The iQOO 16 and OnePlus 16, two upcoming performance-focused flagships, are drawing closer to their respective launches. The iQOO model is already confirmed to launch in China this month, potentially towards the end of September. Meanwhile, rumors suggest the OnePlus 16 could be unveiled in October, and a new leak has now revealed the camera specifications of both models.
iQOO 16 and OnePlus 16 camera specifications leaked
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the two upcoming flagships will take notably different approaches to their camera hardware. The iQOO 16 is said to feature a triple-camera setup built around a 50-megapixel OV50Q primary sensor with a 1/1.3-inch size.
The main camera is reportedly joined by a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. This would give the iQOO 16 three 50-megapixel sensors, with the larger main sensor potentially offering an advantage in low-light photography and overall image quality.
The OnePlus 16, meanwhile, is tipped to feature a much higher-resolution 200-megapixel primary camera. The sensor is reportedly a 1/1.4-inch unit, although the leak does not identify its exact model.
It could be paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and the same 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor for 3x periscope telephoto shots. On paper, the OnePlus 16 therefore combines a high-resolution main camera with two 50-megapixel secondary sensors.
As far as the other specifications are concerned, both phones are expected to feature top-notch displays. The iQOO 16 could get a 2K 165Hz Samsung AMOLED panel, while the OnePlus 16 is tipped to feature a 1.5K 185Hz OLED display. Both phones are expected to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, with the iQOO 16 reportedly packing an 8,400mAh battery and the OnePlus 16 a larger 9,000mAh unit.
Both could support 100W wired charging, while wireless charging may reach 40W on the iQOO 16 and 50W on the OnePlus 16. On the software front, both are expected to run Android 17 with their respective OriginOS 7 and ColorOS 17 interfaces.
Which camera setup and overall package looks more exciting to you: the iQOO 16’s triple 50-megapixel system or the OnePlus 16’s 200-megapixel main camera?
