The OnePlus 4 might be unveiled in June 2017; expect a Snapdragon 830 and 2K display

Various sources on Weibo suggest that the OnePlus 4 flagship smartphone will be launched in June or July next year. Little is known of the phone, but rumours hint at a Snapdragon 830 SoC clocked at 3GHz. This is expected to be paired with an Adreno 620 GPU, 8GB of RAM and 32/64/128GB storage options. Other rumours indicate that the battery is in the 4,000-4,200mAh range and that the front and rear camera units will be 8MP and 24MP units respectively. It’s not known whether OnePlus will embrace dual-cameras or not. The display is said to be a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2K (2560x1440). At launch, the phone is expected to run OxygenOS (based on Android 7.1, this time around) and it might support wireless charging and two SIMs. Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 830 chipset is said to be based on a 10nm manufacturing process, which should translates to a noticeable improvement in battery life and performance. This would also explain the rumoured 3GHz clock speed. The Adreno 620 is an updated version of the current Adreno 530 GPU and one can expect significant performance improvements. The upcoming OnePlus 3T is also a phone to keep an eye on in the meanwhile. A minor upgrade to the stellar OnePlus 3 , the 3T will come with a Snapdragon 821 SoC and an improved camera module.
