The OnePlus 16 will feature a 9,000mAh Glacier Battery, making it the largest battery fitted to a OnePlus flagship to date. The company has also confirmed that the phone uses Oppo’s proprietary Glacier Battery Power Chip, designed to improve energy management and extend battery life.

OnePlus claims the combination delivers longer endurance than other batteries of the same capacity, maintains stable performance even at low charge levels and keeps the battery healthy for up to five years. The 3C certification has already revealed support for 100W fast charging, and it is also expected to support 50W wireless charging.

Earlier today, OnePlus confirmed that the OnePlus 16 will feature a fourth-generation BOE Oriental Screen using custom X4 luminescent material. The display supports a system-wide refresh rate of 165Hz and up to 185Hz in compatible games. It also offers hardware-level brightness as low as 1 nit, an updated P4 display processor and Ultra-Dynamic Clarity Technology for sharper motion. The phone is expected to feature symmetrical 1.15mm bezels on all four sides.

Performance is another key focus, with the OnePlus 16 tipped to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. The brand has confirmed that the device will ship with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, while the phone is expected to run Android 17-based ColorOS 17.

On the photography front, the OnePlus 16 will have a 200-megapixel main camera with OIS, accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
