We recently learned that OnePlus is working on a smartphone with a massive 9,000mAh battery, and now leaked images of the device have surfaced online, giving us an early glimpse at what's coming.

OnePlus (on Weibo) confirmed that it's working on a new Turbo series of smartphones focused on gaming, with large batteries acting as the USP. According to reports, there will be two variants, and Android Headlines has now published images of the lower-powered model.

The device shown is said to carry the codename "Prado" and follows a familiar design language seen on recent OnePlus phones like the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R. It features a rectangular camera module in the top-left corner housing dual cameras. The phone appears to have a glossy back with a blue-greenish finish, though it's unclear whether the material is plastic or glass.

Unsurprisingly, the phone looks noticeably thick, which makes sense given the massive 9,000mAh battery inside — larger than what you'll find in some Android tablets. Despite its size, the design remains fairly minimal, especially when compared to more aggressive-looking gaming phones from brands like RedMagic.

As for specifications, this variant is said to pack the full 9,000mAh battery along with support for 80W fast charging. On the front, you're looking at a 6.8-inch 1.5K display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM, while the higher-end variant could come with the more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, as previously rumored.

Android Headlines also suggests that OnePlus plans to launch the phone outside China, potentially under the Nord branding, though it may skip a U.S. release altogether. Considering no Nord-branded phones have launched in the U.S. in recent years, that seems plausible.

As for timing, OnePlus is reportedly targeting a Q1 2026 launch, which means we could see the device debut around MWC 2026 in March. We should learn more about the device as we get closer to the launch.
