The OnePlus Nord 6 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 platform. Gaming is a key focus for the device, with OnePlus highlighting support for 165 frames per second (FPS) in popular mobile games like BGMI, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Free Fire MAX. To support competitive gaming, OnePlus has integrated a suite of hardware it calls “Edge Tech.” These include:

The display brightness in HDR mode is 1800 cd/m² (peak 3600 cd/m²). The screen supports 3840 Hz PWM dimming and a minimum brightness of 2 cd/m² for low-light conditions. The display also uses Aqua Touch 2.0 technology, allowing you to use it with wet fingers. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. The smartphone itself is water and dust resistant to IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K standards. It also meets MIL-STD-810H military standards for drop resistance and environmental impacts.
