Alleged OnePlus 7 Live Image leaked ahead of the launch

Although the OnePlus 7 isn’t projected to unveil before May this year, leaks and assumptions around the impending flagship are now in progress to churn. A fresh image of OnePlus 7 has appeared online, courtesy of Italian blog Tutto Android, allegedly presenting us what may be our initial look at the device. The live image demonstrates a smartphone with almost an all screen design, with no hint of a notch and top and bottom bezels. This means next-generation OnePlus flagship might be impending along with a pop-up selfie camera. Furthermore, one can clearly see Oxygen OS’s homescreen, affirming that its a OnePlus smartphone.

However, there is a chunky space left below the dock. The handset has uneven bezels around the screen. Also, the power button and volume rockers are weirdly placed to the bottom left. All of this hint towards the possibility of this being an altered image. Evidently, it seems to be the Oppo Find X with an upside down homescreen screenshot from OnePlus’s Oxygen OS. One can justify the upside down homescreen as if the autorotation was on. Anyways, take this image with a pinch of salt unless anything comes officially.

We have previously perceived this methodology on the Vivo Nex and Oppo Find X. Fascinatingly, Vivo, Oppo and OnePlus are retained by the BBK electronics group. So technically, OnePlus might offer a pop-up selfie camera in its impending devices. It’s worth remarking that the live image appears to uphold the preceding buzzes regarding the time off of a front-facing camera on the OnePlus 7.

Lately, an image circulated by SlashLeaks demonstrated two phones in a plastic casing. One of the phones has a bezel-less slider design while the other has a visible front-facing camera. It is whispered that one of the devices among them is OnePlus 7, proto-type to be precise.

In the past, tipster Ishan Agarwal posted an image of an in-house OnePlus conference conferring about the latest prototype phone. The picture illustrates the device wearing a circular camera shunt. It apparently looked like the camera arrangement used on the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Bear in mind that this forthcoming device might be a 5G-ready smartphone that the company tactics to take-off in early 2019. We by this time can already understand that OnePlus 7 will be publicised in the first half of 2019. Notably, the OnePlus 6 was declared in May 2018, so we are confident of the OnePlus 7 will make its official entrance during the same period as its predecessor. Stay tuned.
