The 5? And the 4? What happens in the east with the 4? For some time now some manufacturers are choosing to skip number four in their device numbering launching a vitamin version of the previous model. The last example we saw with the OnePlus 3T, launched a few months after the launch of the OnePlus 3. Avoiding the number 4 in Chinese culture has to do with its pronunciation, since it is very similar to the word death, hence in the East is considered an unlucky number such as 13 may be in other parts of the world. To avoid this superstition, the manufacturer OnePlus has already announced which will be the successor to the OnePlus 3T, it will be the OnePlus 5.
The main novelty that all the rumors point to is that the screen will be curved on its sides, as most manufacturers are doing, except LG with the latest model that it has presented to the market, the LG G6. According to the guys from PhoneArena, The fifth generation of the OnePlus could offer us a design very similar to the Galaxy S7 Edge, but unlike this, the material used would be ceramic, as in the Xiaomi Mi Mix, one of the terminals that has attracted the most attention in the last months of the year for practically eliminating the frames of the device.
Regarding the interior of the same, the manufacturer could choose extend the resolution of the cameras, both front and rear, up to 23 mpx on the back and at 15 mpx in the front. OnePlus seems to want to return to the war to see who adds more megapixels to the camera, a war that the main manufacturers abandoned to offer higher quality at a lower resolution with only 12 mpx. As its launch is not yet scheduled and having passed the exclusivity of Samsung with the Snapdragon 835, the OnePlus 5 would be managed with this processor and with up to 8 GB of RAM.
