While rumours have already indicated that the successor to the OnePlus 3T will be called the OnePlus 5, a new report has all but confirmed it as a fact. A OnePlus smartphone with the model number A5000 has just been spotted on China's Radio Regulation Authority's database.
The OnePlus 3 had the model number A3000 and the OnePlus 3T had the model number A3010. Thus, going by the company's naming standards, a model number of A5000 clearly points towards the name OnePlus 5. The name OnePlus 4 is being skipped due to the fact that the number 4 in Chinese is considered bad luck as it sounds like the Mandarin Chinese word for death.
Name aside, the OnePlus 5 is said to be quite a comprehensive update over its predecessor. Previous rumours point towards the device coming with a mammoth 8GB of RAM, the Snapdragon 835 SoC, the Adreno 540 GPU, upto 256GB of internal storage and a 3,000mAh battery.
