HIGHLIGHTS
- The founder of OnePlus Carl Pei revealed the notch in an interview.
- Carl Pei also revealed about bringing in the notch into their new flagship.
- Pei also admitted that they got the idea of a notch from Apple.
While interacting with The Verge, Pei said that OnePlus has employed the notch into their new flagship, which is the 'OnePlus 6'.The notch is not as big as in the iPhone X, it's just based upon the contents which the company intends to squeeze in that much of space. The notch in the OnePlus 6 contains an earpiece, front camera, ambient light sensor, and LED notification light. Pei also said that the notch is not as large as iPhone X's because the OnePlus 6 is not going to contain the structured light component like the dot projector which powers Apple's Face ID tech. It measures 19.616x687mm.
Pei also informed that they had tested over 1000 top Google Play apps to see how they would react with the notch, and what type of compatibilities the company will have to engineer in that. To provide some space for the status bar icons OnePlus 6 is going to move the clock to the left side of the display. According to Pei, the smartphone would hide the notch when playing a full-screen video. Pei also said that the OnePlus 6 will be the first phone among the OnePlus devices yet to have the largest display with a 90% screen-to-body ratio but it would not be larger than any Oneplus models in the total phone's size. Carl Pei also said that the OnePlus 6 would not be identical OPPO R15, as the recent speculation has concluded.
As the company is using the notch in its next flagship phone, Pei said its notice is to provide users with a much larger screen as possible. And to make this possible the notch is the best way. It has already started the iPhone X-like feature navigations to remove the Android's on-screen navigation and provide a larger screen. The notch will then help later to give a larger screen by moving the notification bar and status bar to a side of it.
In the interview, Pei being totally frank confirmed that Apple was really an inspiration for the company, he also agreed that "Apple really accelerates the adoption of new things and Ideas within the industry". Pei also confirmed that the new OnePlus 6 is going to have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is awesome news. OnePlus 6 will be having a chin in its bottom, unlike iPhone X.
OnePlus 6 is likely to be launched in May or June. And it will be running on Qualcomm Snapdragon's latest 845 chip.
