OnePlus 5 has been one of the most awaited smartphones of this year. It was long expected that the phone will have a dual camera. These expectations have been more confirmed after the release of a sketch of the new OnePlus 5. The sketch was released online on Sunday, 4th June 2017. According to the sketch, the phone will have a dual camera with two sensors arranged horizontally in the top-left corner of the phone. Although the phone will have the same physical buttons as in the previous models, the dual LED will be placed right next to the main camera.
The release date of the phone was first announced to be 15th June. However, the release date of 15th June was cancelled as the Chinese Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) decided to launch it on some other date in the same month. Now the company has announced that its latest smartphone will be formally launched on June 20th at 12PM ET. The release “event” will be streamed online.
