The image only reveals the top half of the device in midnight black colour with a dual camera setup on the back. The smartphone, however, retains traditional large bezels, not following the recent trend in high-end Android phones that have even smaller borders around their display.
"OnePlus 5 powered by 2.35GHz octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor and 8GB of RAM will release on 22 June 2017 as an exclusive at Amazon.in."
