OnePlus 5 Price And Specs: Preorders Go Live Ahead Of Release Date

The OnePlus 5 isn’t expected to be unveiled until next Tuesday, but the flagship has already surfaced for preorder on several online stores, according to details shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. Consumers can pre-order the OnePlus 5 at OnePlus website as well as on JD.com. This preorder allows users to reserve their spot online to later order the OnePlus 5 once it is officially available.

Many details for the OnePlus 5 are already known and several leaks have surfaced ahead of the device’s June 20 launch event. Rumored specs include a Quad HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip, 6GB or 8GB RAM, a dual-camera setup, a 4,000mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner and Android 7.1.1 Nougat. With predecessors, the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T scheduled to update to the upcoming Android O, it is likely the OnePlus 5 will also see the latest Google software at some point.

The device is expected to come in Black, Red, Gold, and possibly Gradient Unicorn color options. There may also be a variant made of ceramic.

Reports indicate that the dual-camera on the OnePlus 5 will be its highlight feature. The OnePlus collaborated with the benchmark group DxOMark to develop software to improve low-light imaging. Recently OnePlus CEO Peter Lau shared a night shot he claims was taken with a OnePlus 5 handset, which features a building against a night sky backdrop. The building stands out clear and sharp, while stars can even be spotted in the sky.

If valid, consumers can likely expect a high mobile camera rating from DxOMark. Whether that would count as nepotism remains to be seen. The OnePlus 5 will be up against devices including the HTC U11, the Google Pixel, the HTC 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S8, which all have impressive camera settings for both ideal and low-light photography situations.
