OnePlus could soon launch a budget phone that could seriously endanger the so-called feature-packed mid-ranger from other brands. The company has already kicked off the handset’s teaser campaign in India, dropping cryptic visuals of a silhouette smartphone, alongside a tagline that reads “Entering the Nord era soon.”
The handset, purported to be Nord 6, could put other mid-rangers to shame, or at least that is what the leaked specifications suggest. Before we talk about the hardware upgrades, it’s important to note that the Nord 6 is believed to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Turbo 6, which is available only in China.
So, what’s actually inside the upcoming OnePlus midranger?
That said, let’s tackle all the leaked Nord 6’s specifications one by one. First of all, the upcoming smartphone could sport a 9,000 mAh battery that supports 80W wired charging.
Currently, the OnePlus 15R holds the crown for the company’s biggest battery smartphone, but it might not hold that position for much longer.
To give you some perspective, 9,000 mAh is almost as big as the combined battery capacity of the new Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The Nord 6’s battery could, in a very real way, provide over 12 to 14 hours of screen-on time between charges, making it a two-day battery phone for most users.
Upgraded specs could result in a serious price jump
On the performance front, the handset will offer a serious jump, thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (4nm) chipset. Its GPU is powerful enough to support high frame rate gaming.
For capturing pictures, the smartphone could come with a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization and a 16MP selfie shooter. Finally, the OnePlus Nord 6 could also feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen that supports a refresh rate of up to 165Hz.
However, all the upgraded specifications could result in a serious bump in the phone’s price. The Nord 6’s price tag could be around $500 in India, where it is confirmed to launch in early April. A United States launch is still under question, though.
