It uses the same panel found in the flagship OnePlus 15 which is quite impressive for a mid-range device. The display also supports 3,840Hz PWM dimming making it easier on the eyes during long usage sessions. On the design side the phone measures 162.5×77.5×8.5mm and weighs 217g. It is protected by Crystal Guard Glass and comes in three color options: Fresh Mint, Holographic Quick Silver and Pitch Black.
Performance
Under the hood the OnePlus Nord 6 runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset paired with the Adreno 825 GPU. It comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. For gamers this phone delivers well. OnePlus claims it can handle 165 FPS in titles like BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile and Free Fire Max. A dedicated Touch Reflex Chip handles a 3,200Hz touch sampling rate while a 6-axis gyroscope with ±4,000°/s sensitivity keeps aiming accurate.
The phone runs OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 and OnePlus is promising four major OS updates and six years of security patches.
Camera
The Nord 6 comes with a dual rear camera setup. The main shooter is a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with dual-axis OIS and EIS, an f/1.8 aperture and PDAF.
