The best OnePlus 5 deals in July 2017
OnePlus is the company that challenges the received wisdom that there are no phones worth looking at outside of the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. Its new arrival – the much anticipated OnePlus 5 – is now available and we can tell you how to get the best deals if you want to snap one up.
O2 has secured the exclusive distribution on contract, with monthly tariffs starting at £35. That's not exactly cheap when compared to other flagship Android smartphones, so you might have to wait until Black Friday 2017 to bag a real bargain.
But then the OnePlus 5 is one of the very best Android phones on the market, with its pair of fantastic cameras, 6GB Ram and generous onboard storage. Read more about the OnePlus 5 here, or continue the hunt for your perfect handset with our mobile phone deals guide.
