OnePlus Turbo 6X Is Launching Before June 18 – Priced just under $150

A sub-$150 phone with a 7,000mAh battery. That number used to belong exclusively to devices twice this price.

Summary

• a]:text-primary dark:[&>a]:text-white [&>a]:underline md:text-lg text-base”>A OnePlus executive confirmed in a social media comment that the Turbo 6X will launch in China before June 18, 2026 — teasers are already underway, with full pricing and availability details expected within days.
• a]:text-primary dark:[&>a]:text-white [&>a]:underline md:text-lg text-base”>The standard Turbo 6X will feature a 6.72-inch Full HD+ LCD at 144Hz, MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, 50MP OV50D main camera, 2MP secondary, 8MP front camera, and a 7,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging.
• a]:text-primary dark:[&>a]:text-white [&>a]:underline md:text-lg text-base”>The Turbo 6X Pro steps up to a 1.5K LTPS OLED display, an 8,000mAh battery, and an IP69X water resistance rating — a significant durability upgrade over the base model’s IP64.
• a]:text-primary dark:[&>a]:text-white [&>a]:underline md:text-lg text-base”>Both models are targeted at the 1,000 yuan segment (~$140), making the 7,000mAh standard model and 8,000mAh Pro some of the most battery-dense phones available at this price point in 2026.
• a]:text-primary dark:[&>a]:text-white [&>a]:underline md:text-lg text-base”>The standard Turbo 6X measures 165.85×75.85×8.55mm and weighs 208 grams with a plastic frame and side-mounted fingerprint sensor — practical proportions for a phone this price, though no OLED, no under-display fingerprint, and no IP69 on the base model.

The Base Model’s Honest Trade-Offs

The Turbo 6X standard is built around one impressive number — the 7,000mAh battery — and sensible compromises everywhere else. The Dimensity 7300 is a capable mid-range chip for messaging, video, and casual gaming. It won’t set benchmarks on fire. The Full HD+ LCD at 144Hz is the correct display choice at this price tier — OLED costs more and the budget goes into the battery instead.

The 50MP OV50D sensor is a solid workhorse camera with competent daylight performance. The 2MP depth sensor is essentially decorative and barely worth mentioning. The 8MP front camera is functional for video calls. None of this is surprising at under $150.

At 208 grams and 8.55mm thick, the phone carries its 7,000mAh cell with reasonable proportions. It’s not a featherweight — it won’t pretend to be.

The Pro Is the More Interesting Device

Expect the full picture — confirmed chipset for the Pro, exact pricing splits between variants, and launch date — within the next two weeks.
