A new OnePlus smartphone appears to be inching closer to an official debut, and the latest clue is a key certification in India. The device, identified by the model number CPH2805, first surfaced in a leak back in December 2025 and was quickly rumored to be a global variant tied to the OnePlus Turbo 6 lineup. Now that it has shown up in India’s BIS database, it’s a strong sign that OnePlus is actively preparing for a launch in the region.
Naturally, that has sparked fresh speculation about what this phone will be called when it reaches global markets. Some believe it may arrive as the OnePlus Nord 6 CE, though OnePlus hasn’t confirmed a final name yet. What’s clear is that the company seems to be working on multiple devices connected to the Turbo 6 series, and CPH2805 could be part of that strategy.
To understand where this phone might fit, it helps to look at the OnePlus Turbo 6 family. The series is expected to include two models: the OnePlus Turbo 6 and the OnePlus Turbo 6V. Previous leaks have suggested that the Turbo 6—reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4—could launch globally under the name OnePlus Nord 6. If that happens, it would make sense for CPH2805 to be linked to the other model in the lineup, potentially a rebranded Turbo 6V for international release.
If CPH2805 is indeed based on the OnePlus Turbo 6V, the rumored specifications paint a picture of a feature-packed mid-range phone aimed at buyers who want flagship-style perks without the premium price. The Turbo 6V is said to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, a combination that should appeal to mobile gamers and anyone who values fluid scrolling and sharper visuals.
Performance is expected to come from the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. Early expectations suggest it offers around a 7% performance bump compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which would make it a modest but meaningful improvement for everyday speed, multitasking, and efficiency.
Camera hardware, based on the same leaked details, includes a 50MP rear camera and a 16MP front-facing selfie camera. You also get an optical in-display fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking, keeping the design modern and clean.
One of the most attention-grabbing rumored specs is the battery size. The Turbo 6V is tipped to pack a massive 9,000mAh battery, which—if accurate—could translate into standout battery life and position the device as a top choice for heavy users who don’t want to worry about charging throughout the day.
As for timing, leaks suggest the OnePlus Nord 6 could launch in early April. However, it’s still uncertain whether a potential Nord 6 CE (if that ends up being the name for CPH2805) would be announced alongside it or introduced separately. For now, BIS certification adds momentum to the idea that an India launch is coming, and more concrete details should surface as OnePlus moves closer to an official reveal.
