Dual cameras are most likely to be present at the previous generation of OnePlus had them. We are not sure of the exact configuration of the cameras but the orientation is more likely new.

#3 Notch Design
This is quite a trend after the market accepted the iPhone X with a notch. Many leaks are circulating showing the notch display to the front. It is likely to be a choice as it provides the manufacturer with more screen real estate. With the craze for bigger displays and thin bezels becoming a necessity, the manufacturer may find this the way to house the sensors and front camera. OnePlus has always seen to have taken inspiration from the Oppo R series of phones. The OnePlus 5 was inspired by the latest Oppo R11 which looked identical to OnePlus 5 which launched later. The newly launched Oppo R15 can give us design hints of the upcoming OnePlus 6 which clearly shows a Notch Display. The design can see a revamp with the introduction of textured back as per a Tweet from Evan Blass
