Available in Mirror Black, Midnight Black and a funky Silk White, the OnePlus 6 goes on sale with prices starting at around $530 USD.

The Chinese-designed device, which has won rave reviews around the world, charges in 30 minutes, can accommodate two sim cards and features a giant 6.28 inch all glass screen.

There's also quirky finger-print scanner on the rear of the phone, which leads to enhanced security and allows for less clutter on the front.

Reviewers have suggested, however, that the most striking feature of the phone is its blistering speed. Apparently, it performed better than leading iPhone and Android models in tests this week, leading to claims that rival brands should be ‘very afraid’ by the combination of quality and value offered by the OnePlus.

The device was revealed at a glamorous launch event in London last week.

1,000 tickets were made available for members of the public to attend the launch event, for the price of £30 each.

In return, as well as being the first consumers to see the OnePlus 6, attendees were given gift hampers and a voucher to spend on products.

Pop-up events around the world followed the London launch.

In the UK, it will only be available on a contract with the 02 network, or alternatively it can be purchased outright from the OnePlus official website.
