The image, spotted by Android Authority, gives us our first proper look at the long-rumoured white model, which appears to feature a gold trim and a glass and aluminium build. The picture also confirms that the OnePlus 6 will be made available in a glossy black variant.4/5/18: Yet more images of the OnePlus 6 have surfaced online showing off what looks like a glass design, adding more weight to the rumours that the handset could support wireless charging. The hands-on pictures, via ITHome, don't reveal much else we don't already know - there's a display notch, dual cameras on the rear and a redesigned fingerprint sensor underneath.

There's no word as to how much the rumoured 256GB OnePlus 6 handset will cost.

30/4/18: The OnePlus 6 has been teased on video, thanks to a bunch of fans who got their hands on the device ahead of its release. The clip (below), posted to the official OnePlus YouTube channel, doesn't give too much away as the handset has been blurred out and the mention of certain features censored. However, the footage does suggest that the OnePlus 6 will be available in white, while another shot of the device confirms that it will retain - as expected - the 3.5mm headphone jack.

27/4/18: A live image of the OnePlus 6 (below) has surfaced online, courtesy of iGyuaan, ahead of its imminent 16 March unveiling, showing off the handset's almost bezel-less FullView display complete with an iPhone-style notch. Given that OnePlus has confirmed pretty much all there is to know about the incoming flagship, the image doesn't give much else away, but you can also expect a glass design with wireless charging support, Snapdragon 845 internals and a Galaxy S9-rivalling dual camera setup.26/4/18: The OnePlus 6 will support Galaxy S9-esque super slo-mo video recording, a teaser image posted - and promptly deleted - by OnePlus India has confirmed.

In a post on the OnePlus forum, Lau says that the handset's glass design will offer up a "sense of value" and "premium hand-feel", and reveals that the glass black contains five printed layers of Nanotech Coating, a first in the smartphone industry.

"The additional layers give the back of the device a stronger impression of depth that our most demanding users will surely appreciate," he remarked.Sketches shared by Lau (above) also suggest that the OnePlus 6 will be curvier than previous OnePlus devices, and hints that the flagship will also see more vibrant colour options. Although unconfirmed, the glass back is likely also a sign that the OnePlus 6 will be the first to support wireless charging.

23/4/18: OnePlus has pushed out yet another teaser ahead of the unveiling of the OnePlus 6, this time promising "expert craftsmanship" and "new materials". All signs point to a ceramic back that will offer wireless charging, similar to the Essential Phone, and the tweeted image (below) reveals that the rear of the phone will come with a "Designed by OnePlus" engraving.The shadowy image doesn't give much away, but suggests that the OnePlus 6 likely will be slimmer than its 5T predecessor, while retaining the same dual-lens rear camera setup. We can also see that the alert slider appears to have swapped sides with the SIM tray, and that antenna lines will run along the top and bottom and the device.

11/4/18: A leaked render of the OnePlus 6 (below) has hinted that the upcoming flagship could boast a triple-digit DxOMark rating. Currently, the triple lens-equipped Huawei P20 Pro is DxOMark's highest-ranking device with a rating of 109, and it looks like the OnePlus 6 - with its rumoured dual camera setup and adjustable focus - could give the device a run for its money.The render, which comes courtesy of Chinese social network Weibo, also gives us a good look at the OnePlus 6's largely bezel-less front and hints at an imminent launch with its "see you soon" tagline.

10/4/18: We might finally have a launch date for the OnePlus 6, courtesy of GizChina. It's managed obtained a poster from Chinese retailer JingDong Mall, which claims that despite earlier rumours of a June unveiling, the OnePlus 6 will make its debut in Shenzhen on 5 May at 2pm. OnePlus has yet to confirm the leak, so we'd take this with a pinch of salt for now.

