OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau said: “With the OnePlus 6, we challenged ourselves to deliver an external design as smooth and elegant as the work we’ve done inside the device.”
“We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we hope our users are too.”
Featuring a 6.28 inch AMOLED 19:9 display, it will be the largest screen a OnePlus smartphone has ever used and the first to utilise an all-glass design both front and back with Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, the OnePlus 6 also has 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The device also has the ability to switch between multiple apps running at the same time without lag.

Another key feature of the OnePlus 6 is the fast charge that OnePlus claim can last users an entire day off of just half an hour charge.
