OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro Debut with Massive Batteries, 144Hz Displays, and Rugged Durability
The new OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro have been released in China as part of OnePlus’ expanding Turbo range of smartphones. The new models have been designed to offer users long-lasting battery life, high refresh rate screens, advanced MediaTek chipsets, and improved durability. While the OnePlus Turbo 6X has been launched for users looking for a good all-round smartphone without breaking the bank, the Turbo 6X Pro model offers better features like an OLED display screen, bigger battery capacity, advanced camera functionality, and superior protection from water and dust. Despite no official information about its global launch, OnePlus fans have shown excitement about the launch, particularly those in India where Turbo models have been renamed Nord.
Displays and Design: Smooth 144Hz Displays and High-end Build Quality
The OnePlus Turbo 6X series of devices prioritizes their displays and overall experience. The regular Turbo 6X comes with a 6.72-inch full-HD+ LCD screen that has a 144Hz refresh rate for a seamless experience when scrolling, playing games, and watching videos. This display has a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits which makes it easier to see what you are doing on it even when in bright outdoor light. OnePlus has equipped this device with hardware-level DC Dimming to minimize screen flickering which improves overall viewing comfort while using the phone. The highlight of this screen includes the fact that it supports wet touch, thus making the display functional even if your hands are sweaty, greasy, or if you have on protective gloves.
The higher-end Turbo 6X Pro comes with a bigger 6.78-inch display from Samsung, AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution, and the same 144Hz refresh rate. One of the best aspects of this screen is its maximum brightness of 6,500 nits.
Performance and Software: Dimensity SUPER Chipsets Power the Turbo Series
The Dimensity SUPER chipsets in the Turbo Series of smartphones from OnePlus provide performance and software support alike.
MediaTek’s new 4nm Dimensity SUPER processors power the OnePlus Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro smartphones, ensuring high-performance outputs be experienced during daily multitasking, gaming and entertainment. With the Dimensity 7360 SUPER chipset, the Turbo 6X delivers smooth app performance as well as improved power efficiency and reliable connectivity. In addition, ample amounts of both RAM and storage configuration allow for a great performing device within its market segment.
The Turbo 6X Pro takes performance at an even higher level with its more powerful Dimensity 7400 SUPER chipset. The Super 7400 CHIPSET is built to handle the workload of heavy-frame rate gaming, heavy-duty multitasking and artificial intelligence-based applications. The Pro also has a 360 degree surrounding antenna system, providing better network connectivity and a more secure connection to the internet. Both the Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro have been preloaded with ColorOS 16, a rich OS that features a number of customization, security and performance enhancing applications. Considering that OnePlus has now optimized the performance of the Turbo 6X Pro for full functionality for up to 6-years, the Pro version is a great option for anyone looking for reliable long-term use.
Camera, Battery, and Charging: More Emphasis Is Placed on Larger Batteries
Cameras on Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro devices have been designed to suit different categories of customers. Turbo 6X comes equipped with a 50 megapixels primary camera and a 2 megapixels secondary camera used to collect depth data for portraits. There is also an 8 megapixels front-facing camera used for video conferencing and social media pictures. Although the cameras have not been designed specifically for photography purposes, the device can be used to capture quality images in varied lighting environments.
In the Turbo 6X Pro model, users will enjoy the convenience of versatile photography and imaging services. The device has been fitted with a 50 megapixels primary camera with Optical Image Stabilisation feature for steady photos and videos. It also has a 8 megapixels ultra-wide camera that facilitates wide-angle photos and a 16 megapixels front camera for sharp selfies.
Another great feature of both phones is their battery capacity. For example, the Turbo 6X phone is equipped with an impressive battery that has a capacity of 7,000mAh and fast charging up to 45W. Meanwhile, the Pro variant boasts an incredible battery capacity of 8,000mAh and an 80W fast charger.
Pricing, Durability and India Launch Expectation
OnePlus has set up the Turbo 6X line-up as a collection of phones packed with features which provide high value for money. The pricing of the Turbo 6X starts from 1,899 yuan for its 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model, but there are several more advanced models with more RAM and bigger storage capacity options. The Turbo 6X Pro version is priced starting from 1,999 yuan, which makes its features very affordable due to the superior screen, camera, battery capacity and durability.
Durability is yet another point where the two phones have notable differences. The Turbo 6X includes an IP64 protection rating and has a fingerprint reader on the side. The Turbo 6X Pro phone offers flagship-level protection from the dust and water with IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K certification, being able to survive dust, being fully immersed in water and even exposed to powerful streams of water. Multiple military-grade certifications prove the phone’s sturdy construction. Moreover, the turbo 6X Pro uses the in-display fingerprint scanner for unlocking.
While there is no official information about future release schedule of the phones globally, the previous Turbo models became the Nord-branded versions available in India.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro takes OnePlus further than ever before in terms of battery efficiency, display quality, and durability for mid-range smartphones. These devices are designed to provide a good combination of high refresh rates displays, powerful MediaTek chipsets, impressive camera modules, and batteries with some of the best capacity numbers in the business. While the Turbo 6X makes for an excellent product for its price point, the Turbo 6X Pro brings along with it a higher level of features. These smartphones will make formidable competitors if ever released in India with the Nord name tag.
