OnePlus continues to blur the line — separating an affordable smartphone and a premium smartphone — with the OnePlus 6.
Announced on May 16, the latest phone from the Chinese manufacturer has nearly every feature or specification one would expect to find in a Samsung or Apple device, but for half the cost.
ONEPLUS 6: DESIGN
The OnePlus 6 features an all-glass design, and a display that spans nearly the entire front of the phone, save for the new trend of a notch centered at the top of the phone.

ONEPLUS 6: ACCESSORIES
In addition to the OnePlus 6, the company also announced its first foray into wireless earbuds: The OnePlus Bullets Wireless. These earbuds wrap around the back of your neck.
The earphones use magnets to connect to one another when not in use, which doubles as a means to turn them on and off. When the magnets are connected, the earbuds turn off. When you disconnect the earbuds from one another, they automatically turn on and connect to your phone.
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless will cost $69 and be available in late June.
