Large Aperture:

DASH Charge:
One Plus 5 has an enormous juice packed in it which is 3300 mAh. But if it runs out no user have to worry due to its DASH charge. DASH charging system is the fastest in the flagship market. Faster than the likes of Samsung, Apple, etc. DASH Charge produces a larger electric current rather than increasing pressure for stable, consistent charging speeds. Other quick charging technologies heat up your phone, leading to slowed charging speeds and poor performance. With DASH Charge, your OnePlus 5 stays cool, and charging doesn’t slow down.

- Faster storage: You’ll have plenty of room for photos, apps, and files with up to 128GB of onboard storage. And because the OnePlus 5 features new dual-lane technology, overall performance is faster.
