The OnePlus 4 is expected to feature killer specs that might end the dominance of the iPhone 7 and its Plus variant. As per the rumor mill, the design and external build will be revamped as the OnePlus 3's received criticisms over its dull impression.

Camera-wise it will sport a 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 sensor and added tweaks on its camera features.
