As the OnePus 5 has not yet been officially announced, many of its specs are still unclear. However, thanks recent leaks, it is possible to place a pretty accurate guess on what this latest Android phone will look like. Below, Chinavasion provides you with a detailed look at what we currently know about the OnePlus 5 smartphone.

This is what we know so far about the OnePlus 5 Smartphone:

Right now, we know that it will be packing the Snapdragon 835 chipset. Although we can not be certain about the RAM size, it is expected that the OnePlus 5 will hold at least 6GB of RAM. It furthermore will pack 64GB of internal storage that offers plenty of space to save your files. With all this powerful hardware at hand, this flagship Android phone is sure to handle anything you throw at it without dropping a frame.

Previously, Pete Lau (OnePlus’ CEO) mentioned that their new model will not only pack the Snapdragon 835, the fastest chipset currently available, but it will also be optimized for RAM management and touch latency. These two areas were highly criticized with their previous smartphone; the OnePlus 3T. This is great news for all smartphone lovers out there as it now promises an absolutely outstanding user experience.

Although it is rumored that OnePlus is producing an 8GB/128GB version of the OnePlus 5 for the Chinese market, it is unlikely that this variant will also launch internationally.

With respect to its display, the OnePlus 5 will keep the 5.5-Inch screen.. The screen is designed in such a way to get away with as much as possible of the front and bottom bezels. However, the Android phone will still feature a front fingerprint sensor. Additional details we know about the display is that it will use an AMOLED panel. This treats you with an energy efficient experience that allows you to take the most out of your phone. Whether it will be a 1080p or feature a 2560×1440 or similar QHD resolution is still unknown.

Another improvement with respect o the previous OnePlus smartphone will be its battery. While the OnePlus 3T featured a 3400mAh battery, this new Android phone is expected to come with a 3600mAh cell. In combination with its AMOLED screen and energy-efficient Snapdragon 835 chipset, this promises an exceptional battery life.

Considering the phone’s design, the OnePlus 5 will not look too different from the 3T model. Instead of fully changing its design, the company has focused on making the Android smartphone more compact without losing any usability. At the moment, not many details are known about the full look of this new Android phone. Big changes compared to its predecessor are, however, not likely. Besides the different color schemes the OnePlus 5 will provide, the phone will look largely the same as the OnePlus 3T.

Although the design generally speaking does not change much, you will be able to spot one large difference when you turn the phone around. If you look at the rear of the OnePlus 5, you will notice the cell phone is adopting the popular Dual-Camera trend. By featuring two 12MP rear sensors, this Android phone will bring along great possibilities for all mobile photography lovers out there.

Regarding the software, we can currently state that their new Android phone will run on the new version of their own Oxygen OS. This operating system has been based on Android 7.1.2 and will spoil you with the most up-to-date software features.

OnePlus 5 Price

So then, the final and most important question: What will it cost? Although the real price is still unknown, we can speculate based on the behavior of the company in the past. Previously, OnePlus only slightly increased its price when switching to a new model. This would suggest that with the OnePlus 5, we will not see a too high increase on price either. It is believed that this latest Android phone will be available for around 400 to 500 USD. This makes the OnePlus 5 still significantly cheaper compared to similar flagship devices produced by other brands.

OnePlus has recently announced that it will unveil all details about its newest Android phone via an event on the 20th of June. This event will take place online and is scheduled to hit off at 12:00 p.m. ET. After this event, OnePlus has scheduled several satellite events on the 20th and 21st of June. During these events, fans are given the chance to see the actual OnePlus 5 smartphone and to ask questions. It will furthermore be possible to pre-order this latest phone so that you can be among the first to own this magnificent Android device.
