Samsung isn’t the only one that would use
the Qualcomm latest chipset as Xiaomi had earlier been tipped to be the first
Chinese domestic brand that would use the next generation SoC. Now, OnePlus is
also rumoured to use the Snapdragon 835 on their upcoming flagship.
A new leak has come up which tend to give some
credibility to earlier rumours that the OnePlus5 flagship will use a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 835 chip. The leak also revealed that the Snapdragon 835 would come
with 8GB of RAM, as well as a Quad HD (2K) display. The flagship will also
sport a 5.5-inch display, 3,000 mAh battery, 23MP rear camera with OIS, and
others.
The renders of the OnePlus 5 were also leaked
alongside the specifications and they reveal the likelihood of a full-screen
display with a high screen-to-body ratio. We can’t be so sure about that but it
is just logical for OnePlus to go along with the trend and make their next
flagship come with a high screen-to-body ratio. The display is likely going to be a curved display with a virtual home button.
In addition, the leaked renders show that the
OnePlus 5 may likely come with a dual camera setup at the rear which is aligned
in the vertical plane. Also, there is a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor which
could be as a result of the absence of a front home button under which the
fingerprint could have been embedded. Nothing is certain yet, so we’ll still
take this one with a pinch of salt.
