Latest rumored OnePlus 5 specs include 8GB of RAM

Because the number 4 in Chinese is considered bad luck (it looks like the Chinese word for death), OnePlus is expected to go from the OnePlus 3T to the OnePlus 5. According to a report out of China, the OnePlus 5 is going to continue the manufacturer's use of high end specs. Just like the OnePlus 3 was one of the first handsets to sport 6GB of RAM, the newest speculation has the OnePlus 5 employing 8GB of Random Access Memory. To put that in perspective, that is twice the amount found in today's flagship models.

The Snapdragon 835 chipset will power the new unit, which means that it will feature an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 540 GPU. The display will have reduced bezels in line with most of 2017's high-end handsets, and OnePlus is expected to finally make the jump to a 1440 x 2560 resolution screen. It would be the first OnePlus phone not to be equipped with a 1080 x 1920 (FHD) panel. The report says to expect a dual-camera setup on the next OnePlus handset, which could arrive in the second half of the year. The price will be a tad under $500.

After the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T, the company's reputation is such that even hearing a rumor that includes 8GB of RAM doesn't seem so far fetched. Still, we would suggest taking this story with the proverbial grain of salt.
