OnePlus has officially revealed the battery specifications for its upcoming Turbo 6 series ahead of the expected launch in China, confirming that both the OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V will feature massive 9,000 mAh batteries—the largest ever in any OnePlus smartphone to date. This marks a significant upgrade over the previous record holder, the OnePlus Ace 6T, which had an 8,300mAh cell. The announcement, made via a Weibo post on December 30, 2025, underscores OnePlus's focus on delivering exceptional battery endurance in the mid-to-premium segment, addressing user demands for all-day and multi-day usage without frequent charging.
According to OnePlus, the standard Turbo 6 delivers over 10 hours of active screen-on time on a single charge, with independent battery endurance tests conducted by New Review Technology (translated from Chinese) ranking it first among tested models. The phone achieved 10 hours and 37 minutes of continuous usage in the standardized evaluation, securing the top spot on OnePlus's internal long-range battery testing leaderboard. Under ultra-high intensity scenarios, the device is claimed to last nearly nine hours, while moderate daily usage could extend battery life to 1–2 full days, making it one of the most enduring smartphones in its class.
The Turbo 6 series is positioned as a performance-oriented lineup, with the standard model teased to include a 1.5K resolution display with a smooth 165 Hz refresh rate, a plastic frame, and an impressive IP68 + IP69 + IP69K dust and water resistance rating. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, and an Adreno 825 GPU, running on the latest Android 16-based OxygenOS 16. OnePlus has also confirmed that the handset will be available in three distinct colorways, adding to its visual appeal.

The Turbo 6V, meanwhile, is expected to share many core features with its sibling but will likely feature a slightly different configuration, including a 6.8-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the less powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. Both models are anticipated to prioritize battery life as a key selling point, leveraging large-capacity cells combined with efficient chipsets and software optimizations. The series is expected to debut in China in the coming weeks, with potential availability in global markets under different branding in the near future.
As competition intensifies in the mid-range and upper-mid-range smartphone segment, the 9,000mAh battery announcement positions the OnePlus Turbo 6 series as a strong contender for users who prioritize longevity over frequent charging. With detailed specifications and real-world endurance claims now public, anticipation is building for the full launch event, where pricing, camera details, and additional features are likely to be unveiled. The focus on battery supremacy continues OnePlus's strategy of differentiating its devices through standout hardware capabilities in an increasingly crowded market.
