OnePlus 6 could be unveiled on May 5, suggests leaked invite

Recent reports have tipped that the OnePlus 6 could be announced earlier this year. While the OnePlus 5 was unveiled in June last year, the OnePlus 6 is believed to arrive in May, which is earlier than the launch schedule. However, there was no clarity regarding when exactly the flagship killer will see the light of the day. Now, a leaked media invite suggests that the smartphone will be unveiled on May 5.

As per a launch invite, which is claimed to have been shared over Telegram, the OnePlus 6 is slated to be unveiled on May 5 at 2 PM. As the invite is in Chinese, we believe that the launch event will happen in China and adhere to the Chinese Time Zone. The invite seen in the image above does not divulge any further information about the OnePlus 6.

Though the launch event was expected to happen in May, there were speculations that it might happen at the end of May. Having said that, this leaked invite comes in as a surprise as it suggests that the event will happen on May 5. However, one thing that we would like to mention is that there is no confirmation from the company regarding the May 5 announcement of the flagship smartphone. Until then, we need to consider this invite with a grain of salt.
