OnePlus 5: Focus on what matters [Updated]





So one day to go for the launch of OnePlus's latest flagship killer OnePlus 5 in India and here we present you with every confirmed fact straight and simple. Before we start, let's take a look at the predecessors of the newly unleashed(to be) beast. We're all aware of the huge success of it's previous flagship phones, the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T which gave everything we seek in a premium smartphone. A Qualcomm SD 821 processing device powered by 6GB of RAM. Everything you'd want for your day to pass by smoothly. But hey, what if someone is providing you with even better specs for a little more money? Quite convinced now, aren't you? There's still more.


You may also be wondering what happened to the supposed OnePlus 4. Apparently, OnePlus is superstitious about numbers and what they stand for. So OnePlus refrained from using the number 4 because it is considered as a symbol of death in China. So they decided to skip it just to be on the safer side. Well, didn't see that one coming.
