OnePlus 5 was launched in India in June 2017 and the device took the markets with a storm. However, the journey so far has not been a smooth one for the brand. It had to overcome the hurdle of 911 bug and some serious issue related to performance while gaming after the recent update of its Oxygen OS.

OnePlus resolved the issues promptly which is rather commendable. The OnePlus 5 Soft Gold variant will witness a quick grab from consumers given the popularity of the brand.
