The OnePlus Nord 6 launches in India at 7 PM IST today, and has a lot of confirmed features that are better than most phones in its price range. OnePlus has already said it will have a 1.5K AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate (meaning things look incredibly smooth), a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, and a 9,000 mAh battery. This tells you how to see the livestream, the complete details about the phone, and how much it will probably cost in India.
How to watch the Nord 6 launch livestream
The livestream starts at 7 PM Indian Standard Time today. If you want to see the phone revealed, go to the official OnePlus YouTube channel, or the OnePlus website, because the livestream will be on both.
Livestreams usually start a few minutes before the time they say they will, so join a little early to see some things about the phone and previews. On those websites, you’ll be able to get updates as they happen, or watch the livestream again later.
Expected India price and availability details
People are saying the OnePlus Nord 6 will cost between 35,000 and 40,000 rupees. That’s cheaper than OnePlus’s more expensive mid-range phones, but it will still have many of the best features of their top-end phones.
You should be able to buy it from April 9th at 12 PM Indian Standard Time from online stores, the OnePlus website, and regular stores and OnePlus experience stores. It will be available in Fresh Mint, Holographic Quick Silver, and Pitch Black.
Full specifications: display, performance, and battery
The Nord 6 has a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate for very smooth movement on the screen when you’re scrolling or playing games. OnePlus says it can get as bright as 3,600 nits, has PWM dimming, and Aqua Touch (so it works even if your fingers are wet).
Inside the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 1 processor, made with a 4nm process, and has up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. It’s designed for high frame rate gaming and is said to handle games at up to 165 frames per second (if the game supports that).
The battery is a big deal: a 9,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery should last most people for more than a day. The phone can charge quickly at 80W, has reverse charging, and bypass charging which makes the phone use power more efficiently when you are gaming for a long time.
Camera system, design, and durability
The Nord 6 doesn’t try to do too much with its cameras. It has a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (to stop pictures from being blurry) and a 2x zoom, plus an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The front camera is 32MP with autofocus (to make sure your selfies and video calls are clear).
The look of the phone is similar to OnePlus’s more expensive phones, with a rounded-square camera on the back and smooth edges. Holographic Quick Silver has a shiny border, and Fresh Mint and Pitch Black complete the colors.
OnePlus has said it’s made the phone to last, and it has several ratings for resistance to dust and water, and it’s been tested to survive drops like the military tests. OnePlus also says it will provide software updates for a long time and will guarantee the screen for the entire life of the phone.
What to watch for during the launch
During the launch event, OnePlus will probably talk a lot about the screen and the battery as the best things about the phone. Look for the actual performance results, game demonstrations, and how long the 9,000 mAh battery lasts in real life.
The price and the different versions of the phone will be most important for people deciding whether to buy this or another mid-range or upper mid-range phone. Watch the livestream to find out the final details about the phone, the confirmed price, and when it goes on sale in India.
