Plus: it looks nice, has a headphone jack, and offers a 128GB with 8GB RAM option.<p>Minus: camera that should be much better, no SDCARD... and (IMHO) worse of all: NO REMOVABLE BATTERY %@$#<p>What's really annoys me is that - so far - the reviews I seen even don't even mention the battery is non-removable.<p>Sigh.<p>So I take it we've now just given up and have lost that battle. I had really hoped the Samsung issue would have reset this debate.<p>(one such review here: <a href="http://mashable.com/2017/06/20/oneplus-5-review" rel="nofollow">http://mashable.com/2017/06/20/oneplus-5-review</a>)
I saw two mainstream reviews of this so far. The first liked the new camera setup. The second said it was awful.<p>Still waiting for answers to my two personal big questions:<p>1. Will any of the other major brands offer a similarly high-spec, dual SIM phone in the UK in the immediate future?<p>2. What is the security and privacy situation with a OnePlus 5 running their version of Android?<p>If I want a good quality, dual SIM phone so work + personal can be in the same device, and I want the camera/video functionality and Internet/browser functionality, and otherwise I really care very little about any sort of apps or cloud-based anything and would actively prefer something simpler with more privacy and security, is this currently the best option on the market?
Sharing images and video is a primary function of the phone, these days.<p>Phones like this one keep missing the ball, on this feature point.<p>Seriously, in such social media, what other people see isn't how fast your phone runs or how many apps it can juggle. It's your images and video.
