OnePlus 5 leaks point to a more powerful phone than we had hoped

We are two weeks away from OnePlus’ long-awaited OnePlus 5 reveal. Thankfully, the company is holding a live event instead of its traditional virtual reality event so everyone can tune in live to see the reveal without any crazy cardboard headsets.

It seems that OnePlus’ teasers revealed some blurry details about the upcoming flagship. However, teasers are here to spill the beans and tell us what’s the upcoming OnePlus is all about. And today we are happy to bring you three new leaks!

1- RAM, RAM and more RAM

A new leak by Evan Blass claims that OnePlus 5 is coming with Snapdragon 835 clocked at 2.35 GHZ, and 8GB of RAM. Yeah, that’s double the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the same amount of memory of the base MacBook Pro model. All we hope for is some great RAM management software in Oxygen OS away from last year’s RAM controversy when software limited memory usage to just 4GB of the 6GB OnePlus 3 that they fixed in a later update.

“OnePlus 5 powered by 2.35GHz octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor and 8GB of RAM will release on 22 June 2017 as an exclusive at Amazon.in.”

2- Finally, a Signature Red OnePlus

One thing you’d expect from the red colored company is a red variant for the upcoming OnePlus 5. OnePlus has been shipping its smartphones in red boxes with beautiful red charging cables since the first OnePlus One. A leak on Weibo shows us the OnePlus 5 in five different colors. To be exact, after examining this leak, we can see that it can be just a hue change in Photoshop, but regardless of its origin, this is what the phone might look like in its signature red and a blue tone that oddly look similar to Google Pixel’s “Really Blue” color regardless of the odd button placement in the leak.
