OnePlus, the Shenzhen based Chinese smartphone manufacturer, is rumored to release its latest flagship phone, OnePlus 6, sometime in the second quarter of the year. Moreover, the upcoming phone is said to have iPhone X's famous notch and glass back.

Express reported that alleged photos of the upcoming OnePlus phone emerged on a Chinese technology website named IT Home. The photos show OnePlus 6 featuring an almost bezel-free screen and an iPhone X-like notch (the protruding part of the iPhone X) at the top of the display. Express reported the notch will include a front-facing camera as well as a tiny speaker for taking calls unlike the iPhone X's which contain special face tracking sensors. The back of the upcoming phone appears to be made from glass which is ideal for wireless charging. Moreover, Express reported OnePlus 6 has 6 gigabytes (GB) of random-access memory (RAM), 64 GB of storage and is running on Android 8.1 Oreo.

As for its processor, Alphr reported that OnePlus 6 will be powered by the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The upcoming phone will also have the facial-recognition feature its predecessor, OnePlus 5T, had although the level of how secure this feature will be is yet to be revealed. Alphr also reported that OnePlus 6 will have dual lens camera like its predecessor. Carl Pei, one of the founders of OnePlus, once made a Twitter poll in 2016, asking Twitter users if they like headphone jacks — the majority (88%) of the Twitter users who participated in his poll answered "Yes." Because of this, according to Alphr, it is safe to assume that the upcoming OnePlus 6 will feature headphone jacks.

According to Gizmochina, a source revealed that OnePlus 6 will launch in the middle of March and will be available by the end of the same month. However, Express and Alphr both reported that the other founder of OnePlus and its current chief executive officer (CEO), Pete Lau, confirmed that the upcoming phone will launch on the second quarter of 2018 which is from April 1 to June 30.
