The OnePlus 16 has arrived in China with flagship hardware, including a high-refresh-rate display, a massive battery, and upgraded cameras. However, its availability outside China remains a concern, particularly after OnePlus withdrew from the US and European markets, with no confirmed launch date for the new flagship in India.

Although OnePlus India has previously said its local operations continue as usual, buyers looking for a phone they can purchase through official channels may want to consider alternatives. Here are five flagship smartphones worth considering instead of the OnePlus 16.

OnePlus 15

The OnePlus 15 remains an alternative for buyers who want the OnePlus experience without depending on the newly launched OnePlus 16. It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz gaming refresh rate and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, offering strong performance for gaming and everyday tasks.

Its 7,300mAh battery supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, giving users a substantial power reserve and flexible charging options. While its battery is smaller than the OnePlus 16’s 9,000mAh unit, the OnePlus 15 remains a capable choice for those who do not necessarily need the latest generation.

The OnePlus 15 features a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera. Its front camera handles selfies and video calls, while the familiar OxygenOS experience may appeal to existing OnePlus users; availability and warranty support should nevertheless be checked in the buyer’s market.

The Vivo X500 Pro Max and Honor Magic 9 Pro are also worthy mentions for buyers seeking photography-focused flagship phones with advanced camera systems and versatile shooting capabilities.
