OnePlus had launched the OnePlus 3 smartphone in June 2016. Hence, speculations are rife that the Chinese firm is now preparing to unveil the OnePlus 5 smartphone in June this year. An Indian publication has leaked an image of the rear side of the OnePlus 5 that showcases its dual rear camera setup. It claims that the leaked photo of OnePlus 5 has been acquired from people who have seen the handset.

By looking at the image of OnePlus 5, it can be said the company will continue to use the same design that is available on OnePlus 3T that released in December 2016. Hence, it suggests that a brushed aluminum metallic frame is likely to be available on OnePlus 5 along with rounded corners.

As it can be seen, there is no rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on the phone which hints that it would be probably embedded under the Home button or under the screen at the front. The antenna bands that are present on OnePlus 3T is also present on OnePlus 5. However, they do not appear prominent.

The only major change that can be seen on the rear side of the OnePlus 5 is the dual rear camera setup. The two camera sensors are arranged vertically and below the camera module is a LED flash. Below it is the logo of the company. Since it is a leaked photo, what is seen may not be the final design of OnePlus 5. The company may consider tweaking the design of OnePlus 5 before its launch.

Major Chinese brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, LeEco and so on have launched smartphones with twin rear cameras. Last year’s IPhone 7 Plus is also equipped dual snapper on its rear side. Hence, to stay in competition with these brands, OnePlus is heavily pegged to include a dual rear camera feature on its upcoming flagship. However, there is no information on the specifications of the dual camera lenses.

A leaked image showing the alleged case of OnePlus 5 that had surfaced around two weeks ago features cut-outs for twin rear cameras. However, the cut-outs are for horizontally arranged dual cameras. Also, there is no confirmation on its authenticity.

Rumors have it that the model number of OnePlus 5 is A5000 and it is packed with a 5.5-inch screen. Like the OnePlus 3T, it may carry support for full HD resolution. It is likely to powered by Snapdragon 835 chipset that would be supported by at least 6 GB of RAM. It is speculated to arrive in two storage sizes of 64 GB and 128 GB.

There is no concrete information available on the pricing of OnePlus 5. Like predecessor OnePlus phones, its upcoming flagship will carry aggressive pricing to rival against the Galaxy S8 and Xiaomi Mi 6. The 64 GB and 128 GB OnePlus 3T are respectively priced at $439 and $479. Hence, the starting the price of OnePlus 5 could be lesser than $500.

The post OnePlus 5 Leaked Image Shows Dual Rear Camera, Design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, we reported that the upcoming OnePlus flagship smartphone may carry a model number of A5000 as it has been spotted on the website of the Chinese State Radio Regulation Committee (SRRC). Now, some leaked images of the alleged OnePlus 5 case have appeared to reveal that the flagship phone may come with dual rear cameras.

Sources from China have claimed that the OnePlus 5 will indeed arrive with a dual rear camera setup and what we see here are the first images of its protective case. However, we advise our readers to take this rumor with a pinch of salt because the alleged OnePlus 5 case appears quite generic and there is no information available yet on the design of the OnePlus 5 smartphone.

Leading Chinese smartphone brands like Huawei, Vivo, and LeEco are now selling phones with dual rear cameras. Xiaomi too is expected to introduce dual rear camera on Xiaomi Mi 6. Having a twin rear camera feature would certainly allow the OnePlus to rival these brands in the camera department.

The rumor mill has revealed that OnePlus may skip OnePlus 4 moniker for its upcoming flagship as the number 4 is a bad omen in the home country. Hence, the next flagship phone may launch as OnePlus 5. The OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T smartphones have respective model numbers of A3000 and A3010. Since the A5000 model number has now been spotted, it seems that there won’t be any OnePlus 4 as the company may launch its next flagship as OnePlus 5.

The rumor mill has revealed that the OnePlus 5 would be coming with a 5.5-inch screen with reduced bezels. It could be the first OnePlus smartphone to come with support for quad HD resolution. The Snapdragon 835 is expected to give power to the OnePlus 5 along with a mammoth 8 GB RAM. It will be running on Android Nougat OS customized with OxygenOS UI from OnePlus

The OnePlus 3T is priced at $439 for 64 GB model and $479 for 128 GB model. Speculations surrounding OnePlus 5 hint that it may be priced under $500. The smartphone is pegged to debut in June or July this year.

OnePlus 3T, that debuted in December 2016 as an updated edition of OnePlus 3, comes in two colors like Gunmetal and Soft Gold for its 64 GB model. Its 128 GB variant can be availed in Gunmetal color only. It seems that the company will be introducing a new blue color option for its existing flagship phone. The official tweet suggests that the company would be announcing it on March 15.

The tweet with blue background has the date mentioned in American format and below it are the logos for OnePlus and Colette Paris, a well-known fashion and accessory manufacturer. It suggests that OnePlus may announce a stylish blue variant for OnePlus 3T.

Since the 128 GB OnePlus 3T comes in only Gunmetal color option, there is a possibility that the rumored blue colored variant may be exclusive to this storage model.  Other rumors hint that both the companies may have collaborated to announce some kind of accessory.

In the last week, well-known smartphone industry leaker, Evan Blass had revealed a new wallpaper that carried the text “Never Settle,” which is the company’s signature line. It indicated that the company would be making a new announcement soon. The new tweet that reveals that OnePlus will make an announcement tomorrow does not seem to have any connection with the leaked image.

