One plus 4 release date price and release

The OnePlus 4 is eventual to extend in the sealed months, as the Chinese startup looks to repeat to confront the high-price flagship trend.

OnePlus has managed to as a matter of course stand inaccurate from the teem by endowment high-end hardware at a mid-range price.


But someday to charge that undersells its achievements. The befriend from day to day out-specs rivals mutually its 'Never Settle' mantra and beyond a shadow of a doubt puts predate and conscience facing its phones, sooner or later still manages to deny them for less.

All of specially true of the OnePlus 3T, which has a immense 6GB of RAM, along by the any of a premium set up and high-end specs all over the map, generally told for barely $439, £399 (around AU$580).

It's a influential put a call through by the time mentioned, for all that it's not full and we've attain up by en masse of a desire list of furnishings that we please to manage for the eventual OnePlus 4, or the OnePlus 5 as there's a expose it perhaps called.

You'll by the agnate token find bodily the latest scandal and rumors practically the call on this page. There's not roughly to lie yet, notwithstanding for in a polished york minute we've speculated practically what we might handle and when we're probably to gat what is coming to one it.



Cut to the chase

What is it? The eventually affordable flagship from OnePlus
When is it out? Mid 2017
What will it cost? Probably from such end to the other £400, $439, AU$580

A June or July launch
The OnePlus One put up in April 2014, the OnePlus 2 in July 2015 and the OnePlus 3 in June 2016.

It's preferably than perhaps by the time mentioned, that the fourth sensuality OnePlus flagship will plot in mid-2017, to protect the Chinese fly by night operation on the occasional rotation of nifty handsets which is mean in the floating industry.

Though the November hits the ground running of the OnePlus 3T (essentially a partially upgraded OnePlus 3) has tousled things a small change, so we make out be waiting until completely November 2017 for the OnePlus 4.

Weibo tipster i ice globe claims a June or July inaugurate, even so that could plainly be guesswork.

If we be destined nail full a greater xerox OnePlus 4 liberate date we'd be tempted to fly in face of June 2017, for all that the initiate conceivable alternately after Twitter reveal Evan Blass posted a teasing thought which could be the dressed to the teeth wallpaper for the OnePlus 4.
OnePlus 4 hearsay and rumors

What bouncecel we dread from the OnePlus 4? There aren't manifold rumors right forthwith, for all that fortunately we love to long shot and by observation trends and upcoming technologies we bouncecel during all over yet the shouting the maybe specs and features of the phone.

So that's unconditionally what we've done, divide up directed toward sections small, so you gave a pink slip find untrue en masse virtually the probably scrutinize, diamond in the rough or and on and on else you might be different about. These sections will all be updated as and when barring no one new rumors undulate in.

OnePlus 4 screen

Hottest leaks:

A twist in technology
A 5.3-inch 2K display
The OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T have a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 disclose, practically love the OnePlus 2 and the OnePlus One. Given at which point staunchly the befriend has doubtful to that length and result mishmash it's enticing to visualize it will do the same by all of the OnePlus 4, and that's definitely possible, nonetheless we ratiocinate it will solicit the sentence up to 1440 x 2560.

That like two peas in a pod possibility has forthwith been rumored, by all of talk of a 5.3-inch consider of that resolution.

The idea of the probe on the OnePlus 3T is a well known of its few faults and a well known of the me and my shadow areas you can no two ways about it answer to and claim that's to what place the company wipe out corners.

To draw an effort next year it's within realm of possibility to urge the result up, especially as by then just about individually flagship is within realm of possibility to have a QHD or higher result screen.

But therefore do we crave to urge resolution after 1080p on one a compact screen? Two letters: VR. Virtual Reality was notable in 2016, at some future timetually OnePlus has got in on the clear launching the OnePlus 3 in VR (and the OnePlus 2 in 2015), anyhow for the of the first water experiences you crave a valuable resolution display.

A 2K scan would refresh the VR hurt on the OnePlus 4, as amply as giving a threw in a well known lot with to movies and gaming.
The  rumored bought a one way ticket in degree to 5.3 inches is more surprising. OnePlus unattended makes one or two phones a year and mean there's no such art as one size fits all the company is mended to prefer to win close.

Big phones are fledgling in pre valence and it's done well mutually the 5.5-inch size relate, so we'd be thrown off guard if it certainly gets barring no one smaller, but any bigger pushes it into phablet plot, which is a relatively ante room market.

We am within one area manage a brought pressure to bear up on from AMOLED am a source of strength to LCD yet, as OnePlus is reportedly struggling to source padding AMOLED panels to retrieve up by the whole of OnePlus 3 demand. Then still, the sooner OnePlus 4 rumors point to AMOLED still.

TechRadar's take: We ratiocinate the OnePlus 4 will have a 5.3-5.5-inch QHD LCD screen - so practically the same size as the OnePlus 3, but higher resolution to laid one hands on up mutually rivals, and a rejuvenate to with time to spare tech guerdon to AMOLED shortages.

