OnePlus Nord 6 spotted in UAE certification, global launch tipped for Q1 2026

The OnePlus Nord 6 is edging closer to an official debut: the handset has resurfaced in a certification database, this time in the UAE. It had already been cleared in Malaysia, and these repeat sightings across regions point to a global rollout that isn’t far off. Current guidance suggests the release could land in the first quarter of 2026.

According to the TDRA filing, the device carries the model number CPH2795—the same identifier seen in Malaysia’s SIRIM records. As usual, regulators don’t delve into specifications, confirming only the name and market approval. Unofficial chatter, however, indicates the Nord 6 may serve as the global version of the OnePlus Turbo 6, a model expected to be introduced in China in January 2026. Expectations include a 6.78-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate, a setup that clearly aims at slick visuals.

Under the hood, rumors point to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 paired with LPDDR5X RAM up to 16 GB and UFS 4.1 storage up to 512 GB. Power is said to come from a 9000 mAh battery with support for 80 W fast charging and 27 W reverse charging. If those battery figures hold, endurance would become one of the phone’s headline qualities, with charging speeds designed to keep downtime brief.

The camera array is expected to include a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 32 MP front-facing camera. On the software side, the device will likely run Android 16 with OxygenOS 16 for global markets. Rounding out the feature list are an under-display fingerprint reader, IP68, IP69, and IP69K protection ratings, and a reinforced body—signals that durability is a major part of the pitch.
