Where apps break on the OnePlus 5
OxygenOS stuck on an old ceiling
The OnePlus 5 tops out at Android 10 / OxygenOS 10. Test modern features gracefully degrade and that 'unsupported OS' paths behave on this ceiling build.
1080p AMOLED true-black dark mode
On its Optic AMOLED, pure-black backgrounds reveal overlays, dividers and disabled states invisible on an LCD. Give dark mode a dedicated contrast pass.
Smaller 5.5-inch 16:9 viewport
A shorter 16:9 screen, unlike today's tall panels. Layouts tuned for 20:9 can crowd or leave gaps here — verify fit and that bottom sheets aren't cut off.
OxygenOS battery optimisation
OxygenOS can put apps into deep optimisation, delaying background sync and push. Test delivery after the app sits idle.

Testing on the OnePlus 5
Can I test my app on a OnePlus 5 with 99tests?
Yes. When you book, set the OnePlus 5 as a target device. A few active 99tests testers still own one, and we'll match you with a tester on their own phone and SIM.
Do you test on a real OnePlus 5 or an emulator?
A real one — a tester's own OnePlus 5, on their own SIM and network. The quirks of this older device and its software don't reproduce on an emulator, a simulator or a stock-device cloud.
Which software version will the OnePlus 5 be on?
Testers use their own device with the updates they've installed. The OnePlus 5 launched with Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OxygenOS. Its last update was Android 10 with OxygenOS 10, so units are now on an unsupported build. Every finding in the report records the exact device, OS build and network.
How much does a test run cost?
Fixed packages from ₹9,999 + GST ($129) for 5 × 45-minute sessions on 2 phones or browsers, with a verified report in 3 business days. You can mix the OnePlus 5 with other devices in one run.
Why test on a 16:9 flagship from 2017?
Power users keep these for years. The 16:9 aspect ratio and the old OxygenOS ceiling surface layout and compatibility issues your newer test phones hide.
