The notched screen a la iPhone X is the latest trend
(don't call it a fad) in the Android world, one which has been picking up steam
disturbingly fast. And according to a new leak, the upcoming OnePlus 6 will go
with the flow and come with a notch of its own.
This development was first revealed in a leaked live
image from last month, which also tells us that it will be incredibly hard to
tell the OnePlus 6 and the Oppo R15 apart. The shared design isn't surprising,
given past antics and the fact that both Oppo and OnePlus are owned by BBK
Electronics.
Anyway, the OnePlus 6 is to have a 19:9 aspect ratio
display, taller than the 18:9 panel of its predecessor, the 5T. That said,
what's left when you exclude the space to the left and right of the notch may
actually have 18:9 aspect ratio.
A prototype OnePlus 6 (with the model number A6000)
managed to score 276,510 in the AnTuTu benchmark, as evidenced by the
screenshots below, besting the also not announced yet Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s, the
previous champion.
The OnePlus 6 will arrive in June with the
Snapdragon 845 at the helm, that much has already been confirmed by the
company's CEO. According to previous rumors, it shall have a glass back and
dual rear camera too, basically adhering to all the prevailing trends in the
mobile space at the moment.
