Do note, there will be an early sale held for Amazon Prime members on 21 May.

From what we know so far, the OnePlus 6 is expected to feature a 19:9 display with an iPhone X-like notch on top. Under the hood, the smartphone has been confirmed to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which will be accompanied by 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of inbuilt storage. Rumours also suggest that the OnePlus 6 will sport a vertically-placed dual-camera setup on the rear, which will be a combination of a 20 MP + 16 MP sensor, and a 16 MP camera up front.

A rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm port, and wireless charging support have also been speculated. The OnePlus 6 could run OxygenOS on top of Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box.

For the uninitiated, OnePlus will also be launching an Avengers variant of the OnePlus, as part of its partnership with Marvel.

Special edition variants are sort of a trademark for OnePlus now. In 2016, OnePlus released the special Colette edition of the OnePlus 3T, which was basically a matte black colouring with the Colette logo on the back. Next was a Midnight Black limited run of the OnePlus 3T, which became extremely popular, so much so that the Midnight Black colour also made its way to the OnePlus 5 as one of the standard, non-limited versions.

The OnePlus 5 itself also received a special, rather extravagant Castelbajac edition, which was also sold through Colette. Then the OnePlus 5T had a limited Lava Red version for the Chinese market, and a special Star Wars edition, which was sold globally.
