[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
several tests have shown that is water resistant/proof. they didn't get the IP68 certification (for unknown reasons), but many people have dropped theirs under water and it comes out fine.

i suspect they didn't get this certification because of a small detail required for it.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Pro4TLZZ:
Those several tests are not done in a professional manner or tested over long term
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] WaxysDargle:
not arguing that. but, if you can drop it in a bucket of water and let it sit there, it is at least water resistant in my eyes. if someone is repeatedly dropping their phone in water, they clearly have no respect for the technology.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] SDee96:
Please let us know how you achieved this :D
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Keeping my phone light, so no facebook, snapchat no crappy apps that push ads to my phone when they're not in use, i never overcharge my phone.

Running the latest fusion rom with lightening kernel, I haven't tweaked the kernel from stock installation.

Running Greenify but beyond that I have done nothing to make the phone prolong it's battery, I wasn't attempting to make the phone last a long time it just happened.

I always also don't have any free apps if they have adverts in them always opting for the paid for version of each app, it's more expensive but it helps in the long run.

Also any apps which I've identified as being battery hogs, more recently the amazon Alexa app, I remove them until I need it again, I have nothing on my phone which I don't need.

Beyond that everything is standard :)

Good and impressive results :)

Loving it
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Hubird:
Random reboots, common problem (Google it).

I'd seriously think twice before buying another Oneplus device
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] TheGripper:
Never heard of this
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
I haven't had a single random reboot since launch day and I've flashed nearly every ROM there is..

I've also not heard of anyone else having this problem, certainly not in abundance.

This is not a widespread problem, do you own the device ?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] lun471k:
I had two random reboots, that I mainly explain on the fact that the device was tighlty pressed between my and some heavy object (a good old wooden piano). So I'm pretty sure it was caused by the fact that the Power button was pressed and held for a few seconds in my pocket.

For the love factor, I was slightly sad to see how bad the picture quality was compared to my older Nexus 5X. I'm not saying the pictures are terrible, but the lack of stabilization and the overall quality of the pictures coming from my 5X are still better than my Pro Mode pictures from my OP5. Also, night or low light is a pain and pictures are terrible. Then again, I'm an enthusiast photographer, so it's probably good enough for most people.

I also miss the instant updates coming from Google.

Cost me a total of $800 CAD taking shipping, taxes and a case and the glass screen protector from OnePlus into account. The 5X cost me $650 brand new.

In all other fields I just love the device.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Feedmeeeee:
I love this phone.. since 4 months im using this beast and seems i cant tell how love that phone you have to use it first.. i specially loving fingerprint it looks like there is no lock on phone i mean you cant see it its fast like unlocked "lockscreen" and camera is pretty enough for me capturing really good pictures.. i can suggest Oneplus 5 to everyone who want fast stable phone.. and if someone still have doubts about jelly effect let me tell you something.. i was like u really i was have doubts and really hard doubts actually i just wanted a good phone like everyone who spent 500 bucks so after 1 week i guess maybe 3 days i dont know you cant see JELLY EFFECT there is no jelly effect i cant recognize it if i dont look specially to it so you have to be stupid if you want to look it.. End of word im loving this superb crazy maniac awesome phone thanks everyone :svetius: and im not paid for that words :D
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hallo dare:
Selling mine if anyone wants it!
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] hallo dare:
I was suffering from the same issue until a good guy on here recommended i use magisk 14.2 instead of the latest version. Happy days ever since. Mobile reception is garbage for me.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Future32:
Great phone. Best I ever had.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] mesco38:
Good overall device.

Insane performances and battery life, no equivalent smartphone imho.

Bad photography, especially post-treatment and bad speaker, it should be forbidden a speaker as wack as that.

Some features I miss (from Nexus6) :

- Dual stereo speakers (OP5 speaker is sooo wack)

- Plastic or grounded-glass body back (wireless charging)

- QuadHD screen

- headphones included
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] AnabolicAndroidz:
3 out of 5

It was fun at first, but already getting a bit bored of it to be honest.

