OnePlus 6, one of the most awaited Android smartphones of 2018, was launched in London on Wednesday. For the first ever, OnePlus has brought in a stylish all-glass design with an aluminium frame in the newly unveiled flagship phone OnePlus 6. 

However, OnePlus fans in India will have to wait for a few more hours to know the new flagship killer's price in India. The OnePlus 6 India launch event is scheduled to be held at 3 pm in Mumbai on Thursday. Fans will also get to see the Marvel Avengers Limited Edition model of OnePlus 6 during Thursday's event. The OnePlus 6 6GB RAM/64GB variant is speculated to be priced at Rs 36,999 in India while the 8GB RAM/128GB variant is likely to be priced at Rs 39,999.  

OnePlus 6 will go on sale in India on May 21 via Amazon, OnePlus pop-up stores and the OnePlus Experience Store in Bengaluru. 

Notably, as anticipated, OnePlus 6 takes a leaf out of iPhone X and spots a notch at the top of the 6.3-inch display, giving it more screen space, compared to OnePlus 5T and 5 models. The new phone retains the 3.5mm audio jack. OnePlus 6 also comes with a 'face unlock' feature and fingerprint sensor.
