After weeks of teasers, OnePlus has officially announced the OnePlus Nord CE 6 and Nord CE 6 Lite in India. Both are sub-Rs 30,000 phones, with some genuinely impressive specs for the price.
OnePlus Nord CE 6
The Nord CE 6 is the more premium of the two, starting at ₹29,999. It sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate that can peak at a blinding 3,600 nits of brightness.
Under the hood sits a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, and OnePlus has even borrowed the Touch Reflex chip from its flagship OnePlus 15 to deliver ultra-responsive 3,200Hz touch sampling during gaming sessions.
It runs on Android 16-based OxygenOS 16 out of the box. And the phone also brings stereo speakers, unlike last year’s Nord CE 5.
It is powered by a massive 8,000mAh cell paired with 80W fast charging. It can even reverse-charge other devices at up to 27W. The phone also carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings alongside MIL-STD-810H certification.
OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite
The Nord CE 6 Lite, starting at Rs 20,999, is relatively more modest. It uses a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD panel — also with 144Hz — and runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 Apex chip.
Its 7,000mAh battery supports 45W charging and a handy bypass charging mode that routes power directly to the motherboard to reduce long-term battery wear. Cameras are simpler here: a 50MP rear shooter and an 8MP selfie camera, both capable of 4K video on the rear.
Both phones are available through Amazon, the OnePlus Store app, and physical OnePlus Experience Stores. The Nord CE 6 goes on sale May 7th with a Rs 2,000 early-bird bank discount, while the Lite follows on May 12th with similar card-based offers.
