Everything we know about the Oneplus 6 so far

... if you don't know about it already...

As always, we are all waiting for a new Oneplus device and this year, the mobile crowd is eagerly awaiting the Oneplus 6. Earlier Oneplus mobile devices launches were preluded by a lot of leaks and unofficial information floating around the Internet. But with Oneplus 6, we now have been fed with confirmed details by the company by itself. So here are the things we know for sure and that has been confirmed by Oneplus.

Confirmed by Oneplus

  • Oneplus 6 will have a notch. Like it or not, Notch is the trend this year and Oneplus 6 will sport it. After making this announcement on its forum, Oneplus had to face a lot of backlash from the community. They were accused of not listening to the fans and just going by Apple-set trends.
  • Oneplus quickly responded to this allegation and clarified that the Oneplus 6 will have a software option to hide the notch. But when a large portion of the crowd does not like the “notch”, why have it in the first place? Frankly, I don’t see a future for the notch culture and it is a fad.
  • It is no secret that the Oneplus 6 will run on Snapdragon 845.
  • Apart from the 6 GB variant, this year we will see Oneplus 6 with an 8 GB variant just like the Oneplus 5T, but the 6 will have a whopping 256 GB internal storage variant.

Unconfirmed Teasers by Oneplus

  • Just like the iPhone Gestures, the Oneplus 6 may have gesture control for multitasking and navigation. But this is not new to Android and we have seen many mobiles in the past with such controls.
  • Oneplus 6 may continue to sport optic AMOLED screens and the speculated 6.3 inch display may still be on a FHD+ resolution.
  • Oneplus 6 will have the fingerprint sensor at the back and not under the display!

Speculations based on Leaks

  • Oneplus 6 may have a glass body back and this may mean that we may get wireless charging on the Oneplus 6.
  • This could be the most expensive Oneplus mobile ever. As always, the price of Oneplus devices has been steadily increasing. But this year, we may see a steep jump in the pricing. The base variant could be priced above 45k in India.
  • We may get a dual rear camera with 20+16 MP sensors and a 20 MP front camera.
  • The battery capacity may be about 3450 mAh
  • Well, I have used the word “may” multiple times in this article and let me use it for one last time. Oneplus 6 may be launched by end of May, worldwide.

Oneplus is a company that has always surprised us. They have changed the landscape of flagship devices forever, for good. So take the details mentioned in this article with a grain of salt and Oneplus 6 may totally be a different mobile from what we anticipate.
