UPDATE: Company has further confirmed that the OnePlus 6 Will Launch on May 16 in London and on May 17 in China and Mumbai.

There have been several rumours about OnePlus 6‘s launch date, with the most recent one claiming it to be on May 21. It turns out, this date wasn’t far off, as the Chinese company has just confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will meet us officially on May 17 in China. This finally puts a rest to the conflicting release dates suggested by different rumours in the past couple of weeks.

Now that the launch date is confirmed, we can finally focus on the other aspects of the device. The OnePlus 6 is confirmed to feature a glass body with round corners, different from the all metal design adorned by the previous flagships. This should also pave way for Wireless Charging support, a first for a OnePlus flagship device. The glass body has been reportedly selected among 70 different prototypes and the final product will feature 5 layers of nanotech coating to give a better feel of depth on the rear glass as compared to competitors.

Coming to the specs, the OnePlus 6 is almost confirmed to feature a notch up front on its 6-inch AMOLED display. Other rumored specs of the device include Snapdragon 845, 3450mAh battery, 8GB RAM, 128GB / 256GB ROM options, and a 16+20MP rear dual cameras.

The OnePlus 6 release date in India was said to be May 18 according to a recent report from Money Control. With the official launch in China set for May 17, this date doesn’t seem to be far off. However, it is worth adding that OnePlus had officially reached out to us stating that this release date was false. So, we’ll have to wait for an official confirmation from the company for the India launch date of the OnePlus 6.

Note that the OnePlus 6’s China launch conference tickets will go on sale from April 27 at 10AM.

OnePlus is gearing up to launch its new flagship smartphone — OnePlus 6. While the company has confirmed various features and specifications of the phone, it has not yet revealed the official launch yet.

While the OnePlus 6 has been rumored to get launched by the end of next week or early next month, latest report indicates that the upcoming “flagship killer” from OnePlus will get launched on 21st May.

Apparently, the company has sent an email to those who have been selected to trial the upcoming smartphone from the company ahead of its official launch as a part of its OnePlus 6 Lab Community Review Programme.

In the email, the company has listed out all the terms and conditions of the programme as well as 21st Mat as the launch date of the OnePlus 6 smartphone. If the launch date of 21st May turns out to be true, this will be the first smartphone from the company to get released this early.

The company has already confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will come with a 6.28-inch AMOLED display with Full-HD+ resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. The company has also confirmed that the smartphone will come with a notch and there’ll be an option to disable it.

It will be powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor coupled with 8GB RAM along with an internal storage of 256GB. Other than the 8GB RAM variant, the phone is also expected to arrive in two other options — 6GB RAM with 64GB storage and 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The rear side of the phone is expected to feature 20-megapixel + 16-megapixel dual camera setup. It is also expected to pack 20-megapixel front-facing snapper.

The device will come loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box with the company’s own OxygenOS on top. Under the hood, it is speculated to be powered by a 3,450mAh battery which will also carry support for Dash Charge V2 that may let its users use it for the entire day just by charging it for 20 minutes.
