First Microsoft, then Samsung, and now OnePlus is playing the slapdash counting game that would send a certain undead Sesame Street character who prides himself on such things into fits of bloodletting rage. Yes folks, the briefly rumoured OnePlus 4 may be skipped entirely in favour of a OnePlus 5 model, set to arrive in all its ceramic-bodied glory in 2017, if new rumours are to be believed.
The reason for this skip? Well it's one of those things we've heard before from other Asian manufacturers skipping certain number editions on the basis of that number being considered unlucky - in this case it's the number four, in OnePlus' home region of China, which is apparently not regarded particularly well.
The main rumour is that it'll feature a ceramic bodyshell made by the same firm which created the Xiomi Mi Mix's ceramic exterior - previously the OnePlus X was launched as a limited run model which also featured a ceramic build. It's believed, according to PhoneRadar's sources, that the OnePlus 5 will arrive in 2017's second quarter (April-June), while specs are pegged thusly:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor
- 6GB RAM
- 5.5in QHD AMOLED display
That's all for now, stay tuned for more as we hear it!
