OnePlus enthusiasts have a reason to cheer as the tech giant gears up for its next big launch. The company is scheduled to unveil its new Turbo 6 series in the Chinese market on January 8. According to industry insiders and certification leaks, this series is expected to arrive in India and other global markets rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 6.
Positioned in the upper mid-range segment, the Nord 6 aims to redefine performance and battery standards for 2026.
Immersive Display and High-End Performance
The OnePlus Nord 6 is rumored to feature a stunning 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display. To cater to gamers and tech enthusiasts, it is expected to support a flagship-grade 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth transitions and responsiveness.
Under the hood, the device is likely to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This choice of processor suggests that OnePlus is not compromising on power, offering flagship-level speeds at a more accessible price point. The phone is expected to come with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
Professional Grade Camera and Industry-Leading Battery
In the photography department, the Nord 6 is expected to maintain a clean and effective dual-camera setup:
- Primary Camera: 50MP sensor (likely with OIS for stable shots).
- Secondary Camera: 8MP ultra-wide lens.
- Front Camera: A 16MP shooter for high-quality selfies and video calls.
The standout feature, however, is the battery. Leaks suggest a massive 7,800mAh battery—one of the largest in its segment—paired with 120W wired fast charging. This combination ensures that the device can easily last over two days on a single charge and power up in minutes.
