This Is What The OnePlus 6 May Look Like, Having A Glass Body & iPhone X-Like Notch On Top
03 March, 2018
Though the OnePlus 5 was upgraded in only about half a year with the OnePlus 5T, we’re already on the verge of getting another successor.
However, the company’s hit a bit of a snag.
Just a few weeks before the OnePlus 6 was to be officially launched, images have leaked showing a new edge-to-edge display and a very iPhone X-like notch at the top. The photos also reveal what looks like a vertically-aligned rear dual camera.
Chinese tech blog ITHome posted the photos on Tuesday, claiming they were of the new OnePlus flagship. At a glance, it seems OnePlus has gone for a glass back, broken only by the camera and fingerprint scanner on the rear. And seeing as the company has copied the iPhone X’s notch, it only stands to reason the OnePlus 6 will utilise its selfie camera for face unlock.
However, it’s important to note the notch itself seems too narrow to support infrared sensors like in the iPhone, so this face unlock will probably not be as accurate, though it’ll be as fast as the OnePlus 5T.
According to the report, the device will feature 6GB RAM, 64Gb built-in storage, and will ship with Android 8.1. Of course, none of this can really be confirmed so don’t take the news wholly at face value. What you can be sure of however is that, like many other flagships launching this year, it’ll have the Snapdragon 845 processor.
