Following months of rumours the latest OnePlus smartphone gets an official reveal-- the OnePlus 6, a handset with a 6.3-inch OLED display featuring, as many current flagship phones do, a notch at the top.

The OnePlus 6 shares other similarities with top-of-the-line smartphones apart from the notch. It also has an "all-glass" design with minimal bezels around the display, a OnePlus first. The display offers 2280 x 1080 resolution, while specs include a Snapdragon 845 processor, Adreno 630 graphics, up to 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage. Power comes through a 3300mAh battery with Dash Charge fast charging.

Connectivity includes a USB-C port, headphone jack, Bluetooth 5 and support for x2 nano-SIM cards. Inside the aforementioned notch is a 16MP camera with f/2.0 aperture, while the rear-facing dual-camera array has a primary 16MP sensor and optical image stabilisation, while the secondary camera has a 20MP sensor. Both cameras have an f/1.7 aperture, and can record 4K video at up to 60fps, as well as super slow-mo 240 and 480fps video at 720p.

A sketch shared by Lenovo VP Chang Chen on Chinese Twitter-equivalent Weibo hints what the next smartphone flagship from the company looks like-- a true all-screen device lacking in bezels and camera notch.

Lenovo is still to confirm the actual details behind the device, but the sketch does follow the release of a partial image of a similar, all-screen device. The post by Chen claims the device has a screen-to-body ratio of 95%, the highest in the industry so far, and features no less than four, as yet unspecified, technological breakthroughs together with "18 patented technologies."
