- We now have a preview of the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V
- These are gaming phones from OnePlus launching next month
- Previous rumors of a 9,000 mAh battery have been confirmed
After the impressive OnePlus 15, OnePlus is set to launch a few gaming-focused phones under the Turbo name – and now we have an official teaser video showing what they’ll look like.
The video was posted on Chinese social media site Weibo by OnePlus (via 9to5Google) and mentions both a Turbo 6 phone and a Turbo 6V phone. It’s not yet clear what the differences are, but it could well be that one is more powerful than the other.
We can see at least four colors here – silver, black, pale green and pale blue – and given that one of the scenes shows a phone getting hit with dust and water, it looks like these Turbo handsets will feature an IP68 rating.
A few other specs are mentioned in the video: a 165Hz display, for smooth gaming action, and a 9,000mAh battery. This large battery capacity has been rumored before, and now we have confirmation from OnePlus that it’s on the way.
Coming next month
In terms of the design of these handsets, it looks like OnePlus isn’t straying too far from the sleek aesthetic of the OnePlus 15. It’s an approach that’s both simple and easy on the eyes, and it works well.
These phones were first teased earlier this month, when OnePlus said the handsets would be focused on gaming and bring with them “frighteningly strong” performance – although we haven’t heard anything about CPU or RAM specs yet.
We know that the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V will be revealed on Thursday, January 8 and will be launched in China first. As usual with OnePlus, you will have to wait a bit to find out international availability and prices.
Given that the launch date is still over a week away, we may well see more official reveals in the coming days. Considering the quality of the best gaming phones already on the market, this is a pretty bold new venture for OnePlus.
