OnePlus 5 was discovered to have got a bug which caused the device to reboot when an emergency 911 call is placed in the US or 999 call in the UK. This prompted OnePlus to push OTA updates which fixed the software issue which they fingered to be a modem memory issue affecting some devices and causing the crash. A similar bug was also reported to have affected a couple of other Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, Sony Xperia Z3, and LG G3.

After the bug has been fixed, a new issue seems to have popped up on some OnePlus 5 models. In particular, some users have aired their complaints on the OnePlus official forum of excessive battery drain, especially when the device is left powered on and in standby mode overnight. The issue seems to affect Indian users of the OP5 and the advice OnePlus officially has for them is that those having a Reliance Jio LTE SIM card in the second slot should turn it off as it requires quality LTE signal otherwise, the phone keeps searching for signal and this drain the battery. Reliance Jio is a 4G-only network which was rolled out in India only September last year.

We can’t follow up on the thread anymore to know if users still complain of the issue because the thread seems to have been deleted. This is perhaps to stem further escalation of an issue the company thinks is a non-issue, considering the fix they suggested.

OnePlus 5 was launched only recently and is already on sale in China, available in Midnight Black version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage going for around $539 and Slate Gray coloured version with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage selling for $479. That may not be the only two colours the device may come with as a TENAA listing for the OnePlus flagship has appeared online showing the smartphone will be available in three different colour variants.

According to the listing, the colour variants include the Midnight black and Space gray which is already available.  However, the device will also come in a Mint gold colour variant which may be released sometime later.

The OnePlus 5 flash sale has seen the flagship selling out completely across all platforms despite assurance from OnePlus that there were enough units in stock await the start of sales. The company’s CEO even hinted that the company might mobilise more units from overseas market. But that isn’t likely going to include the Mint gold version. Rather, the Mint gold version may be released later on just like the Soft gold version of the OnePlus 3 and 3T was only released some months after the initial models were launched.

Barely a day after the OnePlus 5 was officially unveiled in the U.S, the flagship phone has made its official debut in OnePlus’ home country of China. The OnePlus 5 was launched today with,  of course, similar specs lineup but a far reduced price tag when compared to the price regime announced for U.S and Europe. Apart from the dual cameras, the 8GB RAM on board one of the versions makes the OnePlus 5 second to the Nubia Z17 as the only two Chinese model with 8GB RAM.

The OnePlus 5 is available in  6GB +64GB version and 8GB+128GB version. While the 6GB version starts at 2,999 Yuan ($438), the 8GB version will be sold in China for 3499 yuan($512). The device also come in just two colours whereby the 6GB version is available in Slate gray colour, while the 8GB version comes in Midnight Black colour only.

The OnePlus flagship is expected to go on sale in China from tomorrow June 22 by 10 AM. Reservations for the sale has long opened on Jingdong (JD. Com) with figures exceeding 500,000 days before the launch. The interesting thing about the reservation is that the 8GB version is stocked and as would be expected, it has the highest number of reservations.

Specs wise, the OP5 features a 2.45GHz Snapdragon 835, 6GB /8GB LPDDR4X RAM options, up to 128GB UFS 2.1 dual lane storage. The flagship device sports a 5.5-inch Optic AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and sRGB and DCI-P3 colour space support. The display is protected by a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Others include a 16MP Sony IMX398 sensor with f/1.7 aperture and another 20MP telephoto camera at the rear, a 16MP selfie sensor and a 33000mah battery with DASH charge technology, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0 and more.

The company also released two new improved models of its OnePlus-branded Travel Backpack.

The OnePlus 5 dual cameras are perhaps the most talked about feature on the flagship model which has started rolling out in some regions. OnePlus touts that the dual photos camera setup outputs clearer photos than ever before. We’ll take a quick look at the OnePlus 5 camera so we’ll be able to understand what makes the camera special.

OnePlus 5 Dual Camera Specs

OnePlus 5 features a dual camera setup that is composed of a 16MP primary camera and a 20MP Telephoto camera. The setup is quite similar to that of the iPhone 7 Plus and is quite different from the wide-angle sensor used in the LG G6 or the black and white sensor that is found on Huawei’s range of devices with dual cameras. The OnePlus 5 telephoto sensor is capable of providing 2X magnification without loss of image’s integrity and clarity.

