Update: The latest OnePlus 6 leak is an image that gives us another look at the front of the handset, including the already-confirmed notch.
Things are getting tough at the top of the smartphone game, and where OnePlus used to have a dedicated place as the de facto 'low cost, great spec' smartphone, that position is increasingly under threat from other brands.
The OnePlus 6 will be replacing the OnePlus 5T right now (the latter is actually not on sale anymore in the US). The 5T was already one of the more impressive phones of 2017, finally bringing the longer display that was so fashionable among the other big brands, as well as improvements to the camera. OnePlus 6 promises to be better.
However, there are more changes coming to the OnePlus 6, with a larger screen and a notch at the top on a similar vein to the iPhone X now confirmed for the handset.
We're really hoping that the resolution gets upped beyond Full HD this year - although the leaks so far suggest this isn't going to happen.
We've got a lot of information about the new phone, so here's everything you need to know about the new OnePlus 6.

Cut to the chase
What is it? The next numbered flagship from OnePlus
When is it out? Launch event is rumored to be April or May
What will it cost? Similar price to the 5T, undercutting rival flagships
OnePlus 6 release date
The OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 3 were both released in June of their respective years, so June 2018 is the obvious launch date for the OnePlus 6, but a number of rumors suggest it'll arrive a little earlier this year.
Evidence that the OnePlus 6 could launch earlier includes a source who spoke to GizmoChina claiming it will be announced in April (though they previously said it was going to be March, but that month came and went with no sign of the phone).
April seems more likely though, as OnePlus has run out of stock of the OnePlus 5T in the US and needs to start selling a phone to replace the 5T.
That leaves the door wide open for the OnePlus 6, although there's still stock of the 5T in other regions including the UK and Europe.
OnePlus 6 price
It looks like the OnePlus 6 price will be the highest the firm has ever charged for a smartphone. How much it costs if the one thing we don't know for certain about the new phone, but everything points to it being more expensive than last year's devices.
The latest two price leaks point to a OnePlus 6 price tag between $605 (about £430, AU$790) to $749 (around £530, AU$970), and could go as far as £700 in reality when the UK prices are announced.
To put that into context, the $499 price tag of the 5T would have been around £320 when converted, but landed at £449 on the shelves.
A small price increase wouldn't be a surprise considering the specs rumored for the OnePlus 6, and its competition in the market, but a jump quite this large will be hard for some fans to handle.
OnePlus has also confirmed that there will be a 256GB variant of the handset, which we'd expect will push the price up from the 5T.

It's official, the OnePlus 6 will have an iPhone X-style notch in its display, although it will be smaller than the one found on Apple's flagship smartphone.
The Chinese firm has also confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will feature the biggest screen it's ever put on a phone while not increasing the handset's overall size, resulting in a 90% screen-to-body ratio.

With the OnePlus 5T already boasting a 6.01-inch display, rumors that the OnePlus 6 screen will measure 6.28 inches are now even more believable.

Finally, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei also confirmed that the firm's next device will retain a headphone jack - which will be music to many people's ears. That said, OnePlus is also entering into the wireless headphone business, according to a Bluetooth database leak that seemingly confirms OnePlus Bullet Wireless headphones.
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has also been doing some leaking of his own, confirming that the firm will roll out an update to the OnePlus 6 after its launch which will allow users to 'hide' the screen notch.
This news chimes with a leaked image from Evan Blass which shows the OnePlus 6 touting a similar style to the OnePlus 5T, it looks to have a textured back and a realigned camera module.

Our first potential look at the OnePlus 6 came courtesy of ITHome, who published a couple of snaps claiming to show the new handset in the flesh.
If genuine, the new OnePlus 6 could adopt a glass rear - something that's been missing from the firm's previous handsets. It wouldn't be the first time it's used glass on the rear of a device though, as the short-lived OnePlus X featured this finish.
While things didn't go all that well for the OnePlus X, the glass-metal body is on trend in 2018 and would see the OnePlus 6 follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 8, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9 and Sony Xperia XZ2.

The leak also shows a vertically stacked rear dual-camera setup in the middle of the phone, with a fingerprint scanner below it.
Another image leak claiming to show the OnePlus 6 adds further weight to the previous images, with a similar looking handset.

We've also seen a leaked specs sheet, listing a 6.28-inch 2280 x 1080 display, with the phone said to be 7.5mm thick and 175g.
Leaked screenshots also reveal a potentially widescreen 19:9 aspect ratio and also hint at the presence of a notch, as the icons at the top are all to one side or the other.
