The Verdict
Calling the OnePlus 5 as the "iPhone 7 killer" is an understatement. I think it should be rather called as the "killer for all flagship smartphones" simply because of the specs that this amazing smartphone is carrying and also its expected price range.
If these were really its specs and the price range it will be at, then I would personally choose the OnePlus 5 over any premium smartphone for 2017. With that being said, I personally think that the OnePlus 5 has the better rumored specs over the Nokia P1.
