These work in tandem with the Snapdragon 845 to bring video shooting capabilities of up to 60fps at 4K resolution.

As for the battery, there’s a 3300mah non-replaceable battery like the last time that supports company’s own Dash Charging tech. OnePlus claims thats its OnePlus 6 can deliver around half day of use in 10 minutes of charging.
Now that the smartphone is out, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of reaction it gets from the crowd as it goes up against one of its newest rivals in town, the Honor 10.
