As for durability, the Turbo 6 comes with the same IP68, IP69, & IP69K water and dust resistance ratings as the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R. The device packs an in-display optical fingerprint scanner for unlocking it.

The power button and volume rockers are seen on the right while it is likely that the left hand side of the device could house the Plus key, the programmable button seen on recent OnePlus devices. The global version of the device is also likely to run on OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16.

The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor which is the same SoC seen on the likes of iQOO Neo 10 and the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro. The device is paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

On the optics front, the phone comes with a 50MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. It packs a 32MP shooter on the front for selfies and video calls.

The headline of the Turbo 6 is a massive 9,000mAh battery, the biggest ever so far in a OnePlus phone, paired with 80W of SUPERVOOC wired fast charging and 27W reverse wired charging.

As for the design, the Turbo 6 comes with a squarish camera island with curved edges, similar to the new design that OnePlus has adopted from OnePlus 13s onwards. The camera island features a dual camera setup and a flash.

OnePlus Turbo 6 launch date:

OnePlus Turbo 6 will debut in Chian on 8 January. While OnePlus has not confirmed if the device could debut in India, earlier reports suggest that it could be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 6 for the Indian audiences. A report from Android Headlines, suggested that the phone could launch around early March, probably during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.

It comes in White, Black and Green colour options in China. However, it is possible that OnePlus plays around with the colour options when it launches the device in India.