Does the job though.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dego_:
+ to that. never had a single reboot since I bought it. running all stock though.

In general the phone is great. It just works. But i would trade it for a smaller Oneplus (up to 5") if they could produce it. Too bad we are surrounded by phablets only these days.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] valkaizer2594:
1yr down

honestly the best phone experience i've every received :)

official support

overall a 10/10 package
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Dave_247:
I will forever love this this phone for the simple fact that it goes above and beyond what a mid range phone is and can do.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dazoe:
This is the best smart phone I've ever had. Battery life, performance, and price. I tried moving to another but I came back quickly. From my point of view the competition is just catching up and are charging twice as much if not more.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] scoon1329:
Yes

Yup love this phone!

I dropped my first one in the toilet recently... Yeah I know...

Just about managed to dry it out properly after taking it apart, but I bought a second hand back up just in case.

The 7 is way too pricey at the moment and I just can't see what it would give me that I need, that the 5 doesn't already do.

Plus now I have a spare I can root and mess around with. Win win! :laugh:
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kriszg:
Third year with Oneplus 5 and still love it. I had a little romance with Redmi K20 pro but my heart pulled me back to Oneplus.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Been a while since I sold my OnePlus for a P20 pro, only thing I wanted was a camera with better stability (ois)

Performance wise the 1+5 was so much faster, better battery, better development, superb phone, just the camera let it down for me, if they'd have added ois then I'd still be using it.

Oneplus 8 for me next I think.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Jyjec:
I still love my OnePlus 5, still very quick and I've had it for 2.5 years now. Best smart phone I've ever owned.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
I can only agree, swapped mine for a MontBlanc summit watch, £900 watch, brand new.

Watch is now broke, still miss my OnePlus ;)

[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] lovesounds1607:
My old phone which I had to replace as it got smashed had a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 821 and I though that was fast until I got a OnePlus+ 5 which is in another league.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] DSF:
Well, i am impressed by the overall speed and snapiness (coming from an exynos galaxy s7).

This thing can handle much without overheating! (A nightmare for galaxy s users)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] nktwister:
I simply love my experience so far with my OP5.. It is fluid, fast especially considering Android, bright screen, lightning fingerprint.. Coming from s7 edge only 2 months old which was so laggy after installing all the apps.. Hope Android O and other releases allows us to stay smooth and save battery, I may not change my phone for a year (can't say for longer [emoji16])
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dkryder:
for me the backups in twrp and titanium are noticeably faster as is a normal boot. i have yet to get rid of encryption but i think that will add further performance increase.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] fahadasad:
Looks like i am the only one from "humble" beginnings here. ??. I had a A5 2015 , i thought it was good and not that slow , i was gonna buy s8+ but then i saw op5 and omg its soooo much faster than a5 i am glad i bought oneplus .
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] siorek11:
I had a Nexus 6 before with overlocked CPU custom Kernel and lineage os on the board, oneplus 5 everything stock, no root, is insanely faster and the battery is much better, i lovee this phone

Blazing fast

Compared to all the flagships I have ever had my hands on, the OnePlus 5 is the best of all, HTC U11 is very simillar in terms of overall performance.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Deposse:
Hehe nice quote there 'Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?'.

Any way, I have the OP2 and some of my colleagues and friends have OP5.

When i used it for the first time, it was like you drive a brand new car..

The fingerprint is much fast and recognizes allmost 99 percent of the time.

After checking benchmarks on it, i was totally in love so i diceded to buy him ASAP.

Actually at this moment i'm waiting because there are rumours of a new version with extended battery etc..
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] tattoo_gaz:
8gb RAM version is quick. Really quick.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] 3polxin:
I'd love to try using one plus 5 which is said to have great speed. However, I am still confused to use it, while I still have galaxy s8 phones, which memilliki OS and spare parts are no less far away with others.

Thank you,

It's obviously going to be rapid :) clever way to get a highly rated thread though :D

Lol jokes aside, the Oneplus will beat 99% of all phones in all instances, in fact I'd be surprised if it's slower than any device, maybe a freshly bought iPhone? S8 isn't quicker in any regard.

