Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is expected to bring major performance upgrades with its new 2nm chipset — but it may also come with a higher price tag due to rising production costs.
The OnePlus Turbo lineup is expanding again — and this time, leaks and official teasers are revealing almost everything before launch. The company is preparing to introduce the OnePlus Turbo 6 series, consisting of the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V, officially debuting in China on January 8.
Early expectations hinted at a flagship-class smartphone, but the latest details suggest that OnePlus is focusing on high-performance mid-range phones, likely aligning this lineup closer to the Nord strategy rather than its premium numbered flagships.
The biggest takeaway from leaks is OnePlus’ renewed push toward performance and efficiency. When the brand promised "very powerful performance" and the "biggest battery", it became evident that these claims are targeted squarely at the mid-range smartphone market — offering near-flagship capability without premium pricing.
The OnePlus Turbo 6 takes inspiration from the OnePlus 15 series, but introduces subtle design changes:
Boxy frame and flat edges
Clean back panel
Square camera housing
Cameras arranged vertically instead of in a pill-shaped cluster
The minimal camera bump enhances the sleek look. Color options teased include:
Light Chaser Silver
Lone Black
Wilderness/Green variant
These shades lean toward muted, premium-looking tones.
Official teasers confirm that the Turbo 6 will feature:
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset
1.5K display resolution
165Hz refresh rate — ideal for gamers and smooth UI animations
One of the most surprising features is the 9,000mAh battery, paired with:
80W wired fast charging
27W reverse wired charging
The device is also tipped to feature an IP69 rating, offering strong protection against dust and water.
Listings show combinations such as:
12GB + 256GB / 512GB
16GB + 256GB / 512GB
These versions are already visible on OnePlus’ China website and retailer platforms like JD.com, where pre-reservations are live.
The Turbo 6V sits just below the Turbo 6 and features:
Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset
6.8-inch 1.5K OLED display
144Hz refresh rate
Dual-camera rear setup
Color options confirmed include:
Fearless Blue
Lone Black
Nova White
Leaks also suggest the Turbo 6V may pack a 9,000mAh battery, which would be extraordinary for its segment — though not yet officially confirmed.
Variants expected:
8GB + 256GB
12GB + 256GB
12GB + 512GB
Pricing leaks from tipster Paras Guglani suggest:
Turbo 6 under CNY 2,000 (approx ₹25,000)
Turbo 6V under CNY 1,799 (approx ₹23,000)
For India, the series may arrive at a higher price point — possibly around ₹35,000 — though OnePlus has not confirmed this yet.
The series will officially launch in China on: January 8 — 7 PM local time (4:30 PM IST)
More details about cameras, software features, and international rollout are expected soon as OnePlus continues teasing features ahead of launch.
