OnePlus 6 Launched In India: Price, Specifications And Features

The day has finally come as the OnePlus 6 has been launched in India after a spree of leaks and teasers. For the unknown, the OnePlus 6 was first unveiled in London on May 16 and on the very next day i.e May 17 it was launched in India with a rather impressive price tag and even better features to justify it. To start with, the OnePlus 6 comes with a host of ‘firsts’ for the Chinese smartphone maker and some inspiration from its predecessors.

The OnePlus 6 comes with a 6.28-inch Optic AMOLED display, which is the biggest ever screen panel seen on any OnePlus smartphone, however, the overall size of the OnePlus 6 hasn’t changed as the company has tried to use as much of the free space at the front, as they could. On the other hand, the device also comes with a notch at the top of the display which helps OnePlus 6 achieve a 19:9 aspect ratio while the gesture support is also present to increase the real estate on the display.

That being said, one of the biggest highlights of the OnePlus 6 is the all-glass back which is protected by a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass and offers a premium feel to the device. Talking about the first, the smartphone in question also comes with a water-resistant built which saves the device from daily splashes.

There is also a 256GB inbuilt storage variant of the OnePlus 6, which is the highest ever storage capacity seen in a OnePlus smartphone as its predecessors topped at 128GB of storage. While the battery capacity has remained the same at 3300mAh, the dash charge support now charges the OnePlus 6 for a full day of usage within half an hour.

Coming to biometrics, the OnePlus 6 comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which unlocks the device in 0.2 seconds as well as a Face Unlock feature which unlocks the device within 0.4 seconds. That said, the company has still not introduced the wireless feature to its smartphone lineup.
