The phone will be available in two color variants — slate gray and midnight black, and comes with Android 7.1.1 out-of-the-box with Oxygen OS 4.5.0 on top.

OnePlus 5 Specifications, features

The OnePlus 5 comes with a dual-camera setup at the rear. With a 20-megapixel and 16-megapixel sensor at the back, the phone is capable of up to 2X lossless zoom using the 20-megapixel telephoto lens, and can also use data from the two sensors to create a depth-of-field effect, similar to Apple s Portrait Mode. This is achieved thanks to the main Sony IMX398 sensor featuring a wider f/1.7 aperture, while the secondary Sony IMX350 telephoto sensor comes with a narrower f/2.6 aperture. The camera also features EIS, 4K video recording and RAW format capture, while the front camera is a 16-megapixel shooter with EIS and f/2.0 aperture.

Internal storage and RAM vary according to the version you buy, with the lower-priced variant offering 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while the higher-priced variant comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
