A group of XDA developers have confirmed that OnePlus and Meizu are cheating on benchmarks. OnePlus has even admitted as much and promises to not do it in the future.

Do NOT Trust OnePlus 5 Benchmarks in Reviews - How OnePlus Cheated

They did it with OPO3T also. OPO5 with its screen, price, design & speaker sucks. High time people see the bigger picture rather than 6/8 gigs of ram.

GG OnePlus. Did not expect this from them.
And I only thought big multi-national corps like Samsung were only prone to such practices.

Don't they give headphones with the OPO phones?
This is the worst launch of the year.

One plus have gone down the drain. There new One plus 5 is over priced for the feature they provide.
They are now becoming synonyms with the mobile giants that they were trying to beat in the first place.
