OnePlus N6 Lite launched in India with a 7000 mAh battery for ₹17,000

The OnePlus N6 Lite smartphone has entered the Indian market. The company has set the starting price of the device at ₹16,999. The main advantage of the model is its 7000 mAh battery, as well as the presence of a 120Hz refresh rate display and artificial intelligence features, along with military-grade protection.

Despite its affordable cost, OnePlus has made some compromises. This model is the most budget-friendly in the N6 lineup. At a price of ₹16,999, the user gets a large 7000 mAh battery and a 120Hz display. OnePlus developed the N6 Lite considering the demands of consumers in the ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 segment who prefer phones with large batteries, large screens, and long battery life.

OnePlus N6 Lite Price in India

In India, the OnePlus N6 Lite is available for ₹16,999. The phone is released in one configuration: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It can be purchased in Midnight Hype and Neo Green colors on Amazon India, the official OnePlus website, and in certain offline stores.

7000 mAh Battery

The main attractive feature of the OnePlus N6 Lite is its 7000 mAh battery. The manufacturer claims that one full charge will allow the phone to last up to three days. According to the company's test data, video playback can last up to 26.8 hours, Google Maps navigation for about 29.9 hours, and talk time up to 49.7 hours. It should be noted that the actual battery life may differ from these figures.

The phone is equipped with reverse charging functionality, allowing other devices to be powered via cable. OnePlus states that the battery is designed for long-term use, offering a six-year battery health maintenance warranty, as well as obsolescence protection (36-month fluency protection). It is important to note that this refers to testing and manufacturer warranties, not three years of Android updates.

Large 120Hz Screen, but Not AMOLED

The device features a 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This provides a smoother feel during scrolling and general use compared to 60Hz screens. The screen brightness reaches 900 nits, and the phone supports Aqua Touch technology, which simplifies interaction with the touchscreen even when wet.

However, there is a significant compromise here: while some phones in the approximately ₹17,000 price category may offer more advanced display technologies, the N6 Lite uses an HD+ LCD panel. Therefore, it is incorrect to rely solely on the 120Hz refresh rate to assess the premium nature of the screen.

Camera Did Not Receive Much Attention in OnePlus

The rear of the OnePlus N6 Lite features a 13MP main module, with no ultrawide lens. A 5MP front camera is provided for selfies, and video recording is limited to Full HD resolution. Thus, the company focused its efforts on the battery and large screen, making the device attractive to users for whom long battery life is critical, but less interesting for those who prioritize the camera.

4G Support Instead of 5G

The OnePlus N6 Lite is a 4G smartphone running on the Unisoc T7250 processor. It is equipped with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage, with the possibility of expanding storage. Unlike many competitors in this price category that aim to provide 5G connectivity, the N6 Lite focuses on 4G. This makes it more suitable for users who do not require 5G and are looking for a reliable daily device with a large battery.

Return of 3.5mm Headphone Jack

The OnePlus N6 Lite restores the 3.5mm headphone jack, which has disappeared from many modern smartphones. Additionally, the device has a USB Type-C port, Wi-Fi 5 support, and Bluetooth 5.2. It also integrates a side fingerprint scanner. The phone has received IP64 and MIL-STD-810H certifications, indicating its resistance to dust and water splashes.

OnePlus 16 design revealed with potential 9000mAh battery and other features ahead of India launch

Previously, information about the OnePlus 16 was only available through leaks and teasers; however, the company has now unveiled photos of the device and color options. This indicates a gradual release of information regarding OnePlus's next flagship phone. Judging by the design, the company has paid significant attention not only to performance but also to aesthetics.

The OnePlus 16 will be available in three color variants. The StarLite option is particularly noteworthy, featuring a unique StarLite effect on the back panel. According to the company, this finish uses a silky glass material, which minimizes fingerprints on the body. Currently, the phone is available for pre-order in China.

Potential for up to 1TB storage in OnePlus 16

One of the main attractive features of the OnePlus 16 is the option for up to 1TB of storage. According to pre-order data, the phone will be available in configurations with 256GB and 512GB memory with 12GB of RAM. Additionally, there are options with 512GB and 1TB with 16GB of RAM. This could be a significant improvement for users whose storage quickly fills up with photos, videos, and games.

The phone's design does not drastically differ from previous OnePlus flagships. A square camera module containing three lenses and a flash is located on the upper left part of the rear panel. However, thanks to the new colors and finishes, the device gains a more modern look.

165Hz Display

The display of the OnePlus 16 is of particular interest. The company has confirmed the presence of a 165Hz refresh rate. Notably, this high refresh rate will operate at the system level, not just in game mode, as was the case with the previous OnePlus 15, where its use was limited to gaming. Reports suggest that during games, the refresh rate may reach 185Hz, although this is not yet an official specification.

Advantages of such a screen include smoother content scrolling and a more dynamic feeling of motion in games. Nevertheless, for the average user, the difference between 120Hz and 165Hz may not be as obvious in every situation; it will be most beneficial in high-frequency games.

Possibility of installing a 9000mAh battery

The biggest leak concerning the OnePlus 16 relates to its battery. According to available data, the phone may be equipped with a 9000mAh battery, which, if true, would make it one of the largest among modern premium smartphones. Support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging is also reported. 100W charging support has already appeared in 3C certification. It should be noted that the OnePlus 15 had a 7300mAh battery, and the company offered 120W charging and 50W wireless charging.

Significant Camera Upgrade to 200MP

The OnePlus 16 camera may also receive a major upgrade. Rumor has it that the main module may have a 200MP resolution, and ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras of 50MP will also be available. The main sensor is expected to have a 1/1.4-inch size, which means not only an increase in megapixels but also an increase in the sensor size itself. However, the true quality of the camera will only be known after the official launch and real-world testing.

New Flagship Chipset Inside

To ensure high performance in the OnePlus 16, the next flagship chipset from Qualcomm is expected to be installed. Various reports name it the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro or Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
