Digit has gained access to a render and specifications of a phone codenamed ‘Project Tesseract’. The smartphone will be made in India by a Bangalore based start-up. Project Tesseract aims to deliver a flagship class experience with Stock Android at an affordable price, something OnePlus has been doing for a while.

Talking about the specifications, Project Tesseract will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC coupled with 6GB RAM. It will be available in two storage options – 128GB and 256GB. Talking about the optics, it will have a dual 12MP camera setup at the back where one of the camera’s will have a f.15 aperture. The front will have a 16MP camera. 

The Bangalore based start-up claims that the device will run on Stock Android 8 out of the box and will get regular updates. It will also get two generations of Android updates which means that it will get the Android P and Q update. Under the hood, a 4000mAh battery will power the device. From the leaked render, it looks like the smartphone will be sleek, so it remains to be seen how such a large battery will be accommodated. 

When it comes to the display, Project Tesseract will have a 6-inch 2K 18:9 Super AMOLED display with HDR support. The company claims that it not going the Apple way and the phone will not have a notch.

Sounds like a Xiaomi thing to do. What do you think of Project Tesseract? Is this the OnePlus killer we’ve been waiting for?
