Ahead of the launch, OnePlus has shared a new teaser for the OnePlus 6, wherein the device’s camera is competing with some of the best smartphone camera offerings at the moment, such as the Apple iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9 and Google Pixel 2.
OnePlus posted images on Twitter and said, “The #OnePlus6 Dual Camera takes on the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9, and Google Pixel 2. Can you match the shot to the phone?” The teaser is a part of the company’s ‘Blind Test’ contest which offers users a chance to win the upcoming flagship.
Fan tickets for the much-awaited India launch of the OnePlus 6 were claimed within a span of four minutes. Over 1,500 tickets were sold out in record time for the Mumbai launch event at NSCI at Dome which will take place at 3:00 pm on May 17. A week ahead of the launch, more than a million people have already expressed interest in the OnePlus 6 by registering on ‘Notify Me’ on Amazon.in, making it the fastest OnePlus smartphone to surpass the one million mark.
Based on previous leaks, the smartphone is said to feature a notch, along with a bezel-less screen and includes a DxOMark logo at the top and an OnePlus brand logo towards the top right corner. Below the image we see the message, "See you soon."
In the past, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau also officially confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus 6 will sport a notch at the top of the display, similar to the iPhone X. In a forum post, Lau also shared extensive details regarding the same. The notch on the upcoming smartphone would house the camera, along with the ear-piece, an ambient light sensor and an LED notification light. He says, “We wanted to offer the biggest display possible without compromising on hardware, which is why we opted for the notch design.”
Lau explains how having a central placement for the front-facing camera is a good option. “Moving the module elsewhere would also affect the angle of the camera, making it harder to orient the camera and take photos quickly. Such a move would also compromise the speed and reliability of our industry-leading Face Unlock feature. We also considered using a smaller module, but decided not to as this would have lowered the quality of your photos,” he adds.
Recently, a report pointed out that the 64GB variant will be priced at 3299 Yuan (approximately Rs 34,000) while the 128GB variant will be priced at 3799 Yuan (approximately Rs 39,200) and the 256GB variant will be priced at 4399 Yuan (approximately Rs 45,400). Based on images shared, the OnePlus 6 may feature a vertically-arranged dual camera set up. We can also expect the flash and the fingerprint sensor placed below the camera setup.
