TL;DR

• OnePlus is rumored to be working on a new phone, codenamed Volkswagen, with a large 9,000mAh battery.
• The phone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, positioning it below the recently launched OnePlus 15R.
• We’re unsure if the said phone is the Nord 6, the OnePlus Turbo, or any other.

With the earlier-than-usual unveiling of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, followed by the less powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, we’ve already seen Android flagships lining up for global launch. Although Samsung is expected to delay its announcement of the Galaxy S26 series, OnePlus’ flagship, the OnePlus 15, is already up for sale in global markets. The brand also recently followed up with the launch of the OnePlus 15R, much sooner than the typical launch cycle. Now, with the spare time on its hands, OnePlus is working on less premium options, and one of them is already emerging in leaks and may launch soon.

Per fresh leaks, OnePlus is gearing up to launch yet another phone set for global markets. Leaker Abhishek Yadav recently posted on X and Instagram Threads that a OnePlus phone codenamed “Volkswagen” is under development.
