OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 5 in less than an hour now, which will, in turn, put all the leaks and rumors to rest, and turn down the excessive hype engendered in the past couple of months. To summarize the rumors have suggested that the OnePlus 5 is said to arrive in two specific variants, Snapdragon 835 octa-core chipset, 5.5-inch 1080P AMOLED screen, 6GB or 8GB RAM, 64GB or 128GB storage, and dual cameras.

You can also view the event at OnePlus US website.

 

We exclusively claimed through our past leaks that the OnePlus 5 would either come with a combination of 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, or an 8GB RAM and 128GB Storage. We also shared the pricing of both the variants in India – Rs. 32,999 and Rs. 37,999 respectively. The Verge recently posted a video showcasing iPhone-like dual camera setup on the OnePlus 5, i.e. our first leaked camera samples showcased software rendered bokeh effect, which was a portrait mode like feature present in the OnePlus 5. The second set of camera samples also had a few images with shallow depth of field, and in the same article, with an update, the leak suggested a 20-megapixel camera. Furthermore, leaks have also induced perplexity as to whether the phone will sport a 3,300 mAh battery or 4,000 mAh battery. Since our last exclusive leak, coming from a viable source, claimed it to be a 4,000 mAh LiPo battery, and suggested 3 color variants: Slate Grey, Soft Gold, and Deep Black.
