OnePlus is going all-in on high-frame-rate gaming with the upcoming OnePlus 16. The company just confirmed that the phone will support native 185FPS in a bunch of popular mobile titles, which should make it an appealing option for competitive players when it drops on October 12.
According to OnePlus, you’ll get that 185FPS mode right away in games like Peacekeeper Elite (the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile), Delta Force, Dark Zone (Arena Breakout), CrossFire: Mobile, Counter-Strike Online: Future, and Lost Light (international version of Firefly Assault).
They’re also planning to roll it out later to a longer list that includes Naruto, Hearthstone, Minecraft, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Carrot Fantasy, Clash of Clans, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage, Rhythm Master, Temple Run, Legends of the Three Kingdoms, and Subway Surfers.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 16 is set to be one of the first phones with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip. It’ll come in three colors: Starlight, Dark Forest, and Martian Masterpiece. Design-wise, it’s going for that ultra-narrow equal bezel look on all four sides with big rounded corners, so it should feel like a proper flat-screen phone that’s still comfortable to hold.
One of the cooler extras is the “Interstellar Light Effect.” It lights up for incoming calls, notifications, music, charging, and gaming.
The phone has already cleared China’s 3C certification under the model number PYB110, which confirms 100W wired charging. It’ll also be the first OnePlus phone to ship with ColorOS 17, bringing a system-wide 165Hz refresh rate for the first time (which goes up to 185Hz in gaming mode).
All of this continues OnePlus’s recent push toward sustained high frame rates and smarter resource management. From what’s out so far, it’s pretty clear the OnePlus 16 is aimed at people who care most about smooth competitive gameplay.
