This is what the new OnePlus smartphone will be called, plus everything we know about its specs
After Apple, OnePlus is probably the only smartphone maker that has a cult following around the globe. The Chinese smartphone brand has made a name for itself in not just the Asian markets, but also the western world. The company is all set to launch its latest flagship mobile across the sphere in some time, however in the latest teaser the name has already been revealed. The new top of the line device will be called OnePlus 6. The video captioned “6et ready” was spotted on the official Twitter channel of OnePlus.
Some of the phones specifications have also come to light on the web. OnePlus 6 will definitely have the notch, just like the one found on Apple iPhone X. OnePlus 6 will also feature a Qualcomm 845 SoC, Android 8.1 operating system and 128 GB (confirmed) storage. We are still unclear on the amount of RAM OnePlus 6 will get. The smartphone is also listed to get dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac. The screen will support FHD graphics and users should be able to play graphic intensive games with ease on this smartphone. Rumours are rife that the price of the OnePlus 6 might be kept around the Rs 40K mark. This could very well be the most expensive OnePlus smartphone launched in the country till date.

It was launched at the Mobile World Congress 2016 and did manage to hog the limelight on the global stage. And currently, it is getting good reviews even in India. We too liked its specs and the looks, but can’t comment on its performance unless we get a chance to put the device on our test bed.

The mobile phone is sleek at just 7.7mm thickness and 160g weight. The OPPO Mirror 5 has a bright 5-inch IPS LCD display, which is quite impressive and comes with bright vibrant colours. Overall, the design is pretty competitive.
The battery is non-removable, so the users cannot replace it by themselves. The OPPO Mirror 5 has dual-SIM slots (one is for Micro and second one is for Nano) and there is another slot for expandable storage that is also placed under the removable back panel. The power button is located on the right side of the phone and the volume keys are located on the left side of the device.

The OPPO Mirror 5 smartphone’s image and video quality is above average. The speaker also offers proper stereo sound while playing music that makes the listening session more entertaining.
