OnePlus 6 ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ edition seems to be happening

With the promotions for Avengers: Infinity War in full swing, news surrounding the big Marvel movie are abundant. One of the latest reports from Deadline report about the advertising campaign and partnerships Marvel is involved in to promote the film (which it claims is the “biggest advertising campaign yet” for Marvel). One of the brands mentioned is OnePlus and the supposed release of the OnePlus 6 Avengers edition in the UK. It says the unit will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM. The report suggests it’s coming out just in the UK but when the teaser leaked, it came from India. Perhaps the phone will be limited to certain regions? We can’t say just yet. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for updates.

[Updated] OnePlus' newest Open Beta updates weren't intentionally pulled

Beta tests are where companies help work out kinks on latest software updates before these get rolled out to all its users. It seems the latest version of Open Beta update for OnePlus devices has been causing bigger problems than usual, prompting the company to pull all versions from its site. The versions pulled include Open Beta 5 for the OnePlus 5T, Open Beta 7 for the OnePlus 5, Open Beta 24 for the OnePlus 3T, Open Beta 33 for the OnePlus 3. The main issue is said to be excessive battery drain, among other reported problems. Those who got the latest builds might have to wait a bit to get their phones fixed. There is no word yet from OnePlus when updates are coming.

We just got word from OnePlus that the builds for the phones were not intentionally pulled. According to a representative from the company, the links were removed because they're currently migrating from oneplus.net to oneplus.com. For those waiting for the Open Beta links to come back up, these will be restored soon.

OnePlus CEO spills beans on OnePlus 6’s specs

Writing about the upcoming OnePlus 6, CEO Pete Lau shares what the company wants to create with each new device

OnePlus isn’t know from keeping its secrets too close to its chest. With the OnePlus 5T off the market, at least in this part of the world, OnePlus’s CEO Pete Lau is ready to talk about what’s coming next (a.k.a. the OnePlus 6). Lau took to the company’s forums to discuss what customers can expect from the OnePlus 6. What we know now is that it’s going to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB internal storage. These specs aren’t that surprising as we expect the best from the flagships we come across now. We’re probably just a few weeks away from the launch of this new phone, especially with the leaked teaser of a possible Avengers tie-up.

Are we getting an ‘Avengers’-themed OnePlus 6?

Last year, OnePlus drew attention for its Star Wars-branded OnePlus 5T. And it looks like they might try this again with another Disney-owned title: Avengers. A video got posted on OnePlus India’s Facebook page that showed a teaser of OnePlus and Avengers logo. It seems to have been wrongfully published as it was taken down soon after. It hints though that the OnePlus 6 might be heading our way sooner than we think with Avengers: Infinity War heading to theatres this April 27. Perhaps OnePlus will use this opportunity to launch its newest flagship? We can’t say just yet. We also can’t tell whether this will be another India exclusive or it’ll get a wider release. We have a few more weeks before we find out. But we’re keeping our eyes peeled.

Some of the rumoured specs of the next OnePlus flagship include Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, up to 8GB of RAM, and 256GB storage. It’ll have a notch and may get different finishes for the back.
