Several reports have suggested that the OnePlus 16, which is expected to debut in China in October this year, will bring improvements across multiple areas. One of the biggest upgrades is said to be the display, as its refresh rate is expected to surpass the 165Hz panel found on the OnePlus 15. In a new Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station shared fresh details about what appears to be the OnePlus 16.
OnePlus 16’s display and chipset details leaked
According to the leak, the OnePlus 16 could feature a new 6.78-inch custom BOE LTPO flat display with a 1.5K resolution. The panel is said to use LIPO packaging technology, allowing for extremely slim and symmetrical bezels on all four sides, reportedly measuring around 1mm.
The display is also tipped to offer a very high refresh rate, with 185Hz said to be the minimum target, while the company is reportedly evaluating support for up to 240Hz. The leak further claims that the phone may use a custom touch control IC and could support the BT.2020 color gamut. The tipster describes the panel as a “full-package flagship display” in terms of technology and specifications.
The device is also expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975) chip, which means it could also feature the latest LPDDR6 RAM. With this chip onboard, the device is expected to rival the iQOO 16, which is also rumored to be a performance-focused flagship powered by the same chipset.
Coming back to the OnePlus 16, its rear camera setup is expected to include a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. Recent leaks have also suggested that its battery capacity may reach around the 9,000mAh mark.
As a next-generation flagship, the OnePlus 16 may ship with OxygenOS 17 based on Android 17. Its base variant is likely to arrive with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and it could be priced at around 5,000 Yuan (~$730).
