OnePlus has begun teasing the upcoming launch of the N6 Lite smartphone in India. Initial teasers on an Amazon India microsite, using the tagline “Powerally big”, suggest a device featuring a flat display with a punch-hole selfie camera and a green frame.

Subsequent details indicate the N6 Lite will likely feature a flat plastic mid-frame with a metal-like finish and will be available in black and green. While the N6 Lite is positioned as an affordable 4G option, reports suggest a broader strategic shift for OnePlus in India, where the OnePlus 16R may serve as the primary flagship instead of the OnePlus 16.
