OnePlus N6x India launch is officially confirmed for July 31, just about a month after the company introduced the first phone in its new N-series, the OnePlus N6. OnePlus has already put out teaser images and confirmed the launch date through its social media handles and a dedicated microsite on Amazon India, which will also be the phone’s official online retail partner.
This is a quick turnaround for a brand-new series, and it suggests OnePlus wants to build out the N-series into a proper budget-to-mid-range family rather than a one-off experiment. Here’s everything that’s been confirmed so far, along with the expected specifications and pricing for the OnePlus N6x.
OnePlus N6x India Launch Date and Availability
OnePlus has confirmed that the N6x will go live at 12 pm on July 31. As with the N6 before it, Amazon India is set to be the exclusive online retail partner for the launch, and a dedicated product microsite is already live there ahead of the actual reveal. Given how OnePlus typically structures its budget launches, expect the sale to open within a week or two of the announcement, most likely with an introductory discount or bank card offer for early buyers.
Design and Colour Options
OnePlus has already teased the phone’s rear design, and it’s a noticeably different look from the standard N6. The N6x moves to a flat-edge design with sharper, right-angled sides and a clean, flat back panel, giving it a more structured, premium feel compared to the more rounded N6.
The biggest visual change is the camera module. Instead of the square camera island seen on the N6, the N6x gets a pill-shaped, vertical dual-camera module tucked into the top-left corner of the back panel, with the LED flash sitting just outside it. It’s a clear design departure that should help the N6x stand out on shelves next to its sibling.
Two colour options have been confirmed so far a Burgundy Red variant with a ribbed, textured back finish, and an Ice Blue option with a smoother, lighter finish. Reports also suggest the phone will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, which the N6 also carries, a feature that’s becoming rarer at this price point.
OnePlus N6x Expected Specifications
While OnePlus hasn’t published a full spec sheet yet, the details doing the rounds ahead of launch point to a phone built for long battery life and everyday usability rather than raw performance. Here’s what’s expected:
- Display: 6.8-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and everyday use
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Apex, paired with OxygenOS running on top of Android
- Rear camera: 50-megapixel primary sensor
- Front camera: 8-megapixel selfie shooter
- Battery: A massive 8000mAh battery, aimed at multi-day usage for heavy phone users
- Charging: 45W wired fast charging
If these numbers hold up, the N6x would essentially be chasing the same “biggest battery in its segment” positioning that OnePlus used to market the N6 earlier this year, just packaged into a fresh design at a slightly lower price point.
Expected Price in India
OnePlus hasn’t announced official pricing yet, but early reports suggest the N6x could be positioned below the N6, which launched at ₹22,999 for its base 4GB+128GB variant. Going by that gap, the N6x is expected to be priced somewhere around the ₹20,000 mark, though this should be treated as an estimate until OnePlus confirms it on launch day.
How the N6x Compares to the OnePlus N6
On paper, the N6x and the N6 look extremely close both are expected to share the same 6.8-inch 120Hz display, the same 8000mAh battery, and a 50-megapixel main camera. The differences appear to be mostly about design and possibly the exact chipset, since a few reports suggest the N6x could use a slightly different Dimensity 6000-series variant rather than an identical processor.
In practice, this positions the N6x less as a successor to the N6 and more as a stylistic alternative aimed at buyers who want the same core experience massive battery, smooth display, capable cameras in a sharper-looking, flat-edge design with a different camera layout.
Should You Wait for the OnePlus N6x?
If you’re currently shopping in the ₹20,000-₹23,000 budget segment and battery life is your top priority, it’s worth holding off just a week or two to see the OnePlus N6x’s official price and full spec sheet before making a decision. The core hardware looks nearly identical to the OnePlus N6, so the choice between the two will likely come down to which design and colour option you prefer, along with whatever launch-day pricing and offers OnePlus puts on the table.
We’ll update this article with confirmed specifications and pricing as soon as OnePlus makes the official announcement on July 31.
