**Comparing the OnePlus 5 and iPhone 7 Plus: A Hands-On Review**
As I hold both phones side by side, I can see that despite their size difference, both have the same screen dimensions at 5.5 inches and the same screen resolution at 1920x1080 pixels at 401 PPI. The contrast is cranked up on both phones to show what the maximum brightness looks like. However, when it comes to weight, the OnePlus 5 weighs in at 4.9 ounces, which is significantly lighter than the iPhone 7 Plus's 6.63 ounces.

**Benchmarking**
Let's run a benchmark test to see how quickly both phones can handle everyday tasks. The Geekbench score is an important indicator of a phone's performance, and we're interested in seeing how the two phones compare.
Here are the scores for both phones:

As you can see, the iPhone 7 Plus scores significantly higher in terms of single-core performance, but the OnePlus 5 comes out on top in multi-core Arena. However, some sources have raised concerns about whether the OnePlus 5's benchmark scores are inflated.
**Website Loading Speed**
Let's test how quickly both phones can load websites. I've loaded several examples, including Uber.com, which is a website that sells books – yes, really!
Here are the results:

The OnePlus 5 loads up relatively quickly, but the iPhone 7 Plus takes a bit longer to load.
**Charging Speed**
When it comes to charging, the Dash charger on the OnePlus 5 is significantly faster than the regular charger that came with the iPhone 7 Plus. The OnePlus 5 can give you a full day's power in just half an hour, while the iPhone 7 Plus takes around an hour to do the same.
**Battery Capacity**
The battery capacity of both phones is also worth noting. The OnePlus 5 has a 3,300mAh battery, while the iPhone 7 Plus supposedly has a 2900mAh battery – although Apple never publicly confirms this, so it's just speculation.
**Price**
Finally, let's talk about price. The OnePlus 5 starts at $479, while the iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769. This is a significant difference in terms of affordability and value for money.
