New information has surfaced, giving OnePlus fans more details on the upcoming OnePlus Nord 6. Yes, by the looks of it, this phone’s release is on track, even though earlier rumors suggested it might get delayed.

Geekbench listing reveals the muscle inside

Geekbench listing throws light on the OnePlus Nord 6 processor

The global version of the recently released OnePlus Turbo 6 series packs a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (codenamed ‘sun’) processor, according to a Geekbench listing. The device (model CPH2795) has achieved a single-core performance of 2,019, while its multi-score sits significantly high at 6,503.

Compared to the brand’s latest mid-ranger, whose single and multi-core performance is available in our OnePlus 15R review, the upcoming Nord 6 doesn’t fall dramatically behind. The 15R has a 2,604 single-core score, with multi-core numbers hitting 6,802.

The listing also reveals the upcoming mid-range device will run on OxygenOS 16, based on Android 16. Memory details have also been released: 10.93GB. This will likely be marketed as 12GB RAM, in line with OnePlus’ recent releases.

Given the performance insights and the OS version, it’s more than safe to assume that this mid-ranger will actually compete with some higher-end options rather well.

In case you missed it, OnePlus released the Turbo 6 in China earlier in January, highlighting a massive 9,000mAh battery under the hood. It’s believed that the global rebrand, labelled the Nord 6, will arrive with the same battery. However, nothing is set in stone yet.

What we do know on the battery front (thanks to ICEE and TDRA certifications) is that it’ll support 80W charging.

Bound for success?

Additional details posted via Gadgetsdata on X reveal other expected specs that certainly look exciting. The highlights include a 165Hz display and a 50MP main camera.

Would you buy the OnePlus Nord 6?

Given these spec leaks, I just might. Only if it doesn't cost way too much. I don't think it'll get released soon, so I'm out. I'm sticking with a high-end phone.

According to Samprix, the Nord 6 will be priced at ₹34,999, which equates to roughly $382. It’s rumored to arrive on the global scene in the first quarter of 2026, and the Geekbench listing suggests this is very likely.

A fresh take on things

In an era where brands are getting more and more focused on AI tricks, OnePlus seems to be taking a different approach. It focuses on what matters for the average user: long battery life, good performance, all within a reasonable price.

For one thing, I’m certainly hoping the OnePlus Nord 6 gets to see the light of day soon because it sounds like a pretty value-packed option.
