The official launch of the OnePlus 5 is just days away and would-be buyers are all hyped about the latest flagship phone of the company. Fans - most especially in India - were given an early treat as the upcoming phone was shown during the nation's biggest and most watched sporting event.

OnePlus' Indian arm recently released a TV ad during the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Champions Trophy finals and viewers got quite a surprise as it featured the OnePlus 5 boasting both of its back and front panels. It may well also seem that the Chinese tech firm is heavily betting on their upcoming premium handset as the promotional ad showcased India's best talents such as Sushant Singh Rajput and Amitabh Bachchan not to mention it was shown during a cricket match that is being watched by over 300 million people, according to XDA Developers.

The company also took the OnePlus 5 promotion to Twitter to take advantage of the then trending #IndvsPak asking folks what is their favorite moment with the handset's reveal. Such ad strategies are highly commendable as the company seemed to have anticipated that moment to unveil the phone to make more tech consumers fully aware of the device's arrival.

Per GSM Arena, the OnePlus 5 will have a 5.5-inch optic AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 resolution. The phone is expected to be preinstalled with an Android Nougat (7.1.1) operating system alongside Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 SoC and an Adreno 540 graphics processing unit.

Furthermore, camera rumors about the OnePlus 5 fit well in the bag as it was revealed with a dual camera setup that is horizontally fixed on the handset's upper left corner of its back portion. Its price was not revealed during the run of the ad, but it is believed to be at $550.

The OnePlus 5 will be out on June 20 in other regions while India will have it a couple of days after. Check out the promotional ad of the phone here:
