At launch, bank offers brought both base models to ₹35,999, so the choice usually comes down to battery size versus charging speed.
Prices have moved since. OnePlus raised prices on five phones in India on August 17, including the Nord 6, as our OnePlus N6x report explains, so check the current price of both. Our Redmi Turbo 5 price and specs report has more detail on Xiaomi’s phone.
