OnePlus is expected to include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, 8GB of RAM, and dual cameras

OnePlus has published a teaser image of the OnePlus 5 design

OnePlus 5 will launch this summer, the Chinese startup has confirmed.

The company will skip the OnePlus 4 moniker entirely, jumping ahead to OnePlus 5 for the successor to last year's OnePlus 3T.

The reason behind the movie is tetraphobia – a widespread superstition, most common in East Asian nations, that associates the number four with bad luck.

One possible reason for the prevalence of this superstition is because in China, the number four is almost homophonous with the word for "death" or "decease".

OnePlus confirmed the name of its next phone to technology blog The Verge.

A flurry of leaks have already appeared online, hinting at a dual camera set-up, and edge-to-edge display.

And now, GSM Arena has obtained the first benchmark test for the upcoming handset.
