OnePlus Nord 6 is the latest smartphone to be hit with a price hike. The smartphone launched in India in April as the brand’s premium mid-range offering. It’s now costlier by up to Rs 5,000. This comes shortly after the OnePlus 15R received another price hike in India, making it costlier by Rs 7,000 since its launch. Back to the Nord 6, the new prices are already reflected on Amazon and the OnePlus India website.
OnePlus Nord 6 price hike
OnePlus Nord 6 is now priced at Rs 41,999 for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which was originally launched at Rs 38,999. The 12GB + 256GB variant has received a price hike of Rs 5,000, from Rs 41,999 to Rs 46,999. This puts the Nord 6’s base variant in a different price category altogether. It also now competes closely with the POCO X8 Pro Max and even the iQOO 15R. But the price hike seems inevitable at this point, considering the rising memory costs affecting the smartphone industry.
| Variant | Launch price | New price |
| 8GB + 256GB | Rs 38,999 | Rs 41,999 |
| 12GB + 256GB | Rs 41,999 | Rs 46,999 |

The OnePlus Nord 6 is a well-packaged smartphone, boasting specs like the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, a massive 9,000mAh battery, and up to IP69K ratings. The smartphone’s camera setup may not seem versatile enough since it lacks a telephoto lens, but they still produce natural and accurate images. The battery lasts for around two days, and performance is one of the best in the segment. The Nord 6 is still recommendable based on what it offers, but if a telephoto lens is a priority, then you may want to consider alternatives. Otherwise, for performance, endurance, and reliable photography, the Nord 6 can be considered.
