In our previous reports,
we stated that OnePlus would be skipping the “4” in the next flagship
as the number is considered unlucky in China. Thus, the OnePlus 3T’s
successor might be christened the OnePlus 5. According to a new report
from KoreaPortal, the company is likely to announced the device in the
later half of Q2. It is speculated that the OnePlus flagship will be
packing more RAM and come in 64 GB and 128 GB variants while featuring
support for expansion via microSD. A first for the company’s flagship devices if that is indeed the case.
The
design of the OnePlus 5 is supposed to take on design cues from the
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, with a curved 2.5D display and an aluminium and
glass based chassis. The same source also claims that it sports a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 chipset. Please note that no such chipset has
been announced by Qualcomm, so it is speculative that it will either be
powered by a Snapdragon 821 or the newer 835 chipset. Although this
might mean further delay in its appearance as the initial batch of the
latter were earmarked for the Samsung Galaxy S8 (and S8+) serial
production. The device will reportedly be running the latest flavour of
Android, v7.0, Nougat with the light OxygenOS skin with added quality of
life features.
With regards to its
camera, the OnePlus 5 is likely to retain its predecessor’s front camera
while updating the rear camera to a 23-megapixel package. It is also
said to be running off of a 4000mAh battery with Dash Charge support
with a USB-C interface for peripheral connectivity and charging. As we
can see there are plenty of inconsistencies in this leak with mentions
of a Snapdragon 830 chipset which has not been announced till now. Hence
we urge readers to hold out till more accurate information comes about.
