Soon after announcing the launch date for Nord CE 6 on 7 May, OnePlus has itself revealed almost all of the specifications of its upcoming device. The Chinese smartphone maker has announced that the Nord CE 6 will come with an AMOLED display, an 8,000mAh battery, and Android 16-powered OxygenOS 16.
OnePlus Nord CE 6 launch date:
The Nord CE 6 will debut in India on 7 May at 12 PM (India time). The phone will be available in three colour variants: Fresh Blue, Lunar Pearl, and Pitch Black.
Apart from the Nord CE 6, OnePlus will also be launching the Nord CE 6 Lite on the same date.
OnePlus Nord CE 6 specs:
OnePlus Nord CE 6 will feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone will also get a big boost in the durability department, with the Nord CE 6 coming with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for water and dust resistance, along with MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification.
The phone will also come with a dual-speaker setup with support for up to 300% volume boost.
Under the hood, the Nord CE 6 is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor along with a dedicated Touch Reflex chip that supports a 3200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate.
The smartphone is backed by an 8,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging and 27W reverse wired charging.
For optics, the phone will pack a 50MP primary shooter with dual-axis optical image stabilisation (OIS). The front-facing shooter will be a 32MP lens with autofocus support, the same lens seen on the Nord 6. Both the front and rear cameras support 4K video recording.
The Nord CE 6 will ship with OxygenOS 16 powered by Android 16, along with features like AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, and AI Portrait Glow twitter-tweetded in the gallery app.
The design of the phone suggests that there won’t be support for the multi-function ‘Plus’ key, which is available on most latest OnePlus devices from OnePlus 15 to the Nord 6.

OnePlus Nord CE 6 expected price:
OnePlus Nord CE 5 launched in India at a starting price of ₹24,999 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant. However, with the recent price hikes in smartphones due to memory chip shortages, it is likely that the CE 6 will get affected as well. However, the phone should still arrive in India in the sub- ₹30,000 category.
