OnePlus N6 India launch date, time
The OnePlus N6 is all set to launch in India on June 30th. This will mark the global debut of the smartphone, designed for the ‘young’ and ‘neo’ generations. The letter ‘N’ stands for New, Neo, and Never Off, per the company.
Fans from far and wide can watch the OnePlus N6 launch live streaming via the company’s social media channels and YouTube account. As always, we will be covering the launch live, bringing you the official OnePlus N6 price in India, sale details, and everything else.
OnePlus N6 price in India
Mum is the word on the OnePlus N6 price in India at the moment. However, if the company’s words are anything to go by, the handset could be priced anywhere between Rs 18,000 and Rs 25,000. The smartphone will target the young population in the Rs 18,000-Rs 25,000 segment, said OnePlus in its press note. The handset is expected to be offered in Black and Green colour options.
OnePlus N6 specifications
The OnePlus N6 is likely to run the OxygenOS 16 out of the box, which is optimised to deliver up to 60 months of smooth performance through software and hardware optimisations aimed at reducing slowdowns over time. Moreover, its design language will be on par with other OnePlus smartphones launched lately. Per the press renders, the OnePlus N6 will feature flat edges and a squarish camera module at the back.
Moving on, the company has officially confirmed a massive 8,000mAh battery on the smartphone, which is claimed to offer up to three days of usage on a single charge, making battery life one of its biggest highlights. The OnePlus N6 is also said to retain over 80 percent battery health even after 7 years of regular charging for longevity.
The battery will be paired with 45W SuperVooc charging, which seems to be the standard in the affordable segment. While details about the chipset remain under wraps, an alleged benchmark listing confirms a MediaTek Dimensity 6300-series chipset, aided by 6GB of RAM. The Dimensity 6300-series chipset has already debuted on a handful of smartphones, which have been capable of handling everyday tasks such as social media, messaging, video streaming, and casual gaming in our review.
Other details, such as the OnePlus N6’s cameras and display, remain under wraps.
Should you wait for the OnePlus N6?
The OnePlus N6 is shaping up to be a compelling option for buyers seeking the core OnePlus experience at an affordable price point. That said, it will enter a highly competitive segment, where it is expected to rival devices such as the Realme P4R and OPPO K13. Notably, the Realme offering also packs an 8,000mAh battery, making battery life less of a differentiator for the N6.
The OnePlus N6’s success could hinge on two factors: software optimisation and pricing. If the smartphone manages to meet both expectations, as we’ll find out in our full review, it could be a worthwhile purchase.
