OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro tipped to join the budget smartphone lineup
OnePlus could be preparing to expand its affordable Turbo smartphone series with two new models aimed at the Chinese market. According to a fresh leak from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is working on the OnePlus Turbo 6X and OnePlus Turbo 6X Pro, which may arrive as more accessible alternatives within the brand’s performance-focused budget range.
The OnePlus Turbo series was introduced earlier this year as a lower-cost smartphone lineup. At the moment, the series includes the standard OnePlus Turbo 6 and the OnePlus Turbo 6V. If the latest information is accurate, the upcoming Turbo 6X models could give buyers more options across different price points, especially for users looking for large displays, high refresh rates, and big batteries.
The leak claims that the OnePlus Turbo 6X may feature an LCD screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. That would make it an appealing option for users who want smoother scrolling and a better gaming experience without paying flagship-level prices. A 144Hz panel is still a strong selling point in the budget and mid-range smartphone market, particularly for mobile gamers and heavy social media users.
The OnePlus Turbo 6X Pro, on the other hand, is rumored to come with an OLED display offering a “1.5K” resolution. This could give the Pro model a more premium viewing experience, with deeper blacks, better contrast, and sharper visuals compared to a typical Full HD+ LCD panel. If true, the display could become one of the main differences between the regular Turbo 6X and the Pro version.
Other specifications for the OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro have not been revealed yet. However, early speculation suggests that the two phones may be closely related to the global OnePlus Nord CE6 and OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite. If that connection turns out to be accurate, the Turbo 6X Pro could be based on the Nord CE6, while the standard Turbo 6X may share hardware with the Nord CE6 Lite.
The OnePlus Nord CE6 features a 6.78-inch display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, and a massive 8,000mAh battery. These specs make it a strong mid-range device for users who prioritize battery life, performance, and a large screen for entertainment.
The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite comes with a 6.72-inch display, a Dimensity 7400 Apex chipset, and a 7,000mAh battery. While positioned as the more affordable model, it still offers a sizable battery and a large display, which could make it attractive to users who want reliable all-day performance at a lower price.
In India, the OnePlus Nord CE6 starts at INR 29,999, while the Nord CE6 Lite starts at INR 20,999. If the OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro are indeed based on these models, the Chinese versions may launch with competitive pricing to strengthen OnePlus’ position in the affordable smartphone segment.
For now, OnePlus has not officially confirmed the Turbo 6X series, so the details should be treated as early information. Still, the rumored combination of high-refresh-rate displays, large batteries, and mid-range chipsets could make the OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro interesting options for buyers looking for value-focused Android phones.
In related OnePlus news, leaks have also started revealing early details about the next-generation OnePlus 16, including information about its display and camera setup. This suggests that OnePlus may be preparing a busy product cycle across both its flagship and budget smartphone categories.
