The company OnePlus has confirmed that it will soon introduce a new series of smartphones under the name OnePlus Turbo. It is expected that the lineup, which includes performance-oriented phones, will compete with Turbo devices from other brands and go on sale in January 2026.
OnePlus Turbo’s Innovative Features
A new leak from insider Digital Chat Station has revealed key specifications of the upcoming OnePlus Turbo model. According to the insider, the OnePlus Turbo will be the first device in the Oppo-OnePlus (Ouga group) ecosystem to feature a 9000 mAh battery combined with a dual-cell design. Such a move reportedly signals a significant shift: performance-oriented phones entering an era of ultra-large batteries. The insider adds that the combination of the Snapdragon 8 series SoC, the 9000 mAh battery, and a 165 Hz refresh rate display delivers a “perfect Turbo mode.”
Leadership Promises
The president of OnePlus China, Li Jie Louis, is leading the charge on the Turbo series with promises of flagship-level performance. This could instill consumer confidence and anticipation, as well as setting expectations for affordability and gaming capabilities. He also asserted that the Turbo series aims to be “exceptionally strong” both in performance and battery life in its category.
Competitive Landscape
Competitors likely to rival the OnePlus Turbo series, especially in or by January 2026, include brands like Xiaomi, specifically with their Mi and Redmi Note series, and Realme with their GT series, which have historically focused on high performance and efficient battery life.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications of Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, as well as that Realme GT 7 Pro would receive a bright Samsung screen and that the Dimensity 9400 SoC would launch before the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
