Which of these OnePlus 5 prototypes do you like most?
August 16, 2025
TheOnePlus 5has been leaking out like crazy over the past couple weeks, and we’ve even receivedan official look at the devicestraight from the company. Now we’re justone day awayfrom the official unveiling, and OnePlus is now being a little more lenient on what information is getting out to the public.
The Vergerecently got the chance to visit OnePlus’ facilities in Shenzhen, China to get a closer look at the OnePlus 5, and what exactly went into the design this time around.

It’s no secret that OnePlus’ next major flagship will come with a dual-camera setup, which is actually a first for the China-based company. Completely overhauling the camera setup isn’t an easy task though, which means OnePlus had to go through a lot of trial and error before it landed on a design that worked. The company actually showed off a number of its OnePlus 5 prototypes toThe Verge, which you can see in the image attached above.
As you can see, OnePlus went a bunch of different routes here. You might notice a few iPhone 7 Plus-like prototypes, as well as someHUAWEI P10copycats on the right. You can even seethat OnePlus 5 prototypethat we leaked a few months ago in the middle.

Personally, I’m a big fan of the white prototype at the top left corner… maybe just because it’s the most unique one. What about you? Are you liking the look of the OnePlus 5 so far, or do you think the companycould have innovated a bit moreon the design front?
