The Nord series is extremely popular in India, so OnePlus will likely launch the same phone in India under the Nord branding for marketing purposes.

The design of the OnePlus Turbo 6 sees some major changes compared to the previous model. In particular, the design of the camera module is completely new.

The previous Nord series usually featured vertical camera modules, but the new phone uses a square camera module, which looks a bit like an Oppo-style design.

OnePlus Turbo 6 or Nord 6 is going to be a different smartphone. Where other phones are focusing more on the camera or design, OnePlus has focused on the battery and performance in this phone.

Huge battery, powerful processor and high-refresh rate display—on the other hand, some downgrades in the camera. Maybe when the phone comes to India. I’m not sure. Maybe then OnePlus will come with the opposite angle lens. There is nothing to fill in. There are many things to miss. The focus is on a single design payoff.

9000 mAh battery, Snapdragon 8-series processor and 165Hz AMOLED display—these three features can make the phone a great option for performance-focused users.

However, the downgrade in the camera department may be disappointing for many. If OnePlus launches the phone in India with a good price and some camera optimizations, it could become one of the most popular phones in the mid-range segment.
