OnePlus has put the Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro on sale in China following their debut last week. Both are budget-tier phones built around battery endurance — the Turbo 6X carries a 7,000mAh cell, and the Pro increases that to 8,000mAh. China pricing starts at CN¥1,499 for the base Turbo 6X; global availability has not been announced.
The Turbo 6X runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Super chip with a 6.72-inch FHD+ 144Hz LCD display. Camera hardware is a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP monochrome lens and an 8MP selfie camera. Charging is 45W, water resistance is rated to IP64, and the fingerprint scanner is side-mounted. It runs ColorOS 16.0 and is available in White Mile, Starry Black, and Treading Clouds. Storage configurations are 8GB/128GB at CN¥1,499, 8GB/256GB at CN¥1,699, and 12GB/256GB at CN¥1,999.
The Turbo 6X Pro upgrades the chipset to a Dimensity 7400 Super and swaps the LCD for a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED panel with an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. The camera system gains an 8MP ultrawide and moves the selfie camera to 16MP, while the main 50MP shooter picks up optical image stabilisation. Charging is 80W on the Pro — almost double the base model’s speed — and waterproofing is rated to IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K, meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets rather than just incidental splashes. Pro pricing is CN¥1,699, CN¥1,899, and CN¥2,199 for the same three storage tiers, in Black Horse and Orange Heart colours.
The Turbo sub-brand is OnePlus’s budget-focused line, distinct from its numbered flagship series. Unlike the flagship range, which runs OxygenOS, the Turbo phones ship with ColorOS 16.0 — OPPO’s Android skin, which makes sense given that OnePlus and OPPO share parent company BBK Electronics. The Turbo 6X is positioned around battery life and budget mobile gaming as much as it is around everyday endurance, with the 144Hz display refresh rates on both models giving the gaming angle some practical backing.
The mid-range segment in China has been moving toward larger batteries as a headline spec, with brands regularly shipping cells above 6,000mAh in the CN¥1,500–2,000 price range. The Turbo 6X Pro’s 8,000mAh cell sits at the upper end of that trend for this tier. The 80W charging speed on the Pro means the large battery does not require hours at a charger to refill — a constraint that has historically undermined the appeal of very large cells in day-to-day use.
OnePlus has historically brought Turbo-line phones to India and select South/Southeast Asian markets after a China-first launch, though not always with the same configurations available domestically. No international launch date for either model has been confirmed.
One trade-off worth flagging for buyers choosing between the two models: the Turbo 6X uses an LCD panel while the Pro uses AMOLED. LCD panels consume more power at equivalent brightness and lack the individual pixel control that AMOLED provides for dark-theme battery savings. At 144Hz, both screens deliver smooth scrolling, but the Pro’s AMOLED advantage in power efficiency means the real-world gap between a 7,000mAh LCD phone and an 8,000mAh AMOLED phone may be smaller than the raw capacity numbers suggest.
