By the end of 2018, we had reports surfacing on Oneplus 5G smartphone design leaks and other details. We had an image of OnePlus CEO Pete Lau giving a presentation on an upcoming device. A Oneplus prototype is seen sporting a circular ring for the camera sensors. We even got the hints of two color variants, viz. Red and Silver/White.
Since then, there have been rumors on the oncoming phone to come with a slider mechanism just like in the Find X or Mi Mix 3. Speculations were on a magnetic slider to house its various cameras, sensors, and antenna. So, maybe no Notch, aye mate?
