OnePlus Launches Turbo 6 and 6V in China With 9,000mAh Batteries and 165Hz Displays

Certification listings suggest a Nord 6 rebrand outside China.

Overview

  • The Turbo 6 series is official in China with preorders live and sales starting January 9, with pricing from about CNY 1,900 for the 6V and about CNY 2,300 for the Turbo 6 plus early‑bird discounts.
  • Both phones feature 9,000mAh batteries with 80W wired charging and up to 27W reverse wired charging, paired with 6.78‑inch 1.5K OLEDs offering up to 165Hz (Turbo 6) or 144Hz (6V), 1,800‑nit peaks, DC dimming and 3,840Hz PWM.
  • The Turbo 6 runs Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage and adds Wi‑Fi 7, while the 6V uses Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 with LPDDR4X, UFS 3.1 and Wi‑Fi 6; both ship with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.
  • Camera hardware is restrained, with a 50MP main sensor with OIS and 4K60 video plus a 16MP selfie camera, as the lineup prioritizes gaming features like a dedicated gaming kernel, large vapor chamber cooling and a high‑rate touch chip.
  • TDRA and SIRIM entries for a OnePlus Nord 6 point to a likely Turbo 6 rebrand in some markets, while tipsters claim a compact OnePlus 15T with a roughly 7,000–7,500mAh battery could launch in April and a Pro/Ultra‑tier OnePlus 16 is being considered for late 2026.
