OnePlus

Due to the higher price of the OnePlus 5 compared to the company’s previous devices, OnePlus opted to market the smartphone primarily on one feature — the new camera. When marketing a phone on just one feature, it would only make sense to ensure that specific feature is topping the charts in the industry. Unfortunately for OnePlus, that’s not quite the case.

The further we get from the announcement of the OnePlus 5, the more bizarre issues seem to crop up. Today it’s being revealed that the OnePlus 5 suffers from another odd problem. When recording video, stereo audio channels don’t adjust to the phone’s orientation.

Over the past day or so an issue with the OnePlus 5 has hit the headlines — “Jelly Scrolling.” While it’s not a deal breaker for some, it’s causing many to contemplate returning the device until it’s been fixed. Unfortunately, it looks like that won’t be happening as the cause has been discovered — the display is mounted upside-down.

There weren’t many problems I had with the OnePlus 3T, but its laggy touch input and scrolling was one of them. It wasn’t a deal breaker for everyone (clearly), but it was an annoying enough problem for me that I couldn’t make the phone my daily. Now, in light of complaints people are now having about the OnePlus 5, I’m absolutely flabbergasted that the company hasn’t paid more attention to this little — albeit clearly important — detail…

Thanks to some sleuthing XDA members, we now know that some OnePlus 3T models — but not all — can enable a display mode that’s shipping as an official feature on the company’s new OnePlus 5. That new wide color gamut display option is called DCI-P3, and it’s been popularized as of late on flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the iPhone 7.

It turns out enabling it on OnePlus’ 2016 flagship, given your device happens to have the right display hardware, isn’t too difficult…

Despite the light Android build and immense power of the OnePlus 5, the company is still facing some issues with the phone when it comes to optimization. Quite a few OnePlus 5 owners are reporting a new issue with the device described as “jelly scrolling.”

OnePlus held a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) yesterday as a way to answer questions from Android enthusiasts about its newest flagship: the OnePlus 5. While many inquired about the phone, others asked questions about when older devices would get upgraded. In response, a OnePlus representative has promised that the 3 and 3T will be updated to Android O “within this year.”

The OnePlus 5 went official just yesterday and it looks incredible. Our own Hayato is heads-down on his review as we speak and I look forward to his thoughts on Android’s new spec beast. From my perspective, though, there’s a lot to love about this phone at a glance. But I’m wary to recommend buying one for one reason in particular…

On paper, the OnePlus 5 is an incredible smartphone, packing basically the most powerful processing package available on the market today. One would think that the raw power there wouldn’t require any sort of help on benchmarks, but it seems that isn’t the case.

The OnePlus 5 was announced today, and while many appreciated the company’s decision to build a more premium handset, others were upset at the increased cost of the smartphone. As someone who dislikes the OnePlus 5’s price tag, what features would you have happily given up if it meant a less expensive cell phone?

When OnePlus released its first smartphone in 2014, the company called it the “flagship killer.” This was because it packed powerful flagship-level specs, and instead of charging customers an arm and a leg for the handset, the OnePlus One cost as little as $300 unlocked. This year, though, OnePlus released its newest flagship with a $539 price tag. It sounds steep, but I think it’s a good thing…

Although almost two generations old, owners of the OnePlus 2 have been holding out that they might one day receive an official update to Android 7.0 Nougat. OnePlus previously said that the firmware update would be made available for the handset but never actually gave a timeframe for its arrival. Well, today, the company confirms that the OnePlus 2 will never receive an official update to Nougat…

OnePlus has had a great track record over the past few years with a handful of solid Android smartphones at an affordable cost. Better yet, those phones were all fairly unique, experimenting with distinct materials and solid designs. But the other day we first found out what the OnePlus 5 might look like. Today, the company has confirmed those leaks, and yeah, it’s an iPhone clone.
