OnePlus 5: OnePlus Upcoming Flagship Killer for 2017

OnePlus 5 is rumored to be setting its way up in the world of Technologies this 2017. Another China-based OEM who just started 3 years ago with the highly anticipated OnePlus One and was touted as "2014 Flagship Killer" will be working on the successor of the OnePlus3T and OnePlus 3 smartphones.

The successor of the OnePlus 3 is OnePlus 5, hence, it is skipping OnePlus 4. It is believed that the numeric 4 is an unlucky number in China, TechTimes reported. Similar to other brands from other countries such as Korea, Japan and other few Asian countries also believes that the number 4 is unlucky for it symbolizes death according to a practice known as Tetraphobia.

Moreover, like the company's first-ever smartphone to feature a ceramic body, OnePlus X, the OnePlus 5 might also feature a similar material. According to Phone Radar, the company chooses a ceramic material because metal-build smartphones are bad conductors for 5G signals.

OnePlus 5 will be running on Android 7.0 Nougat by the time it will be launched. The OnePlus 5 is believed to be sporting a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED display, with Snapdragon 835 processor and 6 GB of RAM.

The current trend of smartphones having dual cameras gradually increases, which is why OnePlus 5 is rumored to have this concept. The new smartphone will feature a 16 Megapixel and a 12 Megapixel sensor including a dual LED flash in between. Aside from that, a storage memory of either 64GB or 128GB to choose with an expandable memory up to 256GB. The battery, however, is imagined to be offering 4,000mAh.

OnePlus 5 is said to be the flagship killer and could beat the iPhone 8 and the Galaxy S8. Interestingly, it is one of the recommended brands and referred to as the natural heir to Google's Nexus niche. Check out the video below and see the upcoming Flagship Killer, OnePlus 5.
