The OnePlus 5 rumors are increasing in volume, and we’ve got everything you need to know.
The OnePlus 5 will arrive in the coming weeks, as the Chinese startup has now confirmed the name of its next flagship smartphone and that it will arrive on June 20.
OnePlus has managed to consistently stand out from the crowd by offering high-end hardware at a mid-range price, but even to say that undersells its achievements.
The company often out-specs rivals with its ‘Never Settle’ mantra and clearly puts time and thought into its phones, yet still manages to sell them for less.
All of that is true of the OnePlus 3T, which has a massive 6GB of RAM, along with a premium build and high-end specs throughout, all for just $439, £399 (around AU$580) .
It’s a remarkable phone then, but it’s not perfect and we’ve come up with a wish list of things (on page 2) that we want to see for the OnePlus 5.
You’ll find all the latest news and rumors about the OnePlus 5 on this page, along with speculation and analysis to fill in the gaps.
OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 5 will be announced on June 20 .
That’s in line with previous launches, as the OnePlus One launched in April 2014, the OnePlus 2 in July 2015 and the OnePlus 3 in June 2016.
We don’t yet know for sure when it will be available to purchase in the UK, US or Australia, but Amazon India is listing it for June 22, so it’s likely to land elsewhere on that date too.
Either way, OnePlus has teased the phone for » Summer 2017 » so we probably won’t be waiting much longer, especially as the company has stopped selling the OnePlus 3T already.
The eagle-eyed among you will note that we’ve not had a OnePlus 4. We’ve had the OnePlus One, OnePlus 2, OnePlus X, OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T – and now we’re getting the OnePlus 5.
Why 5? The number 4 is a sign of bad luck in China, which is the main thinking as to why we’re going straight to the OnePlus 5. It would also, technically, be the fifth flagship phone (ignoring the short-lived OnePlus X) with the OnePlus 3T taking the fourth generation spot.
