As everyone are eager to buy a mobile which runs like a god of hell. Here it's coming on this summer. Good things happen those who waits 😋.
The OnePlus 5 will arrive in the coming months, as the Chinese startup has now confirmed the name of its next flagship smartphone and that it will arrive during 'Summer 2017'.
OnePlus has managed to consistently stand out from the crowd by offering high-end hardware at a mid-range price, but even to say that undersells its achievements.
The company often out-specs rivals with its 'Never Settle' mantra and clearly puts time and thought into its phones, yet still manages to sell them for less.
All of that is true of the OnePlus 3T, which has a massive 6GB of RAM, along with a premium build and high-end specs throughout, all for just $439, £399 (around AU$580).
It's a remarkable phone then, but it's not perfect and we've come up with a wish list of things that we want to see for the OnePlus 5.
You'll find all the latest news and rumors about the OnePlus 5 on this page, along with speculation and analysis to fill in the gaps.

The OnePlus 5 isn't far off now, so here's our top ten wish list for the next flagship phone. Check it out below and let us know if we missed anything that you want to see.
1. A QHD screen
OnePlus has stuck with a 1080p display since day one and with each passing year it becomes that little bit more questionable.
It's still fine, but noticeably less sharp than a QHD display and it's becoming less and less flagship-worthy, so we're hoping for a jump in resolution next year.
Arguably that's more important than power improvements, given that there's not much that can tax top-end phones at this point anyway.
2. More storage and room for expansion
The OnePlus 3 comes with 64GB of storage, which is a generous amount, especially for the price. But there are no other options, so if you want more you can't have it and equally if you don't need that much and would rather pay a little less for something smaller that's not an option either.
Worse, there's no microSD card slot, so you really are limited to what's built in. That 64GB will probably be enough for most people, but not for everyone, so it would be great if the OnePlus 4 gives us room for expansion.
3. Sharper snaps
As high-spec and feature-packed as the camera on the OnePlus 3 is it's not perfect, with shots sometimes coming out blurry and a little dark, especially when the lighting isn't ideal.
We don't need more megapixels next year, but hopefully OnePlus will further tune and polish the camera so it can take shots that rival the best phones around.
4. Double tap to sleep
One handy feature on the OnePlus 3 is being able to double tap the screen to turn it on, but we'd like to see that being taken a step further, with you also being able to double tap the screen when it is on to turn it off.
This might take some work, to ensure that the phone knows when you mean to do that and when you're just vigorously tapping an application or on-screen button, but it would be a neat, time-saving feature if they can make it work.
5. A more inspired design
The OnePlus 3 is undeniably a good looking phone, in fact it looks great, with a metal unibody and a comfortably curved shape. It's a big improvement on theOnePlus 2 then, but it also looks a lot like plenty of other phones, with more than a passing resemblance to the HTC 10 andiPhone 6S.
That's not a huge problem, after all there's only so much you can do with a rectangle and most manufacturers are borrowing at least a little from rivals, but if the OnePlus 4 is to wow on more than just its price, then a different, unique design would really help.
6. Two days of life
The OnePlus 3 has more RAM, a faster processor and a higher spec camera than the OnePlus 2, but the battery has shrunk.
With Dash charging you can juice it up quickly, but that doesn't help when you're nowhere near a charger, so we'd really like to see improvements in life for the OnePlus 4, either through a larger juice pack or just optimizations.
The OnePlus 3 aims (and largely succeeds) to last a day, but two days of life would be vastly preferable. That way even if you typically stick to a nightly charge you can be confident that it will see you through if you forget or are unable.
7. Waterproofing
While the OnePlus 3 looks great it can't survive a soaking, which is a problem, given that 71% of the Earth's surface is covered in water.
Waterproofing still isn't a standard feature on phones, but we'd like it to be, especially high-end ones, so hopefully the OnePlus 4 will join the club.
8. Stronger speakers
The OnePlus 3 has a single downward firing speaker, which can pump out audio at a pleasing volume but has a tendency to distort if you turn it up too high.
So it would be nice to see a strong speaker in the OnePlus 4. Better yet two speakers, and not on the bottom where they can easily become covered. Improvements to audio through headphones would also be welcome, such as the ability to upscale music quality.
9. A curved screen
Curved screens are likely to become more and more common over the next couple of years. Samsung has embraced them and might be going curves-only for the Galaxy S8.
Apple is also rumored to be adding curves to its phones in the near future and once that happens everyone is likely to follow, so it's not too far-fetched to think that OnePlus might.
Of course curves for the sake of curves could be pointless, but Samsung has shown how they can be genuinely beneficial with Edge screen functions and we'd like to see OnePlus follow suit, or come up with its own uses for curves.
10. A dual-lens camera
The OnePlus 4 is bound to have a better camera than the OnePlus 3, but we don't just want a better camera, we want an extra lens, giving it more versatility.
An implementation a bit like the LG G5 – where one lens is specifically designed for wide-angle shots, would be great. Then the other can be a standard one along the lines of what the OnePlus 3 has, so users will have the tools to take great shots in almost any situation.
