Almost everything regarding the specifications of the OnePlus 6 is already known. The phone was also spotted on TENAA previously, where it was revealed featuring a 6.28-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with a 1080x2280p resolution. As we already know, the device will be running on the latest Snapdragon 845 SoC and come with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The listing shows a 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage variant of the handset.
It is seen running on Android 8.1 Oreo and is powered by a 3300mAh battery, which is same as the OnePlus 5T. In the camera department, the OnePlus 6 could feature a dual 12MP + 16MP sensors on the rear and on the front, come with a 16MP camera. We already know that the device will sport a notch on top of the display, which can also be hidden using a compatibility mode.
OnePlus has also announced a OnePlus 6 x Marvel Avengers Limited Edition smartphone, which will be launched alongside the regular OnePlus 6. This was announced soon after the company’s collaboration with Marvel Studios and the Limited Edition smartphone is said to feature a “unique” textured rear panel. An image of the device’s retail box has also been leaked by Slashleaks, giving an idea of what new design changes it could sport. The box is dark grey in colour and features a glossy Avengers logo in the center, the etching on which looks like a kevlar pattern. It’s speculated that the Limited Edition OnePlus 6 could feature a kevlar finish on the rear panel.
Some new hands-on images of the OnePlus 6 also recently leaked online, displaying the front of the device with an 18:9 display and the notch. In another image that captures the bottom edge of the device, it is seen featuring the speaker grill, headphones jack, and the USB Type-C port. The alert slider can also be seen above the volume rocker on the smartphone, which is in contrast to the previous rumours of the change in the slider’s position. The company itself has teased that it could be splash or waterproof and could come with gesture-based controls as well.
Pete Lau, OnePlus Founder and CEO has also posted the first official camera samples captured from the smartphone. He showcased the bokeh performance and daylight shots from the smartphone’s camera, but the meta-data from the images was removed so that no details of the device’s camera setup can be known. Lau also later revealed in a blog post that the standard variant of the device will feature a glass rear panel with five printed layers of Nanotech Coating. It’s not clear if the smartphone will support wireless charging.
