OnePlus 5, the Chinese company's new flagship smartphone, was launched on Tuesday, and it has hit a milestone within a day of launch.

Carl Pei, OnePlus Co-Founder, has revealed that the new OnePlus 5 smartphone has become the fastest selling OnePlus device ever. Unfortunately, Pei hasn't shared any numbers to support his claim but is likely that it's based on the response OnePlus 5 has received in pre-orders. Soon after the launch, OnePlus 5 was up for pre-orders in select regions with an Early Drop system which will see shipments begin on Wednesday itself. "The first numbers are in, the OnePlus 5 is our fastest selling device ever," Pei wrote in a tweet.

To refresh on the specifications, the OnePlus 5 features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Optic AMOLED display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 5 and runs OxygenOS based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
