10 Best OnePlus 5 Screen Protectors You Can Buy

OnePlus’ latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 5 is nothing short of stellar, as it manages to put several other flagship smartphones to shame, especially because of the price point. For just $479, you’re getting a smartphone powered by the latest beefy Snapdragon 835 chip, whopping 8 GB of RAM, Optic AMOLED display and a dual camera system to take some beautiful shots. Well, no matter how powerful the hardware is, the most expensive component of a smartphone, is without doubt, its display.

The problem nowadays is that, in almost all of the smartphones available in the market right now, the glass and display panel is laminated to form a single unit. Therefore, if you manage to even slightly crack the Corning Gorilla Glass on your OnePlus 5, you will have to shell out at least 30% of the device’s cost to get the screen replaced.
