OnePlus has introduced the N6 in India, a new budget-tier handset with a huge 8000mAh battery.
That battery rating puts the N6 in a narrow group of cheap Android phones where endurance rather than processing power is the key selling point. The cell is also double that of the iPhone 17, which sits at 3692mAh.
Charging support runs to 45W via SuperVOOC wired, and the N6 also supports 5W reverse wired charging, a feature that lets the handset function as a power bank for other devices. This remains uncommon across budget Android hardware at this tier.
Beyond standard charging, the N6 incorporates bypass charging, a feature that routes incoming power directly to the processor and display during intensive tasks rather than cycling it through the battery. This reduces heat accumulation during extended gaming sessions and helps preserve long-term cell health.
Power comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Max, a chipset paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM plus 128GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot.
The display stretches to 6.8 inches with an IPS LCD panel running at 120Hz, an HD+ resolution, and a peak local brightness of 1200 nits.
Camera hardware centres on a 50MP rear sensor with an f/1.8 aperture alongside an 8MP front-facing camera, and the N6 ships with OxygenOS 16.0 based on Android 16, backed by a commitment to two major OS updates and three years of security patches.
The N6 launches in India on 4 July through Amazon India and OnePlus India in Fresh Mint and Midnight Green, with the 4GB/128GB configuration priced at INR 22,999 (approximately £215) and the 6GB/128GB variant at INR 24,999 (around £234), while pricing and availability for the UK and other international markets have not been confirmed at this stage.
