this year's anticipated oneplus release goes up against a comeback story for Samsung this is Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody and this is a quick look at the oneplus 5 versus the Samsung Galaxy S H Ron has completed his full review of the one plus 5 so make sure to check it out in the card and in the description below for now however I will be bringing you some quick rundowns between the oneplus five and a couple of its competitors with full of comparisons to come later users of the galaxy s 8 will probably point to its design as the best part of the phone the infinity display is definitely a sight to behold not just because of its curved sides that allow for easier handling but also because it is nearly free of bezel the result has been an enjoyable eighteen point five to nine ratio display a quad HD resolution that looks good in its skin and though the home button might have gone away it does get an extra input the Bigsby button speaking of extra inputs oneplus returns its highly tactile and useful alert slider to the 1 + 5 in a body that is slightly different from before and has its own share of controversy we won't go as far to say that the oneplus 5 looks very much like the iPhone 7 but we do recognize a couple of the cues that it took from an iOS competitor mainly the antenna lines and of course the dual camera up front the phone is still decidedly 1 plus with a capacitive array that includes a home button and fingerprint combo underneath the 1080p display the display puts the galaxy s 8 above the oneplus in the handling Department but also on paper it is the higher powered panel the SI display is already bigger than the 5.5 inch flat panel on the oneplus but the oneplus 5 still rocks the AMOLED 1080p display well in terms of features our our number of swipes and gestures that can be done in standby to fire up the camera and other shortcuts one of my favorites however is the reading mode basically like a Kindle it will desaturate the display to make it more comfortable for reading as a Kindle user I will be testing this feature further against the e-reader but I already enjoyed switching to the reading mode for longer sessions it's nice to have on the oneplus 5 since it doesn't support a couple of the more useful Samsung display features like the edge UX or the always-on display under the hood power is definitely not wanting as the snapdragon 835 powers either of these phones and the latest 16o makes an appearance depending on your market for Samsung despite its global reach oneplus is actually taking a page out of an increasing the common Chinese phone spec book by giving not only more than four gigabytes of RAM but super high capacity storage the highest spec phone of the bunch will have eight gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage for a price that is less than either of the Galaxy S eight phones and of course it all powers the different pieces of software for either phone Samsung's UX has definitely slimmed down in more recent iterations and it is still the future rich and sometimes redundant user experience that can get bogged down by its own capabilities Samsung Apps accompany the already existing Google app ecosystem for example with Bigsby and Samsung notes sitting right alongside Google assistant and Google Drive applications for our full versus in the future we'll be looking at the updates to big speed in which voice input and better vision recognition are part of the menu on the other hand oxygen OS reaches its latest edition and brings new get like look and feel but also some of one pluses on flavors the Shelf returns and is still a nice place to put ones widgets so that they're out of the way and we mentioned the gestures and display features from before there isn't too much else to this updated version that is overtly different but that might play to the strengths of the underdog competitor after all we are proponent to buying phones that have the features we will definitely use instead of the features we will never touch after the initial setup which finally brings us to the camera as I mentioned before a fuller versus comparison will happen and that will include picture analysis for now we will highlight the fact that the Galaxy S a is one of the flagships this year that is missing the increasingly key addition a secondary camera the oneplus 5 manages to tug a 20 megapixel 2x zoom telephoto lens right next to its 16 megapixel main shooter in order to bring its own version of zoom and portrait mode to Android masses the result is a picture experience that remains very familiar it's a previous software meaning that swipes and minimal prices on the viewfinder are par for the course we really like the manual pro mode however which uses a toggle for raw capture and even includes a histogram portrait mode is sure to be a hit among 1+5 users as the combination of zoom high resolution capture and software bouquet effects will make capturing new profile pictures pretty damn easy compare this to the samsung camera which is a fixed 12 megapixel dual pixel camera that is similar to last year's well-received shooters from the s7 and the note 7 there is little to complain about for good point and shoot abilities those Samsung makes sure to put in a bunch of features and its own pro mode the front-facing camera here is one of the only shooters to include autofocus but then again oneplus is trying to up the selfie game by making their front-facing shooter a whopping 16 megapixel monster again we will be making comparisons in our upcoming versus putting these two camera combos against one another and with that we hope that you've got a quick but good glance at what these two phones have to offer the one plus five is available for a lesser price outright making it the appealing choice for anyone that wants to go outside the typical flagship spectrum especially after Bigsby finally properly arrives we will have an even more in-depth look at this phone soon so stay tuned for that and watch lawns review in the meantime to get all you need of the 1+5 keep it tuned to Android Authority for even more about the one
