Well, it had to come eventually.

OnePlus India recently announced that the DxOMark Mobile score for the OnePlus 5 is coming soon, which is not surprising given that they did announce a partnership with DxO Labs for working on the camera.

Personally, I'm expecting the camera to land somewhere around 83-84. The OP5's camera is definitely capable of nice shots, but compared to the top-tier competition, it does fall short in some areas, so I find that scoring to be pretty realistic.

I hope DxO maintains an unbiased and objective nature in their review.

UPDATE: Score released.

It scored 87, on-par with offerings like Huawei's P10 and a hair behind Samsung's Galaxy S8.

8.4 out of 10 hardly sounds terrible...
It's not.

The OP5 camera isn't terrible and is capable of nice shots.

Somewhere around 84 is realistic because its downsides compared to the high-score offerings like the Pixel and U11 are pretty clearcut.

I will have to question DxO's methodology and review nature if the OP5 scores anywhere near 88 or 90. Because it's simply not that good to warrant a score as high as that of premium devices.
 
Interestingly enough, they seem to have added up their scores wrong.

Theres no way it scored an 87, that's only 1 point behind the s8 and ahead of the iphone 7. Both which have superior cameras in every way.
 
TBH, there's one part of the review that I had serious disagreements with

Sorry, but I can't see how that is excellent performance. Honestly looks mediocre.

In the first of those comparisons they make (on the portrait), to me personally, OP5 is better than Pixel but S8 is better. This is the one with the comment "Fine detail preservation in outdoor and bright-light shots is excellent and on par with some of the best performers we’ve tested, such as the Samsung S8, iPhone 7 and Google Pixel"

Rest of the review is on par with what I have experienced.

Though, I would really question the fact that it lacks OIS and has to yet push out EIS, will that count for 87? I would cut at least 5 points down to 82 just for that as that affects my low light shots and 4k video. This raises a question, how the hell did DXoMark review the 4k video - that is one of the worst without EIS, or did they get an updated software with EIS enabled for 4k video?

The points are just scaling a set of measurements on a 1 to 100 scale, so each category is a set of measurements. They aren't able to just arbitrarily award points or deduct points.
