Release dateWhile early rumours claimed an 'early 2018' launch, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, speaking to CNET at this year's CES, confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will be unveiled in "late Q2 2018", which means a June launch is more likely on the cards.

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. 
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.