In terms of its similarity with that of the iPhone 7 Plus, the OnePlus 5 camera has a dedicated Portrait mode similar to that of the Apple flagship. The Portrait mode uses the 2X zoom feature of the dual camera and then applies a background blur to the image which will, in turn, lead to the principal captured image being highlighted. The telephoto camera of the OP5 has a narrower aperture which allows less light getting in and the sensor uses smaller pixels which are likely more prone to digital noise. In that case, the camera is unlikely to be usable in low light conditions. However, the photo sample shared by OnePlus does not support this.

Apart from the features on the telephoto sensor, the main camera on the OnePlus 5 also sees several upgrades like a wider f/1.7 aperture as against a f/2.0 aperture on the OnePlus 3T. The wider aperture is expected to lead to clearer photos with less noise and less motion blur. The main sensor is a Sony IMX398 sensor and it uses a Fast AF (autofocus) technology which is a kind of phase-detection autofocus. The technology will enable the OP5 to focus 40% faster than the 3T with a lot more accuracy. The rear camera setup is lacking an optical image stabilization (OIS) feature and it is believed to have been dropped as a result of the size of the phone which is just 7.25 mm thin. The OIS is supposed to assist in low-light situations by keeping the frame steady, thus reducing motion blur. It is also commonly used to reduce shakiness in videos. Instead of OIS, the OnePlus camera comes with an electronic image stabilization which is expected to function as effectively as the OIS.

OnePlus 5 Camera Software: What’s New?

Another aspect that is just important in the production of clearer photos these days is the camera software features which includes multi-frame processing for less digital noise. How this works is that the camera compares multiple frames of the same scene to detect inconsistencies and then the software clears them up. The camera also has an improved HDR mode which is expected to take clearer photos of subjects situated behind bright light sources.

The OnePlus 5 camera feature also includes manual controls which would make more sense to professional photographers and allow them to set the camera for optimal performance. Settings like white balance, focus, shutter speed, and ISO can be controlled independently to achieve the look or effect wanted in a given situation. OnePlus is also adding a histogram on the OnePlus 5 camera software as well as a gyroscope-guided level to help you keep those horizons straight.

OnePlus finally launched the highly anticipated OnePlus 5 flagship device which is the newest Snapdragon 835 kid in the block. Apart from the powerful chipset, the OnePlus 5 comes in as the second model by a Chinese manufacturer to pack an 8GB RAM version. OnePlus 5 also features a refreshing design and a dual camera setup.

There are likely going to be an army of anxious fans who can’t wait to set their hands of the OnePlus flagship. Thankfully, the wait for the device won’t be very long as the flagship model will go on sales almost immediately. The model would be released into the market in Europe and North America on June 27 which is about a week from the launch date. However, there is an ongoing Early Drop Offer where fans can order the device right away.

Already, the Midnight Black version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage going for $539 is out of stock. So, you only get the opportunity to grab the  Slate Gray coloured 6GB + 64GB version for $479.

As stated earlier, the Early Drop offer comes with the offer of 50% discount off some accessories which OnePlus calls “Exclusive Welcome Bundle” for the OnePlus 5. The bundle includes the Dash Type-C Cable, the OnePlus 5 Protective Case, the OnePlus 5 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector and the OnePlus Bullets (V2) earphones. Unfortunately, the stock seems to have run out but there is still a 20% discount offer on the Dash Power Bundle (the OnePlus 5 charger and USB Type-C cable(Dash Power Bundle), and a 10% discount each on the company’s Dash Car Charger, the OnePlus 5 Karbon Bumper case or the OnePlus Travel Backpack.

We have what is said to be the real render of the OnePlus 5 flagship coming right from a Brazilian blog, this time capturing the entire device. Recall that  Android Police leaked what could be termed the first real photo of the upcoming flagship last week but the photo only showed the top half of the device. But in this case, we are shown the entire device revealing both the front and rear views.

From the photo, the OnePlus 5’s display will likely be 5.5 inches in size and as earlier captured in leaks, the display will be a Full HD display. The full image also affords us the opportunity to see what the fingerprint sensor looks like. The sensor looks rather large despite it having an oval shape. We would have concluded this was an iPhone 7 Plus renamed OnePlus 3 if it had been round. The renders also give us a glimpse of how thin the OP5 will be.

