OnePlus New Turbo Smartphone Series in China
OnePlus has released its new "Turbo" smartphone series under two initial models, OnePlus Turbo 6 and OnePlus Turbo 6V, in China. Both devices come with gigantic 9,000 mAh batteries and high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays.
Turbo 6 Performance Upper Mid-Range
Of these two smartphones, the OnePlus Turbo 6 was meant to compete with the other devices in the upper-mid-range. Here are some core specifications:
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
- Memory: LPDDR5X RAM
- Storage: UFS 4.1 flash storage
- Display: 6.78 AMOLED, 2,772 x 1,272 pixels, 1,800 nits, 165 Hz refresh rate
- Battery: 9,000 mAh with 80W wired charging
- Cameras: 50 MP primary (OIS), 2 MP monochrome auxiliary, 16 MP front-facing
OnePlus Turbo 6V The More Affordable Phone

- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4
- Memory: LPDDR4X RAM
