OnePlus could soon be launching a new smartphone in India in its budget-focused Nord lineup. The company had unveiled its Nord 5 lineup in June last year and it seems like the next batch of devices could be arriving in the country in the next few weeks.
What to expect from OnePlus Nord 6?
OnePlus Nord 6 has recently been spotted on Geekbench with the CPH2795 model number. The phone is said to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Turbo 6 that debuted in China a few months back.
The device could come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. It could feature up to 12GB of RAM while running on Android 16-based OxygenOS 16.
Meanwhile, tipster Yogesh Brar recently shared some other details of the phone including its display, camera and battery.
The tipster stated that the OnePlus Nord 6 could come with a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Apart from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the phone is said to come with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
The biggest upgrade from last year could be the addition of IP68/IP69 and IP69K protection, up from the IP65 rating on its predecessor. This means that the Nord 6 could be protected against submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water along with hot/cold water jets.
The phone is also said to come with a massive 9,000mAh battery with support for 80W of wired fast charging and 27W of wireless charging. In contrast, the Nord 5 came with a 6,800mAh battery with 80W charging.

With the recent chip shortages, many recently launched phones have been getting a price hike and this could also be the case with the OnePlus Nord 6. For reference, its predecessor began at a price of ₹31,999 for the 8GB RAM/256GB storage variant and went all the way up to ₹37,999 for the top-end variant.