Apart from the fingerprint sensor on this bottom half which we are seeing for the first time, all other features of the OP5 have already been seen in previously leaked photos. Almost all the specs have been confirmed such as a Snapdragon 835 chip, 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM on another version, a 3,300mAh battery with DASH charge technology and 20MP + 16MP rear dual cameras. The OnePlus flagship is said to come with a Bluetooth 5.0 which also featured on the Galaxy S8 and UFS 2.1 flash storage.

The OnePlus 5 flagship is expected to come with a powerful camera setup, apart from the powerful Snapdragon 835 chip and 6GB / 8GB RAM it is already revealed on benchmark website as featuring. The flagship device has been revealed as featuring a dual camera setup at the rear and really, we have seen a couple of sample images purportedly shot by the OP5’s camera. A couple of days back, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuotu posted a night shot which made bare the OnePlus 5’s camera capability in low light condition.

OnePlus CEO has again shared another sample photo captured by the company’s upcoming flagship device but this time around, the image is a black and white photo.  The CEO did not give any details which would tell us if the OnePlus 5 camera will come with a monochrome sensor or if the picture was captured using the monochrome mode of a regular camera. However, a leaked sample photo had earlier surfaced which suggested the presence of a monochrome sensor and this may just have confirmed that. The device is expected with a 16MP dual camera setup but the details of the sensors are still unofficial.

The leaks and rumours keep coming out and when they are pieced together, it becomes easy to understand why the OnePlus 5 is generating so many attention. Two separate leaks pointing at the possible camera type and battery capacity recently appeared online.

One of the leaked photos is that of a retail box for the OnePlus flagship which appeared on Android Authority. The leak shows the OnePlus 5 would come with a dual camera setup and from the look of things, OnePlus will project the device using the dual cameras as one of the main features onboard. It is not as if this is the first time we are getting this leaked detail but this tends to confirm or at least lend more weight to the earlier rumors and renders showing the OP5 with dual cam.

The second leak comes in from China and reveals the OnePlus 5 would come with a 3,300mAh battery. No other detail is visible except that the battery spec is for the OP5. Despite the fact that it is a little lower than the 3400mAH battery on the OnePlus 3T, it is still pretty large and may be due to the fact that the OP5 would be thin. The device will likely also come with OnePlus’ trademark DASH charge fast charging technology.

The OnePlus flagship’s launch date is not known but it is believed to be not too long from now. A couple of leaks about that point at a launch on June 15 but we really can’t say if that will happen. But OnePlus seems to have intensified its efforts towards preparing for the eventual launch. Just recently, the company sought the opinions of fans in China to determine what the box casing would look like and also kickstarted a competition that would see 10 lucky fans get the opportunity to test the OP5’s camera.

OnePlus is intensifying its publicity campaign for the OnePlus 5 which fuels speculations that the OnePlus 5 would be launching soon. Already, a leaked internal mail and poster point to a launch on June 15 but that may just be a fluke but a launch is imminent.

One key source of details about the OnePlus 5 has been OnePlus CEO Liu Zuotu who had always taken to Weibo to share a couple of details of his company’s upcoming flagship device. The CEO isn’t relenting as he has again revealed some more details of the OP5.The CEO address rumors of a shortage of Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 835 chip which the OP5 is said to feature, allaying fears that there wouldn’t be enough in stock before its launch.

More interesting is Zuotu’s disclosure that the flagship OP5 would come with a thin body which he touts would make the device the thinnest flagship phone. The OnePlus 3 won admiration from the media because of its thin build, according to the CEO but he claims the OnePlus 5 will improve on that as the company is constantly adjusting the value of the output by 0.05mm.

The OnePlus 5 is expected with a dual camera setup whose photo samples have been making the rounds lately tipped to have been optimised for more picture clarity. Apart from the Snapdragon 835 chip, the device is also expected with 6GB of RAM, a front fingerprint sensor and Android 7.1 Nougat, of course with a touch of OnePlus’ Oxygen and Hydrogen OS.

