The OnePlus 6 Red Edition will cost rupees price 39,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration in India. The new handset will go on sale from July 16.
Features
The company claims the handset has been designed using optical coating, evaporative film, and six panels of glass. There is an added anti-reflective layer on top of the glass panel that allows more light to reach the bottom before being reflected off the device creating an illusion of depth. The handset also has a red, mirror-like fingerprint sensor at the back. The phone sports the hardware same as that of the original OnePlus 6.
Specifications
The dual-SIM (Nano) OnePlus 6 runs Android 8.1 Oreo with OxygenOS 5.1 on top and will be upgradable to Android P. The handset features a 6.28-inch full-HD+ (1080px2280p) Full Optic AMOLED display with a 19:9 aspect ratio. The overall pixel density comes down to 402ppiand the dimensions of the handset are 155.7×75.4.7.75mm. Annoyingly though, the phone sports a notch which is the trend in 2018 while also having thin bezels at the top and bottom.
OnePlus has not provided expandable memory option via microSD card. For smooth connectivity, the smartphone has 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, USB Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is a rear-facing fingerprint sensor and a Face Unlock feature that works with the front camera sensor. All this is powered up by a 3300mAh battery.
Chipset
Under the hood, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM, 128GB storage and Adreno 630 GPU. The handset has a dual rear camera setup with a 16-megapixel primary Sony IMX519 sensor and an f/1.7 aperture and a 20-megapixel secondary Sony IM376K sensor. Both sensors are supported by a dual-LED flash. For selfies, the smartphone has a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture.
Decent Camera
Upon preliminary investigation it can be said that the design and colour are very vibrant and red. The battery performance coupled with One Plus dash charge technology is good. The design is subjective for person to person and cannot be said as revolutionary with the irritating notch but the screen brightness is a little below par for a flagship device. Lastly the camera is simple where you can take slow mo shots at 480p and decent shots in daylight. The appalling thing about the device is the hit or miss photography in low light conditions. The struggle is visible when you bring the device indoors in artificial light with images lacking colour and packing noise which is unpleasant to the eye.
