The company has confirmed that the OnePlus Turbo 6 will launch in its home market on January 8, 2026. Earlier announcements already revealed that the upcoming device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor paired with a G1 WiFi chip. The latest teaser now highlights key screen features.

Display Details Revealed Ahead of Launch

According to OnePlus, the Turbo 6 will feature a display with a 165Hz refresh rate. This places it in line with the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R, which also support the same refresh rate. The screen panel comes from BOE, a known display supplier. The company states that the higher refresh rate will support faster screen response during supported games and apps. As seen on other OnePlus models, the 165Hz setting may only activate in select use cases rather than staying active at all times.

Eye Protection Features

Reports suggest the OnePlus Turbo 6 may feature a 6.78-inch display with 1.5K resolution. Industry sources also suggest that OnePlus could release the same device outside China under the OnePlus Nord 6 name. The company has not yet confirmed global launch plans.
