According to PC Advisor report, OnePlus fans can expect OnePlus 5 to hit the marketshelves in May or June 2017. Nevertheless, several reports which were published since then claim that the company may actually be planning an April launch. OnePlus 5 is actually OnePlus 4.

In upcoming OnePlus 5 the Camera will be 22 MP rear one and 8-MP front-facing camera with autofocus laser feature. Device will boast a 4200 mAH battery capacity.
The OnePlus 5 release date is supposed to be the latter half of 2017. Report says that the release has something to do with the Snapdragon's 835 availability.
