NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The OnePlus N6 is the more complete choice for camera, battery, and display: it offers 50 MP versus 13 MP, 8,000 mAh versus 7,000 mAh, and 1,200 nits versus 900 nits. The OnePlus N6x is the pick only when 5G and lower weight matter most: it includes 5G and weighs 214 g versus 224 g.
The N6 extends its camera lead with an f/1.8 aperture versus f/2.2, Dual LED versus LED flash, and 1080p video at 60 fps as well as 30 fps; the N6x stops at 1080p at 30 fps. For performance, both use the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Apex, but the N6 has 6 GB of RAM versus 4 GB.
The battery also favors the N6: charging is 45 W versus 15 W, and its IP65 protection is stronger than the N6x’s IP64, while both include MIL-STD-810H. Both displays are 6.8″ IPS LCD panels at 120 Hz; the N6x’s trade-off is a 3.5 mm audio jack, which the N6 lacks.
