OnePlus is planning to roll out a new update for the current flagship OnePlus 6 in coming days, the company has said in its weekly (edition 242) report.
Last month, several OnePlus 6 owners had complained that their flagship phone's screen flicker when adaptive screen mode is on. It is particularly annoying when watching a video on the phone as it would flutter even on a slight movement in the air. It is more discernible when the screen background is white or any bright colour.
The company while announcing that OnePlus 3 will get Android P (later in the year), and open beta for OnePlus 5 series, said it intends to release the software patch to OnePlus 6.
"We have noticed feedback from some users regarding the adaptive brightness feature on the OnePlus 6, it will be optimized in the next OTA update. (to be released very soon!)," OnePlus Forum admin said.
In addition to the bug-fix, the OTA update is expected to include Google's latest August 2018 security patch.
This is one of the hallmarks of OnePlus that makes the customers stay loyal to the brand and it's no wonder that, the company has managed to outrank big players such as Apple and Samsung in India to become country's top premium (above Rs 30,000) phone brand in India.
The company has reportedly sold a million OnePlus 6 units in just 22 days and India, the world's fastest and second biggest market, accounted 1/3rd of the OnePlus' revenue.
Barring the flickering issue, OnePlus 6 is still a compelling device to buy. It is one of the most cost-effective phones in the market. If you are residing in India and happen to be an ICICI Bank (credit/debit) card user, you can avail discounts up to Rs 1,500 on the device.
If you are ready to trade in your old device, then you can also claim up to Rs 14,900. To sum up, he or she can save up to Rs 16,500 and get a OnePlus 6 base model (6GB RAM+64GB storage) for just Rs 18,599 against the MRP: Rs 34,999.
This offer is also valid on 8GB RAM+128GB storage (Rs 39,999) and 8GB RAM+256GB storage (Rs 43,999) models.
OnePlus 6 sports a 6.2-inch full HD+ (2160x1080p) screen with 19:9 aspect ratio. It comes with an Apple iPhone X-like notch on top of the display, which houses a 20MP sensor with face unlock capability.
It boasts rear dual-camera 16MP+20MP with an F1.7 aperture in the centre and a fingerprint sensor below it for easy access to the finger to unlock screen and also act as a shutter button to take a selfie.
