After weeks of leaks and rumors, OnePlus has finally made things official. The company is launching a new Turbo series smartphone in China soon. OnePlus is positioning the new lineup as a “performance and battery life supernova” that will inherit the performance genes of its flagship phones.
According to the brand, the upcoming OnePlus Turbo delivers the “strongest battery life” in its segment, along with what the company calls an “unprecedented gaming experience” for its price range.
Adding to the announcement, OnePlus China President Li Jie says the Turbo series will bring several gaming-focused technologies previously limited to high-end models. These include a 165Hz ultra-high refresh rate display, the company’s Fengchi gaming kernel, and what OnePlus calls an “e-sports triple core.”
Li says these features have already been well received by professional players and hardcore gamers, and that the Turbo series will bring them to a much wider audience.
OnePlus Turbo specifications
As far as the specs are concerned, the OnePlus Turbo is said to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPS OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, an AnTuTu listing confirms the phone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It scored 2,609,327 points on the benchmark.
The phone will feature flagship-grade LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Memory option ranges from 12GB RAM with 256GB storage to a top-end 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. In China, the phone is expected to launch in Unique Black, Ocean Green, and Light Chaser Silver shades.
Fueling the phone could be a massive 9,000mAh battery with fast charging support. Other specifications include a metal middle frame and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
