OnePlus 5, the 2017 flagship smartphone from the Chinese smartphone maker is expected to launch on June 15. The company had already confirmed that the device will arrive in summer and now the official launch date seems to have leaked on Chinese social networking site Weibo.
As always, OnePlus has begun creating the hype around its next smartphone launch. The biggest change this time is expected to come in the form of a dual-rear camera setup. The company has partnered with DxOMark in order to develop a competitive smartphone camera experience. It also recently posted a low-light camera sample on Twitter with good details and colour reproduction.
Ahead of the official announcement, OnePlus confirmed that its upcoming flagship will be the first smartphone with Snapdragon 835 in India. The smartphone has made its way through a few benchmarking platforms and has performed better than Samsung's Galaxy S8+.
The handset has also appeared on different retail channels and it is expected to be priced around $449. The retail listing suggests it will feature a 5.5-inch Quad HD display and option for upto 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Other rumours include dual 12MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, Android Nougat and front mounted fingerprint sensor. Like Apple's iPhone 7, OnePlus is also likely to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and might also come in multiple colour options.
