OnePlus 4 news: top rumored specs and features for the next-gen smartphone

While Apple and Samsung are arguably the top contenders for smartphone manufacturers in the world, smaller device makers are also bringing in some great products to the tech market. Case in point is the One Plus 3T by Chinese company OnePlus, which made heads turn when it made its debut just last month. Although the release is relatively new, its impressive specs, coupled with a decent price tag, make tech buffs excited for what comes next for the budding the market game player.

Various reports suggest that OnePlus is already done milking the OnePlus 3 line and is now ready to go ahead with its next main iteration, which is OnePlus 4. At this point, it may still be quite a while before any official word from the Shenzhen, Guangdong-based group will come out. Good thing that the online world is full of observing tech geeks who make time to notice some plausible particulars for the upcoming smartphone.

Rumors are rife that despite the 3T having arguably a good size of 5.5in 1,080p active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), the next one may be a bit smaller, with a 5.3-inch display. The reason for it? OnePlus is putting more on the performance than the screen size as an impressive 2K AMOLED is said to be coming to the device. This makes it a good jump in terms of upgrading the specs to a full, high touch display, which has not been changed from the original iteration of the line.

Camera-wise, the OnePlus 4 may be jumping on the bandwagon of having a dual-camera setup but not without putting its own spin into it. Some are suggesting that the upcoming device will have augmented and mixed reality as standard features.

It can also be expected that the next-generation smartphone will bring a better processor for a faster smartphone. Currently, there are two variants in terms of what are offered under the hood: OnePlus 4 will be sporting either 6GB or 8GB of random-access memory (RAM). Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 or 835 processor, on the other hand, are the top two contenders in terms of chipsets. The phone will then be housed by either a speculated ceramic shell or a glass case iteration.

Tracking down OnePlus's history, the supposed OnePlus 4 may get its launch sometime between summer and autumn. Until then can consumers try ticking their specs-boxes with what of the reported features turned into fruition and what simply remained theories.
