OnePlus 5 gets teased by CEO, an announcement seems imminent

OnePlus 5 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the summer and rightfully so. The Chinese company always managed to surprise customers with its “flagship killers, ” and there's a high chance it will happen again this year.

The next top-tier smartphone coming from the Android OEM is the OnePlus 5, as we've reported many times in the past. The company is expected to skip the number 4 from the name of one of its products since it symbolizes “death” in the Chinese culture.

So, the OnePlus 5 has been recently teased by CEO Pete Lau, who posted an artsy picture of the device. Unfortunately, there's not much we can tell from this pictures, but since the number of teases and information leaked about the phone is on the rise, there's a high chance the OnePlus 5 will be announced in the coming weeks.

If we are to guess, OnePlus may announce its next flagship sometime in June, but the phone might not be available on the market until July. From what we've been able to gather until now, the OnePlus 5 is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, a dual-curved edge Quad HD display, and a 3,000 mAh battery.

Also, the OnePlus 5 may include either 6GB or 8GB RAM (a bit of an overkill?), paired with 256GB of internal memory. For the first time, a OnePlus smartphone might boast a dual-camera setup.
