The speed you need is coming in the color you want. Or probably want, if you’re a fan of not so dark hues. While OnePlus has been selling flagships in more somber tones of black and grey, some people want theirs in glaring red or pristine white. This week, OnePlus will be granting the wishes of the latter group by finally launching the OnePlus 6 Silk White, a blast from the past built with the technology of the present.
Not all smartphone face unlock features are created equal. Android has long had such a basic feature and so did Windows 10. Apple's Face ID, however, introduced a new level of sophistication, not to mention marketing, that may have made consumers presume that every device advertising "face ID" features would offer the same security and accuracy. As the recent OnePlus 6 face unlock spoofing incident demonstrates, however, that's definitely not the case. And, to be fair, that was never the case for OnePlus in the first place.
The newly launched OnePlus 6 has already been torn down once, and that didn't exactly end on a high note. That said, iFixit's process was more interested in checking out how easy, or hard, it is to repair the smartphone outside of official channels. JerryRigEverything's Zach Nelson, on the other hand, had a specific question in mind when he took his OnePlus 6 apart: just how water-resistant is the OnePlus 6. The answer might just surprise you.
Just when you thought OnePlus has finally survived a launch without any issue, along comes what could be a problem. A minor one perhaps, but still a problem. Early birds who just gotten their hands on the new OnePlus 6 are now reporting that one feature has silently been removed after the first update. That feature is the Always On Display or AOD, which made its first appearance on a OnePlus phone this year. Well, now it's gone and OnePlus might not be too keen on bringing it back.
iFixit has wasted little time in tearing down yet another flagship phone: the OnePlus 6. US orders for the OnePlus 6 opened only yesterday, and a mere 24 hours later, iFixit is getting its hands dirty and telling us just how easy it is to repair the phone as a DIY project. As with most phones iFixit takes a look at these days, its findings are both good and bad.
The OnePlus 6 isn't even out yet but it's already getting its first update. It is, however, not one you'll want to skip. The update, marked as Oxygen OS version 5.1.3, has a few improvements across the board, but the one that will catch users eyes the most is the ability to hide or show the notch as desired, a promised feature that will, at least, be there from day one after all.
The OnePlus 6 features a pair of cameras at its back that roll with top-notch Sony Exmor IMX image sensors. Because of the way the OnePlus 6 processes photos here in 2018, we're getting results very similar to those of the Galaxy S9 and the Google Pixel/Pixel 2. The following is a very basic look at our first results with backside camera photo and video capture on the OnePlus 6.
A big day has arrived for you OnePlus fans out there. OnePlus 6 orders have opened up in the United States, less than one week after the phone was officially unveiled. There are a variety of different models to choose from, and they start at $529 - a far cry from some of the other flagship phones we've seen in 2018 so far.
The following is a OnePlus 6 Review Companion - this is the article you read after you've seen some opinions on the phone. This is a rundown of 10 items of interest for the OnePlus 6 buyer - just before buy, once you've bought, and once you've got the device in-hand. This device appears first online in less than 24 hours after this article is first set to go live on SlashGear.
OnePlus has finally launched the OnePlus 6, including an Avengers edition, but there were really no surprises left by the time it did. Well, except the price, though, as expected, it was higher than last year's model, though not by much and definitely a lot lower than equivalent flagships. Some, however, might have some bias against more affordable (read: cheaper) products when it comes to build quality and durability. Fortunately for OnePlus, JerryRigEverything put the OnePlus 6 to its usual battery or torture tests to give would-be buyers some peace of mind.
The creator of the OnePlus 6's various eye-exploding wallpapers spoke up today on his process. These wallpapers are available for download - outside the phone, too. We've got them, and we've got some words from the artist just in case you'd like to know how these bonkers works of art were made - and yes, it's the same guy who did the wallpapers last year.
The most radical version of the OnePlus 6 was revealed this morning in semi-secret. That's the Avengers Edition, a version of the phone not coming to the United States - hence the semi-secrecy. Why spend time on launch PR in a country where you're not going to be able to sell the device? Those USA-based OnePlus/Avengers fans out there in the audience might want to take a closer peek - this phone is pretty neat.
