**** The Official OnePlus 5 Thread ****

Nope, just a new camera for low light pictures instead of having the telephoto.

Changing for changing sake - OnePlus seem to be having an identity crisis at the moment.

Lowlight is more important to many than telephoto which wasn't great to begin with.

OIS would probably meant a bigger camera module and therefore more of a redesign of the body.

All in all seems like a good update. Though they need to nail the camera on the OP6 or I'll be looking elsewhere.

The price just shows how greedy others OEM's are. £50 more includes a storage and ram bump. Compare that to a Pixel XL 2, £100 more for the same storage bump but less ram than both OP models.

Should have had OIS to begin with, rather than annoying all of their customers who invested a lot of money. Don't forget, a lot of their customers are people in India, and other less economically developed countries, so £450 is still a lot of money. If they'd have been told that a new phone would be out 5 months later with better low light performance, something the OP5 was horrendous at, they wouldn't have bought it.

I don't think the camera area would have needed any more of a re design than it did. OIS would have made more of an impact to low light, plus they could have added a wide angle lens then, which, from experience owning a G6, makes a massive difference to photos.

I agree it should have OIS from the start and a 12mp and a larger sensor than it has now. If they make the same mistake on the OP6 then I will be as disappointed as you are now and look elsewhere.

I love what LG have done with the wide angle. In a an world we'd have 3 cams on the back. Wide normal and zoom.

I agree. If it's as consistently fast as that video and doesn't get spoofed by someone who looks completely different, then I don't think it will matter. Looks like an excellent update and for the price (if i didn't already have a G6) i'd be snapping one of these up
 
Quite impressed with the camera comparisons so far, shots consistently look more vibrant than images from competition, iPhone X shots look a little washed out in comparison, looks nice but I'm not sure it's accurate or they've just adapted the over-saturated look of Samsung phones.
 
Hmmm, this or the mi mix 2? Both sound the same price and specs. Mix looks a little more 'interesting' though as I currently have nexus 6 and this looks the same nearly lol
