History
In March 2018, it was announced that the phone would have a "notch",[4] but that there would be an option to hide it.[5] On 2 April 2018, it was confirmed that the premium edition of the OnePlus 6 would feature the Snapdragon 845 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage.[2][6]
OnePlus opened forums for the OnePlus 6 in April 2018.[7]
One week after the Oneplus 6 went on sale, OnePlus acknowledged a software bug that caused the device to drop all audio when a phone call was switched to speakerphone. This was later resolved in a 5.1.6 software update.[8]
In November 2021, OnePlus stopped supplying software updates to the operating system.[9]
Specifications
Hardware
- With an all-glass build different from its predecessors, the phone contains 6 or 8 GB of RAM, the Snapdragon 845 and a choice of 64, 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.[10][11] It features a slightly larger (when compared to the OnePlus 5T) AMOLED 2280 x 1080 display with a cutout at the top for the front camera, sensors, earpiece, and notification LED. The OnePlus 6 uses 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 as a cover glass and supports Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC.[10]
- The OnePlus 6 has two rear facing cameras. The primary one uses the Sony IMX 519 sensor with OIS while the secondary camera uses the Sony IMX 376K sensor for a bokeh effect in portrait mode.[10]
- The phone has been specified to be dust, splash, and water resistant; however, it has not been certified with an IP Code and OnePlus suggests against submerging the device.[12][13] Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
- The phone has an Alert slider on the right side with 3 notification profiles: Silent, Vibrate and Ring.
- The phone has four colour variants: Mirror Black, Midnight Black, Silk White, and Amber Red.
