As the scheduled launch date of the OnePlus 2 draws closer, more details regarding the company's next flagship device are starting to emerge.
Now, leaked images featuring the OnePlus 2 offers hints about the handset's display size, according to GSM Arena.
Recently, Weibo user KJuma posted a photo showing off the OnePlus One's successor. The image, which had a sketch-effect filter, showed the front side of the device.
According to various sources, the image suggests that the OnePlus 2 might sport either a 5.5-inch or 5.7-inch display. But since the OnePlus One already features a 5.5-inch display, the company might bump up the features of its next flagship device by going with the latter or larger screen size.
In addition, as noted by Techno Buffalo, even if the OnePlus 2 comes with a 5.7-inch display, the device might still have the same body size as its predecessor. The company will be able to achieve this by using an edge-to-edge design and making the bezels around the OnePlus 2's display narrower.
However, it is not yet clear if OnePlus will equip the OnePlus 2 with the same 1920x1080 pixel resolution of the One device.
As for its other specs, the Chinese smartphone maker previously confirmed that the upcoming device will feature a USB Type-C port. Also, it will be powered by an improved version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor. Through closely collaborating with Qualcomm and by utilizing various modifications, OnePlus claimed that this chipset will not cause overheating problems for the 2.
The OnePlus 2 will be officially unveiled on July 27 at 7 p.m. Pacific time. The launch will be conducted through virtual technology with the help of the company's own VR headsets dubbed as the OnePlus Cardboard.
"A VR launch lets you stand right next to our team and our fans as we unveil our new flagship," OnePlus said in a statement. "You'll be able to look around as you check out the phone in a new way and maybe even find a few hidden Easter eggs."
"It's a new way of thinking about a product launch," the company added. "We aren't talking at you; we are talking with you."
