Before OnePlus 5 was officially introduced, Carl Pei, Co-Founder of OnePlus was inundated with questions and criticism about the similarity of the smartphone with the iPhone 7 Plus. Through his Twitter account, he responds to the criticisms casually.
According to him, before OnePlus 3 was launched, he was also flooded with criticism because it is considered similar to the design of HTC 10 and Samsung Galaxy S6. But the criticism stalled once the smartphone was launched in the market.
“Someone remembers the noise about the design of OnePlus 3 before it launches? The noise is stopped once people have it,” Pei said.