A new leaked internal mail from OnePlus may have unofficially revealed the OnePlus 5’s launch date even before OnePlus brings that to the open. The leaked mail is said to be meant primarily to make arrangements for publicity for the release which the mail hints would take place on June 15. Well, the leak could be intentional as part of the publicity, who knows?

There is no doubt the OnePlus 5’s launch date is very close by, considering the rate at which the leaks about the device have been streaming out recently. Also, OnePlus recently hinted that the OnePlus 3T would be discontinued, further fueling speculations that the company is already preparing the ground for the OnePlus 5 launch.

OnePlus 5 is expected to come packing Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 processor and will have a front fingerprint sensor. These two features, as well as the name of the device, have all been confirmed by OnePlus officially. The flagship is also expected with a dual camera setup, 6GB of RAM and Android 7.1 Nougat, among others. We’ll have to wait for an official press invite or poster from OnePlus to confirm this leaked date.

The rumors surrounding the OnePlus 5 keeps building by the day but it is obvious, in this case, that a good number of them are actually going to be on the OnePlus flagship. OnePlus founder Liu Zuotu has now confirmed that the OnePlus 5 would come with a front fingerprint sensor. The CEO made the confirmation while responding to a fan’s comment on Weibo.

Although a front fingerprint sensor has been a regular on previous OnePlus models, we can add this to the growing list of confirmed features the next-gen flagship will come with. For one, we now know already that OnePlus’s next smartphone won’t be called OnePlus 4 as some argue, but would adopt the moniker OnePlus 5. That has been confirmed by the company. Also, the OnePlus 5 is also expected to sport a dual-camera design but we don’t know for sure if the cameras would be aligned in the horizontal or vertical plane. There are also talks of multiple colour variant for the OP5 and OnePlus may have teased that but we cannot say if that’d end up happening.

Further, the OnePlus 5 is expected with a powerful hardware lineup marshalled by a Snapdragon 835 processor and backed by 6GB RAM. Words out there tips the OnePlus 5 of heralding a new era in flagship offering by releasing an 8GB RAM version of the OP 5. That’d be lovely if true and it sure would open up a new competition as other OEMS would jostle to have an 8GB RAM-packing model. The OP5 will be launched this summer, which is not too far away.

OnePlus has already sort of confirmed that the OnePlus 5 is already in the works so it is no surprise how more and more leaks and purported images of the flagship keeps coming out by the day. Just recently, we were treated to renders of the Plus 5 which depicts the smartphone as coming with a dual camera. The dual cameras were showing to be aligned in the vertical direction. Yet another set of renders of the upcoming OnePlus flagship has now emerged, this time around, the dual cameras are aligned in a vertical direction.

There are talks of the OnePlus 5 dropping this June with earlier rumours tipping the OP5 to feature a dual camera. But with the two different renders have a horizontal and vertically aligned dual camera, we can’t say for sure which one is real.However, we must warn that the leak source, @kjuma is notorious for fake renders. So, this latest render may likely not be real. Besides,  except for the dual cameras, the device looks more like a Meizu smartphone in design than a OnePlus flagship

Specs wise, the OnePlus 5 is tipped to come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 processor and as well as a powerful 8GB RAM.That means the OP5 will likely have a 6GB RAM version as well as the high-end 8GB RAM version. The OePlus 5 had earlier appeared on Geekbench and the listing somewhat confirms the existence of a power packed specs, as the OnePlus 5 is shown to have trumped the Huawei Mate 9 and Samsung Galaxy S9+.

OnePlus finally put paid to debate on a OnePlus 4 or OnePlus 5 moniker when it released a teaser which confirms we should be expecting an OP5 and that the device may likely launch this summer. Ahead of the launch of the OnePlus 5, we are again gifted with a fresh set of renders. This set looks so real that you’d think the OP5 has been launched.

The front view isn’t very much different from the OnePlus 3T, with the device still shown to have a physical home button. However, the side of the display seems to be near bezel-less. At the rear, there is a vertically aligned dual camera with a LED flash sitting under the cameras. There isn’t a fingerprint sensor at the rear, so the button is likely embedded under the home button. The overall design is sleek and beautiful despite looking minimalistic. But there is a new twist, as the renders come in red, blue and brown colours which may join the black and soft gold traditional colors.

