Many OnePlus 5[1] early adopters have complained of what they call a "jelly effect[2]" when scrolling through apps and the UI, and now the company says that this is intentional and not a bug or manufacturing defect. The distracting behaviour appears to make content appear to wobble and stretch when a user tries to scroll. Some OnePlus 5 buyers have complained about the issue on several forums, and have speculated about its cause. Now, according to OnePlus[3], "The OnePlus 5 uses the same level of high-quality components as all OnePlus[4] devices, including the AMOLED display. We've received feedback from a small number of users saying that at times they notice a subtle visual effect when scrolling. This is natural and there's no variance in screens between devices." Users will therefore not be able to get it fixed by filing a warranty claim.
On the other hand, it appears as though the device is fairly resilient to liquid damage[5] even though the company has made no claims[6] that it is waterproof or even water resistant. According to multiple reports, the OnePlus 5 has passed dunk tests and liquid immersion in good shape. Users should, of course, take adequate precautions to make sure that their phones are not subjected to unnecessary exposure to liquid which they are not officially certified to withstand, and the company is unlikely to cover water damage under warranty.
