From PC World: While it's still likely several weeks away from being announced, we already have a pretty good picture of the OnePlus 6. After divulging that its next handset would indeed include a notch in the screen for the camera, the company has dropped a few more tantalizing details about its next phone, and it's taking yet another cue from Apple's iPhone X.
The Snapdragon 845 is Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor, bringing speed boosts and better battery life to Android’s top phones—soon to include the OnePlus 6. Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and S9+ were the first phone to feature it, but many more are due to follow, including the upcoming Sony Xperia XZ2 and Nokia 9.
Along with the Snapdragon 845 chip, the OnePlus 6 will pack 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Those specs are likely for the step-up model of the OnePlus 6, which traditionally costs $60 more than the base model, but they're impressive nonetheless. With the OnePlus 5T (pictured above), the company charged $499 for 6GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, and $559 for 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. However, there have been reports that the OnePlus 6 will have a higher starting price than the 5T, which could push the 256GB version over $600.
It's rare to find an Android phone with 256GB of storage, but OnePlus is one of the few phone makers that doesn't include a slot for expandable storage. Neither does Apple, and it introduced a 256GB option in its iPhone 8 and iPhone X last year.
Storage capacity isn't all the OnePlus 6 is borrowing from iPhone X. In a previous interview, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei told The Verge that the OnePlus 6 will sport an increasingly-fashionable notch at the top of the screen: "Our notch, it will be there," he added, noting: "I'll be bigger than the Essential Phone, smaller than the iPhone."
