OnePlus has been teasing its first 5G smartphone for quite some time. It also recently announced an appearance at MWC 2019 later this month. And today the brand has confirmed that the two are directly related.
Speaking about its upcoming MWC event, the Chinese company stated that it was inviting everyone to “communicate” over a 5G network at its stand within Qualcomm’s booth at Mobile World Congress. Additionally, the popular brand revealed that attendees will be able to “experience the capabilities of 5G gaming” through one of its latest “OnePlus 5G Prototypes.” This should give us an idea of the level of performance that can be expected from the final product.
At the moment, the exact specifications of the premium smartphone remain unclear. However, OnePlus’ close partnership with Qualcomm means the Snapdragon 855 will be included on the inside along with the Snapdragon X50 modem which will grant 5G capabilities.
The OnePlus-branded 5G flagship is expected to make its debut sometime in May alongside the OnePlus 7
