A few phones have in display fingerprint readers and Vivo was the noisiest of most of the phones with this feature followed by a single design with Xiaomi MI8 explorer edition and the Porsche design Huawei mate RS.

The phone is also rumored to have a water drop front face camera notch which will be predominant on high-end phones launching in late 2018 or early 2019. The other alternative - as we pointed out in a separate article - will be a sliding front face camera module, but this is obviously a more expensive approach.

Bear in mind that OnePlus kept increasing prices over the years, but it still remained very moderately priced for the high-end hardware and features that it packs. The OnePlus 6 with a very high end specification starts at €/$ 519 which is rather a good price that just got challenged by Pocophone with a similar spec and a much lower price. 

The Snapdragon 845 is definitely a part of the design and the fact is that Google has an event a week earlier and Huawei has a global event in London a day earlier. This will be a rather busy time for  smartphone journalists. So October 17, and we will let you know what when we learn.
