A day after Honor 10's extravagant launch in London, the capital of United Kingdom is set to see another mega-launch today with the OnePlus 6.

After weeks of official teasers and unofficial leaks, OnePlus is ready to unveil its latest Android phone, the OnePlus 6. The big moment takes place in London on May 16 at a 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET/5 p.m. BST start time.



The phone would be launched in India on May 17 and go on sale starting May 21, exclusively on Amazon India. There are no details regarding the price at the moment, but we expect that the phone will be priced Rs 35,000 onwards.

Here's how to livestream the London event:


A quick overview of the expected specs from the smartphone:

1. Notch Screen
This was confirmed by both the Co-founders of OnePlus, Carl Pei and Pete Lau. Carl Pei posted on twitter while Pete Lau posted a detailed blog post. The only thing we don't know for sure is if it will be an IPS paanel or an Amoled panel which the company has used on its previous devices.



2. Top-end Hardware
Also confirmed by the company, the OnePlus 6 will be powered by Qualcomm's top of the line Snapdragon 845 processor. The company posted a teaser image on Weibo which showed Snapdragon 845 processor as well as teased about 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

3. Dual Rear Camera
OnePlus offered dual cameras on both OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T. So, it's obvious that the OnePlus 6 will also have dual camera. From the multiple leaked images of the phone and cases of the phone, it is clear that the OnePlus 6 has dual cameras, but they are positioned differently.


4. New All Glass Design
Image leaks of the OnePlus 6 indicate that the phone will have a reflective glass rear, and this was confirmed by the Company also recently.

5. 'Avengers' Edition
OnePlus also confirmed that they will be launching a Marvel Avengers Limited Edition of the OnePlus 6 just like they did for Star Wars.
