One plus 5 news and rumours

The OnePlus 5 is arriving today, as the Chinese startup has now confirmed the name of its next flagship smartphone and that it'll be showing it off on this day.
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.

OnePlus 5 screen

Hottest leaks:
  • A change in technology
  • A 5.3 or 5.5-inch 2K display
The rumors of a QHD display haven't gone away, and that possibility has also been rumored, with talk of a 5.3-inch screen of that resolution, while another source points to a 5.5-inch QHD display.

The resolution of the screen on the OnePlus 3T is one of its few faults and one of the only areas you can really point to and say that's where the company cut corners.
To make an impact this year it's likely to push the resolution up, especially since now just about every flagship has a QHD or higher resolution screen.
But why do we need to push resolution above 1080p on such a small screen? Two letters: VR. 
Virtual Reality was big in 2016 - even OnePlus has got in on the act launching the OnePlus 3 in VR (and the OnePlus 2 in 2015) - but for the best experiences you need a high resolution display.
A 2K screen would improve the VR experience on the OnePlus 5, as well as giving a boost to movies and gaming.

OnePlus 5 design

Hottest leaks:
  • A metal body
build aside, we're hoping for further bezel slimming from its predecessor - allowing the OnePlus 5 to sport a more compact frame even though it houses a 5.5-inch display.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 boasts a larger 5.8-inch screen, but it's narrower and shorter than the OnePlus 3T, which means the OnePlus 5 should be able to slim down a bit.
And there's reason to think the OnePlus 5 will be smaller than the 3T, as OnePlus has tweeted a teaser image of the 5 under the 3T. You can't really see it - but that's the point, as if it was as big as the 3T the edges would be visible.

OnePlus 5 camera

Hottest leaks:
  • Confirmed: a dual-lens camera
  • 12MP rear and 8MP front snappers
  • Augmented and mixed reality features
We now know for sure that the OnePlus 5 has a dual-lens camera.Exactly that has been claimed in a leak  which also says that both lenses will be 12MP, and there will be an 8MP front-facing camera.OnePlus has announced that it's working with camera expert DxOMark to improve the quality of the camera on the OnePlus 5. No specifics were given, but the company has since shown a teaser photos demonstrating strong low-light performance. And we've also heard rumors of the form these improvements might take.
For one thing, other than the camera being dual-lens, one source talks about augmented reality and mixed reality functions, though no details are given on the specifics of these features. We now know for sure that the rear camera is dual-lens. A 12MP rear camera is likely, as this would both allow for a quality boost and fall in line with rivals.

OnePlus 5 battery

Hottest leaks:
  • A 4000mAh juice pack
  • Seriously fast charging

OnePlus 5 OS and power

Hottest leaks:
  • Confirmed: Snapdragon 835 chipset
  • 8GB of RAM
OnePlus flagships are always among the most powerful around, at least on paper, and we don't expect that will change with the OnePlus 5.
In fact, one plus has confirmed  that the OnePlus 5 will use the high-end Snapdragon 835 chipset.
That's the same chip that you'll find in the sony xperia xz , HTC u11and US variants of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. In short then, the OnePlus 5 is not going to be short of power.

Alongside that we may see 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, although another source claims that the amount of RAM could be upped to 8GB.

When Gigabyte, a Taiwan-based gaming hardware company, says it's launching a premium brand, you tend to listen.

But the Aorus range is slightly different. It takes things even further, a passion project for Gigabyte designers to entice the super high-end, money-is-no-object buyers among you. Gigabyte first showed of the Aorus X9, the king of the Aorus range, at CES 2017 as a prototype, but the hands-on model on display at Computex 2017 came with the announcement you'd be able to buy it later this year.

Image
