This looks very similar to Huawei Mate 9! Most probably wrong rumor.

viveksubhash, 13 Jun 2017I really don't know why people are against sealed batteries... moreLaptops are generally not glued shut, so skilled end users can usually replace faulty batteries. Opening a phone, without reducing it to rubbish, is quite a different matter.
But yeah, with a bit of care, a good Li-ion battery pretty much last as long as a smartphone screen, so for phone, I guess I'm fine with glue - if it gets me a good IP rating in return.

Anonymous, 12 Jun 2017Oh look, Huawei Mate 9! With a stylus!Pot calling the kettle black :D
Have you seen the Mate 9 Pro with dual curved display and the home button looking identical to a Galaxy Note 7, S7 Edge?? If it never said Huawei at the top it be a blatant Samsung clone.

Well this isn't seems like a schematic. because a schematic must have the all side layout and not just one or a other. And if they wants to give tough competition to apple and others they must have to put finger print sensor under the screen.

finally stereo speakers !
now if only Sammy throw it's hybrid tray nonsense and go for dedicted SIM / SD card would be a steal.
also removable battery cause people (in general) rather have serviceability than IP68 (the f*gphone -ish style that everyone hates including me!).

Hopefully dual speakers this time. And an interesting thing to point out, does it have quad LED flash (2 groups on each side of the camera)?

Anonymous, 12 Jun 2017Oh look, Huawei Mate 9! With a stylus!R u dumb or what? Does it matter what the phone looks like? The oneplus seemingly looks like the iphone 7 plus but people gonna still buy it, manufacturers take ideas from other companies and in this case for samsung they had to move the fingerprint scanner to a better place the camera was always in the middle but let's see. Samsung was the first to establish the phablet with a stylus and companies laughed and look now?

I prefer keeping the fingerprint sensor on the back. The iris scanner works beautifully for me. It's fast, accurate, and easier.
