Today at a launch event in London, OnePlus unveiled its latest “flagship killer”, the OnePlus 6, taking solid aim at high-end smartphones from the likes of Apple and Samsung.
The OnePlus 6 features a 6.28-inch screen with a 2,280 x 1,080 resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio, (up to) 256GB of storage, and dual 20 megapixel rear camera (sensibly centered now) and a 16 megapixel front-facing shooter. It also includes the top notch found on an increasing number of smartphones these days.
OnePlus’s devices have always managed to offer quality at an affordable price, while not quite matching or besting phones being offered by their premium rivals, and that’s true of the OnePlus 6.
The new phone looks and feels like a quality product though, thanks to the addition of Gorilla Glass 5 on the back, as well as the front. You might think this means the phone supports wireless charging, but nope.
The two cameras offer improved optical image stabilization and better shooting in the low-light settings. The rear one can shoot 4K video at up to 60fps, and t he front camera offers a faux-bokeh portrait mode.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, backed with Adreno 630 graphics. The base version comes with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $529. You can boost this to 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage for $50 extra, and if you pay another $50 on top of that you can get the maximum 256GB of storage.
The phone of course runs OxygenOS, the firm’s skinned version of Android 8.1.
Other features worth mentioning include a 3,300mAh battery, Bluetooth 5,2 x nano-SIM card support, and Dash Charge fast charging.
The new phone also includes a headphone jack, which many buyers will be relieved about, even though the company also used the event to unveil their the fast charging OnePlus Bullets Wireless headphones.
Due out on May 22, the new handset is available in three colors — Mirror Black, Midnight Black, and Pearl White.
The full list of specs is as follows:
