The OnePlus 6 is an Android smartphone made by OnePlus. It was unveiled on 2 May 2018 and went on sale on 21-22 May 2018.[3]

History

In March 2018, it was announced that the phone would have a "notch",[4] but that there would be an option to hide it.[5] On 2 April 2018, it was confirmed that the premium edition of the OnePlus 6 would feature the Snapdragon 845 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage.[2][6]

OnePlus opened forums for the OnePlus 6 in April 2018.[7]

One week after the Oneplus 6 went on sale, OnePlus acknowledged a software bug that caused the device to drop all audio when a phone call was switched to speakerphone. This was later resolved in a 5.1.6 software update.[8]

In November 2021, OnePlus stopped supplying software updates to the operating system.[9]

Specifications

Hardware

  • With an all-glass build different from its predecessors, the phone contains 6 or 8 GB of RAM, the Snapdragon 845 and a choice of 64, 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.[10][11] It features a slightly larger (when compared to the OnePlus 5T) AMOLED 2280 x 1080 display with a cutout at the top for the front camera, sensors, earpiece, and notification LED. The OnePlus 6 uses 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 as a cover glass and supports Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC.[10]
  • The OnePlus 6 has two rear facing cameras. The primary one uses the Sony IMX 519 sensor with OIS while the secondary camera uses the Sony IMX 376K sensor for a bokeh effect in portrait mode.[10]
  • The phone has been specified to be dust, splash, and water resistant; however, it has not been certified with an IP Code and OnePlus suggests against submerging the device.[12][13] Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
  • The phone has an Alert slider on the right side with 3 notification profiles: Silent, Vibrate and Ring.
  • The phone has four colour variants: Mirror Black, Midnight Black, Silk White, and Amber Red.

Software

The OnePlus 6 launched with Android 8.1 installed and uses the OxygenOS interface.[14] The option to take part in the Android Pie beta was available from launch.[15] The first stable version of OxygenOS 9.0 based on Android Pie was released on September 21, 2018.[16] Currently the OnePlus 6 is on Android 11 but can be upgraded to Android 13 via LineageOS.[17]

Network compatibility

The OnePlus 6 includes 2 variants for cellular networks worldwide.[10][18]
