The upcoming OnePlus Turbo has made an appearance in leaked live images, just days after OnePlus confirmed the new series. While the company hasn’t officially announced any device from the lineup, these fresh shots give us the first clear look at what the brand’s next affordable phone could be.
OnePlus Turbo shows up ahead of launch
The leak comes before OnePlus has said anything public about the hardware. But based on the images, the Turbo phone features a flat front display with nearly uniform bezels. It’s rumored to be a 6.8-inch screen with a fast 144Hz refresh rate and a “1.5K” resolution positioning it just a step under flagship territory.
From the back, the phone sports a dual-camera island with design cues similar to the OnePlus 15R. Meanwhile, the side profile reveals a solid metal frame and what appears to be an IR blaster a rare sight these days.
Tesla places the Cybertruck’s giant monowiper under investigation as real-world performance fails. A full redesign or total removal may be next.
OnePlus Turbo includes fast specs at a mid-range price
Beyond design, a few key specs have surfaced. The OnePlus Turbo is said to run on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, a mid-tier processor likely to offer a good mix of performance and efficiency. It’s expected to pair with 8 GB of RAM and either 128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage.
Here’s what the current leaks suggest:
- 6.8-inch display, 144Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution
- Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip
- 8 GB RAM, up to 256 GB storage
- Dual rear cameras with 50 MP main sensor
- 32 MP front camera
- 9,000 mAh battery
- 80W fast charging support
- WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4
- IR blaster
Big battery gives the OnePlus Turbo an edge
What really stands out is the battery. If the leak holds true, the OnePlus Turbo will pack a massive 9,000 mAh cell far larger than most phones in its price class. Combined with 80W fast charging, it could be a strong selling point for users tired of plugging in every night.
OnePlus Turbo could launch under a different name
There’s speculation the Turbo won’t be called that everywhere. In markets outside China, the phone might ship under the Nord branding possibly as the Nord CE 6. That would align with OnePlus’ pattern of branding reworks between regions.
Either way, the phone already looks like it has the basics right: clean design, fast screen, oversized battery, and a mid-range chip that won’t choke under pressure. OnePlus hasn’t said when it’s launching, but after this leak, the clock is ticking.