Since OnePlus is reportedly going to announce its new flagship smartphone in June, some sources have claimed that the leaked image hints the arrival of OnePlus 5. Rumors have it that as the number 4 is considered bad omen in China, OnePlus would be skipping the number and launching its next flagship with OnePlus 5 moniker.

OnePlus 5 is expected to feature 5.5-inch dual-edge curved screen with Snapdragon 835 and 6 GB of RAM under its hood.  Other rumored specs include 64 GB and 128 GB storage option, a microSD card slot, 23-megapixel rear snapper, 16-megapixel selfie camera, Android 7.0 Nougat OS and 4,000 mAh battery.

OnePlus gave us a touched up version of the OnePlus 3 late last year, christened OnePlus 3T, so we are expecting another OnePlus flagship this year. This perhaps precipitated the design of a purported OnePlus 4 concept whose renders and specs appeared online recently. We would have taken this as a hint that OnePlus is indeed working on a new flagship called OnePlus 4 if not for the fact that the number 4 isn’t a lucky figure in China and manufacturers most times avoid it.

Ideally, since the last flagship from the company is the OnePlus 3 or 3T, the next would be the OnePlus 4 so it is still possible the company is actually working on a OnePlus 4  flagship which would hit the stands this year. It is also likely the next-gen OnePlus smartphone may be called OnePlus 5.

The renders leaked online recently and are said to be those of the OnePlus 4. The color style takes a deviation from the Gunmetal and Soft gold paint jobs we are accustomed to on the OnePlus 3 and earlier models. Instead, there is a red colored styling as well as a black and a white variant.

Another spectacular innovation is the dual-lens rear camera mounted onboard the device, aligned in a vertical direction with the dual-tone LED flash sitting in between the two lenses. The dual cameras are said to have a 16MP main shooter and a 12MP sensor on the secondary camera. Up front, there is an 8MP sensor. The display is a 5.5-inch display with a whopping 2K resolution.

The OnePlus flagship is also rumored to come with the Snapdragon 835 chip, supplemented by 6GB of RAM. There is also a 64GB and 128GB storage versions which can be expanded up to 256GB. The OnePlus 4 is listed to feature a 4000mAh battery capacity with support for OnePlus’ DASH fast charge technology.

Earlier on, Carl Pei who is OnePlus’ co-founder had hinted that the next-gen OnePlus smartphone would be equipped with OLED display. The device is also expected to run Android Nougat-based Oxygen OS.

OnePlus is still basking in the aura of positive reviews generated by the OnePlus 3T. So there is no reason to rush to release a successor yet. The folks at DBS Designing can’t wait for a successor and have made a render of the OnePlus 4.

For the design, DBS Designing have gone back to the OnePlus 1 for inspiration which personally, I believe has a better design than the OnePlus 3. Basically, you can call it the OnePlus 1 (2017) as it incorporates all the features you should find in a flagship device released this year.

First you have got thinner bezels on all sides. Practically non-existent on the left and right and considerably thinner at the top and bottom. That way, the phone can have a larger display but still maintain the footprint of the OnePlus 3. The top bezel still houses the front camera, speaker and proximity sensor, while the lower bezel holds a physical home button and capacitive back and recent apps keys. It seems the home button also doubles as a fingerprint scanner since there is none at the back.

The OnePlus 4 also gets the dual-camera treatment on the rear. You will notice they have made sure not to exceed the length of the camera housing of the OnePlus 1 but at the expense of ditching the laser focus module.

For specifications, the OnePlus 4 will sport the Snapdragon 835 processor, have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, though there will be a 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM variant. The rear cameras will be 18 megapixel shooters while the front camera will remain a 16MP sensor. Although the screen size is unknown as that looks larger than 5.5-inches but expect it to be a Quad HD+ screen, giving it Daydream support.

2017 seems to be the year where you either make your phone waterproof or you go home. This OnePlus 4 render ticks the waterproof box but expect it to raise the price of the device. There is a 5000mAh battery under the hood and with Dash Charge support. The bottom of the phone also sports a USB Type-C port flanked on both sides by dual speakers.

The big surprise is the OS. DBS Designing have slapped Lineage OS on the rear just the way the original OnePlus first launched with Cyanogen OS. Chances of this happening in real life is next to impossible. Oxygen OS has come a long way already and OnePlus will not drop it for Lineage. But since this is a render, you are allowed to let your imagination run wild.

What do you think of the OnePlus 4? How much will you be willing to pay for this beast? Do drop a comment in the box below.

The OnePlus 3T is still in the news. It just launched in India and will go on sale next week. But with it out of the way, OnePlus should be focusing on the next device already, and it seems they are as a leak says the company is already working on the OnePlus 5. That wasn’t a mistake.

It appears the company will not be making a OnePlus 4 since the number 4 is considered an unlucky number in China. So instead, its going to pretend the number doesn’t exist and move right to the next one.

The trend is not unusual though as Oneplus’ sister company, Vivo, released the Vivo V5 after the Vivo V3. Let’s just hope number 4 doesn’t go visit number 6 and ask how it jinxed the Galaxy Note 7.

The OnePlus 5 will also be sporting a not-so-new material. Ceramic. If you recollect, OnePlus released a limited edition ceramic version of the OnePlus X. We don’t know if it the OnePlus 5 ceramic version will be a limited edition though, but what the source says is that it will be manufactured by the same company making the ceramic body of the Xiaomi Mi MIX.

The OnePlus 5 is expected to retain the 5.5-inch display size but bump up the resolution to Quad HD, have 6GB of RAM, and sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
