OnePlus has launched the Turbo Series in China with the Turbo 6 and the Turbo 6V with huge 9,000mAh batteries.
Starting off with the OnePlus Turbo 6, it is pretty well stacked. It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution that runs at 165Hz. and peak at 1800 nits
It is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of fast UFS 4.1 storage. It also has the G1 Wi-Fi enhancement chip and another one to power the touch sampling rate which can go up to 330Hz.
The phone is powered by a 9,000mAh battery which is one of the biggest I have seen so far, even eclipsing the 7,300mAh cell on the OnePlus 15. It can be charged up to 80W in wired mode and can do 27W reverse wired charging.
Cameras seem not to be its focal point with a 50MP main camera with a f/1.88 aperture and OIS that can do 4K @60fps video recording, a 2MP monochrome rear camera for some reason and a 16MP selfie camera. with a f/2.4 aperture that maxes out at 1080p @30fps.
The Turbo 6V’s biggest difference from the Turbo 6 is that it uses the less powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. It has the touch chip like its pricier sibling but lacks the others. The 6V ‘only’ goes up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of the slower UFS 3.1 storage. It shares the same display and the huge 9,000mAh battery as its sibling
Both phones have ingress protection, IP66, IP68 and IP69 which is good for accidental drops on water and in dusty conditions. The Turbo 6 gets Wi-Fi 7 but the 6V only gets Wi-Fi 6 but both get the slow USB-C 2.0 port.
The biggest selling point for these OnePlus phones will definitely be the huge 9,000mAh batteries, but Honor recently released a 10,000 mAh battery on a phone that is not much thicker than an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Turbo 6 is the more premium one with a base price of CNY 2,300 (Ksh 42,500) for the base 12GB RAM/256GB unit and the 6V starts at CNY 1,900 (Ksh 35,100) for an 8GB/256GB unit.