I see no 'jelly screen'. Then again, I'm an old guy and I rely pretty firmly upon my progressive lenses.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] lovesounds1607:
None of the jelly problems with my OnePlus+ 5 running the latest OS
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] woundman:
Scrolling smoothness is really nice on the 5. If you want a really smooth experience, change your CPU governors to OnDemand from interactive. The difference is very noticeable.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] gonsa:
can we do that on the stock kernel?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Eric214:
Yep. I use the ex kernel manager and on stock rom with stock kernel. I have like 5 or so options for governor.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] MrWilsonxD:
One thing I've noticed with these last few builds.. if you have an app in app locker, there's frame drops and stutters if you scroll through in your recents..
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] yuanfang1992:
I've found same event. Then i chose to adjust animation scale to 0.5 or 0. Which makes it much better.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
No changes to animation speed, no changes to kernel or governor and have seen no jelly effect, this only affects a very small number of devices, I've had two Oneplus devices, bought one on launch at midnight then lost it four days later, ordered another and got it three days later, no jelly effect whatsoever.

The speed of this phone is insane.

Apps can lag that correct but only because of the app or the content, so for example a half loaded chrome page can lag, that has nothing to do with the phone at all my PC which is worth over £4000 can lag on webpages if they haven't loaded properly, it's not the hardware.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] 8hodgsonkh:
The jelly effect is there in all phones...just some people dont notice it
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Yea its not mate. I'm not blind. I have perfect vision. Its not visible on either of my phones
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] 8hodgsonkh:
Every op5 has the screen panel upside down...
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Makes no difference, the jelly effect is not present on every device, assuming that everyone has a problem seeing it because you can on your device does not mean that they have defective devices!

I've had two 1+5 devices and neither exhibited this issue, I tested it thoroughly, nothing is present, i recorded it and played it back in slow motion, comparable to any previous device i've ever had it's literally the same.

I did a video next to my HTC, there is no jelly.

Period.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] 8hodgsonkh:
If yours is not defected you should try looking for the effect with your phone upside down if you see the jelly effect upside down its not defective but if you don't it is
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
hahah mate you're missing the point, why would i hold my phone upside down? I appreciate once you've seen your phone has a defect it's impossible to ignore, i personally would make something up and send the bugger back until i got a phone that i couldn't notice it on, it would drive me mental, i don't care if they don't think it's an issue, it's bad if this many people have seen it.

All i'm saying is, I don't have this issue, check my video if you want or provide me with a fool proof test and i'll do it now, if it's me overlooking it then it's something so insignificant that i dont' actually mind, but maybe i would if i saw it.

Sorry i sound like i'm being a **** i'm not mate, but it's not present on either phone i've had, i'm sorry that yours is, funny thing is too a mate of mine just got one and he can't see it either, he mentioned that he did one time when scrolling on the web, but couldn't replicate it? Not sure if it's lag or something?
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] kokerakos:
I haven't notice any of the "jelly effects" ..ok I havent recorded my screen and play the exported video in -x16 speed to check it either..
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] Chrizzter:
Welp, not exactly.

Why? Because its not a hardware flaw, its a "design choice". The Display (of every current OP5 out there right now) is mounted upside down, meaning the direction the phone refreshes its display is from the bottom towards the top.

While this is not a defect or problem from a technical point of view, it can still be perceived by a lot of people, since our brains are usually expecting the panel to refresh from the top towards the bottom. The Jelly comes due to the panel not updating all pixels at once but by line after line instead.. our brain gets used to the bottom of the screen beeing updated later and simply ignores it (very rough explanation but im missing the needed vocab here).. the screen refreshing towards the top the messes with some peoples perception, therefore they notice the "Jelly" aka the lines refreshing last at the top..

This issue is purely caused by our brain expecting the panel to refresh from a different direction, so its simply a matter of getting used to it. I had headaches when using the phone in the first week or so, now I barely notice the Jelly, if at all.

