Christmas cheer is here for iPhone X.

As we mentioned, the OnePlus 5 will soon become the company's second smartphone to get the Face Unlock feature. OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei made the OnePlus 3.

for Face Unlock is easier to extend to older smartphones as the feature is based majorly on software, unlike Apple's Face ID that uses various sensors to achieve techniques like depth mapping and laser projection. This means that Oneplus' take on facial recognition is not as secure as Apple's, but it's more flexible and faster.

The OnePlus 5 also got the OxygenOS 5.0 update recently. This beta 2 builds were rolled out for the phone. The OxygenOS 5.0 update has features like an upgraded, customisable launcher, a facelift for the default Camera app, and a new 'Places' tab for the Gallery tab.

Apart from the proprietary features, it also brings Android Oreo's core features like new Picture-in-Picture mode, Smart text selection, and Auto-fill feature among others.

To recap, the OnePlus 5 sports a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Optic AMOLED display. The smartphone is powered by the 1.9GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, coupled with a maximum of 8GB RAM and 128GB inbuilt storage.
