Although OnePlus 3 released this year, rumors are already rife about the next iteration phone. OnePlus 3 has an affordable price, but the upcoming smartphone may be the ultimate flagship killer, as it is fondly called, that will reportedly compete with Apple's iPhone 7.
There are many rumors about the upcoming OnePlus 4. The smartphone will reportedly come with 8 GB of RAM and a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 SoC. According to WCCF Tech, the Snapdragon 830 processor will be built on the 10nm, becoming the first chipset for such innovation.
Qualcomm is improving the homegrown Kryo cores on Snapdragon 830 processor for better power consumption. On the other hand, OnePlus 4 will feature Google's latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS.
With regard to the camera, OnePlus 4 will have more impressive camera features than its precursor, and it may even surpass the features in most phones today. Besides the smartphone coming with 256 GB microSD capability, the OnePlus 4 will sport 23MP rear camera, which is an improvement over the OnePlus 3's 16MP camera, according to Android Headlines. The upcoming device will also have an 8MP front camera with Sony's sensor integration.
A feature that makes the OnePlus 4 a flagship killer is its great screen features. If rumors are to be believed, the upcoming smartphone from OnePlus may be the first handset in 2017 to sport a 4K resolution with an Optic OLED screen. The phone will reportedly have a 5.5-inch diagonal screen with an aluminum casing.
Apart from the OLED touch screen, the OnePlus 4 is rumored to use the latest 3D technology in smartphones. While the exact release date is yet to be unveiled, reports suggest that it will roll out between April and May next year.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus 4 may beat the iPhone 7, especially when it comes to pricing. iPhone 7 is going at approximately $899, but the next iteration from OnePlus will cost about $300 to $400.
As a result, the manufacturer is still maintaining affordability with top-on-line features. Here is a sneak peek for further details on OnePlus 4:
