Newsworthy: Oneplus 6 design all but certain
+EDIT - According to Phone Arena, the case render is fan made render based on previous leaks. However, I still believe the phone will look something like this.

Hi fellow Steemers!

One of the most anticipated smartphones this year is Oneplus 6 and its design has seemingly been revealed before its release.

The design of the phone was revealed at MobileFun, where the site showcased the phone fitted in various cases.

We can see clear views of the front and back of the phone.

The front, as expected, uses a notch design, similar to that of the iPhone X and many recent Chinese phones, such as the Huawei P20 series.

It certainly has shaved much bezel, compared to its predecessor the Oneplus 5T which also featured a bezel-less design without a notch.

Moving to the back, we see a dual camera setup (presumably one typical wide angle and one telephoto camera) with a fingerprint scanner below the cameras. It seems Oneplus couldn't get the in-screen fingerprint implemented on its phone just yet. If you're aware, Oneplus is part of China's BBK group, which also owns OPPO and Vivo. Recently Vivo showcased the concept Apex phone which featured a almost all screen front with in-screen fingerprint scanner and launched the X20 Plus UD, which is the first phone in the world to be released with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Considering the BBK group has already implemented in-screen fingerprint scanner already in a phone, it's interesting that they haven't put it in their Oneplus flagship (which is a more niche company compared to Vivo).

The general specs of the phone is expected to be not so different from other flagships of today, featuring:

Snapdragon 845
8GB of RAM
Storage up to 256GB
20-megapixel & 16-megapixel main cameras
16-megapixel front camera

The phone is expected to be officially revealed on May 5. We'll see if the rumours are true on that day!

What do you think of the design? Should Oneplus not have chosen a notch design? Let me know!
