Thanks to the use of the new processor, there are no plans to limit the operating frequencies of 3G/LTE - the smartphone will work in all countries of the world. In addition, a single version is planned for the Chinese and foreign markets.

The question remains about the presence of a memory card slot in OnePlus 5. According to our data, this time the developers listened to customers and equipped the device with a combined SIM card slot with microSD support volume up to 256 GB.

Appearance of OnePlus 5

There are also 2 versions of unverified sources. The first says that OnePlus 5 will have the top and side frames of the screen reduced to the limit, like Xiaomi MIX. The second claims the possible placement of a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel. One way or another, current renderings received from the company do not confirm such information.

Our current supplier claims that the smartphone continues the style of OnePlus 3, differing only in the main camera and several color options.

Proposed modifications

In addition to the basic version, a simplified OnePlus with an unknown name may be released. The main differences will be lower processor frequencies, reduced screen resolution (FullHD instead of QuadHD), modified main camera (one 21 megapixel module instead of double).

Performance

The supplier was able to test the device within the walls of the production workshop. The results are impressive - OnePlus 5 easily beats the Samsung Galaxy S8 in terms of performance!

It can be assumed that such results can be achieved by an increased amount of memory.

Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mi6 equipped with the same processor is not included in the testing. A comparison of devices will appear on our blog closer to the official announcement date.

Announcement date

There are no official statements from the manufacturer at this time. However, thanks to our supplier, we were able to contact one of the OnePlus employees, who spoke about the company’s plans to officially introduce OnePlus 5 this summer. Most likely, the company will repeat last year’s scenario, and the presentation will take place in mid-June.

However, a shortage of Snapdragon 835 processors may delay mass release until early autumn. In this case, the smartphone will be presented two months later.

Price

Anyway, new smartphone OnePlus will be on sale no later than September. Its cost in the basic version will be 2200 yuan (about $500). This information is confirmed by our sources.
