The company has hosted an event in China recently, where we have seen the new OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V models confirmed along with most of their hardware features. This is the first OnePlus phone to pack a massive 9,000mAh battery. The Turbo 6 is going to sport a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate and a flat design like the 15 series. It will be powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Redmi Note 15 launch in India is also confirmed for January 2026 many people are eager to know how Xiaomi plans to sell the new Redmi Note model. Redmi Note 15 will get a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, as mentioned on a product microsite from the brand. The device will come with IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. Xiaomi is calling it the 108 MasterPixel edition which hints at a 108MP primary camera at the back. The phone is tipped to pack a 5,520mAh battery with 45W charging support.
Realme 16 Pro series will feature the 16 Pro and the 16 Pro+ models in the market, and one of these is likely to cost much higher than before.
