OnePlus Nord CE 6 to feature 50MP main camera with 4K video recording support
The OnePlus Nord CE 6 is confirmed to have a 50MP primary camera with dual-axis OIS support. With OIS support on board, it should assist users in capturing sharp and detailed photos, especially in low-light conditions. Although OnePlus hasn’t revealed the exact sensor, the Nord CE 5 featured a 50MP LYT600 primary camera with a 1/2-inch sensor, a solid offering at the Rs 25,000 price point.
Another key highlight of the cameras comes in the form of 4K video recording support. The Nord CE 6 is all set to gain 4K video recording support on both the primary and front camera, opening doors to detailed video footage for posting online or creating Reels or Shorts.

Speaking of which, the front camera will house a 32MP sensor with autofocus support. For context, both higher-priced OnePlus Nord 6 and OnePlus 15R also gain a 32MP front shooter with autofocus, indicating that OnePlus isn’t holding back on offering high-end aspects at accessible price points.
OnePlus Nord CE 6 to flaunt Android 16-based OxygenOS 16
As expected, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 will run on the company’s propriatery custom skin, OxygenOS 16. Based on Android 16, apart from the general lockscreen and homescreen customisation options through Flux themes, the software will carry AI-powered editing tools such as AI Portrait Glow, AI Perfect Shot, AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, AI Detail Boost, and AI Reframe. All these features combined should deliver a comprehensive experience and significantly improve the images captured with the Nord CE 6.
The standard Google AI suite will also be on offer, including Circle to Search and Gemini Live, assisting users in instantly looking up for information at a glance. Apart from that, some new features that have debuted on OxygenOS 16 as of late will also be present on the device, such as an improved built-in video and music editing tool.
In a positive move, OnePlus is adding back dual stereo speakers on the Nord CE 6, which were omitted on last year’s Nord CE 5. Assisted by 300 percent Ultra Volume mode, the Nord CE 6 should offer an immersive sound experience when engaging in games and movies.
What else do we know about the Nord CE 6?
The OnePlus Nord CE 6 will run on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, an upper mid-range chipset which we recently saw on a plethora of new launches, like the Vivo T5 Pro, Nothing Phone (4a), and Infinix Note 60 Pro. The chipset and the 1.5K display with 1,800 nits of peak brightness will support 144FPS gaming in specific titles for a smooth scrolling experience, especially in high-intensity games.
OnePlus has also already confirmed that the Nord CE 6 will carry a massive 8,000mAh battery, claimed to run for up to 10 hours of BGMI and up to 30 hours of YouTube. This is a noticeable upgrade over the Nord CE 5’s 7,100mAh cell, but still falls short in comparison to Vivo T5 Pro’s 9,020mAh and Realme P4 Power’s 10,001mAh batteries.
Overall, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 should present itself as a suitable offering in the upper midrange space of Rs 25,000 for those seeking a massive battery, 4K video recording support, 144FPS gaming in supported titles, and tons of AI features.
