The OnePlus 5’s display is mounted upside-down, possibly the cause of ‘Jelly Scrolling’

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.

Comment: Hey OnePlus, that ‘natural’ and ‘subtle’ jelly scrolling on the OnePlus 5 is enough to keep me away

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…

It turns out some OnePlus 3T models can (sort of) enable the OnePlus 5’s DCI-P3 display mode

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…

Opinion: OnePlus 5 looks incredible, but the company needs to step up its software support game before I recommend it

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…

Comment: The OnePlus 5’s higher price is actually a good thing

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…
