The first smartphone in the OnePlus Turbo series could launch next month, and it’s expected to feature a large 9000mAh battery and performance-focused features. Let’s talk about it.
Tech company OnePlus is reportedly gearing up for a significant shift in its smartphone lineup with the introduction of a brand-new series called OnePlus Turbo. The company has already confirmed work on this lineup, and recent leaks suggest that the first OnePlus Turbo smartphone could debut as early as next month. Unlike typical launches focused on camera upgrades or premium design, this new phone is said to target users who value raw performance and long battery life above everything else.
Massive battery could be the key highlight
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the standout feature of the upcoming OnePlus Turbo phone may be its unusually large battery. The leak claims the device could pack a massive 9000mAh battery, potentially the largest ever seen in the Oppo–OnePlus ecosystem. Such a capacity would significantly boost usage time, especially for gaming and heavy multitasking. The report also mentions a possible dual-cell battery setup, which may help maintain faster charging speeds and better thermal control despite the large battery size.
OnePlus appears to be changing its strategy
If these leaks turn out to be accurate, the OnePlus Turbo series would mark a noticeable change in the company’s long-standing strategy. Traditionally, OnePlus has aimed for a balanced approach in performance-centric phones. However, a battery of this size suggests a more focused, no-compromise performance direction. Tipsters believe the Turbo lineup could combine high-end processors similar to the 8-series, a battery size rivaling premium endurance phones, and a high refresh rate display for smoother performance.
Processor details still unclear
Details about the chipset remain uncertain for now. Some reports point toward Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, while others suggest a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chip for a variant internally known as the OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo. If the MediaTek version launches, it may sit in the upper mid-range category rather than the flagship segment. While OnePlus has not officially confirmed specifications or a launch date, the rumored 9000mAh battery alone makes the OnePlus Turbo series an intriguing and experimental move worth watching.
