OnePlus has finally launched the N6x, which sits below the N6 from earlier this year. It retains many of the specifications of the N6 while costing a little less for the same configuration, which could make the trade-offs worthwhile for some people.

The OnePlus N6x is positioned as an absolute entry-level device with an IPS LCD display and a starting configuration of 4GB+64GB.

The good news is that it still uses the Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset, the same one found in the OnePlus N6. That means you shouldn’t notice any difference in raw performance. As for heat dissipation, the company claims it features the segment’s largest vapor chamber, with an area of 5,300 mm².

Just like the N6, the display has a 720p resolution. However, the typical and peak brightness numbers are a little lower: 700 nits typical, down from 975 on the N6, and 900 nits in HBM mode, down from 1,200. It still refreshes at 120 Hz, so lightweight tasks like scrolling through settings, social media, or the app drawer should feel smooth.

The battery capacity is about what you would expect in this price range in 2026. It’s 7,000 mAh, which is 1,000 mAh smaller than the OnePlus N6. The bigger compromise is charging speed. While the N6 supports 45 W wired charging, the N6x is limited to 15 W. If you’ve gotten used to fast charging and often rely on a quick 20–30% top-up before heading out, 15 W charging will take some getting used to.

Of course, OnePlus is highlighting the upside of the larger battery. The company claims up to 2.5 days of battery life on a single charge.

The camera setup is fairly simple: a 13MP main sensor paired with a 5MP selfie camera. For comparison, the N6 features a higher-resolution 50MP main camera and an 8MP selfie camera.

Price and availability:

The N6x comes in two color options: Burgundy Red and Ice Blue. It will go on sale in India on August 4, 2026.

It comes in two configurations: the 4GB + 64GB variant is priced at ₹18,999, while the 4GB + 128GB variant costs ₹20,999. For comparison, the 4GB + 128GB variant of the N6 is currently priced at ₹22,999 on Amazon.

The post OnePlus N6x launched in India with Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset, 7000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

The affordable OnePlus N6x is locked in for an India launch on July 31, and the company has finally confirmed one of the most important specs: a 7,000mAh battery.

Earlier, OnePlus only said it could last up to 2.5 days without sharing the exact capacity. Now we know it’s 1,000mAh smaller than the 8,000mAh cell in the N6, but still very competitive in the endurance game.

A promotional page on Amazon India breaks down the claimed numbers on a full charge:

• About 20.56 hours of video playback
• 133.56 hours of music playback
• 25.04 hours of social media scrolling
• 11.26 hours of video recording

These real-world estimates matter more than just the mAh number.

Charging speed is still a mystery. The N6 supports 45W, so most people expect the N6x to land somewhere close to that. We’ll have to wait for the official reveal to know for sure.

One of the biggest differences between the N6 and N6x is the design. The more affordable model gets a pill-shaped camera island, a notable departure from the rounded-square module on the N6. The front also sees a change. While OnePlus has largely focused on showcasing the rear design of the N6x, one image on the Amazon microsite reveals a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera, unlike the hole-punch cutout used on the N6.

The design changes appear to be aimed at giving the two phones distinct identities, allowing them to target different price segments without looking too similar. The bezels, however, do not appear to differ significantly between the two models.

Color options for the N6x include light blue and burgundy. The slightly smaller battery compared to the N6 could mean a thinner design, better component balance, or simply cost savings, while still offering multi-day battery life in real-world use.

The post OnePlus N6x teaser confirms battery, front design appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming OnePlus N6x is getting some early attention with fresh teasers that show off a fresh design direction for the N-series. After last week’s initial announcement focused on India, OnePlus has now shared additional images revealing the phone’s complete rear design and confirmed that it will launch on July 31. The design matches the earlier teasers, and the device will be available in a light blue and a deep burgundy finish, both of which look stylish.

The N6x is going for a modern, flat-edge design with sharp, right-angled sides and a clean flat back. This gives it a more structured, premium-inspired feel.

The biggest highlight is the pill-shaped vertical camera module positioned in the top-left corner. It’s a clear shift away from the square camera island on the recently launched N6. The LED flash sits outside the camera module. It also retains the 3.5mm jack from the N6, one of the simplest yet most practical features for budget-conscious buyers.

OnePlus is also playing around with the fun slogan “Beyond what you x-pect”* in their promos. It’s a cute play on words that hints at some surprise features or extra value in a phone that’s supposed to be affordable.

The N-series is about making OnePlus phones more accessible, and the N6x seems to continue that while adding more personality. It’s separate from the Nord lineup, focusing on delivering solid everyday phones that don’t cost a fortune.

With flat frames and this refreshed camera design, OnePlus is clearly trying to give the N6x a distinct identity from the N6. Competition is tough, but these early visuals suggest they’re paying attention to the little details that can make a phone feel special.

We still don’t have full specs on the processor, battery, cameras, or display. Those details should be revealed in the coming days. Until then, the confirmed launch date gives us a clear timeline for when the remaining hardware details will be unveiled.

The post OnePlus N6x teaser confirms July 31 launch date, reveals major design shift from the N6 appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus isn’t wasting any time expanding its new ultra-budget N series in India. Just a few weeks after launching the N6, the company has already teased the upcoming N6x through a dedicated Amazon microsite, hinting at another affordable phone aimed at buyers who want solid everyday performance without spending much.

The N6 launched on June 30, 2026, as OnePlus’s first real step into the more accessible segment below the Nord series. It starts at around ₹22,999 for the 4GB + 128GB version. What impressed people most was its massive 8,000mAh battery with 45W charging, a big 6.75-inch 720p LCD with 120Hz refresh rate, the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset, and a simple 50MP main camera. No ultra-wide, but it delivers great battery life and smooth basics in the highly competitive sub-₹25,000 range.

Right now, details on the N6x are still pretty thin. The Amazon India page only says “Coming Soon,” with no specs, design images, pricing, or launch date revealed yet. Tipster Yogesh Brar mentioned that it will have “familiar” specifications, which could mean it’s a slightly tweaked version of the N6 or shares parts with other phones in the OPPO/Realme family to keep the price down.

Since it’s positioned as a step below the N6, we can expect more cost-cutting while keeping the things that matter. That probably means a slightly weaker chipset, possibly the same big battery (or one that’s just a bit smaller), and the same 720p screen. The simple 50MP camera setup is likely to stay as well.

This quick back-to-back release shows OnePlus is serious about fighting hard in India’s entry-level market, where several smartphone brands are battling on value.

Interestingly, a separate report also claims OnePlus is preparing to launch a new 4G-only phone in India. According to a seasoned industry insider, the company wants to strip out the more expensive 5G components to offset rising memory chip costs and bring the price under ₹16,000. While it’s not confirmed whether this 4G model is the N6x or a different device, it wouldn’t be surprising given the N6’s aggressive pricing and the heavy focus on keeping costs low.
