New OnePlus 6 leak reveals 3.5mm jack, interesting rear

Last month, we saw two photos allegedly presenting a OnePlus 6 prototype - a large phone with an iPhone X-like notch, a centered dual rear camera, and a fingerprint scanner below it. Now, we can take a look at another image that supposedly also shows OnePlus’ next-generation smartphone.   

The new image - seen above - comes from trusty Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) and partially exposes the rear, bottom, and left side of what could be a real OnePlus 6. The phone’s rear has a distinctive texture, so it’s different from the shiny back seen on the previously leaked photos. However, the fingerprint scanner and the dual camera match the ones revealed last month. 

The bottom of this alleged OnePlus 6 includes a USB Type-C port, a speaker, and a 3.5mm headphone jack (as you may know, unlike other smartphone makers, OnePlus is quite fond of standard audio jacks). We can also notice a “Designed by OnePlus” etching on the back of the new handset. All in all, the OnePlus 6 might resemble the recently announced Oppo R15 (as widely assumed), but only when viewed from the front. Its rear seems to be completely redesigned. 

The new OnePlus flagship phone is expected to pack powerful hardware, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and up to 8 GB of RAM. We might have to wait until June to see the handset hitting the market - let’s hope the wait will be worth it.
