New Delhi: OnePlus is preparing to take its entry into the affordable smartphone market to the next level now with the introduction of the OnePlus N6x. The company has begun droppping hints about the upcoming phone on its own microsite on Amazon India, stating that the phone will arrive soon. But the official launch date and complete specifications are still to be revealed.
The OnePlus N6X is likely to be the sibling of the recently launched OnePlus N6, which debuted in the Indian market just a few weeks back. Sony’s iconic tag team Yogesh Brar says the N6x is going to be adorned with “familiar” specifications. This indicates the new product will likely be derived from the N6 and have a couple of variations to make it even more competitive.
OnePlus N6 has a big, 6.75-inch HD+ LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, which delivers smooth scrolling and gaming. It is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset and also consists of a 45W quick charging help battery of 8,000mAh. For selfie enthusiasts, the phone comes with a 50MP primary rear camera and a lowly second camera.
Whether they’re the same specs isn’t confirmed by OnePlus, but it could be assumed they will carry all these into a less powerful chipset, or lower on power, and smaller on battery capacity, resulting in a reduced price. The 50MP primary camera and 120Hz display could remain unchanged, making it a good choice for users looking for a budget-friendly smartphone.
It’s interesting to note that another report says that OnePlus will also prepare a 4G-only device for India. The company reportedly is looking into this strategy to cut production costs, as memory chip prices keep climbing. Whether this brand new 4G handset is the OnePlus N6x or a completely new variant is yet to be seen. OnePlus seems determined to improve its foothold in India’s budget smartphone space with the introduction of an affordable smartphone. Additional information about OnePlus N6x such as full specifications in detail, pricing, and official launch date is expected to be shared in the coming days.
