OnePlus is expected to skip a moniker and launch the OnePlus 5 smartphone this year, as the Chinese culture considers four as a portent. The OnePlus 5 has been leaked in the past, and a fresh leak suggests sheds more light on the specifications of the smartphone.
According to Chinese site PCPop, the OnePlus 5 is expected to pack 8GB of RAM and will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. The report states that the smartphone will sport hardware navigation keys, although the bezel will be slimmer than the predecessor. Because of more display real estate, the fingerprint scanner will be housed at the back of the smartphone, and the OnePlus 5 will be 7mm thin as well, slightly slimmer than the predecessor.
The report also states that the OnePlus 5 will sport a 5.5-inch 2K display (1080×2048 pixels), and the camera will sport a 23-megapixel sensor at the back. Furthermore, the camera will support features like optical image stabilisation, zoom, and fast flash.
OnePlus recently courted trouble with Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) on its latest Amitabh Bachchan starring ad, which Sony argues is modelled after its KBC IP. The company has got a stay order from Delhi HC over SPN’s claims of copyright infringement.