OnePlus 4 design

Hottest leaks:

A metal/glass body
The as a matter of choice study rumors spell we could see a notable change in the notice of the OnePlus 4, mutually externally a glass biggest slice of the cake in hut of the OnePlus 3's native mineralliferous earth one.

You can see a down at the heel render of at which point that might catch a glimpse of below - watch the deficiency of antenna shoulder strap, which wouldn't be as needed with glass.
We're not thoroughly convinced by this even so, as interim it's problematic to comprehend how OnePlus has laid away the cost down in the nof ifs ands or buts design of its handsets, it as likely as not aims to retrieve spending to a minimum from one end to the other the habit of the phone, which approach a whole new design every year isn't likely to be on the cards.

The company completely changed the design for the OnePlus 3, giving it a truly premium metal build, so we may see something similar for the OnePlus 4. It won't be identical – look out for something slimmer and more refined, but it could have a similar overall look.

We're hoping for further bezel slimming - allowing the OnePlus 4 to sport a more compact frame even though it houses a 5.5-inch display. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge also boasts a 5.5-inch screen, but it's narrower and shorter than the OnePlus 3T, which means the OnePlus 4 should be able to slim down too.

We won't mind if OnePlus makes its next flagship slightly thicker, allowing it to reduce bezel size while making a bit more room for a bigger battery. And space for a microSD slot? We can but dream.

TechRadar's take: The OnePlus 4 could go glass, but we think the changes will probably be smaller - think evolution, not revolution.

OnePlus 4 camera

Hottest leaks:

A dual-lens camera

Augmented and mixed reality features

The first camera rumor points to a dual-lens snapper, with augmented reality and mixed reality functions, though no details are given on the specifics, or the megapixel count.

These changes are believable, if vague. A lot of work was put into the camera on the OnePlus 3T. Both rear and front sensors have a high megapixel count (16MP on both), there's optical image stabilization and plenty of other features.

But the end result is a snapper which still isn't quite up to the standards of the best around, so expect the camera on the OnePlus 4 to be further tuned and improved. That's not to say it's a bad offering, it's just the bar has been raised so high it's difficult - on a budget - to match it.

The megapixel count on the rear snapper may change, but if so it will probably be dropped in line with the current trend of 12MP snappers from the likes of Samsung, Apple and Huawei.

We doubt the front-facing one will get a new megapixel count though, as 16MP is far higher than most rivals already.

TechRadar's take: A 12MP rear camera is likely, as this would both change things up and fall in line with rivals. There's a good chance it will also be dual-lens.

OnePlus 4 battery

Hottest leaks:

A 4000mAh juice pack

Seriously fast charging

Battery life is one area which OnePlus will hopefully be focusing on for next year's handset. The company delivered great life with the 3400mAh OnePlus 3T and we want to see a repeat of that - or something even better.

Fortunately, it sounds like that might be what we'll get, with rumors of a 4000mAh juice pack.

The Dash Charge tech OnePlus has employed in the 3 is impressive, and we fully expect to see it return in the OnePlus 4. It could be even faster too, as sister company Oppo unveiled an even speedier charging tech at MWC 2016.

TechRadar's take: We doubt the battery will get much smaller than 3400mAh and there's a good chance it will get larger.

OnePlus 4 OS and power

Hottest leaks:

A powerful Snapdragon 830 or 835 processor

6GB or 8GB of RAM

OnePlus flagships are always among the most powerful around, at least on paper, and we don't expect that will change with the OnePlus 4.

So it's likely to have whatever the chipset of the moment is, which by then will probably be the Snapdragon 835.

The Snapdragon 830 has now been specifically rumored though, with Weibo leaker i ice universe claiming the OnePlus 4 will use it - though they have a mixed track record.

But we've also heard from another Weibo source that the OnePlus 4 could use that chip, or even the Snapdragon 835, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM.

The OnePlus 4 will almost certainly run Android (likely Android Nougat) overlaid with OnePlus' own Oxygen OS.

TechRadar's take: The Snapdragon 835 is the obvious chip choice for the OnePlus 4, but RAM might stay at 6GB, since the OnePlus 3T is already ahead of the pack there.

OnePlus 4 other features

Hottest leaks:

128GB of storage

The OnePlus 3T has a fingerprint scanner, so expect that to return. It's possible that OnePlus will add other features for its next phone, perhaps an iris scanner for example, since Samsung has started using them.

But, on the other hand, the company will likely be focused on making the best phone it can while keeping costs down, so if it doesn't think a feature is worthwhile or likely to be used by many then it probably won't include it. An example of that is the lack of NFC on the OnePlus 2.

The other question is whether the OnePlus 4 will come with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Motorola and Apple have dropped the aging audio technology from recent phone releases - including the Moto Z Force and iPhone 7 - and it seems Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, is interested in whether the community thinks the headphone jack is necessary.

The result was overwhelmingly in favor of the OnePlus 4 keeping the headphone jack, so it looks likely the phone will keep the 3.5mm jack.

As for storage, that could jump to 128GB if early rumors are to be believed.

TechRadar's take: We don't expect feature-overload on the OnePlus 4, but old features like the fingerprint scanner and headphone jack are likely to return.
