of the giants of youtube mobile reviewers from MKBHD to Michael Fischer lost credibility with their bare naked blatantly biased and paid reviews.

                                      But honestly we are 2017 and OP miss the "flagship" mark on quite a few spots.On top of that 1+5 has nothing original or "wow" going for it...certainly not a good thing if you plan to splash(pun intended) 500€

                                        > ...the tele camera's shots are even noisier than the regular cam. This can be explained by the smaller pixel size, and the fact that it's tuned differently

                                        The most obvious reason for that is the aperture: f/2.6 vs f/1.7 transmits 35% less light onto sensor.
