The OnePlus 5 (also abbreviated as OP5) is a smartphone made by OnePlus. It is the successor to the OnePlus 3T, which was released in 2016. The OnePlus 5 was officially unveiled during a keynote on 20 June 2017 and first released on June 20, 2017. It was succeeded by the OnePlus 5T five months later on November 21, 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/3237111/android/oneplus-5t-specs-features-price-release-date.html|title=OnePlus 5T upgrades the OnePlus 5's great specs with a new screen and design}}
History
The Verge announced in May 2017 that the successor to the OnePlus 3 would be known as the OnePlus 5. While OnePlus did not officially state why the number four was skipped, it was speculated that it was due to the number four being considered unlucky (tetraphobia) in China.{{cite web|last1=Seifert|first1=Dan|title=The OnePlus 5 will arrive this summer|url=https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/5/5/15539300/oneplus-5-announcement-launch-timing-summer|website=The Verge|publisher=Vox Media, Inc.|access-date=5 May 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170505151217/https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/5/5/15539300/oneplus-5-announcement-launch-timing-summer|archive-date=5 May 2017|url-status=live|language=en|date=5 May 2017}}
According to India Today, the "4" was skipped because OnePlus 2 was not very successful and now OnePlus considers even numbers unlucky.{{cite web|last1=Saha|first1=Sneha|title=Number 4 is not unlucky, it's just that OnePlus doesn't like even numbers anymore, so OnePlus 5|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/features/story/number-4-is-not-unlucky-its-just-that-oneplus-doesnt-like-even-numbers-anymore-1023812-2017-07-12|website=India Today|access-date=2019-09-27|language=en|date=2019-07-12}}

Following criticism of prior models' camera quality, OnePlus implemented an electronically stabilized 16 MP Sony Exmor IMX398 camera module along with a 20 MP Sony Exmor IMX350 telephoto lens, capable of producing a bokeh effect. The front camera uses a 16 MP IMX371 lens.{{Cite web|url=https://9to5google.com/2017/06/20/oneplus-5-official-specs-release-date/|title=The OnePlus 5 is official with Snapdragon 835, 8GB of RAM, 16 MP dual-camera, priced at $479/$539|last=Schoon|first=Ben|date=2017-06-20|website=9to5Google|access-date=2017-06-20}} OnePlus claims that the dual camera enables a 1.6X optical zoom; however, independent testing has only reproduced a 1.33X optical zoom.{{Cite news|url=http://www.techradar.com/news/oneplus-5s-2x-zoom-isnt-as-optical-as-you-might-think|title=OnePlus 5's 2x zoom isn't as optical as you might think|last=Rogerson|first=James|date=22 June 2017|work=TechRadar|access-date=2017-06-25|language=en}} DxOMark gave the camera a rating of 87, which is above that of the iPhone 7.{{cite web|last1=Serrafero|first1=Mario Tomás|title=DxOMark Reviews OnePlus 5 Camera Quality, Gives it a Score of 87|url=https://www.xda-developers.com/dxomark-reviews-oneplus-5-camera-quality-gives-it-a-score-of-87/|website=xda-developers|access-date=7 July 2017|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170707041753/https://www.xda-developers.com/dxomark-reviews-oneplus-5-camera-quality-gives-it-a-score-of-87/|archive-date=7 July 2017|url-status=live|language=en|date=6 July 2017}}

The majority of the initial reviews of the phone were positive.

Wired noted that despite the phone's camera specifications, the photo quality was mediocre; however, it commended the smoothness and battery life of the device.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.com/2017/06/review-oneplus-5/|title=Review: OnePlus 5|last=Pierce|first=David|magazine=WIRED|access-date=2017-06-20|language=en-US}}
XDA Developers noted that the phone was locking the CPU and GPU at their maximum clock speeds while in certain games and benchmarks in order to inflate their benchmark scores, resulting in the phone reaching external temperatures as high as 50 °C.{{Cite web|url=https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5-benchmark-cheating-reviews/|title=Do NOT Trust OnePlus 5 Benchmarks in Reviews - How OnePlus Cheated|date=2017-06-22|work=xda-developers|access-date=2017-06-25|language=en-US}} OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei, defended the actions by saying that users "want to see the full potential of their device without interference from tampering" and that "Every OEM has proprietary performance profiles for their devices".{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/21/oneplus_cheat_codes_for_benchmarks/|title=OnePlus accused of installing cheat codes for benchmarks with new handset|last=Thomson|first=Iain|date=21 June 2017|website=The Register|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621214155/https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/21/oneplus_cheat_codes_for_benchmarks/|archive-date=2017-06-21|url-status=dead|access-date=2017-06-25}}
