After DxO camera, another key feature of OnePlus 5 officially revealed ahead of launch

OnePlus, earlier in the month, confirmed that they collaborate with DxOMark Mobile to build camera for OnePlus 5 and now the company has announced another key feature evoking excitement among fans.

OnePlus has announced that the OnePlus 5 will come with Qualcomm's most powerful processor yet, Snapdragon 835 octa-core, which is said to be 27 percent faster and consumes 40 percent less energy than its predecessor Snapdragon 821. The former is based on 10nm class architecture, while the latter is 14nm.

The powerful Snapdragon 835 CPU has four 2.45GHz Kryo 280 cores and four 1.9GHz Kryo 280 cores, while the Snapdragon comes with two 2.35GHz Kryo cores and two 1.6GHz Kryo cores.

"OnePlus creates every smartphone as if it's creating a piece of art & not just making a mass-produced product. All of OnePlus smartphones have so far been powered by premium Snapdragon mobile platforms, ensuring that every generation of OnePlus handsets deliver a powerful performance," Sanjay Mehta, Senior Vice President, Qualcomm, said in a statement.

To further improve user-experience, OnPlus has promised that OnePlus 5 users will not face any touch latency issue like its OnePlus 3. It has carried out an independent research on different brands and based on the study, OnePlus engineers have apparently found the solution for this nagging glitch.

The company has also confirmed to have made major changes in the Android-based OxygenOS for the OnePlus 5, so that the apps in the phone launch faster and those applications, that device owners rarely use, will be deprioritised and kept from affecting performance.
