OnePlus is getting ready to unveil its much-awaited flagship OnePlus 5 on June 22. Before the official release of the flagship, there will be a press conference on June 21 and invitation cards have been sent out. An earlier report suggests that OnePlus is going to use its much-criticised OnePlus invite system which requires people to have an invite to be able to buy a device. However, the company quickly responded to the claim by stating that there was no such plan and the OnePlus 5 smartphone would be “available to all, invite-free.” The rumors that only invite holders will be able to purchase the OnePlus 5 were steered up because the invitation states that “Invite holders will receive OnePlus 5 invite code at the launch event”.
In the invite, one cannot help but notice the images of the rounded rare case of OnePlus 5 that looks so similar to iPhone 7. Since the time the Chinese manufacturer released an official teaser of the OnePlus 5 to reveal its appearance, there has been a backlash on social platforms like Twitter and Reddit to express the disappointment on the design of the phone as it appears very similar to iPhone 7 Plus.
OnePlus has been creating much attention on the upcoming OnePlus 5 flagship killer by regularly releasing images that are allegedly shot using its dual rear camera. Concomitantly, the company seems to be monitoring the public’s reaction to the teasers. This became evident as Carl Pei released a tweet in response to public’s reaction to the design of OnePlus 5. OnePlus co-founder, Carl Pei responded to some negative tweets on the OnePlus appearance to express his views on the issue. He said “Does anyone still remember the commotion regarding the OnePlus 3 design before it came out? It stopped as soon as people got the device” and he added in a separate tweet “History will repeat itself once people see a real live OnePlus 5”. Remember that before the launch of OnePlus 3, people criticized its design because it appears like a hybrid of Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC 10. Even though the OnePlus 3 had appeared a bit like these phones, the OnePlus phone still had its distinctive appeal. See the tweets below
OnePlus 5 rear case/cover also suggest about the design of OnePlus 5. It has a slightly protruding back with parallel dual cameras. For several months, speculations concerning the design of OnePlus five have come from leaked renders based on speculations surrounding the flagship phone. However, most of these speculations are turning out to be true considering new information in the form of benchmark test report.
As a reminder, the OnePlus 5 flagship is expected to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor clocking 2.45GHz. It will run on Android 7.1.1 operating system with options in its RAM and ROM. This smartphone will have 6 or 8 GB RAM options and 64 or 128 GB internal memory options. OnePlus 5 will probably come with a parallel 15- or 16-megapixel dual rear camera with DXO professional optimization coupled with a massive 16-megapixel selfie snapper. See more photos below
