Upcoming OnePlus Device May Not be Called as the OnePlus 6

OnePlus hasn’t been very predictive when it comes to naming conventions of smartphones. The Chinese brand is now looking to skip the OnePlus 6 moniker and introduce its upcoming flagship smartphone as either the OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 8. Pete Lau, co-founder of OnePlus today posted on his official Weibo account as “Equal to 7 or 8 equal to it” (Google Translated one as the original text was in Chinese), hinting at the OnePlus’ next smartphone arrival with moniker OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 8. This is rather an indirect post from the co-founder of the company, but we’re assuming that the OnePlus 6 will not be launched, considering the fact that the OnePlus 2 is the only smartphone in the company’ so-far launched product portfolio which failed to impress the audience. Since then, OnePlus is said to keep themselves away from the even number products.

The OnePlus 4 was never launched, instead, the company launched the OnePlus 5 directly last year. Before the launch event of the OnePlus 5, Carl Pei, one of the co-founders of the company stated that the company would be looking to not launch products with even numbers because they like odd numbers. But the absence of the OnePlus 4 was more or less related to some phobia in the Chinese market.

Possibly, the upcoming OnePlus device will be called as the OnePlus 7 and surely not OnePlus 8 due to the reason we explained above. OnePlus already confirmed that the phone would have a notched display with 19:9 aspect ratio to the front, followed by the top-of-the-line specifications. And it won’t look like the Oppo R15 smartphone which was launched very recently.
