OnePlus hasn’t said anything official about the OnePlus 16 yet, but leaks out of China keep coming. The latest one, from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, reveals key specs of the phone, and they line up pretty well with everything we’ve heard before.
According to the leak, the OnePlus 16 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, which carries the model code SM8975. It’s an up-and-coming chip from Qualcomm expected to reach 5GHz clock speed.
OnePlus 16 again tipped with ultra-high refresh rate
On the display side, earlier leaks suggested a minimum refresh rate of 185Hz, with OnePlus reportedly evaluating support up to 240Hz. The new leak confirms a BOE flat screen with an “ultra-high refresh rate,” which is consistent.
The panel is also said to use LTPO and LIPO packaging technologies to reduce bezels to around 1mm on all four sides. Whether it actually ships with 240Hz support is still unclear; the company is apparently still testing it.
As for the camera, the tipster reiterates that it will feature a 200MP periscope telephoto unit. Previous leak suggests the sensor could be in the 1/1.x-inch territory. The rest of the rear camera system is expected to include a 50MP primary and a 50MP ultrawide.
The OnePlus is also expected to get a major battery upgrade. Digital Chat Station‘s latest post mentions a maximum of 9,000mAh. A separate tipster previously claimed the same figure, so there’s at least some agreement there. The phone is also said to include a bionic X-axis vibration motor, symmetrical dual speakers, full water resistance, and a dedicated AI button.
As for software, the OnePlus 16 is expected to ship with OxygenOS 17 on top of Android 17. The phone is reportedly targeting a China launch in October, though no date has been confirmed.
