Now, another real life Image of the OnePlus 5 has surfaced onto Internet, giving us a closer look at lower half of the device. We can see curved rounded corners. The Image confirms that there's no 3.5mm headphone jack.

As you can see in the below Image, the OnePlus 5 Prototype is having vertically placed dual camera setup and OnePlus branding on the back. It's not confirmed that the below is the finally look at the OnePlus 5, so take it as a grain of salt.

Going with the earlier rumors, OnePlus 5 is expected to a 5.5-inch display and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. It will have 6GB of RAM and 64GB/128 storage. The OnePlus 5 will sport a 16 + 16MP dual camera at the back, and one sensor will capture monochrome shots, while the other one captures standard shots.

There might be a OnePlus 5T launched as well with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and bigger battery, but these are just speculations, so take them with a grain of salt.

Two Concept Renders of the OnePlus 5 Suggesting Horizontally Placed Rear Camera Surfaced Online

 By Unknown on May 15, 2017       

Amidst the Motorola smartphone leaks, the internet is completely dominated by the upcoming flagship killer, the OnePlus 5. Earlier today, it was spotted on the AnTuTu benchmarking site revealing key specs of the phone. And now, two new renders of the phone are posted online which allegedly shows the horizontally placed dual camera setup. 

While one render looks like a real photoshopped image, the other render shows the device's design from a Meizu smartphone. As you can see the first picture, both the camera sensors are placed in a single module, same as the iPhone 7 Plus followed by a LED flash. What made this image weird is the antenna bands running over the top. 

Speaking about the second render, the device looks like a Meizu MX6 in black colour and OnePlus logo. Nevertheless, it looks gorgeous though. The second image also looks like a photoshopped image because of the slight displacement of the LED flashlight. 

That said, the specs of the phone are all but confirmed, but the design of the phone is yet to be leaked. The phone is officially confirmed to launch this summer.

While the company has officially confirmed the name of the phone, the device has been run through the AnTuTu benchmark test. As a result, AnTuTu was able to post and confirm the specs for the handset.

From the listing we can tell you that, the OnePlus 5 will bear a model number A5000, which was rumoured earlier as well.

 By Vaibhav Jain on May 04, 2017       

After the Note 7 fiasco, Samsung took a huge step with its batteries that might prevent fires and explosions. It's time for all manufacturers to follow Samsung and implement battery protection to their upcoming Smartphones. 

Recently a OnePlus One user reported that his device exploded while charging, causing property damage and giving him a second degree burn on his left arm. It's good to see that a OnePlus representative immediately reached out to the original poster via the forum, and the OP replied that he has submitted a support ticket.

The user has uploaded several images and a video showing severe burn marks on his several body parts. You can check the Images and Video from the below forum (Source) link (CAUTION: Images might be disturbing).

Well, my OnePlus One exploded while charging this morning. Almost set my house on fire. The explosion set pillow and blanket on fire as well as carpet....... I got second degree burn on my left arm and lucky no injury on my face..... I'm still in shock... u see the news but it's a totally different experience in real life. Support ticket submitted.

OnePlus' Silence Over Nougat Update for OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X is Making Users Furious

 By Unknown on April 08, 2017       

If there's ever a Chinese vendor who is providing timely updates to their phones right now, it is OnePlus. The company started 2017 by updating their popular OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T to Android Nougat, but the company is looking at only the latest phones and has left their two good phones, the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. 

OnePlus, back in January said that the OnePlus 2 will receive Android Nougat, but there's no update till date and users of these phones are going crazy regarding the update.

In OnePlus forums, users have created various thread raising their voice towards the update. The OnePlus 2 surely has the hardware inside it to run the latest OS. However, the OnePlus X's hardware is outdated, and the company earlier said that the OnePlus X can not handle graphics of Android Nougat. 

If you notice, the official Lineage OS builds for both the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X are available. So, OnePlus should consider this and release the update at the earliest for both the phones. 

OnePlus 3 and 3T Users: Gear Up for Experiencing More Oxygen OS Features in Coming Days

 By Unknown on April 05, 2017       

If you ask me: Which new brand's smartphone gets regular software updates? The immediate answer from me will be 'OnePlus'. Ever since the OnePlus 3T release, the Chinese vendor is betting big on the software updates department. The OnePlus 3 and 3T users received Oxygen OS 4.0 update based on Android Nougat on January 1, 2017. 

After that, OnePlus has updated both the OnePlus 3 and 3T for nearly five times fixing most of the bugs and adding new features. Recently, OnePlus announced the OxygenOS Open Beta 4 for both the OnePlus 3 and 3T users, and the surprise was the addition of new features. 

If you look at the changelog closely, OnePlus has added a new feature: Secure Box, which locks your files, photos, and other media files by setting a PIN code or pattern, same as what Samsung  is offering with the Samsung KNOX. The company has also introduced Quick Pay to help the people from demonetization. A special DND mode while gaming will help most of the users out there. 

All said, the Oxygen OS will soon become a feature rich OS, which was once known for its stockish Android UI.

Could this be our first look at the Chromium OnePlus 3T?

 By Vaibhav Jain on April 05, 2017       

After the huge success of OnePlus's latest limited "Colette Edition"  and "Midnight Black" version of the OnePlus 3T which went on sale in March, the Chinese Smartphone maker is planning to launch another OnePlus 3T with Chromium body.

The images clearly show the new color option of the OnePlus 3T, which looks great and shiny in the chrome shade. The OnePlus logo, antenna bands, the 3.5mm audio jack, the USB-C and the speaker are clearly visible in the Images above and below.



The OnePlus 3T Midnight Black and Colette Edition comes only in 128GB Storage option, so OnePlus might launch the Chromium OnePlus 3T in same storage option, with a higher price as compared to the previous variants. 

The OnePlus 3T is already available in default Gunmetal Grey and Soft Gold color options and limited edition Midnight Black and Colette Edition, the gorgeous Chromium OnePlus 3T would be a great add-on. Thoughts?

OnePlus introduces its own drink!

 By Unknown on March 31, 2017       

OnePlus took over to Twitter to announce a new product. It's not a phone, though. It's an energy drink called Dash Energy Drink. As you know, tomorrow is April 1st, popularly known as April Fool's Day in English speaking countries. Every person tries to fool their friends, and in recent years, companies have taken the opportunity to do the same.

OnePlus says this new product will "unlock the person's hidden potential". The company is implicitly promoting its recent features, like the quick charging method it uses in its phones. For example, it states this energy drink gives you a full day of power within minutes. 

Although it's an April Fool's joke, the energy drink is actually real. It's all a marketing campaign around April Fool's, and it will be available for you to drink if you live in the UK and India. Several stores will carry this drink.

OnePlus also cut the price of its fast Dash Charger, compatible with the recent OnePlus USB-C models. You can also get that discount starting right now. Here's a video promoting the newly announced drink:
