The OnePlus 5: Officially Announced and Now Available for Purchase

In this video, we're excited to announce that the wait is finally over - the OnePlus 5 has officially been released. Rather than scouring the internet to find the release date, pricing, and other details, I've put together a quick video to save you time and effort. Plus, if you're eager to get your hands on this new phone right now, we'll show you how to do just that.

Specs Galore: A Closer Look at the OnePlus 5

First things first, let's take a look at the specs of this powerful device. The OnePlus 5 boasts an impressive 1080p, 5.5-inch AMOLED screen that promises a stunning visual experience. But that's not all - under the hood, it's powered by a fast and efficient Snapdragon 835 processor. And for those who want more storage space, there are two models to choose from: one with six gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage, and another with eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage. Both models feature DDR4 memory.

A True World Phone: Frequencies for Every Carrier

One of the unique selling points of the OnePlus 5 is its status as a true world phone. According to OnePlus, this means that it's designed to work seamlessly with carriers from all over the world, including GSM and CDMA networks. This means that users can expect optimal performance on any carrier they choose. Additionally, OnePlus has improved the vibration motor in this device, which was previously a point of contention for some users.

Dual Camera Set-Up: A Key Feature

The OnePlus 5 features a dual camera set-up that's similar to what we've seen on other flagship devices like the iPhone. However, it's worth noting that there is no optical stabilization like on the iPhone 7 Plus - instead, the phone uses electronic stabilization. While this may not be as smooth as optical stabilization, it still delivers great results and should satisfy many photography enthusiasts.

Dash Charging: Quick and Efficient

One of the standout features of the OnePlus 5 is its Dash charging system, which promises to deliver a full day's worth of battery life in just 30 minutes. This means that users can quickly top up their battery on the go, without having to worry about finding a power outlet. The phone also features a USB-C port at the bottom, an RGB notification light for customizable notifications, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, and WiFi.

The Verdict: A Compelling Package

Overall, the OnePlus 5 offers an impressive package of specs and features that make it an attractive option for anyone looking for a high-quality smartphone. With its fast processor, stunning display, and robust camera setup, this device is sure to deliver great performance and results. And with options starting at $479 for the base model and rising to $539 for the higher-end variant, there's something here for everyone.

A Note on Color Options

One thing that's worth noting is that color options may vary depending on which model you choose. According to the website, the six gig, 64 gig storage option comes in only one color: gray. However, the eight gig, 128 gig storage option is available in two colors: black and gray. This means that users may need to carefully consider their choice of model based on color preferences.
