New OnePlus N6x teased to launch soon, specs could be identical to N6

OnePlus barely let the N6 finish its first month on shelves before teasing the next one. If the leaks are right, this new phone is going to look a whole lot like the one they have already released.

OnePlus has confirmed a new phone within the N6 series called the N6x. It is coming exclusively to the Indian market through a dedicated Amazon microsite. The teaser reveals no launch date, price, or specs. However, the tipster says the N6x will arrive with “familiar” hardware borrowed from the OnePlus N6, which launched on June 30 with a Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset, a 6.8-inch 120Hz display, and a massive 8,000mAh battery.

Take everything below with a grain of salt, because OnePlus hasn’t confirmed a single spec yet. Everything here comes from leaks and industry tipsters, not the company itself. The company has simply teased the model number.

What we actually know about the N6x

OnePlus confirmed the name and Amazon-exclusive availability through the microsite alone. That’s it from the company directly. A tipster has claimed the phone will share familiar hardware with the N6, which is industry code for a near-identical spec sheet at a lower price.

There are, however, no words on design, color options, or launch date yet.

Could the N6x really match the N6’s specs?

Early leak reports point to a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness, almost identical to the N6’s screen. Reports also suggest the same 8,000mAh battery and 45W SUPERVOOC charging, plus a MediaTek Dimensity 6000 series chip that could be the same Dimensity 6360 Apex already inside the N6.

If this holds up, the “x” in the name might just mean cheaper, not different.

Will it actually cost less than the N6?

The N6 itself is a budget-friendly and affordable smartphone that starts at Rs 22,999 for the base 4GB and 128GB model. Early reports suggest the N6x could land under Rs 20,000, which would make it the most affordable phone in OnePlus’s entire N series. That’s a real gap for a phone that reportedly shares most of its internals with something already on the market.

I want to believe OnePlus found a way to trim the price without gutting the phone. But saying that the device will feature familiar hardware isn’t a spec sheet, and budget phones have a habit of losing the one part you actually cared about.

Until OnePlus confirms a launch date, this is still gossip with a good source, not a done deal.
