1. OnePlus Nord 6 India Launch
The OnePlus Nord 6 launch date in India is set for April 7, 2026, bringing a major upgrade to its popular mid-range lineup. The upcoming OnePlus phone is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM.
One of its biggest highlights is the massive 9,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, which, combined with a 165 Hz 1.5K AMOLED display, makes it a top-tier all-rounder. On the optics front, the OnePlus Nord 6 is expected to feature a 50 MP main camera alongside a 16 MP front shooter.
As for the OnePlus Nord 6 price in India, given the ongoing RAM crisis, we expect it to launch in the Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000 segment.
2. Ai+ Nova 2 5G, Ai+ Nova 2 Ultra 5G India Launch
Moving on, the Ai+ Nova 2 5G series India launch date is scheduled for April 9, 2026. The lineup consists of the Ai+ Nova 2 5G and Ai+ Nova 2 Ultra 5G, with the former being a more affordable, everyday smartphone offering Android 16 out of the box, 5G connectivity and a 50 MP dual rear camera.
The Ai+ Nova 2 Ultra 5G, on the other hand, takes a more distinctive route with gamer-focused additions and standout design elements. It is confirmed to feature customisable shoulder buttons and a circular LED ring on the back for smart alerts. The upcoming phone will also offer a 50 MP primary rear camera like its more affordable cousin.
Under the hood, the Ultra variant will be powered by the Dimensity 7400 chipset. It will also feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, 6,000mAh battery and an IP68 rating.
While the Ai+ Nova 2 5G price in India could be set under Rs 15,000, the Ultra could be priced between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000.