Specs wise, the OnePlus 5 is tipped to come with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835 processor and the renders on display suggest a powerful 8GB RAM is among the specs sheet just as rumoured. So, we’ll be looking out for a 6GB RAM version as well as the high-end 8GB RAM version. The Geekbench listing somewhat confirms the existence of a power packed specs, as the OnePlus 5 is shown to have trumped the Huawei Mate 9 and Samsung Galaxy S9+. You can check out more render images from down below.

OnePlus continues to get jiggy with its upcoming flagship smartphone which is believed to go by the moniker OnePlus 5. The company has on several occasions released teasers that leave no doubt in our minds that a flagship is coming. OnePlus seems to have used the Star Wars day which is May 4 to share what we suspect is the image of the OnePlus 5.

The photo isn’t distinct enough for us to get a full glimpse of what exactly the phone looks like. But from what we can grab, the device in question will likely have a slim build. The camera bump at the back is indicative of a single rear camera. The phone’s capacitive buttons are also noticeable at the sides. There is really nothing to show this isn’t likely the OnePlus 3T.

While it is almost certain that OnePlus is working on a next-generation smartphone which will be the OP5, we’ll have to wait a while to get the actual render of the device. As for the specification, the OP5 is rumoured as coming with a Snapdragon 835 processor as well as 6GB RAM. There are talks of an 8GB RAM version as well. The device is expected with a 5.5-inch display which would either have a 1080p or 2K resolution and also a 16MP dual rear camera. The OnePlus 5 is expected to launch anytime soon, with talks of a possible launch sometime between June and August.

The post OnePlus Might Have Teased the OnePlus 5 Recently appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is one company known for its cheap flagship, the latest of which are the OnePlus 3 and 3T. The company is rumoured to be planning on a new flagship with high-end specs and a cheap price which is believed to go by the name OnePlus 5.

Before now the company had not made any comment about the expected device but recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau seems to have confirmed that the company is working on something big. The supposed confirmation comes in a Weibo post where the CEO re-posted OnePlus phone’s Weibo post which talks about the company engaging in labour without rest in order to bring out a surprise. The CEO’s post encouraged them to continue, showing that the company may likely be working on a new smartphone which is likely the OnePlus 5.

Recently, renders and likely specs of the OnePlus 5 leaked thereby giving us an idea of what the device might likely come with. Among the rumored specs is a Snapdragon 835 processor as well as 8GB of RAM, 5.5-inch 2K display as well as a dual 16MP rear camera. With the increased level of production of the Snapdragon 835 chip, the OnePlus 5 is rumoured as launching either this month or next month. Already the device seems to have got radio approval in China.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus flagships are presently ruling the airwaves not because they bear the Samsung brand but because of the sleek design and the powerful processors they feature, especially the Snapdragon 835 SoC. Samsung isn’t the only one that would use the Qualcomm latest chipset as Xiaomi had earlier been tipped to be the first Chinese domestic brand that would use the next generation SoC. Now, OnePlus is also rumoured to use the Snapdragon 835 on their upcoming flagship.

A new leak has come up which tend to give some credibility to earlier rumours that the OnePlus5 flagship will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip. The leak also revealed that the Snapdragon 835 would come with 8GB of RAM, as well as a Quad HD (2K) display. The flagship will also sport a 5.5-inch display, 3,000mAh battery, 23MP rear camera with OIS, and others.

The renders of the OnePlus 5 were also leaked alongside the specifications and they reveal the likelihood of a full-screen display with a high screen-to-body ratio. We can’t be so sure about that but it is just logical for OnePlus to go along with the trend and make their next flagship come with a high screen-to-body ratio. Already LG G6 launched with such design and now the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus and more are likely to follow. The display is likely going to be a curved display with a virtual home button.

In addition, the leaked renders show that the OnePlus 5 may likely come with a dual camera setup at the rear which is aligned in the vertical plane. Also, there is a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor which could be as a result of the absence of a front home button under which the fingerprint could have been embedded. Nothing is certain yet, so we’ll still take this one with a pinch of salt.

The post OnePlus 5 Specs & Renders Leaked: Snapdragon 835, 8GB RAM, 2K Display! appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.
