The upcoming OnePlus battery champion will be released on January 8 in China.
OnePlus has announced the launch date for the OnePlus Turbo 6 in China. According to a teaser on Weibo, the OnePlus Turbo 6 series will be revealed on January 8 at 7 PM local time, featuring two models: the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V.
The standout feature is battery life. OnePlus claims both models are equipped with 9,000mAh batteries, which it describes as the largest it has ever incorporated into a smartphone. For comparison, the OnePlus 15 utilizes a dual-cell design with a typical rating of 3,650mAh, translating to 7,300mAh; therefore, the Turbo 6 represents a substantial improvement on paper.
The 9,000mAh battery is the main selling point.
OnePlus is also providing expected runtime figures ahead of the launch. Referencing a battery test from New Review Technology, they state that the regular Turbo 6 achieved 10 hours and 37 minutes on a full charge. Under “ultra-high intensity” conditions, OnePlus claims it lasts for “nearly” nine hours.
With moderate use, OnePlus asserts that users can expect 1 to 2 days of battery life per charge, amounting to roughly 10 hours of total usage time. However, the specifics of the testing setup, including display settings and the type of tasks performed, remain unclear, which is significant for users who play games or operate in high brightness conditions outdoors. Aside from the impressive battery life, OnePlus has also ensured that the Turbo 6 and 6V appear stylish.
Turbo 6 versus Turbo 6V?
Since both models have the same battery capacity, the differentiation lies in performance and displays. OnePlus indicates that the Turbo 6 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, complemented by LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, along with an Adreno 825 GPU. It features a 1.5K screen with a refresh rate of 165Hz, a plastic frame, and has an IP68 and IP69K rating for dust and water resistance. It will come with Android 16 based on OxygenOS 16.
The Turbo 6V is anticipated to retain the 9,000mAh battery but is speculated to have a 6.8-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, possibly powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4.
What to anticipate on January 8
The launch is expected to clarify purchasing details such as pricing, charging speeds, storage options, and the availability of the phones in China. It should also give insight into how OnePlus manages the extensive battery life alongside high refresh rates during real-world usage, beyond just laboratory tests.

Even for seasoned iPhone users, many tend to stick with the basic experience Apple offers rather than maximizing the device's potential. This is where apps become essential. I have been using an iPhone for five years now and have the opportunity to test new and exciting apps professionally.
