Expert Review
Wikipedia's coverage found the OnePlus 5 notable for skipping the number four due to tetraphobia superstition in China, while one of its most significant controversies was the so-called jelly scrolling effect caused by its inverted display panel.
VERDICT
A strong flagship remembered for pioneering dual-camera telephoto zoom and generous 8GB RAM, despite the notorious jelly-scrolling display quirk.
