The specs of the Turbo 6V are expected to be a notch down with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor and a 144 Hz display, but the battery capacity and other features will be on par with the Turbo 6. They will both consume about 80 W for wired charging, and reverse charging may be allowed. First leaks point to a flat screen and a boxy camera, which are characteristic of OnePlus’ trends, and the company is likely to show different colors of the devices.