9/4/18: New images of the OnePlus 6 have shown up on Weibo, via CNMO, confirming that along with the usual black and white colour variants, the upcoming flagship will be made available in a new blue variant (below). The freshly-leaked images also 'confirm' that the OnePlus 6 will sport an edge-to-edge display complete with iPhone X-style notch and a red-coloured Alert Slider similar to that seen on Google's Pixel smartphones and a dual camera setup on its rear accompanied by a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. 6/4/18: It's unlikely OnePlus will have many surprises in store at its upcoming OnePlus 6 launch, as the company has confirmed (below) that the handset's 'alert slider' will allow users to adjust the camera focus, as well as to alter the handset's volume settings. Seperately, OnePlus also revealed that its upcoming flagship will sport iPhone X-esque gesture controls. While no further details were confirmed, these likely will mimic the controls recently introduced on the OnePlus 5T which allow users to can swipe to go back in the interface, go home or to switch between recent apps
5/4/18: Following a backlash from its customers after reports all-but-confirmed that the OnePlus 6 would feature an iPhone X-style notch, OnePlus has confirmed that it'll let users of its upcoming flagship hide the opinion-dividing display cutout.

OnePlus CEO - just a day after confirming the handset's key specs - said in a post on the company's forum: "We respect your feedback, and would like to give everyone the ability to choose. This function will enable you to black out the background of the notifications and status bar.

You won't be able to hide the notch straight away though, with Lauri noting that the functionality will be added in future software update "released after the launch of the OnePlus 6".

4/4/18: In a post on the company's official forums, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed some of the key specs of the upcoming OnePlus 6. He's already revealed that the handset will pack a Snapdragon 845 processor, and this week confirmed that this will come paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The latter spec is the most interesting, as it will be the first time the firm has included this much internal storage in one of its handsets, with previous models topping out at 128GB.

"Choosing the best hardware is the easy part, the real challenge is in making the best hardware perform in ways that adds value to the experience of the user," Lau said.

3/4/18: OnePlus has put out its first official teaser for the OnePlus 6, hinting that a launch could soon be on the cards. First spotted by Chinese website CNMO, the listing claims that the OnePlus 6 will feature a 6.2in display, despite earlier rumours of a 6in display, that will come powered by a Snapdragon 845 SoC that teamed with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. This is likely the highest-spec variant of the device, with the handset also set to launch in 64GB and 128GB configurations.

The Weibo leak claims that the OnePlus 6 will pack dual 12MP and 20MP sensors, along with Dash Fast charging technology.

While no further specs have been outed in this latest leak, it claims that the OnePlus 6 will fetch $749 (around £530) when it goes on sale later this year.

28/2/18: The OnePlus 6 will join growing number of Android devices copying the iPhone X's notch.

Images of an alleged OnePlus 6 handset, obtained by ITHome, show that the handset will feature a small notch at the top of its otherwise bezel-free screen. This iPhone X-esque cut out will house the smartphone's front-facing camera and earpiece, according to the report. This comes just hours after Asus unveiled its notch-touting Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 5Z smartphones, which are undoubtedly clones of Apple's latest flagship.

The OnePlus 6's display itself displays the handset's alleged specifications, which include 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage and Android 8.1 Oreo. These specs seem somewhat middling compared to the OnePlus 5T, though, which packs 8GB RAM and up to 128GB built-in storage.

A second image showing off the rear of the phone, which appears to be crafted from glass, as opposed to the metal construction of the OnePlus 5T. On the rear, you'll also find a fingerprint scanner, a dual lens camera and, unsurprisingly, the OnePlus logo.

You can also see the rear of the phone, which appears to be glass, marking a change from the metal back of the 5T. It houses a fingerprint scanner, a dual-lens camera and the OnePlus logo.

The leak doesn't give much else away, but earlier rumours suggested that the upcoming OnePlus flagship will pack a 6in 2880x1440 QHD+ resolution display. What's more, thanks to the firm's loose-lipped CEO Pete Lau, it's already been confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor. µ
