OnePlus 5 Hate - From an iPhone User's Perspective #Helpful Post

hey that we're gonna be late for my

cousin's wedding aren't you dressed yet

oh crap well one of us gonna have to

change some things are just fact it is a

terrible time to be a Bulls fan England

is a beautiful city and I am an iPhone

user and I realized I am probably

putting a giant target on my back by

saying that but honestly I'm kind of

tired of having to be politically

correct especially when it comes to

smart phones you use what you use you

like what you like for me that happens

to be an iPhone but because of that I

feel like it's kind of giving me the

chance to sit back and watch the 1+5

launched from a different perspective

there was so much hype going into the

launch maybe too much for their own good

and once the phone dropped it got crap

all over I mean some of that was

unwarranted so what I want to do is kind

of break down the five biggest

complaints I've seen surrounded the one

plus five but also hopefully shed some

light on those complaints as well it

hands down the number one comment I've

seen is that it looks very very similar

to the iPhone 7 plus so be nice when

user and specifically in iPhone 7 plus

user yet there are no doubt similarities

between these two and honestly I

wouldn't be surprised if some one

mistake the 1 + 5 4 and iPhone 7 plus in

the wild but surprisingly I actually

prefer the feel of the 1 + 5 in my hand

over the iPhone 7 plus deckle 7 plugs

always felt a little slippery and a

little bulky if you wear it in shorts

forget about it and what C 1 plus 5

being lighter and thinner I actually

think is a better in hand experience

overall

so next up number two one of the biggest

complaints I've seen is that the oneplus

5 camera sucks and honestly it's not so

much that the cameras suck it's more so

that it's just not better than the best

out right now I think one plus really

needed to hit a home run with this and

had they done that I don't think they

would have been beaten up as badly as

they have been the Google pixel is a

great example it is a flagship phone at

a flagship price that is clearly missing

a ton of high-end features but because

of the pure Android experience and

because the camera was so good it was

pretty well received as far as dual

cameras in the 1 + 5 go I think portrait

mode works as well it's not better than

absalom 7 plus but I think really the

bigger complaint I've seen is the fact

they wish 1 + 500 to one with a

wide-angle lens instead of a telephoto

lens as the second option come in from

an iPhone 7 + user where I'm kind of in

the same boat with that second lens

being a telephoto option

tend to agree LG kind of nailed it with

their dual camera systems the wide-angle

is much much more useful so with that I

kind of wish one flex would have gone

that route as well

now jumping from pictures to video one

of the things I noticed right away was

the lack of oh is and yes there is a

software version of that but there's

nowhere near as good as the real deal

and I think using an iPhone 7 plus for

so long that has got to be one of my

favorite features how well that video

stabilization works so from a camera

package as a whole I can kind of see why

oneplus got a little beat up for that

next up number three the biggest

complaint I've seen is that it is only a

1080p display where oneplus is my 1440p

display and where is my super tall 18 by

9 aspect ratio so yeah I totally see

that point but I also don't see it as

the biggest deal in the world yes the

galaxy s 8 does have a 1440p display but

it also ships in a 1080p mode out of the

box for better performance the x1 7 plus

has a 1080p display which i think looks

fantastic and yeah you do lose out on

that extra tall 18 by 9 aspect ratio

screen like on the LG G 6 or technically

the 18 and a half by 9 aspect ratio in

the galaxy s 8 but those phones cost

considerably more than the one plus five

now next up number five one of the

biggest complaints I've seen is that the

oneplus 5 has no water resistance and

again kind of jumping back to the camera

if they had done a better job with that

I don't think the water resistance would

have been as big of a deal again like I

mentioned the Google pixel was not water

resistant but because the camera was so

good because the experience was so good

it kind of got a pass for that could

they have included water resistance with

1+5 absolutely but that kind of ties

into the fifth and final complaint I've

seen about this phone and then of the

fact that it is simply too expensive now

now from that standpoint that is where I

kind of disagree with everything the

oneplus five starts at 479 you can

credit to that from seven plus the

Galaxy at eight plus the Google pixel

those are all 700 plus dollars the

action 7 plus which is seven hundred and

seventy dollars only has 32 gigabytes

restored same thing with the Google

pixel XL we can talk specs and

benchmarks or cheating benchmarks all

day but at the end of it what really

matters I think the best thing about the

1 plus 5 is oxygen OS

it is clean it is very similar to a pure

Google experience but also very useful

at the same time you have USBC superfast

doors inside the phone and hands-down

one of the coolest features with the one

plus five is their - charge technology

which is lightning quick the unfortunate

thing with oneplus I kind of look at

them as that person in a relationship

who tried so so hard at the beginning to

go above and beyond meet these crazy

expectations but over the long term just

couldn't simply keep that up the problem

though is that second person in the

relationship or in this case the

consumer and the tech audience becomes a

little bit jaded and maybe a little less

appreciative of the effort now

ultimately the way I look at the 1 plus

5 is kind of like a la carte cable if

there are channels and features you

don't want you leave them off and

ultimately save money in this case if

you don't need water resistance if you

don't need a 1440p display if you don't

need an extra tall 18 by 9 aspect ratio

then maybe you want to consider the 1 +

5 on the other hand maybe you want those

features maybe you really want that

better cameras and I would step up to

the galaxy s 8 the LG G 6 the efteling 7

clubs but maybe those features aren't

worth it to you and you want to save 300

bucks the one plus 5 is not bad at all
