OnePlus, one of the notable names in the smartphone market, is expanding its N series, developed for users looking for affordable devices, with a new model.

Following the first announcements for the Indian market, the design and official release date of the OnePlus N6x model are becoming clear. The latest promotional images shared by the company confirm that the device will be introduced on July 31 and will come with a new camera module in pill form, unlike the previous square-designed OnePlus N6.

The device, which is prepared to be available to the user with light blue and dark burgundy color options, aims to create a strong alternative in the entry and mid-segment with its stylish flat-edged design and budget-friendly structure.

Significant Changes in Design: What Does OnePlus N6x Promise?

OnePlus is making a major innovation in its design language with the N6x, which it introduced shortly after the N6 model.

The large and square rear camera island in the previous model is replaced by a much more elegant, thin and pill-shaped vertical camera module. The LED flash, which helps users take photos in night conditions, is elegantly positioned just outside this new module.

Keeping up with modern smartphone trends and new user demands, the technology company uses a body design with completely flat edges and sharp, right angles in its N6x model. This flat frame structure strengthens the device’s stance on the table or in the hand and gives it the feeling of a premium device, far beyond its price segment.

On the color options side, the eye-catching light blue (Ice Blue) and the bold burgundy (Burgundy Red) tones stand out. Fortunately, the 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is one of the hardware details abandoned by many smartphone manufacturers, especially in the upper segment, continues to exist in this model.

This small but vital detail creates a huge advantage, especially for technology enthusiasts who do not give up using wired headphones, seek a lag-free gaming experience and prefer affordable devices.

“Beyond Your Expectations” Slogan and Leaked Features

While marketing its new smartphone, OnePlus uses a very entertaining and ambitious slogan: “Beyond what you x-pect”. While this slogan plays on the letter ‘X’ in the name N6x, it gives strong signals that the device contains surprises not only in terms of external design but also on the hardware side.

As it is known, the N series, which is positioned differently from OnePlus’ main series, aims to deliver stable performance that will not cause any problems in daily use to the end consumer without high costs.

The brand does not yet officially disclose the technical specifications of the device, such as chipset, battery capacity, camera sensors or screen details. However, leaks that always circulate in the world of portable technology bring up important arguments about the technical capacity of the device.

Various sources state that the phone will have a 6.8-inch high-resolution IPS LCD panel that offers a very smooth screen refresh rate of 120Hz. Again, according to leaks, OnePlus N6x, which is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, has the potential to host a huge battery that changes standards in the smartphone market, such as 7500 mAh or 9000 mAh.

Considering that the previous member of the family, OnePlus N6, was released with a battery of 8000 mAh capacity and made users happy with its battery life even in intensive use, it does not seem surprising that the new model is also assertive in terms of power. If the claims about battery capacity are true, the new device is expected to offer a battery life of up to two days on a single charge, or even 2.5 days depending on usage habits.

OnePlus N6x’s Strategy in a Highly Competitive Market

The entry and mid-segment smartphone market is witnessing stronger competition than ever before, especially with price-performance-oriented products offered by China-based manufacturers. OnePlus plans to easily differentiate itself from its competitors with the completely flat and structured rear design, aesthetic camera array and eye-catching color options it implemented in the N6x model, thus offering users a different identity in the budget-friendly class.

Although the rest of the hardware features of the device, camera details and price tag are not fully clear, the official launch event to be held on July 31 will share all the secrets of the device with the technology world. Users who do not want to allocate huge budgets for a new smartphone, but at the same time do not want to compromise on premium design and long battery life, are already waiting with great interest for this new and stylish member of the N series.
