OnePlus is preparing to introduce a new product line, the OnePlus Turbo series, designed to contend with performance-driven competitors such as Redmi and iQOO. The series highlights robust performance and extended battery longevity, as confirmed by OnePlus China President Li Jie Louis during the company’s 12th-anniversary celebration in China. The Turbo series is anticipated to make its debut in China around January 2026, while global release details have yet to be revealed.
Situated just beneath OnePlus’ flagship devices, the Turbo series is expected to incorporate premium chipsets, potentially including Snapdragon 8-series SoCs. This approach aligns with OnePlus’ legacy of performance-oriented devices, although the Turbo series indicates a more pronounced emphasis on performance and battery endurance. Initial speculations suggest battery capacities nearing 9,000mAh and high-refresh-rate screens with resolutions around 1.5K.
The timing of the launch is vital as the competition among performance-centric Android devices escalates, with numerous brands marketing gaming smartphones or gadgets featuring superior battery life. OnePlus aims to attract younger, performance-enthusiastic consumers with the Turbo series, presenting a more focused alternative to conventional flagships. Information regarding pricing and global distribution remains undisclosed, but the series is expected to first launch in China.
