TL;DR

OnePlus is facing criticism for misleading promotional materials regarding the lower 4GB RAM variant of the newly launched OnePlus N6.

The 4GB model lacks the 60-month fluency guarantee and 60fps video recording supported by the 6GB variant, yet active buy pages on Amazon India and the official OnePlus site advertise these features for both models without adequate footnotes.

Despite users and YouTubers pointing out these errors for two weeks since launch, the listings remain unchanged, effectively misleading users.

OnePlus appears to be in fresh soup once again. The company recently launched the OnePlus N6 budget smartphone, and while we noted the hardware limitations between the two memory and storage variants of the phone in our coverage, the brand is being called out for running promotional and marketing materials that are misleading users by promising longer fluency and 60fps video recording features on the lower 4GB variant that explicitly doesn’t support either.

X has been abuzz since the launch of the OnePlus N6, with many users pointing out that OnePlus’s advertised claims of “60-month fluency” guarantee and “smooth 60fps video recording” on its pre-launch teasers were missing footnotes to clarify that the features only applied to the higher 6GB RAM variant and not the lower 4GB RAM variant.
