OnePlus on Friday announced the OnePlus 6 iteration of its community review programme called The Lab, ahead of the smartphone’s launch. The Chinese manufacturer has invited interested buyers to sign up for the programme, which will allow them to use the latest flagship smartphone before its release and write a detailed community review of OnePlus 6.
