OnePlus has pushed the limits of battery tech once again. Unveiled in China on Thursday (Jan 8, 2026), the new OnePlus Turbo 6 series is here to revolutionize how we look at battery life in smartphones.
OnePlus Turbo 6 packs 9,000mAh
Mid-range phones have never been this exciting! The new OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V deliver a breakthrough 9,000mAh battery to the mobile tech landscape, hinting at major changes in how users view battery life.
This jaw-dropping 9,000mAh battery is nearly twice as much as the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 5,000mAh battery. It’s not just the capacity that sparks curiosity, though. OnePlus has utilized its latest Glacier Battery to deliver this monstrous capacity.

Co-developed with Chinese battery maker CATL, this high-capacity bionic silicon-carbon technology delivers higher energy density (763Wh/L) in a smaller physical size. And that’s exactly what enabled OnePlus to include 9,000mAh inside the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V’s relatively thin 8.5mm body that weighs just 217 grams!

According to OnePlus, the Turbo 6 can last up to 10 hours of heavy use, which easily translates to over two days of light to moderate use. Beyond that, the mid-range lineup supports 80W wired charging speeds and 27W reverse charging. This ensures not only quick-charging capabilities, less heat, and longer battery health.

OnePlus has positioned its latest lineup as a "performance king" in the mid-range segment. Pricing reflects this idea: the Turbo 6 costs 2,099 CNY (approximately $300), while the Turbo 6V is priced at 1,899 CNY (about $270).
This combination of affordability and high-end features makes this lineup one of the most compelling options in the Chinese market right now.
Global release? Here's hoping!

Although little is known about the OnePlus Nord 6, details from the TÜV listing (via The Tech Outlook) suggest the device will come with 80W charging and the same 9,000mAh battery. As of January 9, there's no information about the smartphone's release date.
A whole new era might be approaching
Clearly, we have entered the era of monstrous battery capacity and multi-day use. Beyond the obvious advantages of ditching nightly "wall-hugging", to me, this suggests a possible end to power banks. The crucial detail here is that the OnePlus Turbo 6 doesn't just pack a huge 9,000mAh battery: the devices are also sleek enough for a daily driver.
If industry titans like Apple and Samsung finally adopt this high-density silicon-carbon tech (or develop their own), the power bank as we know it today might just become a thing of the past.
