Hands-on leaked photos show OnePlus 6 pitted against iPhone X
What's the story
Several leaks and rumors have already revealed a lot about the upcoming OnePlus flagship, OnePlus 6. The latest hands-on image, surfaced on Chinese social media, shows a OnePlus 6 with its display turned-on and has been compared with an iPhone X. While the iPhone X may have debuted the notch, this leaked image suggests that OnePlus 6 might have done it a 'notch' better. Here's why.
The notch
It's OnePlus 6 vs iPhone X
In this latest image, OnePlus 6 can be seen with a visibly taller display and a smaller notch than the iPhone X. Notably, the OnePlus 6 display bears striking resemblance to that of the iPhone X, especially how the display is rounded at the curves. Moreover, OnePlus 6's ability to hide its notch will excite everyone who was disappointed by the $1,000 iPhone X.
