OnePlus 5[1] – the OnePlus[2] next flagship – is set for its global launch[3] on Tuesday at 12pm ET (9:30pm IST), and will be available at a pop-up event in New York. The phone will have its India launch on Thursday, and it'll be available for purchase later that day on Amazon. You'll also be able to pick it up at similar pop-up events[4] in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru.
Thanks to the innumerable leaks and official reveals we've had the past few weeks, there isn't much left that we don't know about the OnePlus 5. Everything from the design, specifications, and pricing has been revealed multiple times, so the launch event will essentially serve as official confirmation of the facts. The rear camera setup on the OnePlus 5 has been confirmed[5]: there will be a 16-megapixel Sony sensor with f/1.7 aperture, and another 20-megapixel Sony telephoto lens with f/2.6 aperture. There's also a new press render[6] of the phone's front and back.
