OnePlus N6x has made another official appearance ahead of its expected launch in India, with the company revealing the smartphone’s exterior design and color options for the first time.
The latest teaser offers a closer look at the upcoming addition to OnePlus’ N-series lineup, highlighting a refreshed rear design and confirming two launch colors. Although OnePlus has not yet announced the device’s official release date, the company has indicated that additional details will be shared in the coming days.
The announcement follows an earlier teaser that confirmed the arrival of a new N-series smartphone for the Indian market.
OnePlus N6x adopts a refreshed design
The new teaser shows that the OnePlus N6x will feature a flat rear panel paired with flat side frames, continuing the modern design language adopted across many recent smartphones.
One noticeable change is the redesigned camera housing.
Instead of the square camera island used on the OnePlus N6, the N6x introduces a vertically aligned, pill-shaped camera module positioned in the upper-left corner of the back panel. An LED flash sits beside the camera housing, creating a cleaner and more minimalist appearance.
While OnePlus has not disclosed camera specifications, the redesigned layout suggests the N6x will have a visual identity distinct from the standard N6 model rather than simply serving as a minor refresh.
Two color options confirmed
The teaser also confirms that the OnePlus N6x will launch in two finishes:
- Light Blue
- Maroon
The company has not yet announced the official marketing names for these colors, nor has it indicated whether additional variants will become available after launch.
The two finishes suggest OnePlus is targeting users looking for brighter and more youthful color choices in the affordable smartphone segment.
“Beyond what you x-pect”
Accompanying the teaser is the slogan “Beyond what you x-pect.”
OnePlus has not explained the meaning behind the tagline.
It could refer to improvements in performance, battery life, camera capabilities or overall value, but the company has not confirmed which features it intends to emphasize.
The use of the letter “X” in the phrase also reinforces the device’s branding as the N6x.
Launch expected soon
Although an official launch date remains undisclosed, OnePlus’ teaser campaign indicates that the announcement is approaching.
Technology companies typically release multiple promotional teasers over several days before confirming launch events, pricing and complete specifications.
More information is expected to include:
- Display specifications
- Processor
- Camera hardware
- Battery capacity
- Charging speeds
- Memory configurations
- Software version
- Retail pricing
Position in the N-series lineup
The N-series serves as OnePlus’ entry-level and mid-range smartphone family, focusing on balancing affordability with features such as fast charging, large batteries and smooth displays.
The redesigned appearance of the N6x suggests OnePlus is looking to further differentiate models within the lineup rather than relying solely on internal hardware changes.
Whether the N6x replaces an existing model or expands the current portfolio will become clearer once the company publishes its full specifications.
What to expect next
With the exterior design now officially revealed, attention is shifting to the smartphone’s internal hardware and pricing.
OnePlus is expected to continue releasing teasers ahead of launch, providing more information about performance, cameras, software features and battery capabilities before opening sales in India.
For now, the confirmed design changes, new color options and updated camera layout indicate that the OnePlus N6x will arrive with a noticeably different look from the OnePlus N6, positioning it as a distinct addition to the company’s expanding budget smartphone lineup.
