Everything we know about the OnePlus 6, one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2018
It'll handle anything you can possibly throw at it, thanks to plenty of RAM.
On the hardware side, expect some new features — including an iPhone X-style notch.
OnePlus provided The Verge with a teaser photo of the OnePlus 6 that confirms the device will have a notch on the display.
The notch will be bigger than the Essential Phone's notch and smaller than the iPhone X's, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei told The Verge.
Expect plenty of storage.
The OnePlus 6 will have up to 256GB of storage for your apps, photos, and videos. That's twice the amount of storage that came with the higher-end OnePlus 5T, which came with 128GB of storage.
There's no mention of how much storage the base model will include. The base OnePlus 5T had 64GB, so the base OnePlus 6 could come with twice the storage, too, at 128GB. But that's still speculation at this point.
And now for rumor territory: It could have a glass back.
Most OnePlus devices have had metal backs. There was one OnePlus phone, called the OnePlus X, that came with a glass and ceramic back, but it was a one-off device that wasn't entirely successful.
A recent photo leak from Chinese site IThome suggests the OnePlus 6 could come with a glass back, which lines up with the current trend of glass-backed smartphones. Having a glass back could allow wireless charging on the OnePlus 6, which isn't possible on devices with metal backs.
With all this said, IThome doesn't have much of a reputation when it comes to leaks, so take this rumor with a grain of salt.
What about price?
Pricing rumors are still wildly unconvincing at the moment, but we hope OnePlus' upcoming device isn't more expensive than its predecessor. A value-driven price tag is one of OnePlus' biggest differentiating features.
Little else is known or rumored about the OnePlus 6.
As for other specs, we'd expect the OnePlus 6 to come with a dual-lens camera system like the OnePlus 5T did. A supposedly leaked OnePlus 6 spec sheet posted by tech blog Techslize – a site with no track record for rumor accuracy – suggests the dual-lens cameras will be 20 megapixels and 16 megapixels, and the selfie camera will be 20 megapixels.
Also according to that leak, the OnePlus 6's battery will be a decently large 3,450 mAh, and the screen will be 6.28 inches and will have a 1080p resolution.
Again, this leak is somewhat suspect, as Techslize hasn't yet proven itself in the rumor-mongering department.
