OnePlus has just recently launched the OnePlus 5 which is the flagship smartphone from the company for this year after the OnePlus 3/T was launched last year. The OnePlus 5 has been already out and the sale of the smartphone will start in the US on June 27 for $479 and $539 for 6GB and 8GB variants respectively.

The sales of the smartphone were first held in India on June 22 on the launch day on Amazon.in and now the smartphone will be available once again on June 27 and June 28.
However, as the OnePlus 5 has gotten into the hands of potential customers, we are seeing some problems on the phone. There has been a thread that has been started on the OnePlus forums where a user of the OnePlus 5 smartphone has been complaining about the battery drain issue on the recently bought OnePlus 5 smartphone. The user named Rituraj Mishra says that the battery has been draining after the latest update which came to the OnePlus 5. Now, if we take a look at the evidence he has put on the forum like screenshots of the battery page of his phone’s settings we can see that the battery is indeed draining quite fast.
