OnePlus has launched the new OnePlus N6 smartphone in India. The phone makes its global debut in the country and targets buyers looking for a long-lasting battery, smooth performance, and reliable software support in the sub-Rs. 25,000 price segment.
The OnePlus N6 features a 6.8-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and animations. The display supports up to 1,200 nits High Brightness Mode, which makes it easier to view content outdoors under bright sunlight.
The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 processor built on a 6nm process. It is paired with up to 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Users can further expand the storage by up to 2TB using a microSD card. The phone runs Android 16 with OxygenOS 16 and will receive two major Android OS updates along with three years of security updates.
To keep temperatures under control, the OnePlus N6 includes a 5,300mm² vapor chamber cooling system. The company claims the chipset achieves an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 615,800.
The smartphone features a 50MP rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. It supports 1080p video recording at up to 60fps, 720p slow-motion recording at 120fps, and Dual-View Video recording using both front and rear cameras.
OnePlus has also added several AI-powered camera features. These include AI Eraser for removing unwanted objects, AI Perfect Shot for selecting the best image from multiple frames, AI Unblur, Reflection Eraser, AI Portrait Glow, and AI Detail Boost.
The OnePlus N6 is built with durability in mind. It comes with Military-Grade durability certification based on the MIL-STD-810H standard and uses the company’s ArmorShell protection system. The phone is tested to withstand drops, extreme temperatures, rain, dust, and other harsh environmental conditions. It also carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C audio, bottom-firing speakers with 400% Ultra Volume mode, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6, and support for dual 5G connectivity.
The phone packs a massive 8,000mAh battery, which is one of the largest batteries available in this price range. The company claims the phone can deliver up to three days of usage on a single charge.
The smartphone also supports 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging for quicker charging. It features Bypass Charging, which powers the phone directly during gaming or streaming to reduce heat generation and improve performance. It also supports 5W reverse charging, which allows users to charge other devices in emergencies.
OnePlus says the battery is designed to retain more than 80% of its health even after 1,600 charge cycles, which is claimed to be around seven years of regular use. The phone also includes a Super Power Saving Mode that keeps essential functions such as calling and navigation available even when the battery level drops to 5% or 1%.
