The OnePlus 5 was one of the most anticipated smartphones released in recent years. The significance of this comes, of course, partly because of the OnePlus brand which has disrupted the market place. But it also comes down to the strength of the OnePlus 5 phones, packing an enviable amount of industry-leading tech into an affordable, sleek, well-designed smartphone.

On June 21, thousands of people in major cities around Europe, from Paris to London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Helsinki, Copenhagen, as well as New York on June 20, queued for hours to get their hands on one of the early released OnePlus 5 smartphones.
