OnePlus is preparing its next flagship, and recent leaks are painting a picture of a substantial hardware overhaul with the OnePlus 16. While an official launch date remains unconfirmed, details regarding the display, battery, camera system, and chipset are beginning to surface.
Key Specifications
- Display: A 6.78-inch flat AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate is reportedly in development.
- Chipset: The OnePlus 16 is tipped to utilise the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, built on a 2nm process.
- Battery: Leaks suggest a massive 9,000mAh battery capacity, supported by 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
- Camera: The device is expected to debut a 200MP primary camera, alongside a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. A 50MP front-facing camera is also anticipated.
OnePlus has already confirmed that the OnePlus 16 will ship with ColorOS 17, based on Android 17. The design is expected to draw inspiration from upcoming Oppo Find X10 models, featuring a glossy back and an aluminum chassis, according to leaks reported by TechKard.
Currently, a launch in China is anticipated first, potentially in the second half of October 2026, with a subsequent release in India expected after that. The OnePlus 16 is positioned to compete in the flagship-killer segment, offering high-end specifications at a competitive price point.
