    No IP rating is a disappointment.

    I'd be dubious enough anyway the more I look at it. The photo looks like a OnePlus 3 doctored to show a dual lens on the back.

    I'm mad to upgrade and as I use my phone out cycling, the waterproofing would be ideal. I have a OP2 and I'm always worried when we have rain.

    The leaks are picking up steam now so I'd say we aren't far away from an official press release. It's this or a Note 7 for me, if I can get my hands on one.

    I cant see the OP5 being under 500 quid for what they are offering. Its still a great price though if the rumored specs are correct. Fingers crossed for an IP rating.

    Would love to see a 5000 mah battery, that would certainly blow the other companies out of the water.

    Only thing im hoping for is a substantial improvement in camera performance. The only reason I moved on from oneplus after the 2.

    Too similar to the 3 to warrant an upgrade?
    Or am I being pedantic? :)

    Isn't 6GB of RAM in a phone complete overkill. The camera and battery is what sell phones.

    Screen too. I'd be slightly concerned about going from a Samsung display to this.

    What are OnePlus screens (IPS isn't it?) like for burn in? That's the only disadvantage of the Samsung one, as nice as it is my S7 edge is destroyed with Android Auto burn.

    I don't have any burn in and I use Android Auto for 2 hours per day. Had the 3T since a week after it was released. I came from an S5 and the screens are very similar. 3T is slightly too blue but I got used to that quickly and only remember it now when turning off night mode in the morning.

    I never had burn in with the S5 either and my wife still uses it. I didn't use Android auto at the time though.

    If there's anything to this then it'll be time to get the bluetooth headphones out.

    Or might just be back on top of the phone ;)

    Usb C is a better connector.
    Plus you'll get an adaptor anyway.
    No problemo :D

    He means the removal of headphone slot ...

    Its definitely a good thing that OnePlus will be working directly with DxOMark to improve their camera. HTC identified their camera as a weak point and since then have produced the 3 best mobile cameras (10, Pixel, U11).

    Only concerning thing is rumours of the OP5 being $650. People won't overlook weaknesses if its near flagship price.

    Yeah, I was too. I meant you'd get a headphone adaptor for the usb c slot :)

    Look, I know it's replacing 2 ports with one and a lot of people won't like it, which I completely understand.
    I'm just saying that all your headphones don't immediately become obsolete either :)
