OnePlus has long been rumoured to be working on their 2017 flagship, dubbed OnePlus 5. The company took to Weibo to confirm the news recently and OnePlus CEO Pete Lau re-blogged the post, thereby further acknowledging the arriving smartphone. The post was accompanied by an image and hashtag “Never Settle.”
However, the post doesn’t reveal much about the device’s specifications.
In the past, several reports have suggested that the company will skip the number 4, as it is believed to be unlucky. The smartphone was even apparently spotted on a Chinese mobile regulation website with the codename: A5000. Thus, it was assumed that the smartphone will be called OnePlus 5. The smartphone is expected to arrive anytime in the next two months.
As for the specifications, the OnePlus 5 device is rumoured to sport a dual-camera setup on the curved rear panel with 16MP wide-angle sensors. The device is said to sport a 7mm thick body and a dual-edge 5.5-inch screen with QHD pixel resolution. OnePlus 5 will apparently be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 SoC and will offer either 6GB or 8GB of RAM.
Furthermore, the device will likely run on Android’s latest Nougat version and may pack at least 4,000mAh battery power.
