After announcing the OnePlus 6 smartphone at a launch event in London, the China-based company has now launched the “flagship killer” OnePlus 6 in India today at a launch event in Mumbai.

In India, as we reported earlier, the smartphone will be available for purchase exclusively through online marketplace Amazon India. The pricing for the phone starts at Rs. 34,999 and goes up to Rs. 39,999. It will be available for purchase from 21st May.

The smartphone is joining the list of flagship devices that have adopted glass body. To ensure protection, the front, as well as back panel, comes with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 on top, ensuring that it can take a few hits without breaking down.

As of the specifications, the OnePlus 6 features a 6.28-inch AMOLED display with screen resolution of  2280 x 1080 pixels and 19:9 aspect ratio. The company has also adopted the notched display trend going on for the flagship devices. However, the notch can be disabled through software.

The phone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 chipset, which powers most of the flagship smartphones launched this year. Similar to its previous models, OnePlus is offering different memory configuration choice for the OnePlus 6 as well. The phone comes in 6GB and 8GB RAM along with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB internal storage option.

The phone supports 4K videos at 60 fps while the slo-mo videos can be shot at 480 fps @ 720p for up to a minute.

As for the software, the smartphone is running the company’s own OxygenOS, which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box. However, the OnePlus is already a part of Android P Beta program and thus, users can also try out the upcoming Android P.
