OnePlus 7 leaked live image reveals notch-less sliding camera design

OnePlus has now become a household name. The company started its operations back in 2013 as a kickstarter project with the OnePlus One and the OnePlus 6T is its best representation of how great an affordable phone can be. After launching the OnePlus 3, OnePlus released a slightly upgraded variant of the same with the moniker OnePlus 3T, and since then its been followed for every new OnePlus device launch.

OnePlus' next flagship will be called the OnePlus 7 and the leaks have started coming in already. The company is expected to showcase the OnePlus 7 smartphone in Q2 of 2019.

The first OnePlus 7 leak comes courtesy of CoolAPK (removed), later reposted by SlashLeaks, a discussion platform where anonymous users share images/details of upcoming devices. The image leaked shows an unknown OnePlus smartphone (on the left) besides the latest OnePlus 6T smartphone (on the right), both in a protective case.

The device on the left happens to have a full-screen bezel-less display with no waterdrop notch as seen on the 6T. The bezels on the edges are also minimal and the right side hosts the alert slider with the power button just below it. It can be clearly noticed that the alert slider has a red paint job, not seen on any OnePlus device.

Following the legacy, OnePlus today has officially announced the OnePlus 5T smartphone, which follows the recent trend of 18:9 display, providing a whole new front design compared to its predecessor.

Like the OnePlus 5, the 5T will also come in two variants, one with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage and the other with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The prior has been priced at the US $499 / Rs. 32,999 in India and the latter will cost US $559 / Rs. 37,999. The Indian pricing is exactly similar to the Indian launch price of the OnePlus 5.

Original (14 June 2017 - 9:23 AM IST) - In the past couple of years, I have seen many new companies entering into the smartphone business. OnePlus is among those many companies. Some succeeded in getting public attention, whereas some are still struggling. But, the level of growth OnePlus has achieved since the launch of the OnePlus One is unbelievable.

Three years down the road, OnePlus is all geared up to launch its next flagship killer smartphone called the OnePlus 5. If you are wondering where did the OnePlus 4 go, it's the Chinese superstitions to blame. It is said that, in China, 4 is the unluckiest number and it refers to death or disease. Thus, OnePlus is playing safe and has named it's next flagship smartphone the OnePlus 5. Besides that, the OnePlus 5 will actually be company's 5th flagship smartphone after the OnePlus One, Two, 3 and 3T.

OnePlus has officially confirmed the name and has revealed that the company would be globally launching the OnePlus 5 on June 20th. OnePlus India has confirmed that the same will land in India on June 22nd. The event scheduled in India is set to take place at NSCI Dome, Worli, Mumbai.
