The OnePlus 5 is said to house a 4000mAh battery with Dash Charge Fast charging support. It will come with a Type-C USB port and with wireless charging. Since it is highly likely that Samsung’s this year’s flagship device, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will include Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, one could also expect that OnePlus might use a Snapdragon 830 Chipset instead, as Samsung is said to have hoarded the initial production of the 835 SoC. OnePlus 5 is said to be running on Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out of the box, and OnePlus OxygenOS UI on top of it.
