OnePlus 5 Specs Update: 8GB RAM Equipped Device Shares Star Feature With Samsung Galaxy S8

OnePlus 5 is the new smartphone offering from the Chinese manufacturer, which oddly skips past number "4" as its naming scheme, given that its recent release was the OnePlus 3T. Meantime, new leaks suggest that the upcoming mobile device will have a number of stunning specs.

OnePlus 5 Rumored Specs Are Similar To The Samsung Galaxy S8

New OnePlus 5 leaks reveal that the new smartphone will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, which makes it equal to the Samsung Galaxy S8 since it also has the same chip. Under the hood, the phone will include an 8GB of RAM. Incidentally, the best phones reportedly come with a 6GB maximum like the OnePlus 3T.

However, such move should be expected, since OnePlus has been used to feature unprecedented RAM configurations before, with the release of OnePlus 3T in a market dominated by gadgets with only 4GB of RAM at most. However, reports suggest that 8GB remains an amazing figure for a smartphone, given that it is unusual for a phone to require an 8GB unless OnePlus is planning into something powerful like an advanced virtual reality platform, NDTV reported.

OnePlus 5 Is Set To Clash Against Nokia 9

OnePlus 5 and Nokia 9 flagship smartphones are currently on the tech headlines aside from the new iPhone 8. In fact, several concepts render of these devices are circulating around the web, giving an idea of the likely features to be expected.

The new OnePlus and Nokia 9, meantime, are rumored to unveil sometime this quarter as fans eagerly wait, despite the number of other upcoming smartphones that are also the subject of rumor mills. The reason could be that both are believed to come with premium phones with high-end specs without increasing the price tag to a great extent, Gizbot reported.
