Yet another week is behind us and OnePlus 5 was the device to dominate headlines over the past seven days. We saw a screenshot from the upcoming flagship from the Chinese company as well as suggested specs and pricing in an online listing. In more official news, the maker revealed why it will be skipping number 4 and calling it OnePlus 5.
Sony caused some excitement as its X Ultra handset leaked, while the XZ Premium got benchmarked.
A couple of Samsung mid-rangers also made an appearance - the Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2018) should be going official shortly.
In the more premium segment HTC is about to deliver its U 11 flagship with a unique pressure-sensitive frame that should allow for some interesting functionality. It will come without a headphones jack though.
