Just seen an article saying we might get 1+ 5 in April.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus will launch the successor to OnePlus 3 this year. The Chinese tech firm will skip launching the OnePlus 4 and directly unveil the OnePlus 5 that is expected to feature a ceramic body and be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. This year's edition of OnePlus is expected to be waterproof and sport a 5.5 inch Quad HD AMOLED display.

There have not been many talks about the next 'flagship killer' from OnePlus but the promise of featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and an even bigger RAM has got OnePlus enthusiasts excited. The OnePlus 5 is expected to be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 835 SoC and is likely to earn an extra 2GB of RAM for a total 8GB. This year's flagship model is likely to be seen as early as April 2017.

It is being said that the OnePlus 5 will be available in five colour variants including gold, white, black, ceramic and blue. If you are wondering why OnePlus is skipping OnePlus 4 and launching the 5th edition directly, then you should know that in China number four is considered unlucky.

It is also expected to house a big 4,000 mAh battery with an internal storage of 64GB. The OnePlus 5 is also expected to run on the Android 7.0 Nougat.

On the camera front, the OnePlus 5's camera might feature a new flash feature - the retina flash and sport a 16 megapixel rear camera along with a 8 megapixel rear camera.

The upcoming OnePlus 5 might also have D-touch facilities coupled with a fingerprint sensor and quick charging.
 
Will be disappointing if they creep the price up again. Before we know it there won't be much in it between OP and the other more mainstream manufacturer's prices.

Maybe I'm being cynical :p
 
yes and no, oneplus's are going up at greater than inflation / brexit to the point as like said above they arnt the value they used to be compared to other suppliers with better support and better software updates and bug fixes for example a 3t is now 400 quid you can pick up an s7 for only 50/60 quid more than that with a bit of shopping around, with a better screen better camera waterproofing and sd card slot. Once they start butting up to the prices of the big boys they will start to loose business and followers and if they start getting up to 450/460 they will just price themselves out of the market and it will be a no brainer to stick with bigger more established companies
 
This is my concern. Although the only other phone I'd have is probably a Pixel, which for an equivalent 5.5" is £720, so we're probably a few years away till the price creeps up that far :p