Some, like me, will notice it instantly at first, others might never (Just like the discussions over frame rates, input lag and so on :) ). There are several factors to consider, everyone has a different sensitivity towards stuff like this and in the end, remember, its no hardware flaw, its a design choice and technically present on every OP5.

Unless they decide to either change the way the display refreshes within the Driver or Display Controller (well, that would actually be some serious work and would need cooperation with Samsung due to them producing the Displays and the Drivers, if its possible at all - again, several dependencies here) or change the direction of the screen in a later model, the "Jelly - Issue" will consist.

But hey, you are right in your other post, if you dont see it, be glad about it and dont bother to start looking for the Issue, no point to try to search for flaws that you didnt have for now, be happy with your phone :)

Just trying to clear up some of the confusion :)

Yet, this shouldnt be the topic of this thread, since this is about Scrolling smoothness, which has nothing to do with the Jelly Effect....

---Back to topic---

For me, it hasnt been the smoothest experience to be honest.. while the phone is crazy fast, the overall handling feels very jittery.. Lots of dropped frames, way more than on my Nexus 5 running MIUI.. My N5 and my iPhone 6 feel so much smoother..

Might have to mess with custom kernels and so on a bit more, overall it at least feels smoother than an S8 tho :laugh:
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] dlads:
Yep I do understand how the jelly effect happens, and I understand that "some people" have this gift of being able to see it whilst everyone else "me" are left thinking the world has gone mad.

I've honestly put my two cents in here so many times and it's fallen on deaf ears by the sounds of things so I'm going to leave it, I don't have this effect on my phone, not did I on my previous oneplus five, I have video recordings of the screen in use and this jelly effect does not present itself, I'm sure that with video slowed down even me with my eyes could see it ?

Even if all that were true, if I have to be watching things in slow Mo to see them then I think it's safe to say that it's something that I don't have to worry about.

I also personally don't have lags and glitches on my device, I've also owned more devices than the average shop so i do have a basis for comparison, not only that but I have an unlimited phone supply partly due to where I work, comparing my phone side by side with any top tier device yields no other reason to believe anything other than what I've just written and that's not just me that's my work colleagues seeing the same.

Appreciate that yourself and others see this issue probably more than I.

If you have a fool proof way of me testing my device then please let me know and I'll check, I'll record it and I'll apologise profusely if its present.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] v0 HaVoK 0v:
People are way to focused on the jelly here, I really don't mind it.

What is worse for me is the stuttering. But it's hard to know if it's only me or not as nobody is discussing this, just discussing the jelly.

For me I get a weird stutter at the end of a lot of scrolls, happens more on small scrolls or flings, as it's slowing down I get a little stutter, especially noticeable in the likes of Instagram or YouTube or certain chrome pages like this (xda)
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] abskpr:
Same here bro, jelly scrolling is ignored by eyes after some time but stuttering is clearly visible, especially scrolling webpages in chrome.
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] v0 HaVoK 0v:
OK, here I recorded a video of the problem with stuttering scroll I'm talking about.

Its really annoying and mainly only happens on small things, and worst app I have noticed for it so far is instagram. Conservative governor helps a little bit but its still bad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PCeofCYUek

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PCeofCYUek[/YOUTUBE]
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] DorianX:
Yup I can see what you talking about, the funny thing is that I don't have that stuttering in my device... By the way Conservative governor will not help, you should use Interactive or Ondemand to improve smoothness.

I'm on OOS 4.5.14 + Flash Kernel
[OnePlus 5 Real Life Review] v0 HaVoK 0v:
I'm actually about to try flash kernel right now, hopefully this will help.

So you're saying if you give it small scrolls like I'm doing in the video it doesn't stutter on yours? That's strange if it is device specific, then maybe its hardware.

I don't see how it could be hardware though, its strange, are you completely certain it doesn't happen to yours, if you give it small flings (like in the video I give it a tiny fling with my finger, not touching screen for long, just enough to give it a very small fling) as with bigger scrolls it doesn't seem to happen near as much.

This video was me on OOS 4.5.14 + Lightning Kernel.
