OnePlus 5
Company’s next flagship, thought to be called OnePlus 5, is one of the most talked about devices right now in the rumor mill. With OnePlus sharing a message dubbed Hello 5 on its Weibo account, it’s become safe to assume that it will skip the 4 moniker, and would launch OnePlus 5 directly after OnePlus 3 (yes, it does have a 3T, which is its 4th device in main flagship series).
The OnePlus 5 specs became known today thanks to AnTuTu leak, which reveals that it would sport Snapdragon 835 processor with Adreno 540 GPU, 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, 5.5″ Full HD display, Android 7.1.1, and 16MP camera both at front and back.
We think there is a high-end variant of OnePlus 5 in the works too, which would boast 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 5.5″ Quad HD display and perhaps, dual camera at back.
