First official teaser confirms 'OnePlus 5' moniker and launch window

OnePlus has just released its first teaser image on the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, confirming the 'OnePlus 5' moniker and its summer launch window. The teaser message just reads "Hello 5" suggesting that the next flagship phone from OnePlus will be called OnePlus 5 and not OnePlus 4 as the number 4 is considered to be a bad omen in China given its association with death.

Another key message from OnePlus reads: "Hey Summer! Give me five!" which yet again confirms the arrival of OnePlus 5 in one of the summer months. Although there is no word on the precise launch date for the flagship OnePlus handset, it is almost certain that the OnePlus 5 will show up by the end of June or sometime in July.

As far as the specifications are concerned, the OnePlus 5 will ship with a 5.5in full HD or Quad HD display and will feature the fastest Snapdragon 835 chipset onboard. Among other noteworthy features, it will include a dual-camera setup and a massive 3,600mAh battery with fast-charging capability.
