The glimpses of the phone we’ve received are impressive and OnePlus fans are waiting to get their hands on the next OnePlus device that will revolutionize mobile computing.
Here’s everything you need to know about the OnePlus 5 launch, release date, specs, and features.
OnePlus seems to be retracing its steps with the launch of the OnePlus 5. They will bring back the invitation system that they had left aside for the launch of the OnePlus 3 and 3T.
The specifications and features of the phone are designed to impress and the speculative features of this super phone are doing just that. Its fast, high-speed processor, Android Nougat OS, fingerprint sensor built into the home button, large storage option, and large battery capacity give the phone what it needs to take on computers. and beat them at their own game.
Now let’s dive into its specifications:
The OnePlus 5 will house a Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 Octa-core processor running at a frequency of 4×2.45 GHz Kryo and 4×1.9 GHz Kryo along with an Adreno 540 GPU for enhanced visuals in high graphic content. Android Nougat is the icing on the cake as it allows its users to seamlessly switch between apps and utilize the multi-tab option in the best way.
The phone will be presented in two variants. One of them would have 6 GB of RAM with 64 GB of internal storage and the last one would house an 8 GB of RAM unit with 128 GB of internal memory.
The presence of a reliable storage slot has not yet been confirmed; however, there are strong reasons to believe that OnePlus 5 will not feature expandable storage at least in this variant. After paying a hefty price for the phone, we’re not sure how users would react to the same old 64GB storage that was around since the start of Oneplus in India.
OnePlus will feature a dual rear camera and it looks like one of the most powerful in the smartphone race so far. On the back it has a 20+16MP main camera with Dual LED flash. Phase detection autofocus, 2x optical zoom, 1/2.8″ sensor size, 1.12 µm @ 16MP and 1/2.8″ sensor size, 1.0 µm @ 20MP, geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, HDR and panorama are some of the features that the camera boasts.
The selfie camera on this one is a powerful 16MP f/2.0 aperture camera that has Auto HDR, built-in EIS (gyroscope), and effortlessly shoots 1080p video.
The OnePlus 5’s battery is a 3,300mAh unit that is aided by Dash Charge. The battery seems underpowered in terms of numbers, but the Nano processor used is designed to consume less power, giving longer battery life with smaller units.
This 5.5-inch phone will feature an Optic AMOLED display with a pixel density of 401 ppi. This superstructure is protected against external damage by a unit of Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
The downsides of this phone so far are that the phone is not waterproof or dustproof. The battery unit seems small and the memory seems inadequate. That said, we’d have to wait for the release and see how the hidden magic unfolds.
