OnePlus 5 Launched In Soft Gold Colour Variant

OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus 5 will be available in a limited edition gold colour variant. Much like the OnePlus 3, the new colour will be called the “Soft Gold” colour, it will be available with 6GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage. The new colour variant’s front is white, unlike the black front on the Slate Gray and Midnight Black colour variants. OnePlus has also announced that the Slate Gray colour variant will soon be available with 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage which was only available in 6GB RAM/64GB onboard storage till now.

OnePlus teased its followers on social media a few days ago that a new colour variant of the OnePlus 5 will be unveiled soon, and everyone anticipated a RED device. Prior to the launch of the OnePlus 5, it was speculated that it will be launched in a red as well as a blue colour variant. Sadly, that was not to be and OnePlus launched its 2017 flagship in a Slate Gray and Midnight Black colours. The Soft Gold colour is just like the one on the 3 and 3T and has a soft finish at the back.

Keeping OnePlus 5’s design and the dual camera setup’s uncanny resemblance to the iPhone 7 Plus in mind, a RED colour variant was not a far-fetched idea. All of that, however, it was just speculation as the Soft Gold variant was announced on 7th August. The new limited edition colour variant will be an Amazon exclusive but the date for India launch has not been announced yet.

OnePlus recently rolled out OxygenOS update 4.5.7 which seemingly fixed EIS (electronic image stabilisation) in 4K video in the OnePlus 5 and even featured a new Slate font. However, soon after the update there were reports of the device facing stutters during gaming and battery drain issues for Jio users. These complaints along with previous reports of a jelly scrolling effect prompted OnePlus to abort the 4.5.7 update. OnePlus later announced that it has started rolling out 4.5.8 update fixing the issues while featuring EIS in 4K video and the new font.

The white front on the new colour of variant of the OnePlus 5, makes its lack of an edge-to-edge display that more prominent and the look of the phone doesn’t hold up against many flagships of 2017 so far. Apart from the colour, the new variant of the OnePlus 5 has all the flagship specifications just like the other two variants. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Chipset along with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. The device has a 3,300mAh battery, a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 px AMOLED display and a 16MP and 20MP dual camera setup at the back. The 20MP camera is a telephoto lens that enables 2X lossless optical zoom.

OnePlus 5 Receives Update Fixing EIS In 4K Video

OnePlus burst onto the scene in 2014 by claiming that its device, the OnePlus One had flagship specifications on a budget price. OnePlus further delivered on the promise with its OnePlus 2, 3 and 3T. After the success of its first four devices, the OnePlus 5 was heavily anticipated.

Despite the controversies and design plagiarism claims, OnePlus 5 was well-received for its premium user experience and snappy performance. OnePlus has finally started rolling out an OxygenOS update that brings in EIS for 4K videos.

The company had removed optical image stabilisation (OIS) from the OnePlus 5 and capped EIS to only 1080P videos. The decision to discontinue OIS in OnePlus 5 which featured on the cheaper 3T raised a few eyebrows, but OnePlus promised that an update will fix that issue. Lack of OIS meant that the OnePlus 5 had shaky low-light performance and the 4K video quality was heavily panned.

The OxygenOS 4.5.7 update, which is now rolling out to users in a phased manner, brings along EIS feature for 4K recording, as per the changelog posted by the company. This feature brings image stabilisation to 4K videos for more stable footage from the OnePlus 5. Apart from the EIS, the update also brings along a new OnePlus Slate font, which will offer font customisation option to the users. The OxygenOS update, additionally comes with July security patch for the OnePlus 5, along with the latest GMS (Google Mobile Services). The company says that the update brings along optimisations for Wi-Fi connectivity, standby battery life, and automatic backlight adjustments.

OnePlus has also recently teased a new colour variant, widely rumoured to be Soft Gold for the 2017 flagship. The company finally looks set to leave the controversies in the past and move ahead with strengthening its current device with timely updates.

NOTE– OnePlus has aborted the OxygenOS update 4.5.7 due to complaints of gaming glitches and battery drain for Jio users. OnePlus has announced that it is rolling out 4.5.8 update fixing all the bugs as well as bringing EIS to 4K video recording and the new Slate font to all OnePlus 5 devices.

OnePlus Just Blatantly Copied Moto’s Advertisement

Yesterday OnePlus posted a media on their social media platforms showing the OnePlus 5 in a grey colour with the 50 Shades of Grey tag “Mr. Grey will See you now” with one small change, with the word “grey” spelt “Gray” which is a more American way of writing the word.

This image seems to be an exact copy of an image Moto tweeted for the “grey” Moto M. While the meme for “Mr. Grey will see you now” is a popular and open concept. It seems that not only did OnePlus get inspired by the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus as far is design is concerned, the company is also seeking inspiration in creative campaigns for social media.

Mr. Grey is ready to see you all, are you? #HelloGrey.

OnePlus just sent out information that the OnePlus 5 will be the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 based phone in India.

OnePlus 3T To Have Snapdragon 821 Upto 128 GB Storage and Dual Cameras

OnePlus may be working on a dual camera phone of their own. The OnePlus 3T hit the rumour mill a few days back however, information has been scanty. Reports of a Snapdragon 821 chipset have emerged from various sources and one of the OnePlus designers has posted on their Weibo account using the device.

The OnePlus 3t comes after reports that OnePlus has stopped the 3’s production and is working towards a new device due to unavailability of the AMOLED displays. Carl Pei, the company’s founder claimed that AMOLED is the way ahead via a tweet, but the reality of manufacturing for sustained periods may be limited due to stock availability. However the OnePlus 3t is expected to continue the Optic AMOLED display along with storage options up to 128 GB.

OnePlus will be staying with Optic AMOLED displays for the foreseeable future.

— Carl Pei (@getpeid) October 13, 2016

Can the OnePlus 3 Have a 16 MP Front and 8 MP Main Camera

What seems to have been missed even by us, but noticed by some of our readers is the fact that the marketing fumble by OnePlus in the OnePlus 3 print AD mentions a camera anomaly of a 16 MP front and an 8 MP rear camera.

We spoke to our source who is tied closely with the Indian launch and he had no comment on the matter.

The Images leaked my OnePlus CEO, clicked by the OnePlus 3’s main camera seem to be low in resolution, and while many have not been able to measure the exact size, most image sharing sites tend to compress the actual image to get any real information regarding the main camera.

In a time where people are clicking more selfies than rear pictures, could OnePlus have chosen to swap cameras around, or is it simply more salt to the marketing fumble, and luckily they misprinted the specs too.

Either way everything will be revealed at 10PM tonight.

OnePlus 3 Outed by Company Marketing Fumble; Costs Rs 27999

Someone at OnePlus must be going through a tough time, as the company seems to have fumbled the release of its print AD on the 14th of June instead of the the actual 16th June release.

The phone which will be an Amazon exclusive will launch for a price of Rs 27999 for the 6GB RAM + 64 GB variant which is Rs. 2000 below the recently launched LeEco Le Max 2 with similar specs.

OnePlus users will also get access to 12 months of Saavn Pro and Idea double data for the same period. The company is also providing 1-year of accidental damage protection with OnePlus Care. Previous leaks have told us that the 4GB + 32GB variant will be priced at Rs 23999, if it launches at the same time.

The Advertisement also confirms that the phone will run a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset along with a 16MP + 8MP camera configuration. The OnePlus 3 will also support the dash charge protocol revealed earlier.

You can also expect the fingerprint scanner/sensor in the same location as the OnePlus 2 which seems much better than a rear sensor. The Ad touts quick fingerprint unlock times, 0.2 seconds.
