OnePlus 5 Review
OnePlus has made a name for itself in a very short period of time. In India, the brand has grown akin to major brands like Samsung, Apple, HTC and Google. Even though it fails to dominate the market, the Chinese smartphone brand is huge on winning consumer trust.
OnePlus had some successful smartphones recently, the latest being OnePlus 5 – which was well-received by consumers and critics. The previous models like OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T were quite successful too in the affordable premium smartphone category.

According to CMR’s Mobile Industry Consumer Insight (MICI) survey, OnePlus is rated the most trusted brand in India, with high scores on various parameters such as loyalty, resale value, and after-sales service among others.
