The OnePlus 5 is one of the most highly anticipated smartphones of 2017, and while the company is trickling out the nitty-gritty details, plenty of rumors and leaks are already making rounds online.
Just to be clear, there's no such thing as the OnePlus 4, and that's because it's an unlucky number in China, the home country of the manufacturer.

Core specs are still up in the air, but rumors teeter-totter between high-end ranges: To no one's surprise, the OnePlus 5's specs aren't set in stone just yet, except for the Snapdragon 835. For what it's worth, the word in town is that it'll have a 5.5-inch display with a QHD resolution (1,440 x 2,560), 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel dual-camera configuration, an 8-megapixel front snapper, 4G LTE connectivity, a 3,600 mAh or 4,000 mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner.
OnePlus 5 may feature the latest Bluetooth: Since it has Snapdragon 835 under the hood, it could support Bluetooth 5, which is evidenced by Qualcomm's specification sheet for the chip. However, OnePlus hasn't confirmed this.
It might go the way of the iPhone 7 when it comes to the 3.5 mm jack: Not much to hash out here, but cofounder Carl Pei tweeted a joke regarding the audio jack.

That's not much to go by, but it could mean two things: the headphone port is now on top or it's been scrapped. The latter isn't unlikely too since the OnePlus 5 will be the slimmest of something, after all.
