OnePlus Turbo 6 Series Revealed With 9,000mAh Battery

9,000mAh Power

Key Takeaways:
OnePlus has teased two gaming phones, the OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V, launching Jan 8 in China.
Both models are confirmed to use a massive 9,000 mAh battery and 165Hz displays.
OnePlus lists a Snapdragon “8s” chip for at least one model and says the phones are water/dust resistant.

What OnePlus announced

OnePlus posted a teaser on Weibo confirming its new “Turbo 6” series and a January 8 launch in China. The company revealed two models: the OnePlus Turbo 6 and the Turbo 6V.

The short video emphasizes design cues — a light-chasing finish, an ultra-transparent texture, extra-large rounded corners and an ultra-thin metal cube frame. The standard Turbo 6 gets a bit more visual flair on the rear panel, while the Turbo 6V aligns with prior hands-on leaks.

Confirmed hardware highlights

OnePlus confirmed a headline figure: a 9,000 mAh battery in the Turbo 6 series. That capacity is notably larger than most mainstream phones and points squarely at long endurance for gaming and extended screen-on time.

The teaser also lists 165Hz displays, a Snapdragon “8s” processor in at least one model, and water/dust proofing. OnePlus didn’t detail RAM, storage, camera specs, or charging speed in the teaser.

Why the battery matters

A 9,000 mAh cell will be a strong selling point for mobile gamers and heavy users who prioritize uptime. It may also reshape expectations around device thickness and thermal design, but OnePlus has not yet shared exact dimensions or weight.

Fast charging numbers are currently unconfirmed; OnePlus historically pairs large batteries with aggressive charging, but the company has not published the Turbo 6 charging spec yet.

Design and variants

The Turbo 6 family appears to favor a clean, gaming-oriented aesthetic rather than overt RGB accents. OnePlus describes the finish as “light-chasing” with an ultra-transparent texture and calls out extra-large rounded corners for comfort in hand.

Leaks that surfaced earlier this month match the Turbo 6V seen in the company’s video, helping validate the two-model lineup and the visual differences teased.

Launch and availability

OnePlus confirmed the January 8 launch event in China. The company has not provided global availability or pricing details, and it’s unclear when the Turbo 6 series will reach markets outside China.

What to watch next

Expect full spec sheets, charging figures, and pricing at the January event. Leaks and hands-on impressions will likely fill gaps before a global debut, if OnePlus decides to bring the Turbo 6 series to international markets.
