OnePlus has always been known for their top-tier features and fairly inexpensive, flagship-nature smartphones. Now there are rumors doing the rounds that OP is working on their latest flagship, the OnePlus 5. According to the reports, the upcoming OnePlus 5 will come with a dual curved screen.
For people wondering why there was no OnePlus 4, it is because the number 4 is considered an unlucky number because it is homophonous to the word “death” or “decease” (æ» pinyin sÇ).
This means the successor of the OnePlus 3T will be OnePlus 5 and not OnePlus 4. Like its predecessor, the company is going to release this phone with high-end specs. Latest rumor has it that the upcoming OnePlus 5 will have 8GB of RAM which is close to double the amount of RAM found in other flagship phones.
Other specs which were leaked were regarding the processor and other basic features of this device. The phone is stated to be powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset which is used in the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy S8.
With reduced bezels, the OnePlus 5 will have a display of 1440 x 2560 resolution. This means the resolution is better than previous OnePlus devices which had 1080 x 1920 (FHD) on them. Some leaks have also stated that they can expect a dual-camera setup on the device.
The dual-camera trend has become the newest feature in many upcoming phones. OnePlus 5 has a different setup, however. It will be vertical instead of horizontal like other phones. The release has not yet been officially confirmed by OnePlus, but it is expected to be launched in the second half of this year.
However, all of these speculations are based on leaks, hence should be taken along with a grain of salt.
