OnePlus 5 launching this summer

The smartphone will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 clocked at 2.3 GHz coupled with 8 GB RAM.

Earlier this month, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that OnePlus is working on something big and OnePlus 5 was confirmed to be in the works. Now as per a new report surfacing online, OnePlus 5 will be unveiled this summer.

OnePlus has confirmed The Verge that its next flagship smartphone will be launched in the summer of 2017. This phone will be a successor to OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T that were launched last year. OnePlus will skip the number 4 when it comes to their next flagship device mainly because it (No. 4) resembles the symbol of death in China. But there is also an interesting story behind the number 5. OnePlus has revealed that since the 5 is thejersey number of a former NBA player Robert Horry, who is considered a favourite among many employees of OnePlus, the company have chosen number 5.

Also, popular leakster, Evan Blass on twitter revealed some alleged specifications of OnePlus 5. As per his tweet, OnePlus 5 will feature a 5.5 inches display with a pixel resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. It will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 clocked at 2.3 GHz coupled with 8 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage and an expandable memory of 128GB via card slot.
