The OnePlus 5 is one day away from being officially presented worldwide, the leaks have been constant and it is, possibly, the mobile that has raised the most expectations this year, and the most anticipated.
We have been receiving information about the OnePlus 5 for months. A terminal that has sparked many rumors, many of them false and others that are yet to be confirmed. What has no doubt, is that the OnePlus 5 will follow the path already set by the OnePlus 3 and 3T. Two smartphones that dominated the market thanks to their quality-price factor. But it is not only value for money, since many experts consider them the best mobiles of 2016.
Not everything has been a bed of roses for the new terminal of the Chinese brand. It is true that the terminal promises a lot, but it also has some possibly negative points, which have yet to be confirmed. Tomorrow, June 20 at 18:00 p.m., Spanish time, the presentation event can be followed from the OnePlus website. But, before this presentation, we will review what the OnePlus 5 will be.

Design
This has been one of the points that has raised the most controversy and the one that has been most rumored. Does it look like the iPhone 7 Plus? Yes. Is that bad? No. Everything indicates that the final design of the OnePlus 5 will be traced, or very similar, to the Apple smartphone. It is something that many of the Android users might find annoying or seem strange. But there is nothing wrong, the design of the iPhone 7 Plus is a worked design and, depending on the person, it can look quite beautiful and elegant. This is an aspect that could vary, everything indicates that the filtered images reveal the final appearance of the terminal. In addition, OnePlus has announced that it can be purchased in several colors, including black, gold, gray and red.
Screen
According to the latest data, the design will not be the only thing that looks like the iPhone 7. The screen will use the same color rendering technology as Apple devices. If we already knew that the OnePlus 5 screen would continue to have dimensions of 5,5 inches in 1080 x 1920 resolution. And the latest rumors have revealed that it will have a panel with the DCI-P3 standard, with a wider support of colors than the sRGB standard.
This is a piece of information to assess, that the screen has "only" FullHD resolution may be something that users score negatively. But, personally, I am in favor of terminals with better color representation, with a high-quality panel and FullHD resolution. In terms of quality in video playback, in the dimensions that we move, the differences are minimal. In addition, lower resolution also positively influences battery performance and lower panel cost.
Camera
In this section comes the greatest innovation from OnePlus. One of the weak points of the OnePlus 3 is the camera, if you compare it with the top terminals of its generation such as the Galaxy S7 or LG G5. For this generation they have opted for the Dual Lens, which seems to be the trend to follow. This double camera will be much superior to that of the OnePlus 3 and 3T, thanks to its agreement with the DxO company. This company is the developer of DxOMark, a photography comparison standard, where the HTC U11 currently reigns with a score of 90 out of 100, followed by the Google Pixel with 89 points.
Hardware
Here there is no doubt, as the top of the range worth its salt in 2017, this OnePlus 5 will mount the Soc Snapdragon 835, 6 or 8 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage with UFS 2.1 technology. A battery of up to 4.000 mAh, far superior to its predecessors. All this would place it as the most powerful mobile on the market, sweeping its rivals. And if they also continue to work on the fluidity provided by their OxygenOS customization layer, we could talk about the best mobile of the year, without any doubt.

Possible price and availability
OnePlus terminals stand out for their low price. With this OnePlus 5, it is assumed that the launch price will be higher than its predecessors, standing between 400 and 500 euros. From the launch to the market there is still no data, tomorrow we will have doubts.
